Getting things ready for tomorrows Day of Healing

07/07/2025

We have written in the past that learning to bake will help us understand our yoga practices. When it comes to understanding chakras, we can learn more from not looking at them or trying to influence them. If we are trying to open the apertures, we are barking up the wrong tree. In the West yoga does not work the same as in the East. If we believe that a few poses or stretches can change our karma we are very much mistaken.

Karma, now this is an interesting aspect. If we are not particularly nice, can a few stretches open the heart, can a few stretches change how we speak to people? This is an individual question. If this was the case, there would never be any gossip or misrepresentation of others in our yoga studies. Think about it.

How does this tie into making sourdough? We shall explain. Sometimes to understand something we need to look at it a different way. Before we do, we will digress for a moment. There are many worthy people to listen to who help us look at things in a different way. A positive way, I like Sadhguru. He tells a very interesting story about karma; he explains that good people always have karma. If they didn’t, they would just float away! We will come back to this.

Chakras 7-Spiritual sourdough

There is also Alan Watts another interesting person to listen to. Alan tells the story of a person going to find a guru, and when they do find him and they find out that he smokes, they were shocked. Then they find our he has a girlfriend! Shocking we know! Lol. Alan explains about this being considered salty and gives the guru better flavour. A little bit of salt isn’t bad!

Why are we sharing these stories, because these stories will help us shine or reflect. They can open the mind to a new way of thinking, just like understanding sourdough. They can open our minds to the God consciousness within, the life within.

Lights, camera, action: Whenever we finish one article, there is always so much we can say. More understandings are given with many ways to connect one article to another. We do suggest that our readers refresh their minds on the strengthening of the heart series in the Pilates section and reread Greg’s article, “The Crystal Seed”. We would also suggest taking a quick gander at the “yoga of Christmas”, we will leave links below.

Yoga does not work in the West as it does in the East. We cannot say it any clearer than that. For us in the West, trying to do a pose to open an energy centre isn’t going to work. Let’s be honest with ourselves, a yoga class in the west is not about connecting to God. We use yoga for the health benefits, these health benefits are a bi product of connecting to the God within.

This is the same with our “self-healing group”, that we run. Healing is one of the beautiful experiences of something much more profound. As we keep sharing, our souls have evolved and with this evolvement, the method of instruction. If we are born in the West looking to the Eastern philosophies will not bare the fruit that we want. Even if we are prepared to go East, live the life and follow instruction we may still not find what we want.

Yoga set the path to find instruction from within, hope and guidance came from the teacher (he was blue, or maybe violet in colour-hint hint). When this teacher left the physical world, he returned to spirit. Namaste. There is so much we can write at this point and many different articles will probably need to be written. This now leads us nicely into today’s discourse.
In 2022 we introduced an article named Krishna’s flute. It is now time to expand on that lesson to help understand why poses no longer open and close chakras for us in the West. Krishna was and still is a beautiful soul. He carried the light within at a time of spiritual darkness and began reteaching how to connect to the spirit within. Only through Krishna, the external teacher did the human form and spirit begin to have unity or yoga. This is the whole purpose of our practice.…

Studying, Reiki Rach’s Study Guide (Written During a Panic Break)

Studying Reiki Rach’s:Let’s be honest — studying is just a long, slow battle between your brain and every single thing that’s more interesting than your notes. Which, unfortunately for me, includes the dust on the windowsill, walking the dog, and the sudden urge to alphabetise the spice cabinet.

As you probably know, I have been studying for the past year or so, and the deadline is creeping up FAST! Hence the lack of articles, but here we are with a breakdown….(You can make your own mind up as to what type) of life over the past few months. Let us know if you can relate.

1. The Setting The Scene Phase: Where I spend 45 minutes creating the perfect study environment, which includes lighting a candle, choosing a chill playlist, and arranging pens in a colour gradient. 🙈

2. The “Just One More Snack” Phase: Because how can you focus if you’re slightly hungry? Or if you might be hungry soon? Better raid the kitchen just in case and clean the worktops while I’m there.

3. The Existential Phase: After reading the same sentence 12 times and still not having the foggiest of what’s being asked of me, I start to question my life choices.

4. The Panic-Powered Productivity Burst: At T-minus 6 hours before the exam, something clicks and I suddenly become a machine. This lasts all of 37 minutes. 🤪

5. The Denial Phase: You convince yourself that if you sleep with your book under your pillow, some sort of learning osmosis will occur. Science hasn’t proven it works, but it hasn’t not worked either.

My conclusion, studying is a journey — mostly uphill, occasionally sideways, often accompanied by snacks and small breakdowns. But has it all be worth it? Well we will find out very soon. 🤣

But on a slightly more serious note, hard things are what help us to grow and move forward. This course I have been doing I never imagined it would have sent me on this journey of self-discovery. I simply thought I’d get it done and have another qualification. But no I have learnt so much not only about the topic I’m studying but also about myself.

Thank you Concordia: As many of our readers know we are very lucky to have John as part of our team. He is a physical healer and helps many with aches pains, lumps and bumps to name a few. Many will not be aware of how much help we are given by Rob the owner of the clinic. Many times we have reached out to him to help find treatments that may be useful to those who are injured, suffering or going through illness or medical emergency.

Rob is a practitioner and teacher of “Tui Na” which can be considered Chinese physiotherapy. Helping Rob, and now also a teacher is his former student James. We have pointed many in both there directions and they have helped many. This being said, Rob offered LifeBalance some places on their clinic day for those that may need treatment or medical massage on any injuries.

Thank You Concordia.

The clinic day is where all their international students gather and practice their training but more importantly give free treatment to those who need it. We were very lucky to be given some places to help those with injuries (which we quickly filled). Those that we sent would like to say thank you to the team for the treatment and the help they gave.

We already have some names for the next clinic day. So very simply from us. THANK YOU CONCORDIA.
The title picture shows Rob and James, the international students and patients from the Charity: An hour for Others, we will leave a link below to see all the good work that the charity does.

The Crystal Seed: Editors note. This is one of those articles that can link many things. This article is as important to the yoga practitioner as to those in psychic development. This being said those with the eyes to see it, will understand the connection between the light within, our own hearts and how to really understand our own chakras. Lifebalance has written many articles on the LIGHT, Isaac Newton and the laws of light.

This piece from Greg allows us to explain in further detail and introduce new thought. As always we will leave our readers with something to think about. The crystal seed, ties nicely into chakras, double rainbows and 3 coloured rainbows. For those who are in spiritual development may find a “lick of love” as we say. We will leave some links at the bottom for the readers to consider and REFECT, in fact lets say, ILLUMINATE. We will explain more in our next article on chakras!

The Crystal Seed: is within all of us. It forms at the start of life and develops or wanes depending upon how we nurture it. Think of the light shining through a stain glass window it bursts into various shards of light and yet stems from one source , all connected and yet held by one powerful singular point of light.

In our world today there is much disinformation. We see truth being rubbished and untruths be peddled as truth. We can find harmful information portrayed as correct which can influence emotions and responses, not always in a positive way! This is the same for esoteric knowledge. Some leads us in the wrong direction from what we want.

One thing we have always said is that we do not talk about chakras. Although it may seem we are talking about them, we do not speak about the energy centres. We do talk about the effects and dangers. Very simply trying to mess with a chakra directly will cause the person pain in some shape (there is that word again-shape) or form or should we say pose or thought!

The net is full of people trying to influence others. Question is, why? What do they want, what are they trying to sell. In some cases we need to ask who is paying them, who do they work for?

We cannot sell God or spiritual experiences

Chakras are one of those subjects where the general understanding becomes the so-called truth. In many cases, lack of understanding, teaching and knowing the individuality of the student can walk us into problems. We have always stated that we will not give any information that may lead to pain. A little bit of knowledge can be painful when applied the wrong way. It is not the fault of the chakra, it’s the lessons that go around them!

Since our article on chakras and rainbows we have seen a lot of questions and videos with similar queries. We have also seen videos asking why indigo is missing on certain rainbows. However, this being said, if we go back to periods before the renaissance we will see painting of rainbows with only 3 colours. There are reasons be it scientific, spiritual or artistic. (This we will discuss in a separate article).

Rember art can stimulate an emotional response!

Art can convey a feeling just like a yoga pose.

In life we find moments where answers can be difficult to find and for some often ending with a feeling of failure .
***
Think of a flow of water ahead of it is a large rock or boulder, the water is momentarily stopped until it learns to find a way around it. Once it has it learned to flow around the object it is soon on its way again following its desired path .
***
Although the obstacle is heavy and dark the water is clear and bright. Not all problems can find a solution straight away but that is not to say with time, determination and clear thinking obstacles cannot be removed from our path.
***
Not everyone can face all obstacles in life on their own. This is why it’s important to open up and realise we do not have to struggle on banging our individual heads in an attempt to solve our issues /problems .
***
The volume of water has the weight of itself pushing up and around the rock in order to move onwards. It eventually learns new ways to overcome the obstacles in its way by flowing around it.
***
Aesop’s fables about the crow and the pitcher comes to mind.

***
During a particular spell of dry weather, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water in it. But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, the Crow could not reach the water after numerous attempts to quench its thirst.
***
Then an idea came to it. Picking up some small pebbles, it dropped them into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble the water rose a little higher until at last it was near enough so it could drink the water.
***
As you can see from the crow above perseverance can and will win the day. Although in this scenario the solution was individually found working with others can bare much fruit also. We just have to be willing to stop struggling on our own and ask for help from those around us.

Conflict and Peace: To know peace we have to understand war. Be that actual war or the personal battles we go through at times. For through the conflict of war we can understand our differences and importantly resolve issues with ourselves or those with others
***
The mind can be peaceful and full of conflict in equal measure depending upon outward influences and situations life throws our way. Understanding how and why this may be happening allows us to clear our thoughts and reset our energy levels once more.
***
The Art of War is an ancient Chinese book dating from the 5th century BC . The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills or art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics.
***
There is no reason why we cannot reverse engineer this method of thinking and create our own system for internal and external peace.
***
Edward De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats is a fine example of breaking down a problem into compartments in order to find an amenable solution that all will find comfortable with.(Conflict Resolution)
***
It can be easy to allow an issue a problem to fester and with time those feelings or problems become worse or more intense, especially through long-term neglect or total indifference.
***
Without a willingness to make peace either with yourself or others then the turmoil and possible suffering will go unchecked and unresolved. We should always seek resolution for only with the desire to make things better will we learn to move forward in life.
***
It is understandable that we may not always feel in the right frame of mind or be strong enough to deal with an issue/problem directly ourselves. This is why it is important to seek help and guidance from others.
***
Talking about our problems can help us process them and experience a sense of release, which can be especially helpful during difficult times.
***
To know war/conflict is the first step to finding peace. For realising the issue/problem directly ourselves takes us on a path to future peace and harmony.
