What would you do if all you had was five dollars to your name or in your wallet? What would you do if someone asked you for a portion of that five dollars or all of it? How would you feel releasing the only money that you have? Another question is, is it really all you have?

As a child I witnessed my family struggle with money, it always seemed that there was never enough. I remember a cold and grey morning in New Jersey where my parents were upset and my mother crying because our car had been repossessed. I never quite understood the lack, because we had food on our table and clothes on our back, however there always lingered a sense of scarcity in our home and in our hearts. Being that I saw my parents struggle with their relationship to money, I inherited the same sort of attitude as a young adult, and found myself struggling to pay bills or acquire a job that payed enough to support my lifestyle and endeavors. Over time, I realized that we all possess the inherent ability to manifest exactly what we need or want in life. It did not require struggle as I perceived it, but a shift in the way I think, speak, and relate to myself and the world. It also required trust and faith in something much larger than myself.

Ahh the chakras… 

When you think of the chakras, what comes to mind?

Every inch of this topic has been explored to the core in the Spiritual community for some time now. It’s important we remember that the chakras are much more than just representations.

They are physical energy centers along our body that keep us balanced with who we are.

Examples of this are always playing out in the physical:

Talking over everyone at a party? Too much Throat.

Coming off as a bit arrogant or egotistical? Too much Solar Plexus.

When we understand the implications of each chakra, we can practically apply the specific energies of each one  to find balance in our daily, physical interactions with each other and with ourselves.

What is the secret to change the world and fix the problems all around us?  Could it possibly be laying dormant in many of us excited to emerge?
