Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 Hello, I am interested in exploring either chakra balancing or aura (healing touch) therapy. I am a 29 yo male just about to finish my MBA. I have much to be thankful for, however, I am pretty unhappy with the direction I've been evolving in. I have facial ticks that have been bothering me since I was a child and my default facial expression is emotionless, which tends to create the impression that I'm angry or unfriendly. I also have a very sarcastic tendency. I have trouble being genuinely happy. In the last few years, although I do consider myself social, I have spent more time indoors and choose not to go outside unless for a specific purpose. My fear is that I'm becoming anxiety ridden. Additionally, I find that I am unable to really love and feel that although I have love for my family, I am perfectly happy without them around. I see them 4 times a year. My motivation is at an all time low because I am pursuing a business career while my passion is music. I've got several talents that I have never developed to world class because I am too unmotivated to act. I am still achieving at a pretty high level, but I feel as though I cannot tap my potential. I want to improve my attitude, be friendlier and engaging to people and I fear that I'm moving backwards. I also think that this might all trace back to my childhood, being picked on,? etc. I am wondering whether chakra and/or aura assistance might get me back on track. Thanks a million in advance, Ari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 yeah, but Reiki or Shamballa would help more - both incorporate both chakra balancing and auric healing. Shamballa is more intuitive and sent into auric field - Reiki uses certain hand positions in set format. More info on www.metagifted.org/ specifically: http://www.metagifted.org/topics/meta/shamballa/ Get out of the business field and go into your passion!!! - Or at LEAST go back to part time and put half time into what you love.. You owe it to yourself!!!! Love and Light, (\o/) /_\ ~Angel ----------- Wendy H. Chapman, Dir., MA Ed.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Excuse me, Wendy... Clarification, here. Usui Reiki as a modality does not address either the chakras or the aura specifically; it does discuss energy application methods and has procedural hand positions (the standard " routine " was added by Hayashi) which generally correspond to chakra governance areas, but they are not taught as part of the curriculum for Reiki traditionally. If you have learned Reiki with information on the chakras, it is because someone in your lineage felt they could add it in. It is not Reiki information though, since Reiki is not directly focused to chakra or aura work. It certainly affects both, but isn't traditionally taught as a specific intervention for either. I'm pretty certain anyone else who teaches Reiki here can agree with that. If the aura and chakras are being taught, it is not Usui Reiki, and needs to be called something else. And, hey, Sistah, we can't be sure what will help a person " more " , since we are obviously not intimate with their internal thought processes, lessons or interests ;-) I think that is for him to decide.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hi Ari: It sounds like you have been doing a lot of self-exploration all ready, and since you are approaching a turning point in your life, it is natural that you would be reevaluating your path and goals. The first thing I would like to say to you is, that no education is wasted education, and anything can be a jumping off place for something else. Having an MBA is a great accomplishment, and if you decide to explore your music in more depth, having a background in business will certainly serve you in good stead. Many artists do not have the grounding balance of left brain preparation and are taken advantage of by those who do. A second thing you might consider is that a desire for moving inward or solitude doesn't have to be a negative thing; if it is honored and given the respect and time it deserves, you can balance your life with periods of social activity and private downtime in retreat. You might start this by beginning a journal, if you haven't already. Here is a basic info site for that: http://www.geocities.com/nrgbalance/journal.htm About your feelings... often we have trouble sorting them out if they get muddy, which seems to have happened with you. I do not think that anyone isn't capable of love, for instance. You know that you have certain anxieties and fears, that you are restless and disappointed, and that you are dissatisfied at times. I can tell you that these things may or may not mean you are on the wrong path... they may just mean you are looking at your path through your legs, or you are walking backwards ;-) Your gifts can be explored no matter what else you are doing. You can make time for them by making a budget of your time resources and pledging a certain amount each day, or each week, specifically to that. I really would encourage you to try the " Dream List " on the Journal page, which might help you clarify exactly what you think you want to do with your music or other gifts. Finally, know that you have unlimited potential, and you do not have to live up (or live down) to the expectations and desires of others. Much perfectionism and career dissatisfaction comes from doing what someone else told us would be profitable or useful rather than what speaks to our hearts. There is nothing wrong with making a living, but it is also important to do it in a way that feeds your soul. If the people in your environment are supporting a construct that does not feed your soul, that may be why you are experiencing such a desire for isolation from them. But remember, we can't expect those around us to read our minds... we have to tell them what we want and need. So when you find that out and can express it, you will certainly begin to see the wheat separate from the chaff in your personal relationships. I correlate a person reaching a point of self discovery with a person who is in recovery... many times their awareness frightens people around them, because they don't know how to cope with change. One person in a family who stops drinking can throw the whole family system on its head, for instance. But when you find what is best for you and your growth that can be accomplished in an appropriate and positive way, it will be an important lesson all around. What others do with it is up to them. You may also consider, in addition to energy work to support your system and " bring up " some issues for you, finding someone to help you with Hypnotherapy. Meditation, Yoga or Tai Chi may also be good clarifying tools for you, they can teach you important skills in flexibility, focus and breathing. You are in a wonderful place, at the prime of your life, and it is good that you are also being a seeker. Try to be patient with yourself :-) Blessings, Crow >fractalboy >Hello, > >I am interested in exploring either chakra balancing or aura (healing >touch) therapy.
