Open your MIND and your HEART

The most important thing to remember when you’re feeling lost or confused or drained is this…

Open your mind AND your heart

I’ve found an easy way to do that using today’s Baby Step…with a little help from The King.

THE CHAKRA

If overwhelming circumstances interfere with your well-being, I know our 6th Chakra can help us find some peace of mind.

You see, when the THIRD EYE aligns with the HEART, we can enjoy positive effects in many areas of our lives.

For example, we can tune up…

• Imagination – for magical manifestations in our lives

• Focus – for clarity and consistency in our work/projects

• Receptivity – for openness and oneness in our relationships

And, there’s a great way I’ve found to do all three. Find out what it is in today’s Baby Step.

BABY STEP

There are times when your life is like an Elvis song and you feel like you’re

ALL SHOOK UP

I get it. I’ve lived it. I know how frustrating and seemingly endless this period can be. But I’m here to suggest that being all shook up may be a good thing, especially for your THIRD EYE CHAKRA.

In fact, my simple philosophy will apply to ALL the chakras. After all, I named this series based on this very concept…

SHAKE UP YOUR CHAKRAS

Why is this helpful even though it seems counter-intuitive to stir things up? I’m glad you asked. Here’s my theory using a paraphrased version of timeless wisdom from Einstein (the genius, not one of the bagel bros):

We cannot EVER solve our problems by thinking the same chaotic thoughts that caused the problem in the first place. Meaning, we must adjust our mindset (#third eye chakra) in order to adjust our outcome.

In other words, we need to get all shook up.

Change is not easy. But, speaking from experience, I can tell you it is well worth the effort. The hardest part of it all is consistently moving forward despite the uncertainty. But, there is one force we have unlimited access to that nothing and no one can stop.

The most powerful energy we can ever access is LOVE.

So…

• Love your brain.

• Love your current circumstances.

• Love your past.

• Love your future.

• Love your current chaos.

Love being shook up because that’s just your Third Eye Chakra reminding you that you have options. Simply be open to them.

You can shake up that Third Eye by taking this small Baby Step right now…

1. Think of ONE area of your life where you are less than thrilled with your current circumstances.

2. Throw it some love and kindness and compassion and patience and understanding (open your heart).

3. Remind yourself that it’s only temporary.

4. Then re-frame it, Elvis-style (open your mind) by repeating this every time it pops up…

I’m OK being all shook up!

Then show the Universe your best Elvis impersonation (OG or Vegas) and go about your day with a happy, open heart and a calm, open mind. And, be sure to sing along with his iconic tune HERE.
