What do you see in this picture?

It's me, having the best time of my life after coming from having a well let's just say... not so uplifting day...

See that thing in my hands? I have a rainbow 'wrap around' that I carry with me a lot, especially when I am visiting the beach. I use it as a cover up and tanning bed all in one! Here, I am swinging it around like a flag, dancing together with it in the wind, feeling the spirit of the sun and letting the experience energize my soul!

What does that have to do with helping you, you ask?

Well, the rainbow is correlated to the energy associated with those colors, much the same way as the colorchallenge itself. It has energetic healing powers from the different hues.

Do you know what those rainbow colors are associated with?

They are called chakras... we each have 7, each with its own designated color and chakra balancing is an incredible way to help you balance your life.

RED: Root chakra (base of spine)
ORANGE Sacral chakra (below navel)
YELLOW Solar Plexus chakra (stomach)
GREEN Heart chakra (heart)
BLUE Throat chakra (throat)
INDIGO Third Eye chakra (forehead, just above the nose, between the eyes)
VIOLET/PURPLECrown chakra (top of head)

Most of us are out of balance or caught in buried emotions that collect, stir and sit beneath the surface, sitting idly, waiting for an opportunity to arise.

If we work on ourselves, our internal conflicts included, we can experience something incredible- JOY!

See this girl here in the photo? She's happily experiencing love and joy despite the opportunity to be negative.

• How many of us spend the days thinking of all that went wrong?

• What if we were to change that into what went right, what we were thankful for?

Every day, I find myself feeling at some point discouraged, overburdened, frustrated and forgotten... but if I let myself give into those emotions, I only amplify the effects!

So, I wanted to try something here with you all today. I listen to guided meditations on youtube... I don't have my own compilation but I have searched for you videos in which you can scroll through and pick one that calls your name to try. This is an example of a practice you could try to center yourself today and find greater bliss within. Here is the link!

Would you want to try it with me?

A while back, I wrote a post about meditation, you can see that here I have experienced profound health benefits from just remembering to give myself time and space for this even just a couple of times a week.

When we find healing in this way, what we want and what we dream of has a way of opening itself up to us in ways we are unable to see prior.

I encourage anyone reading this to comment what they want in life, put it out there, make it real, take ownership for what you want and let's try to make that happen for you.

If this seems too 'new-age, hippy-dippy' for you, don't worry, I understand... I used to think that too.

But look at that girl in the photo... that's the kind of effects we can get from this practice and I would be delighted to take you along on that journey with me, if you're willing to come along!

This could have been a novel but I started out with this as an introductory post to a subject that's dear to my heart... and as such, my heart was eager to share this with you as I was about to start my own practice and heard heart saying, "you all should be able to experience this too!"

I hope you'll open your hearts and spirits to this exercise, please let me know if I can help or if you'd like to learn more, I would be ecstatic to get into this deeper with you!

Sending you love from my heart to yours on this Yellow Wednesday we are experiencing! Thanks to @kalemandra for drawing attention to the colors of our chakras and paying them respect each day!

Happy meditating! Remember to focus on your breath and center your mind on the inhale and exhale, hearing the words taking you on the journey to set you free... if your attention drifts, don't worry, just let your thoughts go and come back to your breath, your breath is your compass which will always lead you back on your way to where you need to go!

XO,
