COMMUNICATE with your HEART

Since we’re shaking up the THROAT CHAKRA this month, why not do this, too?

COMMUNICATE with your HEART

This week’s Baby Step will get you singing a new tune.

THE CHAKRA

The THROAT CHAKRA sits very close to the Heart Chakra, so it’s no wonder the two can perform together in perfect harmony.

In fact, here’s a great way to shake it up... SING!

• Sing in the car as your favorite tune comes on the radio

• Sing in the shower as you suds up your bod

• Sing in the living room as you’re pushing around the vacuum

• Sing with others as you karaoke your way to a fun-filled memory

And, most importantly, sing this way. Find out how in the Baby Step below.

BABY STEP

So many times, peeps are quick to complain…loudly! But everyday heroes are often overlooked because we’ve come to take so much for granted. We can change that, though, with today’s simple Baby Step.

The next time you encounter someone doing something well (or, better yet, someone who is struggling to do something well), do this:

Sing their praises for all the world to hear!

So, this is your Baby Step assignment if you choose to accept it:

If you are impressed with someone, then say it out loud to them.

Throw kindness and compliments around like confetti. I’ve done this a billion times in a billion different ways:

• I’ve walked right up to women I did not know and told them their hair looked good.

• I’ve expressed my gratitude to teachers for the awesome (#thankless) job they do.

• I’ve thanked servers for smiling.

• I’ve told kiddos trying to figure out the mystery of long division that they have big, beautiful brains.

• I’ve said to tellers at the bank that they’re amazing at multi-tasking.

• I’ve hugged my dental assistant for always being so cheerful, which puts me at ease.

• I’ve sent emails to corporations letting them know an employee gave exceptional service.

And, even if they think you’re being a little over the top, at least you put smiles on their faces. Plus, I guarantee you will make their day :)

PS While you’re at it, sing your own praises – recognize and appreciate your gifts, your talents, your successes, your wonderful life!

CHAKRA CLEARING

I CLEAR MY THROAT CHAKRA – at the level of my HEART – because singing praises (to others and to myself) puts out a signal to the Universe that I’m pretty damn happy. And that is a most lovely way to be. And so it is :)
