Once the seven chakras have been purified ~ where 51% of our divine spiritual energy is able to flow through our system ~ the divine energy from the kundalini will rise, breaking the seven seals that have been placed over our seven chakras that have kept us veiled and bound by the duality of the 3rd dimension. Once the veils of amnesia/blocks are removed our higher/spiritual chakras will be activated, and we will continue to open and expand our being based on our commitment and level of dedication to our "spiritual practice". There are many, many chakras beyond the 7 ~ but it is the 7 primary chakras that are the rainbow bridge that connect our physical body to our Divine Spirit.

The best way to open and purify the seven chakras is through:

1. HEALING THE SHADOW AND EGO CONSCIOUSNESS

2. Meditation and Visualization

3. Energy work such as Pranic Healing, Reiki, DNA Theta, Cranial Sacral or any other energetic modality

4. Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi or any kind of exercise will increase energy circulation through our chakra system and break up old stagnant blocks.

5. Allowing yourself to process through your emotions and feelings by "FEELING" them. Stored unprocessed feelings create blocks in the chakras that block the flow of divine energy.

6. Practicing Self Love and Oneness

7. Living an AUTHENTIC life.

8. Speaking Our Truth with words of LOVE.

9. Expressing Gratitude.

10. Channeling Creative Energies through art, dance, cooking, writing, singing etc....

11. Energy activations such as a Reiki Attunement, Deeksha, DNA Activation etc.....

I have read several teachings where people are saying ~ if you do not focus on your higher chakras, those above the seven ~ you will be limited and holding yourself back. However, from my perspective, the only way you could hold yourself back is if you don't do any spiritual work at all, and you choose to keep your self stuck in shadow and ego consciousness. In addition, the higher spiritual chakras simply will not open until the lower seven have been purified. Each chakra is a doorway or portal into higher consciousness and once they are understood, opened and cleared we move into a state of wholeness bringing our Spirit down into matter. Once this occurs, then we can focus on the higher ones and our spiritual self will continue to open and expand those that we are ready to have activated ~ based on our level of vibration.

If we get over zealous in our spiritual practice thinking we can skip over the building blocks of our spiritual expansion we may run into problems. It is kind of like a baby learning how to walk. First we must build up our muscles to lift ourselves up, then we begin to crawl, then we begin to walk and then we begin to run! We don't just come out of the womb ready to run....there are prerequisites and stages to our development and we want our spiritual expansion to be safe and GROUNDED. Too much too soon can be overwhelming.

During meditations and visualizations, AFTER you have spent time with the intention to clear your 7 chakras, you can connect with your HEART and CROWN space directly above your head. Send love to these areas and know that you are deeply loved and fully supported. The raising of divine spiritual energy from the root chakra ~ all the way up the spine ~ to the crown chakra requires PATIENCE, TRUST, FAITH and SELF PURIFICATION. Divine energy will rise at exactly the right time for each soul's journey. Your focused attention on meditation and the clearing of your chakras/energy fields, as well as, your desire to live a life of "good will" will activate your dormant kundalini energy to rise when your system has been adequately prepared. Please do not force the process.

Aftermath

A personal head canon of mine - when Kagome lets loose a huge amount of reiki through an arrow attack during an intense battle, it drains her both physically and mentally. Afterwards, when her adrenaline levels have settled, she feels wobbly and faint, her heart rate is erratic and she feels exhausted and achey.

Luckily she has a super protective dog boy who doesn't mind being a pillow while she recovers for an hour or two. At some point, I'll finish writing the one-shot that goes with this art.

omfg i really hope u finished sk8 the infinity bc that is the most fun, colourful, draindead show I have ever watched and I would sell my soul to the devil for a s2 to come faster.

but like, who’s ur favourite character? langa will always be dear to my heart bc of just how dense he is sometimes. like he genuinely cannot comprehend most things that happen around him and that just adds to his charm.

also am i the only one who was super fucking weirded out by the way adam interacted with the kids?? the dub is just so much more creepy than the sub and he’s just so much worse around these children- the way he speaks to miya, the nicknames he gives reki and the way he behaves with poor sweet langa is so uncomfy to watch???

I finished it and I LOVED it.

Langa’s my favorite character for much of the same reason. Oh my god he’s so dense and so good. My beautiful boy. All he knows is Board and Love Reiki. He’s so chill. He was just like “I have Never Skateboarded in my Life. The first try should be on this Death Mountain in an event with explosives involved. I will destroy the competition.” I simply adore him. I think we should just keep putting him on different types of boards to see if he can qualify on an Olympic level in them within the span of months. Surfboard. Wakeboard. Other types of board. He is so beautiful and so good.

Oh Adam is so uncomfortable to watch during this, especially his entire thing with langa. He’s always giving him roses and touching him and calling him his Eve. He has an entire wall filled with video footage of him. He had cameras following him when he wasn’t even at S. He openly calls Reiki the third wheel as if Langa doesn’t go into immediate depression if his boyfriend is not there to watch him skate. If the post-credits montage is accurate, then he parachuted from the sky with a bouquet of roses when Langa turned 18. Like this is fully stalking and deeply upsetting please go away.

#sk8 the infinity #this show is so so good #and Adam needs to have a restraining order be brought against him #sir leave that gay teenager alone #I cannot wait for season 2 #every interaction with the kids is fully inappropriate but langa he’s like. targetting. #he won’t stop touching him #he keeps giving him gifts and calling it a courtship #he has /cameras following him at all time/ #he thinks of langa’s extremely homoerotic best friend as the third wheel and keeps trying to hospitalize him about that #like. he sent him a letter addressed to the third wheel. like man. langa does not like you. #if I had joes upper body strength I would have punched that man already

PAC: What’s Blocking You from Loving Yourself? 💕 *⚠️: There’s a trigger warning in this reading so be aware of this if you are ready to read this.*

Choose a Number: 1, 2, or 3

Choose a pile and see what is blocking you from loving yourself fully. Take what resonates; leave what doesn’t… 😊

1 - You may have a scarcity mindset - can be about finances, but also your inner worth and value. You may be comparing yourself to others who might have it all together, and Spirit want you to be yourself fully. Don’t let your eyes deceive you. If you feel that your finances are not working out, take a re-route and find a solution that will help you in the long run. Also, be aware of how you are handling your money - watch out for excess spending and other people who may be around you for only monetary gain and not for love. Pay attention to a few days or weeks - something significant will happen. 💰

2 - I have 2 messages here! One - you may still be holding on to any kind of abuse or trauma from your past (particularly sexual abuse). Two - You have to be careful with being around partners who only want you for sex. They could be abusive and narcissistic and you have to take care of yourself. Know that you will be able to overcome this if you are willing to take that step. Try to find connections, whether if it is sexual or romantic, that are mutually compatible and beneficial for your overall health. ❤️‍🔥

3 - Spirit wants you to be patient and wait until the time is right. You have this anxiety and fear that love will never come towards you. You could have this jealous energy of seeing people who might have someone. You keep doing this will make your manifestation coming in slowly or delayed. Spirit wants to not focus on your love life right now and just relax. Go out and have some fun like going on a vacation or taking care of yourself in general. Everything will happen at the right place at the right time. ⏳

Let me know which pile you chose and if it resonates.

It happened to run into a post of yours about the 5D ascension symptoms and no I'm not here to support that, but I have to say that it is actually possible for certain symptoms to be related to etheric, energetic, metaphysical changes. I had a 1st level reiki attunement, nothing happened during the attunement to me but after a day or 2 I have to say I felt a bit odd, as if I had a cold , but I was actually fully capable of doing everyday tasks , no runny nose, fever , coughing nothing. Everything stopped out of a sudden same as it started.

It's unlikely for every individual on the planet to feel any " symptom" because your , whatever you want to call it, energy body , etheric, astral whether body , needs a big and huge amount of energy to change in some way. I don't believe in these " downloads " and I find this beliefs harmful because someone can dismiss important health issues by thinking they are evolving spiritualy ( but they didn't do anythingat all ), yet I believe your energy, if affected in a positive way can create some " new sensations " in the body.

You can go on and disagree with me or hate me for supporting something that resembles new age beliefs. I know what happened to me, the reiki master assured me I'm ok, and I even went to the doctor, had a covid test only to be told I'm paranoid because absolutely everything is fine with me.

Okay, so.

First of all, there is no way to be sure of whether your symptoms had anything to do with your reiki attunement a couple of days prior. Correlation is not causation. Without proper control and monitoring, there's no way of knowing whether it was the reiki attunement, or whether it was something else - perhaps a mild delayed allergic reaction to something like incense or hand lotion, for example.

Secondly, there is no evidence that spiritual energy actually exists in the particular ways New Agers tend to describe it. It's one thing use words like "energy" or "vibe" in a kind of non-literal sense while also acknowledging that you genuinely don't actually know for sure the nature of what you're working with. It's another thing to insist they are literally electromagnetic energies without doing anything to scientifically demonstrate this.

Third, you say that New Agers who think they're "downloading" DNA upgrades aren't actually doing anything, but this isn't always true. Yes, there are the ones who believe that they don't have anything because solar flares or Schumann resonances or whatever will automatically "upgrade" them, but many New Agers practice meditation and "connecting to source energy." In New Age beliefs, source energy is basically the highest and most powerful form of energy there is. The thing here is, people have been "connecting to source energy" for years and experiencing these so-called "ascension symptoms," but not a single person has ever ascended to 5D.

Healing is About Reconnecting with One's Inner Child

I’ve made a lot of changes in my life recently. After spending most of my life in Europe, I currently reside in Portland, Oregon. I also am in the process of getting consecutive levels of Reiki certification, to improve my healing gifts.

During this part of my journey, I’m taking my time focusing on my own energetic self awareness. This process enables me to ground and reconnect to myself when I feel like I’ve lost myself in the wave of giving my energy over for the sake of healing others. Self care is imperative in healing practice for others.

The most illuminating part of my Reiki training has been realizing how much healing people comes from bringing them back to a childlike state of vulnerability. Ironically enough, that’s exactly what invites transformation in, as most adults are calcified and solidified in their traumatized state. The subject needs to be brought back to a vulnerable spot, which then becomes the access point to open their energy. Then, from the position of a healer we can responsibly manipulate it, also coming ourselves from a fragile point of innocence and purity. All healing practices must gently address this child self to take root in the subconscious and be effective.

one of the silly things in bg3 is that i have 7 levels in cleric and 1 in druid and yet every once in a while my pc will make comments in the cursed shadowlands like “im here to purge the vile blight inflicted upon this land and return it to its natural state” like girl you are a mormon who took a reiki class ONCE you are not the authority on nature.

#bg3 #i needed to be able to get small and hit more melee and in the meantime you learned about mushrooms you can eat

I'm revamping my post on reiki, chakra's and what we can work with regarding energy centres and how they are not equal to chakras. I completed this post at my first Reiki level years ago in my teens.

However, I'm actually redoing all of my levels currently with a much more informed and not culturally appropriate teacher who gently explained the difference and nuance between them. Stay tuned for a much more informed and hopefully helpful post! I'm leaving up my old one currently with a revamp warning on it : )

It is believed by many Eastern Cultures that we have life force energy, or “chi” (also known as prana, qi, ki) that runs through us and everything in our world. This idea is not so far fetched when we can see the amazing vibratory nature of our cells through a microscope (which vibrate at an even deeper level when we get down to our molecules and atoms). It is from this perspective that we are able to see the #energetic force that creates our bodies, and ultimately our physical world.

The word Chakra is #Sanskrit and means “wheel” or “turning”. It is thought by the #Buddhists and in the Hindi tradition (in Yoga) that the human body has upwards of 72,000 (or more) #nadis or lines of energy that flow through us and exit at certain points through-out our body. It is believed that the flow of this energy keeps #balance within us, and that each meridian is resposible for a specific function of the body. In this belief, there are seven major energy centers, that govern the well-being our major glands, and are responsible for our emotional, physical, #mental spiritual well-being.

If one of these Chakras are out of balance, either by too much, or too little, it will manifest in our #physical world as dis-ease.

There are many ways to heal the Chakras, including Reiki Chakra Balancing, but here we will focus on what crystals, colours, and sounds are known to help balance each individual chakra. Please click on a specific Chakra for detailed information on each and how you can begin to bring balance to each, healing your life.

Mudladhara – 1st or Root Chakra (Muladhara, Mooladhara)

Svadhisthana– 2nd or Sacral Chakra

Manipura – 3rd or Solar Plexus Chakra

Anahata – 4th or Heart Chakra

Visuddha – 5th or Throat Chakra

Ajna – 6th or Third Eye Chakra

THINGS / ASKS / HC / THREADS / MUSINGS / WIKI

BASICS

Name: Takuma Ino

Nickname(s): TBA

Age: 21

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 190 lbs

Species: Human

Sex and pronouns: Male, he/him

Birthday: November 27th (Sagittarius)

Orientation: Bisexual (femme preference)

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Ino is a young man of average height with disheveled brown hair usually kept under his signature ski-mask rolled up into a beanie-type hat. Hidden by his hair, Ino has a scar going across the left side of his forehead. He wears a wide-collared black sweatshirt and matching black pants tucked into his high-topped sneakers.

PERSONALITY

Takuma Ino is a genuine and cheerful person with a more positive outlook on things than most jujutsu sorcerers. He doesn't believe he's the smartest person around and has a lot of respect for Nanami. Whenever Ino finds himself in a tough situation, he asks himself what would Nanami do.

Ino believes it's important to proceed through life doing things the right way, especially with dirty work like being a jujutsu sorcerer. This is a large part of Ino's honor code, so much so that he refuses to advance to grade 1 without Nanami's approval.

Ino is very young for a sorcerer and gives off a little brother type of vibe, so everyone tends to help him out. When he's around people younger than himself, he has a tendency to show off his jujutsu knowledge and maturity.

When it was time for Ino to step up and lead on Nanami's behalf, he was honored to have someone else rely on him. He took looking after Yuji and Megumi seriously and embraced the leadership role wholeheartedly. In spite of the risk, Ino's positive attitude and optimism helped hype up his team in anticipation for their dangerous mission to rescue Satoru Gojo.

ABILITIES AND POWERS

Overall Skill: Ino is a grade 2 jujutsu sorcerer but his rank does not reflect his true skill level. According to Nanami, Ino could easily become a semi-grade 1 sorcerer if he chose to. He is an exceptional combatant with a very potent cursed technique.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Ino outclassed an average level curse user in close combat with no issues. However, he caught on to his opponent's plan too late, allowing Granny Ogami to outmaneuver him and activate her Séance Technique. After her grandson shapeshifted into Toji Fushiguro, Ino proved no match in terms of physical prowess.

High Cursed Energy: As a professional sorcerer, Ino possesses high cursed energy levels and has been trained to manipulate his power efficiently. When activating his innate technique, Ino's entire body is coated in surging cursed energy. He can use cursed energy to reinforce his body for close combat at the same time as his technique. Additionally, Ino is capable of sensing other individual's cursed energy fairly well.

CURSED TECHNIQUE

Auspicious Beasts Summon is activated when Ino hides his face by covering it with his mask, turning himself into a spiritual medium. This allows Ino to summon and use the abilities of four auspicious beasts: Kaichi, Reiki, Kirin, and Ryu.

Kaichi: Auspicious Beast number one. Summons a horn with a spiral pattern on it. Can be fired as a projectile cloaked in cursed energy that won't stop until it hits its target.

Reiki: Auspicious Beast number two. Covers Ino's body in cursed water that can be used to cushion him from danger and/or increases his overall mobility.

Kirin: Auspicious Beast number three. Effectively causes intracerebral doping, which nullifies Ino's own sense of pain. However, it also drains his stamina, causing him to become extremely tired but unable to sleep at the same time. Once Kirin has been summoned and the technique completes, Ino becomes immobile for some time.

Ryu: Auspicious Beast number four. Little is known about this one currently. The move was interrupted when he used it against the revived Toji Zenin. Up to that point, nobody had ever survived to tell the tale after fighting Ryu... according to Ino.

CURSED TOOL

Nanami's Blunt Sword: A cursed tool originally used by Kento Nanami, resembling a blunt sword wrapped in a cloth with a splattered black dot design. After his death, it was used by Ino during the battle against Sukuna. It has been imbued with Nanami's Ratio Technique, allowing Ino to enhance the power of his strike by dividing his target with lines and hitting the weak spot at the ratio point of seven to three. It was also durable enough to withstand a kick from Sukuna.

BACKSTORY

/

TRIVIA

Takuma's surname has the Nanori reading for "wild boar" (猪, i) and the Kun reading for "field, wilderness" (野, no). His given name has the Jinmeiyo kanji and Go-on reading for "to polish, to cultivate one's skill" (琢, taku) and the Kun reading for "truth, genuine" (真, ma).

Takuma is always getting help from others because of his little-brother vibe.

Takuma really respects Kento Nanami after accompanying him on a mission.

Takuma hopes that he'll get Nanami's watch as a hand-me-down one day.

According to Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook:

Enrollment method: Family lineage.

His hobby is attending drinking parties.

Favorite food: Deep-fried horse mackerel.

Least favorite food: Pickled dish.

Cause of stress: None.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

ugh just remembered when I was in that useless fucking social services job hunting workshop.... and the presenter, when she called me for my resume consult basically told me I was liar when I had the usual complaint that "oh just about EVERY entry level job where I am is DEMANDING that I have anywhere between 2 to 5 years experience already before applying"... and instead of confirming that is the problem with the job market today, she instead condescended to me saying "oh no honey that's bc they're HIGH LEVEL admin jobs demanding that and NOT ENTRY LEVEL. learn to read."

actually, no, sandra (not her real name). they're NOT high-level jobs. they're run of the mill front desk reception or call centre jobs, which are also basic data entry jobs.... that only 20 years ago (probably) would've been a walk-in off the street and be employed tomorrow thing, or NO experience needed, we'll train you!" type shit if you applied online.

now these positions are DEMANDING 2 to 5 years experience AND sometimes a combined traineeship for 1-2 years in business admin, pr that you ALREADY have the tafe cert III in business admin, bc they don't want you wasting time studying or waste their time training you. that's why I keep applying for traineeships bc half of these positions already come with one, or "the chance to take on a traineeship" which means, "we'll make you do it anyway and not reduce your workload to accommodate study time". if the job is advertised as a full-time position without the traineeship attached in the title (like a junior admin officer job or something that i've applied for at a local lawyer before).

just. I hated how dismissive this woman was all around. I know I should probs complain tk social services about her, but idk if anything would actually happen. and plus she'd be all like "oh everyone else in that class loved me, why don't you? just keep vibrating at 70htz in loathing and resentment and GET NO OPPORTUNITIES EVER bc of that. why did my teaching not get the IMPORTANCE of vibrating at 500htz ie. LOVE AND PEACE AND ACCEPTANCE is the ONLY thing that'll give you abundance and opportunities, through to you????"

uh maybe bc I see job hunting as a practical thing and not all the batshit reiki shit that I like in asmr for entertainment.... and the vision board mumbo jumbo of self-help internet is great coming from youtubers like Anna akana.... but NOT in a jobhunting working shop.... where you're guilting people about this mumbo jumbo is exactly why they'll never employed ever again. and esp since my old workplace tried to fire me for "ruining the positive family vibe of this workplave bc you rolled your eyes at me twice and are sarcastic from time to time 😥" during my performance meeting in November 2022. so obvs, I'll refuse to take that side of it seriously.

anyway my point was originally that im pissed of that this woman insisted that entry level jobs that are advertising 2 to 5 years experience aren't "entry level jobs, they're high level." when she was posed as an "employment expert" for this course.

no. they're NOT high-level jobs the bulk of the time. they're fucking run of the mill data entry which really only requires minimum skills in microsoft office and admin etc and a professional phone manner etc.... but instead they're asking for 2-5 years experience and intermediate to advanced microsoft office skills (or google suite etc) bc they want the applicant to do 25 jobs in place of 7 different people. which is shit I should be able to do with an arts degree. you're the one who really knows nothing.

but instead they want to drag me through another whole ass certificate 3 course and ANOTHER traineeship bc apparently an arts degree and a years worth of actual solid office experience isn't enough to man phones, do data entry, do front office reception and whatever dumbass shit "done with minimal supervision superhero" tasks they write in the job description on seek et al

#life #about me #shut up ilona #ilona's jobhunting thoughts and woes lol #ilona's work thoughts #ilona's work dilemmas #also posting this here bc i was supposed to comment kn something similar on linkedin #but then i accidentally refreshed my feed and lost the comment.... and i also thought better of it tbh
