Happiness is your birthright - Part 1

Happiness is your birthright.
Our bodies are gifts from God. We need them to be here. For it is in loving and appreciating our bodies that we begin the path to consciousness. Happiness is your
birthright. Opening, or balancing all your chakras is the key to that happiness. "The very purpose of our life is happiness, the very motion of our life is towards
happiness." --The Dalai Lama It's nearly impossible to balance these eight power centers perfectly to bring out their talents every day of your life. But don't worry, perfection isn't the goal. The goal is to become aware of the energy emanating from each chakra and to be able to call upon it when you need it. Let's say you're called on to make a presentation at a board meeting. You'll need to shift into the fifth chakra located at your throat to communicate your ideas clearly, and the third chakra to give your presentation the special emphasis and punch of
commitment. If an angry coworker blows up over the smallest inconvenience, don't meet
fire with fire. Try meeting her with your fourth chakra, using compassion to heal the fear
and insecurity behind her outburst.
Our bodies are like complex worlds within worlds. We know where they begin and end,
and yet they are vast and full of mysteries which we may never understand. No machine
has ever been devised by a human that is as complex or artful as our own human body.
The ancient system of chakras is a way to understand ourselves. There is an incredible
amount of subtle interaction going on all the time. I have chosen specific Kundalini Yoga exercise sequences and meditations to help you develop the human talent that lies hidden within each chakra. I suggest you choose one or two, and try them for three minutes at least. I always suggest that students begin trying any meditation for three minutes, and increase it to seven, then eleven, eventually working up to thirty-one minutes. You can see improvement by committing to doing the meditation for a longer period of time.
