Spiritual Research
Spiritual Research
After a long day of teaching Reiki this weekend, I came home and sat down in my lounge to relax and unwind. Within moments of sitting down, my left ear drum became blocked. From time to time my ears become blocked but this usually goes away within a half an hour or so but on this occasion it persisted for days. It was uncomfortable to say the least and I used some warm olive oil and contacted the doctor to find out what was wrong, in the meantime, I decided to do my own ‘spiritual research’.
I am someone who likes to use organic and holistic practices to heal myself, and this situation was no exception. We can either cure an ailment with drugs from the GP and/or we can decide to look deeper into our disease or dis-ease. Learning about ourselves and discovering what challenges us and how this can impact on our bodies creating ill-health. Learning how we can holistically combat these challenges is the way to removing dis-ease before it becomes disease and then live a healthy and balanced life.
We all have Chakras, which are energy centres within our bodies that are believed to correspond to various aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The word "chakra" is derived from Sanskrit and means "wheel" or "disk," which describes their circular and spinning nature.
According to ancient Indian spiritual traditions, there are seven main chakras that run along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head. Each chakra is associated with a specific colour, sound, and aspect of our being.
These chakras are believed to be responsible for the flow and distribution of vital energy, known as prana or life force, throughout our body. When the chakras are open, balanced, and functioning harmoniously, we experience optimal physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.
However, if a chakra becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can manifest as physical or emotional issues related to that particular chakra. For example, an imbalanced throat chakra may lead to communication difficulties, while an imbalanced heart chakra may result in issues with love and compassion.
Various practices can help balance and activate the chakras, such as meditation, yoga, energy healing, sound therapy, and working with crystals or essential oils associated with each chakra. These practices aim to remove blockages, restore energy flow, and promote overall balance and well-being.
Understanding and working with the chakras can provide a holistic approach to self-care, personal growth, and spiritual development. By aligning and balancing our chakras, we can enhance our physical vitality, emotional resilience, and spiritual awareness, leading to a more harmonious and fulfilling life.
Taking much-needed time and space to reflect is often what is needed as you seek answers to a spiritual quest. I believe it is important to look for the causes of dis-ease and then take action to balance yourself which can alleviate or eradicate symptoms altogether.
After my ears blocked, I decided to look into the spiritual significance of the blockage in my throat chakra. As the ears are a necessary part of communication and balance, I came to realise that I am either closing my ears to something or I could be doing a lot of listening and not enough talking or vice versa.
It is through self-awareness in our bodies that we can release the blockages and become symptom-free and then wellness resumes.
Sometimes it's as simple as discovering why the blockage has happened and then fixing it. However, at other times, in order to fix a blockage, we may need a period of time to reflect and accept how certain situations in our life are affecting us and then find a new way to cope with this new awareness. Maybe a blockage comes to slow us down to enable us to take some rest or to show us another direction, pathway or way to deal with a matter, which is more beneficial to us.
