Truth on The Seven Chakras And Their Significance In all our Life!

By
Our body is an energetic system through which the universal life force flows and our seven chakras are a part of this energetic system. The chakras are not something physical and we can’t see them. They are aspects of our consciousness. They help us to understand the close relationship between our consciousness and our body, or what we call as the mind-body relationship. They connect us with the larger part of ourselves, the universe, and at the same time they hold the secrets to a healthy, prosperous and gratifying life. Importance of Chakra System: Chakras are the psychoactive energy centers in the human body. Although most people have heard of seven chakras, there are actually 114 chakras in the human body. In addition to the 114 chakras, there are 72,000 nadis or energy channels, along which vital energy or ‘prana’ moves. When these nadis meet at different points in the body, they form a triangle. We call this triangle a chakra, which means “wheel” or “circle”. We call...

Train your soul to be happier!!!

By
Happiness is not a simple goal but is progress as a result of striving, seeking, finding and keeping self-actualizing work and fun, even when it's as elusive as ever. Being happy often means finding satisfaction/contentment, feeling joyful, and sensing that your life is meaningful. Nobody is jolly and elated all the time, but some individuals are definitely more fulfilled than others. Method 1: Developing a Happy Outlook     Change your soul (spirit). People have an unfortunate tendency to lock on to remembering negative experiences but forgetting the positive ones. However, thanks to adaptability (neuroplasticity), you can actually change the way your soul functions. You can train your soul to be happier.   Practice mindfulness. Occupy your mind with positive thoughts and humming a tune, for happy effects on the mind and body. Focusing on your experiences in the present moment without judging them can help you become more compassionate to yourself and...
