About Deepak Chopra

Time Magazine heralded Deepak Chopra as one of the 100 heroes and icons of the century, and credited him as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine." Entertainment Weekly described Deepak Chopra as "Hollywood's man of the moment, one of publishing's best-selling and most prolific self-help authors." He is the author of more than 50 books and more than 100 audio, video and CD-Rom titles. He has been published on every continent and in dozens of languages.

One Response to Unblocking Your Chakras

    I am posting a blog on this subject if you would like more info, here is a little on it to get you started.

    Healing the Chakras with honey charge with color and energy.

    For thousands and thousands of years Shamans, Medicine Healers and Energy Specialist have use the healing properties of honey to help balance the energy fields of human-beings Chakra systems.

    To understand how we can do this we must first understand the Chakras and how they work. To make this easier to master we will start with the 7 basic Chakras.

    Lesson 1 " Understanding the Chakras"

    The first step we will take is a very important lesson. Understanding the Chakras, their colors and effect and how they relate to our health. Together we will follow this colored path to understanding our inner health and balance. If you have been here before this will act as a review for you. If this is the first time diving into the pool-I love to call the colors of your life, enjoy. If you google Chakras you can find several test to help you find you strength and weakness, though you should be able to do your own self diagnoses as we move forward.

    You should be able to start seeing those around you as a color, based on where their life's journey has landed them, if you do not already know your color, you will I hope find it through this process. I see the color of a person surrounding them as a part of their aura but more than that I see it as them, their personality, their outlook, their makeup. (By the way if you have not already guessed it, my color is Turquoise, the color of the Orator, though I am now in transition to Indigo Blue and think that in this life time I will make that move.)

    R.E.D. The Root Chakra

    Here we find our foundation, our closest point of contact to Mother Earth. It sits just below the hip, at the base of your spine. Think of it as a large square red box. It attaches you to the Earths energy system. It runs down your legs and into the Earth like a large grounding rod or root system. We use this to stand upright. Here we find the basic things needed for survival in life, a roof over our head, food on the table, a job and those things that provide stability in our lives.

    The elephant is the animal that represents this Chakra, because of the grounding way it walks. The Element connected to it is the Earth itself. It is found in the land of all the indigenous people of this planet. To connect to it one only needs look around and notice the beauty and perfection in the natural world.

    Balanced Red People are solid, grounded, connected and they know what they want out of life. They tend to stay in one place and do not float around much. They are more likely to be archaeologist than searching the heaven for extraterrestrials. They are deeply connected to those souls they call family and understand the importance of forming a solid bond to those they will travel many lifetimes with. They love to work in their gardens or with the Earth such as in pottery. They always seem balanced and when they touch you or you touch them you feel grounded, similar to the feeling one gets when holding the black shiny stones Hematite. They are great to have around when you need a rock to lean on. You can always depend on them to get the job done. They are very good foundation people for an organization. When they begin to make the transition between red and orange sparks start to fly. If you are bless to be around them at this time they will be some of the most passionate and sensual people you will ever experience.

    Some ask why these colors are so important; I see our colors like this. I believe we are all-through our many lifetimes-on a journey, from the Red of the Root Chakra to the Violet of the Crown Chakra. Some of us will make this journey faster than others. I think a lot depends on how fast we become comfortable at being in and understanding each color. Allowing ourselves to wear it like an old friend we can then make the decision we are ready to move on to the next color.

    I believe that deep inside us is a desire to over our lifetimes continue on this journey until we become that blissful, peaceful, spiritual, healing color that is Violet. This color-space is always calling us forward.

    Where do we go after we complete our lives of living in violet? Some say we become Angels. I think we have that option but I believe that most make a decision to continue to keep in touch with all they have experienced in their many lifetimes and as Steven Spielberg put it, we become
