Why Tuning Up Your Chakras is so Vital!

What is the value of imagination, creativity and inspiration?  Priceless!

This winter, I had the opportunity to witness individuals applying the law of attraction - only in reverse. The law of attraction is such that the more you believe you have, the more comes your way.  However, with so much fear and a sense of panic (first chakra), people who knew this philosophy ended up doing the opposite. The less they thought there was to go around, the less abundance they found. If you are living such a paradigm, you may find yourself stealing from those around you instead of working together (taking the next step to the second chakra) to get beyond meeting only your basic needs. I compare it to standing on someone’s shoulders to keep afloat at the deep-end of the pool. Ultimately, you may both drown. The media does a wonderful job fueling the fear and panic that keeps us in the first chakra. Why do you think Fear Factor and Survivor are such popular television shows?

I realized that resorting to stealing others’ resources was all too common when I attended a very interesting seminar at the University of Washington. The talk was given by two attorneys that were helping bright young entrepreneurs.   These talented individuals were full of creativity and had quit their high-paying jobs to protect their most precious assets – their imaginations – from the corporations that would have absorbed all of their original ideas for years to come if they were simply employees. It was their amazing ideas, their inspirations, which helped fuel thousands of inventions and discoveries – many of which have made our world a better place.  It is these ideas which are highly sought after because they are the spark from which so much is manifested.

The attorneys who spoke played a critical role in protecting these intangibles from being stolen, bought, imitated, contorted, or even squashed.  They helped the entrepreneurs not only keep their creative ideas, but also helped preserved their spirit, thus keeping their higher chakras vibrant and healthy. This is essential in having inventive ideas. These corporations, like many people, often ride on the coattails of others’ inspiration. The term that fits them appropriately is “cleptocrats”: thieves of the original ideas of others. I am sure you know a few – a boss, coworker or a relative who always seems to be making the money but hasn’t ever actually built anything, nor do they give credit where credit is due but benefit from the results of others’ efforts (misuse of the power/third chakra). The biggest problem with being a cleptocrat is that the well eventually runs dry. People cease to trust them and relationships are shattered. Alone again, back to the first chakra they go.

The key to having your own original ideas is to keep your higher chakras well-tuned. You have to be living in spirit to get those “Ah Ha!” moments. The higher chakras feed our spirit, but do us no good unless we are grounded in the lower chakras. Imbalanced lower-chakra people feed off those who are inspired, and top-heavy chakra people depend on others to help manifest their visions. Balance is the key, and the heart chakra is the critical element to wholeness. Self love, connection to others, and being motivated by love will bring about such balance. Communities and groups can thrive when individuals have their intangibles acknowledged and appreciated. Here is my recipe for bringing your ideas to fruition:

1 Cup of Inspiration (7^th Chakra)

2 Cups of Imagination (6^th Chakra)

A Dash of Creativity (5^th Chakra)

A Handful of Appreciation for yourself and others (4^th Chakra)

3 Tablespoons Motivation (3^rd Chakra)

2 Cups Cooperation (2^nd Chakra)

And a whole lot of Integrity (1^st Chakra)

Add ingredients one by one.
