Did you know that all of our chakras spin and your auric energy vibrates? Some of these have a very specific frequency we will be sure to give you each as they apply.

How do you answer when asked where do you call home? It could be where you were born, your family heritage, where you lived for many years that felt like home, or where you’re current house is located? Perhaps where you felt drawn to as a young child that you found pleasant, as an adult where you spent time, or at your age where you are currently living? Is it the lakes that you sat by that gave you solace, the fields you walked in that you allowed you to hear your inner voice or heart’s desires, possibly what you truly wanted in life - was that home? Could it be where you have been given the most respect, honor, responsibility? What personally speaks to you? What does home mean to you in the physical, emotional, spiritual sense? Have you ever stopped to think about “why you consider it home”? What about the Earth as a planet, this time in History, is it the space around you that makes you feel at “home”? When asked where do you come from? Does that mean The English, Irish, German, Indian heritage you were born into? Perhaps you have never set foot on that particular soil! Could it be the state you lived in for so many years that you “felt” it was home because of the friendships made there? What does home really mean to you? Is it just a location, a state of mine, a spiritual feeling? In this exercise making your choices cannot be influenced or associated with any another person, only yourself. What are the parameters of “home” that give home meaning to you? What gives it enough meaning that you feel emotionally or spiritually attached to it? What gives you the feeling of being fulfilled in your home (remember no other person/people)? How did you come to this conclusion? What inspires you to feel this, that or the other way about what is in fact a home isto you? Not just the House you live in. Taking time to be alone to figure this out…There are monasteries that ask you to refrain from speaking for 3 up to 30 days while you are staying on their grounds. You eat, pray, walk among others without speaking. You spend time in Nature without words. You are “with yourself”…learning about you…what your needs are and what brings you happiness without the involvement or influence of words from or with others. What if you didn’t have electronics of any kind : no TV / Phone / Computer / Radio no personal involvement -verbal interaction or electronic stimulation, no news or song from the outside world during this timeframe. Would you “find the time” to explore what was truly meaningful to you or be lost without words and paralyzed and place yourself in seclusion – could you do it? Care to Read more just click below?
