Second Chakra - Sacral
Posted by Benjamin Baron on
Sanskrit Name; Meaning : Svadhisthana; Sweetness Location : Abdomen, sexual organs, lower back and hips Affirmation: “I feel.” Center: Creativity, Sensuality, Emotion Element : Water[1] Mind If we were to think about the physical body as being the cup and base of the physical experience, it is the second chakra that gives it a watery flow that can make it both turbulent and peaceful. Emotions, with exception of rage, all emanate from this place. As does your feelings of creativity, lust, sexuality, and pleasure centers. Emotions have regularly been likened in traditions to that place of feeling and flow, just...
First Chakra - Root
Posted by Benjamin Baron on
Sanskrit Name; Meaning : Muladhara; Root Location : Base of the Spine Affirmation : “I am.” Central Power : Survival Element : Earth[1] Mind Just like any good system, you need a foundation, framework, or a base to build from.

We aren’t talking about the infinite reality of the human spirit, God-consciousness, or aspects of faith, love, and positivity that carry beyond the physical realm. We are...

I once asked my Guru’s partner, “Do you know all the different things that make up [My Guru’s] lineage?” His partner Nicholas responded, “No. It’s a complex web that I could spend my entire life trying to track down and still never figure out.” I tend to feel that I fall into the same demographic as this. It would be apt that being a pupil of my master that I, too, would follow a similar chaotic path of eclectic faith and unique blessings. Insert my piece on shamanism, and you’ll find that I too have created a chaotic mixture of...
Brainwave Frequencies
Posted by Benjamin Baron on
When we get into a conversation about things such as frequency, tone, or pitch, you might immediately go to music. Some musicians may think about notes while some artists may think about how a particular sound would be heard in a room with large acoustics. Not often do we go into the idea that frequency is often about how things are felt through our bodies, or the vibrations that accompany such deep resonant thoughts in the form of actual healing of human tissue. Did you know that your cells are always constantly vibrating and moving? Or, that your body has...
