In Eastern teachings spiritual therapy and Japa, can be used to heal emotional wounds— difficult or traumatic past experiences that have left an imprint in our psychological and emotional centers.

Japa is primarily the meditative repetition of a mantra or a divine name, a practice found in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. It may involve other practices as well, like meditative prayer with the intent to heal an emotional wound.

In Western terminology we can use meditative mantra in spiritual counseling or energy healing.

Every crisis is a turning point. We can be victims and stay stuck in a negative experience or we can learn from that experience and transform our life.

One of the most important messages of the mystics is that one is in the whole, and the whole is in one, if you take one out of the whole, the whole remains the same and the one still contains the whole.

Each one of us are one and belong the the whole of the universal consciousness. We are consciousness and consciousness is us. If one of us dies, universal consciousness remains the same and we are still universal consciousness.

Hi, everyone! I hope you are well. Do you know the connection between the chakra system in Eastern teachings and the popular Maslow’s Pyramid of Needs in modern psychology?

Here’s a short version of an earlier video of mine about the chakra system and the luminous body. Many people don’t know that the chakras or energy centers were also studied in ancient Latin America, Egypt, and China, they just called these energy centers with different names.

I hope you enjoy it!

Love and Light,
Claudia

HI, everybody! Why is the Brow Chakra the most important chakra? It’s also called Ajna Chakra or the Third Eye Chakra, the chakra that helps activate our wisdom and intuition.

In Bharat, now called India, the Yogis and Rishis developed the era of intuition before the age of intellect and reason. This readiness and ability for Self-discovery, along with long periods of intellectual and spiritual freedom, allowed for the developed of a vast system of knowledge, which created the six great schools of Eastern philosophy, and three of the most important philosophical and religious systems in the world— Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism.

We bring our childhood wounds to our relationships with the unconscious hidden agenda to heal those wounds through our partner, often inadvertently turning them into enemies instead of creating connection and expanding love.

RELATIONSHIPS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION

We bring our values and beliefs into our relationships. When relationships are in trouble, it’s helpful to explore our core beliefs. Many of our values are transferred to us from our family of origin without questioning them. Exploring your core beliefs is a great technique to understand yourself and your partner and avoid and resolve conflict.

• How did your father and mother resolve conflict?
• What did your parents teach you about relationships?
• How are your values and beliefs affecting your ability to be a good partner?
• When there’s conflict with your partner, do you try to connect or to avoid?
• What is your identity outside of a romantic relationship?
• What does healthy control mean to you?
• What makes a relationship successful for you?

Being a vegetarian, people always ask me “where do you get your protein?” They believe that it is impossible to get protein from plant-based sources. This is the result of decades of marketing by the meat industry and cultural aspects behind the social status that meat appears to bring.

A skinless, cooked chicken breast (172 grams) contains 54 grams of protein.

If you eat the following plant-based sources of protein in one day, you can get the same amount or more of protein as eating one chicken breast.

Morning: 39 grams of protein
- A milkshake with half cup oat milk (3 grams of protein), 3 spoons spirulina (12 grams of protein), and 3 spoons h**p seeds (10 grams of protein) = 25
- A whole grain toast or fruit with 1/2 cup cottage cheese (14 grams of protein)

Lunch: 16 grams of protein
-One large potato (8 grams of protein)
-1/2 cup of green peas (4 grams of protein)
-1/4 cup lentils (4 grams of protein)

Night: 33 grams of protein
-1/2 cup of hazelnuts (10 grams of protein)
-1/2 cup Greek yogurt (23 grams of protein)

Total: 39+16+33= 88 grams of protein, more than 47.5 grams of protein from a chicken breast.

Where you fix your attention and energy, that you will become. Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture to the point of not exercising your independent thinking and your intuition. Instead, pay attention to the subtle energies of your being. It will elevate you to the higher nature if you know how to recognize it and how to respond to it. Unlike the culture around you always trying to pull you down towards the lower nature, your higher self within you will give you a solid ground.

We think that the longer we live the wiser we become, but it is the elevation of our consciousness, the development of our spiritual aspect, that makes us wise.

Knowledge is accumulating information; wisdom is consciously applying the right knowledge in an effective way. Our ability to use our wisdom expands when our thoughts and behavior are informed by our spirit within which is connected with universal consciousness.

SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION

There is a spiritual dimension beyond the material facade of our existence and a process for accelerating our spiritual evolution.

The ancient rishis of india discovered this spiritual reality thousands of year ago. They compiled their intuitive experiences and set forth a process for accelerating spiritual evolution.

OUR DIVINE SOURCE

Human beings are much more than the result of random evolution. We have a divine source for we have been blessed with three aspects that are linked to our life purpose on earth:

1. Being born as a human being.

Human beings are the only species on earth that can raise their consciousness, their connection with source or creation. For this, we have the chakra system, which connects with the pranic system (breathing, life force) and nervous system.

The chakras are part of the subtle energy body, the human energy system that allows us to raise our consciousness. The chakras act as energy conductors and are vital to physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

2. Having a deep need and desire to know the highest truth.

Human beings are the only species that can look within themselves. We have the capacity to reflect, to become aware, to go within in order to reflect on situations.

3. Having the potential and capacity to know the highest truth.

When we know the highest universal truths, we gain a broader perspective in life, an understanding of our connectedness to everyone and everything, and our belonging to a greater whole. This knowledge helps us have a more relaxed and balanced outlook in life.

“Fear was given to man as a cautionary device to spare him pain. It is not meant to be cultivated and abused.”

KNOW YOURSELF

If you don’t know yourself, you can’t understand your emotions. You react to everything that comes your way without even noticing.

Understanding yourself is more than knowing your preferences or personality. In fact, focusing too much on your own preferences, on your likes and dislikes, only creates more emotional reactivity because you take things personally. When you have an identity that is too rigid and self centered, you have to defend it and that only creates more emotional turmoil, division and separation from others. Your personality is a socially -conditioned entity; it’s not the essence of who you are.

The first step to learn to manage your own emotions is to understand why you react the way you do. Spend time alone, meditate, think about things that you may be responsible for that could have contributed to feel the way you feel or to be in the situation you are in. Think about important events that happened in your childhood that shaped who you are today and how you react to situations.

Spending time alone is important. When you spend all your time with people, you don’t know who you are because people are constantly telling you who they think you are or who you should be.

Who is it that is the essence of your being?
Who is it that sees when I say “I see”?
Who is it that hears when I say “I hear”?
Who is it that speaks when I say “I speak”?
What is it that lights up the mind?
What is it that makes the mind conscious?
Who is the God who sees through my eyes and hears through my ears?
That which not even the mind can conceive of.

- Isha Upanishad

The body changes
The mind changes
The true Self never changes
This is what it means to be centered in the true Self

We have been socially conditioned to believe that aging is a problem. A new need has been created producing billions of dollars to industries that exploit the human ego. In reality, aging is a natural process that should be honored and celebrated.

The focus should be not on anti-aging but on aging without mental suffering. The process of aging helps awaken our spiritual dimension, it should be one of the most important processes in our lives. Perhaps our last chance for liberation.

“The multiplicity is only apparent. In truth, there’s only one mind.”
Erwin Schrodinger, Nobel Pfize winning physicist (1887 – 1961)

The Upanishads in India explained this concept thousands of years earlier.

THE SPIRITUAL LEGACY OF INDIA

Two of the main differences between Western thought and Eastern thought are the concepts of knowledge and time.

In the West knowledge tends to be an accumulation of information, sometimes memorization, by using cognitive abilities, reason, the five senses. In India there’s also this cumulative knowledge but it’s not as important as a deeper knowledge (paravidya) or Higher Knowledge— the knowledge that comes through Supreme Consciousness, which has no beginning and no end. Infinite knowledge enters the human spirit or psyche and we can access this supreme knowledge through meditation, if our karma allows.

In Indian thought, time is not so much linear but cyclical. When life is not measured in linear time, there’s no beginning and no end. There are cosmic cycles. Higher Knowledge is eternal and this knowledge can merge with the human spirit.
