Connecting Your Heart to Your Hands

When people think of the chakras in the body, they typically envision seven. However, there are many more than the seven major ones associated with the endocrine system.

Two important ones for bodyworkers are the ones in the palms of the hands. Although smaller than the major seven, these are very important for two reasons:

First, they work to create trust and connection. They receive and transmit healing electromagnetic energy directly from the universe and therefore vibrate at a very high frequency. Because you can easily open and close these chakras, they are seen to deal with control issues, and how we allow (or don’t allow) opportunities and others to come into our life.

Secondly, the hand chakras are intimately connected to the heart chakra. This allows healing loving energy to be transmitted between you and your clients during your hands-on sessions.

Activate Your Hand Chakras

Here’s a simple way to open the hand chakras and connect with the heart chakra. This is a great way to open your reflexology sessions.

Vigorously rub the palms of your hands together for a few seconds and then allow your arms to hang freely at the sides of your body. Take a few seconds to notice the warmth in the palms of your hands and to feel the flow of energy moving from your heart to your hand chakras.

Give thanks, and begin.

33 Ways To Reduce Stress And Be Good To Yourself

 

It’s quite obvious when I say the stress-level has reached an all-time high right now. There are certainly many good reasons to be concerned and feel the need to take action. I won’t argue with that, and at the same time, I want to remind all of us of the importance to be kind to others and to be good to ourselves. Here are some ways to take care of yourself:

  1. Get up 15 minutes earlier.
  2. Prepare for the morning the night before.
  3. Avoid relying on chemical aids to get through your day.
  4. Look at problems as challenges. Look at challenges differently.
  5. Practice breathing s l o w l y.
  6. Eat dinner by candlelight.
  7. Play every day. Dance. Laugh. Goof off.
  8. Do everything in moderation.
  9. Strive for excellence, not perfection.
  10. Stand up and stretch throughout the day.
  11. Know your limitations and boundaries. Let others know.
  12. Get regular reflexology, massage and acupuncture. They are necessities, not luxuries.
  13. Smile!
  14. Walk around when talking on the phone.
  15. Remember you always have options and choices.
  16. Quit trying to “fix” other people.
  17. Get enough sleep.
  18. Cultivate a network of people who support you. Make time for these people in your life.
  19. Talk less; listen more.
  20. Express gratitude daily.
  21. Pay it forward.
  22. Simplify your life.
  23. Do what’s most important FIRST.
  24. Pet a dog or cat
  25. STOP saying negative things to yourself!
  26. CHOOSE happiness.
  27. Look up at the stars.
  28. Start the day with meditation, stretching and exercise. You’ll feel and think better.
  29. Buy yourself flowers.
  30. Take different routes when driving to routine places.
  31. Watch a movie and eat popcorn.
  32. Eat breakfast.
  33. Relax. Take each day as it comes…. YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO LIVE!
