My power: affirmations for 7 energy centres

Image: (c) Harish Davda 2020.

The following words are based on the 7 chakras or energy points which we all have in our body and are influenced by them. The 7th chakra is above our head and does not occupy the body.

(1 - Base chakra)
My strength come from the wisdom

And will of my ancestors

Who not only nurtured me

But also prepared me for my life

With their love and blessings.

(2 - Sacral chakra)

My strength comes from my survival instinct

And will to stand on my feet

To be creative, to produce

To be responsible

And protect myself and my family.

(3 - Solar Plexis chakra)

My strength comes from being wilful,

To be strong, courageous

And contribute to the world

Based on what I have learnt

And leave a lasting legacy.

(4- Heart chakra)

My strength comes from my heart

I care, I'm compassionate,

I'm learning to give unconditionally,

At the same time, my heart is intelligent

And helps me to listen to my inner being.

( 5 - The throat chakra)

My strength comes from my voice,

I speak with authority and authenticity

I listen attentively and without judgement

I see with my eyes and my ears

And respond purposefully.

 (6 - The third eye chakra)

My strength comes from my wisdom

Collected from this life and many more

Which let's me experience things

Beyond my mind and feelings

To bring harmony in what I do.

(7 - Crown chakra)

Finally, my strength comes from a source

Outside of this world, and universe.

I have a feeling, and I know

Why I'm here, where I'm going

And what I need to do.

Meditating on the seven energy points/chakras and using the above affirmation for each chakra is a good way of attaining strength and balance in our body and beyond.

This or that: duality or breaking into freedom?

On a cloudy and rainy day.

Calmness after the storm.

Late afternoon.

On a sunny day, nearly.

Look at the above photos taken on different days, in different weather conditions. Photography students and those interested in photography will go to town in analysing the photos and select the best one. This will be justified if it was part of their assignment and they were learning photography skills.

In our day-to-day life, we are hard wired to judge, mostly through our mind. The hard wiring has happened in the past. So, many of our judgements, assessments, and preferences are based in the past. And, through the judgements, we go into the future. No wonder we often feel powerless. The 'outer' world does not serve us much. We often remain unsatisfied, disappointed, and lacking in freedom. Welcome to the world of duality!

So, what is non-dualistic thinking or awareness?  See the explanation below:

How do we get there? Well, I don't have many answers, except that we need to be in the present, in the now. I'm still scratching the surface. Being mindful, experiencing our presence, is a good start. This is the reflection of our 'inner' world. Regular practice of mindfulness and meditation is a good start to release ourselves of the past and our judgemental character. 

In the now, we experience our presence powerfully. There are infinite possibilities which we are able to see. The past is dissolved. We feel free. In this state, positive thoughts will unwire our brain of past negative thinking, even trauma. We begin to live. We begin to create happiness for ourselves and all around us. 

My deep namaste!
