Spiritually Crafted Babies...

Let us first understand the role of Spirituality before, during and after conception. Our physical body has a soul inside it. That is the source of all life force within us. The ultimate aim of every soul is to become one with God. We incarnate on this plane to accomplish one or more tasks that would bring us closer to the divine. And, depending upon our objective/s, our soul incarnates.

Unlike science where the opposites attract; in metaphysics, or to make it simpler, in spirituality--“Like attracts like.” Tell me who doesn’t want a child who is sweet looking, intelligent, disciplined, honest, and an all rounder. If you too wish to have a child like this, please get into the spiritual mode and bring home a “Spiritually crafted baby.” Sounds interesting???

What are “Spiritually crafted babies?” I’m sure you would have heard of designer babies, where you chose the genes for a particular character to occur in your baby. For example, blue eyes, blond hair, a differently colored skin that’s different than yours, curly or straight hair, etc. But all these add to the physical appearance of your child. What I’m talking about is about designing your child spiritually so that he or she can become a responsible, peace loving, caring, and compassionate human being.

Are you game to bring in a “Spiritually crafted baby” in your life to enhance the condition of your life, and the life condition of the human race as a whole? If yes, please follow my posts, and ask questions, if you have any?

Spirituality in Conception and Pregnancy

After the discussion on chakras, I would now like to discuss something for those friends of ours who are planning to start a family. This includes those who are planning to conceive, have already conceived, and are about to deliver the baby in a few months time.

Spirituality helps one and all, irrespective of their age, gender, educational qualification, and social and economic background. Spirituality enlightens all. Therefore, I thought of starting this discussion.

When I talk of the role of spirituality in conception, pregnancy and parenting, people generally ask me a big question—how can spirituality help them in these things? But, my response to their question is—wait and watch! But trust me and my words. Try to understand what I’m trying to say. Absorb each and every word of it, assimilate, and then use your critical thinking. If it goes well with you, carry forward, if it doesn’t—forget about it.

I look forward to a great participation from all my friends.

Crown Chakra

Today, we will discuss about The Crown Chakra. This is the last major chakra of our body.

Crown Chakra, also known as Sahasrara Chakra is located at the top of the head. To be specific, visualize it at the soft part on a baby’s head.

As the name suggests, the Crown Chakra resides at the crown of our body, and balances the physical as well as spiritual activities, awareness, oneness with self and the universe, and is a gateway for higher consciousness. This Chakra is the only Chakra that faces up, that means, the Crown Chakra is the only Chakra in our body that opens up to the higher consciousness, the divine energy, the universal consciousness. This is the connection between the physical and other realms. It also brings us closer to the divine awareness, eternal knowledge and provides absolute peace within and around us.

Now visualize the body parts that are a part of this region. This Chakra affects the upper skull, Pituitary, Pineal Gland, Muscular system, skeletal system, Nervous System, circulatory system, lymphatic system, right brain, cerebral cortex, right side of our face and right eye, skin and hair. Therefore, if this Chakra is not balanced, it may manifest in the illnesses of Eyes, nose, ear, sinuses, Cerebellum, illnesses of skin such as eczema, rashes, warts, bacterial infections, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, dizziness, vertigo, frequent migraines, bone cancer, hypersensitivity to light, sound and pollutants, chronic fatigue etc. It may cause Anxiety disorder, Depression, alienation, confusion etc. Psychologically, this Chakra helps one have a clear vision and perception about one’s own self, psychic intuitions, Self-realization, self-awareness, awareness of the universe at a larger scale, parity with everyone, spirituality; and emotionally, it enhances one’s wisdom and bliss. The color of this chakra is Violet.

An under-active Crown Chakra makes one confused, obsessed with thinking, depressed, clogs mind, frustrated, comparison with others, feeling low on self-esteem. You make unwise decisions. With an overactive Crown Chakra one may get overly indulged in the spiritual practices, to an extent that he or she may neglect the physical bodily needs. The person may feel alienated, feels that he or she doesn’t belong to this plane, overly intelligent, feels disconnected from this world, disconnected from the reality of this physical world. To balance this Chakra you may consider doing the following:

·         Imagine a violet or pure white beam of light, entering your body at the Crown Chakra.

·         Imagine the beam converting into a spinning wheel. At first, imagine the wheel spinning anticlockwise. This will deplete negative energy, if any; and then spin the wheel clockwise. This will absorb positive energy from the universe.

·         Make observing silence a habit.

·         You must do meditation, guided meditations, visualization to balance this Chakra.

·         Increase your power of being aware of your surroundings.

·         Depending upon the energy of your Crown Chakra, you may reduce or enhance the use of color Violet/White on your body and in surroundings.

The Third Eye Chakra...

Today, we will discuss about The Third Eye Chakra.

Third Eye Chakra, also known as the Brow Chakra, or Ajna Chakra is located at the center of the eyebrows, exactly at the place where Indian women wear Bindi on forehead.

As the name suggests, the Third Eye Chakra holds the command of our physical as well as spiritual activities. It is said that this Chakra is the point where duality ends, and we become one with our physical and spiritual self. It also governs and makes ourselves aware of our psychic thoughts and powers.  This Chakra is the point to receive psychic information from outside sources, and have Clairvoyance.

Now visualize the body parts that are a part of this region. This Chakra affects the face, Pituitary, Pineal Gland, Parts of Skull, major parts of brain like—cerebellum, left brain, medulla oblongata, and hypothalamus, Immune System, Nervous System, and forehead. Therefore, if this Chakra is not balanced, it may manifest in the illnesses of Eyes, nose, ear, sinuses, Cerebellum, forebrain, medulla oblongata, and Autonomous nervous system.

The color of this chakra is INDIGO BLUE.

An underactive Third Eye Chakra makes one unfaithful, lack focus, lack purpose, extreme attachment to physical possessions, relationships, issues, and no connection with the Universal source, self doubt, lethargy, no inclination to learn new things, over-analytical, overindulgent, oversensitive to others, inconsiderate, rigid, closed-minded, and confused. With an overactive Third Eye Chakra one may feel difficulty in concentrating, focusing—as restlessness comes in, impatience, hallucinations, uncaring, cold, tend to belittle others, live in the fantasy world. You may even feel overwhelmed for getting loads of psychic information that you start interfering with the day-to-day life of self and others. To balance this Chakra you may consider doing the following:

·         Imagine a dark blue or Indigo beam of light, entering your body at the Third eye Chakra.

·         Imagine the blue beam converting into a spinning wheel. At first, imagine the wheel spinning anticlockwise. This will deplete negative energy, if any; and then spin the wheel clockwise. This will absorb positive energy from the universe.

·         Make chanting a habit.

·         You must do meditation, guided meditations, visualization to balance this Chakra.

·         Keep a journal handy where you can record your dreams, images that come to your mind during meditations.

The Throat Chakra

Today, we will discuss about The Throat Chakra.

Throat Chakra, also known as Vishuddha Chakra is located at the center of the collar bone, the hollow of the collar bone.

As the name suggests, the Throat Chakra is the center of all our thoughts, emotions, communication, expression, and action.  This Chakra is the radar to receive information from outside sources, assimilate and process the information. This Chakra is also responsible to generate Clairs, and also personal magnetism. Sometimes we feel attracted to a few people, or some people simply have magnetism in their personality. This magnetism comes from this Chakra.

Now visualize the body parts that are a part of this region. This Chakra affects Thyroid, parathyroid, vocal chords, jaw, neck, chin, ears, nose, mouth, hypothalamus, shoulders, lymphatic system, menstruation, and respiratory organs. Therefore, if this Chakra is not balanced, it may manifest in the illnesses of Thyroid, tonsillitis, common flu, infections, toothaches, mouth ulcers, speech disorders, swelling on vocal chords, neck, shoulder problems, premenstrual syndrome, hormonal imbalance, mood swings, attention disorders, and trouble sleeping.

An underactive Throat Chakra makes one lack in creativity, prevents one from speaking his or her mind, makes feel shy, intimidated, introverted, unable to express self with clarity of mind, makes a person resist change, slow to respond, and give in to the pressures from others. An overactive Throat Chakra makes you talk excessively, mostly gossiping, and negative talks. You may over-react to small things and situations. This may also make you stubborn, and you may cling to old traditions and disabling beliefs. This Chakra stores the information about Self knowledge that has been passed from past incarnations or previous journeys of our soul. This Chakra is the place for most of the Clairs like—Clairaudience (hearing), Clairsentience (feeling), Clairgustance (taste), Clairscence (smell), Clairempathy (feeling emotions), and Clairtangency (touch) etc.

To balance this Chakra you may consider doing the following:

·         Imagine a blue beam of light, entering your body at the Throat Chakra.

·         Imagine the blue beam converting into a spinning wheel. At first, imagine the wheel spinning anticlockwise. This will deplete negative energy, if any; and then spin the wheel clockwise. This will absorb positive energy from the universe.

·         You may consider listening to Divine Chants, and repeating Chants in mind, or even listening to some religious or spiritual music like choir, bhajans, geet etc.

·         You must do meditation to balance this Chakra.

·         This Chakra works very well with breathing exercises, nature walks, going to a sea shore, listening to the music of waves, the sound of winds etc.

·         Do not suppress your emotions.

·         You may also consider gargling with warm salted water.

·         Depending upon the energy of your Throat Chakra, you may reduce or enhance the use of color Blue on your body and in surroundings.
