Have you ever felt confused and not sure of what you wanted out of life? How are you suppose to know, especially is you aren't listening to your heart? What do you do if you don't know how to listen? With all the stress and busyness of modern life, we as humans have disconnected from what life is really about. Many of us have failed to see and experience the importance of a mind, body and soul connection, while ignoring a valuable organ. Thus, many of us have lost our way on the journey of life.
Throughout our life time, many paths will present themselves from adolescence to adulthood. As I turn 24, I've realize my journey of connecting my mind and body has just begun. This blog is a way to share my story of learning to listen and connect to my heart, while increasing my sensitivity to the energy around me.
Moving to San Francisco was a beginning of a life long adventure. It has had some hard times along the way, from living in Tenderloin without a door knob to working 7 days a week. I'm grateful for all of these times, because they brought me to this door. I moved to San Francisco for school and love. As I attended school, San Francisco State University for a major in Psychology, I became aware that the path I was going down wasn't the right one for me. Yes, the mind is very fascinating, but it shouldn't control the body. They work with each other in balance.
After realizing my unhappiness, I needed a change. On a whim or intuition, I signed up for massage school. This 8/9 month program created an awakening in me that I had shied away from. I started the program on some hard terms, tired and hung over; yet, I finished the program wide awake and with lots of rewards. I entered the program in the eastern segment, which was the prefect path for me. I learned a lot of about the energy flow of the human body, along with a taste of the chakra system. I fell in love with the eastern ideologies.
Most mornings at school, we would meditate before lecture, which I grew quite fond of. I found myself needing more of it. I really wanted that time to be in my mind to either work things out or just to find the silence and peace that seems to be missing in most of us. During one of our guided meditation, we were asked to visualize our bodies and see or feel whatever came up. I visualized what appear to me to be my chakras. In this visualization, I came to find that I was having a blockage of sorts and that some of my chakras weren't generating much energy or light. My fourth and fifth chakra were the most problematic; heart and throat. It was also manifesting in my physical body as well, through my posture and sound of my voice. I also noticed the difference in how I began to interact with others. Also I was having difficulties in those areas, communication and love.
From this visualization I realized I had some work to do. So I began getting informed about the chakra system and how to balance them. Then I stumble on Kundalini while reading the Wheels of Life by Anodea Judith. I begun to want to know how to awaken the Kundalini, Shaktipat. I felt like I have been going through a lot of changes. I started looking up symptoms of the Kundalini way and they resented with me. This intrigued me very much. I wanted to get more in touch. I felt by getting in touch with these things, I would become more in touch with myself, body and mind. I started implicating in my life many things that help awaken the Kundalini.
At the current moment I'm trying to find things that I find enjoyable and feel right to my spirit, in hopes to improve my chakras and completely connect with myself, as to reach my great potential or whatever it is we are searching for. I truly believe my mind and body will change throughout this whole process. I'm interested in seeing how things all play out. So far I have been feeling better then I have in a while. Looking forward to sharing the many ways I am implicating change in my life and to radiate that change outwardly. Here's to listening to the heart, finding truth and spreading the light!!
