Travelling Light -

Hi Folks -

How have you been?

There was a query about Chakra Tests -
There are so many sites, which one to go to?!

To begin with, any simple site that does not ask your name and password.
Next, one which also tells you how to balance the over and under-performing Chakras.

You could try - eclecticenergies.com/chakras/chakratest.php

Do the corrective meditations and take this test periodically.

Do read some other sites too, on the subject.
youtube has videos for the same, giving 4-5 minute Chakra meditations to balance them.

There would be immense benefit if you incorporated one of these in your daily morning chores.


Life is what we make of it, so if it has been hectic, leaving us a bit irritable, stepping back and watching it as it moves would help.

We may even realize that we have not been left behind.
That actually, there was another trail which led to an entirely different set of opportunities and experiences which were more fulfilling.

Or the same trail with more clarity and an easy-going joy.

Maturity usually does it - and we need to be still or quiet for a while to do that!

Wine matures in cellars, and our mind is our cellar, so we should go deep within to bring out our own uniqueness.

We are all travellers - whether one agrees with reincarnation or not, at least this much is clear that in this lifetime, we keep moving forward in the aging process!

We cannot go back and repeat a phase of life, an incident or even a moment.
So it is important how we deal with it, as we live it.

When we make travel plans, we like to think of all possible eventualities.
Which are usually negative -!

But well, one has to cover all flanks -

So we take loads of prescription, extra this, that and the other -

Just in case, you know -

And end up with way too much for comfort.

In our journey through life, we do the same with our memories.

The intention in keeping a particular nasty memory alive may seem sensible at those times.

Usually, we like to say, it is so that we do not make the same mistakes again.

So we accept that there is a lesson to learn.

But do we need to carry all the detailed memories for years and years?
With all the connected angst, betrayal, helplessness and so on?

Old memories are dead weight.
And dead weight kills spirit.

Learn the lesson, and let the incidences go.
Do a closure.

We need to lighten our burdens periodically so that we travel light.

We keep collecting experiences, new friends, make enemies, change places, partners and jobs-

Along the way, if we have not vented out, kept everything from years and years ago, our outlook begins to get adulterated by the poison seeping through into the new experiences.

Then the new has no chance of standing alone in its glory and purity.

It cannot give you the joy or challenge it has brought for us because, we react with our dogma.

Dogmas give us a feeling of safety but it is false, because it blinkers us.
It does not allow us to explore.

Supposing you were robbed while on a tour.
The lesson is to take sensible precautions and then enjoy the next one.

Supposing you had a bad relationship.
Or your relatives are not supportive.

The lesson is to go deep within yourself to focus on why you fell for such a person.
Or chose them.

They came along because they caught your signals -

Of fun, fling, dependency, control - attraction - whatever.

Identify your own needs and the cause for it.
It is not difficult when we are honest with ourselves.

One can accept to oneself that - um - okay, I think - no, I am a controlling kind of person.
I do like to be sarcastic and cynical - Why not?
It sounds so smart.

If others are hurt, its their look-out.

It is not.

Have you, do you draw weak-minded people into your circle of influence and traumatize them knowingly or unknowingly?

It is their lesson to learn to get out of your clutches, which eventually they will do.

But what about your lesson?

This is a poisonous weight you are carrying and now is the time to dissolve it.

Meditate.
Get your supply of pure energy from the universe.

When you throw away the weights of memories, when you empty your bowl, new, exciting things that you yourself had planned for yourself will start to manifest.

Empty your glass!

Trust yourself enough to know that you have wonderful experiences coming your way.

When you are out climbing mountains or trekking, the lighter you are, the higher you will reach.

When you leave this body, the same principle will apply -

The lighter you are, higher will be the realms you will attain.

So, get on with it!

Travel light - and enjoy!
