so...chakra is a pretty complicated concept (as many spiritual concepts are...)

and i have been very, very interested in it of late, as i have felt for some time that dualistic ideas in western philosophy destroy the concepts of spirituality... being interested in physics and being a very spiritual person, the idea of Chakra appealed to me more than any other concept i have seen.

so i just wanted to share this with everyone here, and see what you think:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra

^basic concept.

other than that, if anyone knows of a similar concept in another religious/spiritual heritage, i'd love to look at it as well.

or if you know about Chakra, do you have any good exercises to help balance the 7 levels?

peace&love

the first step is to be aware of your own energy, and how it balances. once you can see and feel your energy, then there is a good exercise to manipulate it. you try and focus your energy into a ball, and in time with your breathing, move it from your feet to your head, and then back down. that is the way i started, i'm still not that good with chakras, but i'm improving. but this is a good place to start, you need to be able to sense and move energy before you can begin to clear your chakras if you are anything like me. though i guess for some, it would be easier to start with chakras. this is just the way i learned, i'm sure there are many ways. hope it helped. good luck in learning, i hope i've helped somehow, cause i'm really just self-taught, i'm no expert.

The only energy I've ever felt swirling around me has always been from outside and just a constant breeze. Actually I don't know if swirling is really the correct term, maybe more like radiating. I've always thought I was just being neurotic though.

I don't understand though how do you focus your energy? Do you mean like meditation?

@Natalie, first the energies definitely have purposes, they are the spiritual/electric balance to our "physical" bodies. (though, as i said, i am not a dualist, this is just the best way i have of describing it). if you can feel any type of energy, even if it is not from you, that is a good thing. it means you are in some way spiritually aware, not neurotic. (society will try to tell us we are wrong, but as you know they judge what they do not understand). PM me if you want to talk about energies more. i will give you what advice i can.

@Skyy, thanks. i have seen this exercise before, i will see what i can do with it. also, i don't know many who aren't self taught, the closest to anything else is people who do martial arts, but you have to hope that your teacher is also spiritually aware. also, PM me if you would like to discuss energies more. i am always a bit wary of posting in length about it for fear that i will confuse someone.

thanks for your interest.

yea, i wasnt very specific, but you are right, meditation is the way. you have to relax everything to see what you are working with, it is sort of a visualization thing. i sometimes feel a vibration or pressure where it is, but yea, the best way is to meditate, for me at least.

Metta Jendar :)

i actually took this earlier today..

i never really trust these things, but it's better than trying to guess on my own..as i thought, mine were all low..the highest was my third eye which was at 6%....lol....

i'm going to start meditating etc every day..i wish there was some way i could learn tai chi with a professional, since that's supposed to help..i'll see what i can find on my own though..

thanks for the link.

i think that it's mostly this low because i am currently focused so much on trying to move...which makes me neglect most everything else i'm doing (except my constant attempts to find something close to "truth" which is...well...hard to say the least).

but i hope i'm not really as closed as this test says, since i think that i am a fairly open person and am always trying to improve myself.....

oh well, all i can do is keep trying.

just wanted to put a disclaimer on my low scores..lol

Root: 13%

Sacral: 75%

Naval: 50%

Heart: 69%

Throat: 31%

Third Eye: 81%

Crown: 31%

thats pretty interesting. i wasnt aware of how far my sacral has come, it was once underactive. my throat was too, but coming to grips with my transgenderism is helping a lot. my third eye has always been crazy active, if it gets too strong, it can give me headaches. but believe it or not, its actually gotton less active. :lol: i'm starting to lose crown energy, i'm gonna work on that. my root...well all i can do is try to be more comfortable in uncomfortable places, i'm sure coming out is gonna force this one to open. thats about it for me, and it seems to line up with what i've been seeing, so that's good.

Kia Ora,

With test like this I clicked the first thought and feeling that comes to 'mind'...

Root open 63

Sacral open 44

Navel open 38

Heart open 63

Throat open 38

Third eye open 44

Crown over active 73

I guess 'over active' is better than 'under active' :rolleyes: or is it??? ;)

My score with the chakra test:

Root: under-active (-38%)

Sacral: under-active (0%)

Navel: open (44%)

Heart: under-active (-19%)

Throat: open (56%)

Third Eye: open (63%)

Crown: open (13%)

I found it interesting that, in the one's I'm underactive in:

Root: attachment to your body (LOL)

Sacral: sexuality, attachment to others, etc.

Heart: love, kindness and affection.

Pretty accurate I think.

Kia Ora,

:rolleyes: For those interested... here's another insight into what the different chakras represent...It's from 'Auras and Chakras'-Harnessing the energy within by Fiona Toy

The meaning of the Sanskrit name of the first chakra, Muladhara, is "root," and it is this first chakra that acts as our root, and is concerned with our connection to the earth and our very basic, fundamental needs for survival - sustenance, shelter, the health of our physical body, and safety.

If the energy of this chakra is depleted or blocked, our connection to nature and the world around us may be weakened. As a result, we are likely to feel "spacey" or "ungrounded," and less stable. In this condition, we may neglect our physical needs, and we may become unhealthy and weak as a result of this neglect.

If the energy of this chakra is over stimulated, we may become too attached to things of the physical world, and place too much importance on material wealth and possessions. We may be unable to develop the "higher" levels of our nature because we are afraid to risk losing these possessions. A miser, a person who is unable to enjoy their wealth for fear of losing it, is the perfect example of the energy of this chakra being out of balance.

This chakra is often referred to as the "base" chakra.

The energy of the second chakra is concerned with change, with cre¬ating form from formlessness. Our creativity, whether it is expressed artistically, academically, physically, or in the ultimate creative act ¬producing a child - is the energy of the second chakra. Second chakra energy is also the source of our sexuality. A free flow of energy through this chakra will be manifested as vitality and a passionate approach to life.

The Sanskrit name of this chakra roughly translates as "to sweeten," as the energy of this chakra is concerned with the pleasures of life, with desires, and with nurturing ourselves and our creativity. When it is in balance, this chakra brings an immense amount of pleasure into our lives. It allows us to see the beauty in the people and things around us, and allows us to take delight in our own creative abilities and passions.

If we have an excess of energy in this chakra, we may be overly focused on satisfying our desires, or unaware or unwilling to acknowledge that it is not always necessary or healthy to have all our desires met. If we have depleted energy levels in this chakra, we may deprive ourselves of any pleasure, or try to deny that we have any desires, and thus stifle our creativity and our passion.

This chakra is often referred to as the "belly" or "spleen" chakra.

The energy of the third chakra is concerned with personal power. Our sense of our place in the world, our confidence in ourselves, and our self-esteem are centred on this chakra. It is the seat of our will. Our ability to stand by our convictions and carry out what we have willed is dependent on the energy of this chakra.

With this chakra out of balance, we may be overly sensitive to the reactions of other people, feeling indifference or coolness as rejection, and anything less than totally positive feedback as criticism of ourselves. Our "inner critic" may also be operating at a level where we have little confidence in our capabilities, our worthiness, or our chances of being loved.

When this chakra is in balance, we are able to accept the responsibili-

ties that are truly ours and be confident in our actions and abilities. We are able to decide how we wish to act and then maintain our chosen courses of action. We will also be able to function without the approval of everyone around us. The courage and strength to be who we are with¬out outside approval is a sign of healthy self-esteem.

This chakra is often referred to as the "solar plexus" or "navel" chakra PS It's meant to be yellow but as you can see it's hard to read in yellow....

The fourth chakra is concerned with unconditional love. It affects our ability to consider others, to be gentle in our expectations of ourselves, and to empathize with the challenges and the joys experienced by others. It is the link between our intellect and our spiritual selves.

Unconditional love is a state of being - it can also be a conscious decision. We can engage our will (the third chakra) and direct the love of the fourth chakra to all those around us. When we are aware of how all things are interconnected, and give unconditional love to all those around us, we have a great sense of inner peace and well-being.

A person who is continually giving, even when they are in need them¬selves, is likely to be out of balance in third chakra energy (see page 40). Similarly, someone who denies any empathy with those around them and is unable to show compassion would likely have depleted energy in the fourth chakra.

This chakra is often referred to as the ((heart" chakra.

Expression and communication, both verbal and non-verbal, are the themes of the fifth chakra. Some mystics believe that the throat chakra is responsible for the telepathic abilities that are often associated with "picking up" on the thoughts of others. You may be experiencing these abilities when you know that the phone is about to ring before it does, or when you know who is on the phone before you answer a call. From an energy viewpoint, this kind of telepathy is possible because every living thing is connected by the energy that flows through the chakras.

When this chakra is in balance, we are considered and thoughtful with our communications, and aware of how they affect those around us. We are able to express our needs and our desires, and maintain our personal integrity with our communications - to "speak our truth" without being hurtful to others.

When this chakra is out of balance, we are likely to be over-talkative, and to speak about nothing in particular. In this state, it is very difficult for us to listen, and those around us are unlikely to spend very long listening to us. When we have depleted energy in this chakra, we are likely to be uncommunicative, or we give unclear messages in our non¬verbal communications.

This chakra is often referred to as the "throat" chakra.

This chakra is often referred to as the "brow" or "third eye" chakra

The third eye is the chakra where the conscious meets the unconscious! where our imagination and inner "sight" reside. The development of this chakra involves becoming more aware of our intuition and extrasensory perception. This is the energy of clairvoyance! and of other abilities such as precognition (the ability

to know of an event before it happens) and psychometry (the ability to "sense" information about an event or a person by touching or holding a related object).

An excess of energy in this chakra can mean that a person will be too influenced by the psychic realm, and may become "ungrounded," disorganized or disoriented, and appear "spacey." A depletion of sixth chakra energy can lead to a person being seen as narrow-minded and fixed in their thinking. They may be uncomfortable with anything that challenges them to think or feel something beyond their usual "tunnel vision."

If we have a balanced sixth chakra, we can utilize this additional information and combine it with our innate wisdom in order to make decisions that are not based on fear or ego. We are able to use our minds and the power of visualization to have a positive impact on our sur¬roundings, and improve the quality of our lives and the lives of those around us.

The seventh chakra is about insight, inner "knowing/, and self-¬realization. It is the home of our spirituality and our connection with the divine. The Sanskrit name for this chakra means "thousand fold," referring to the number of petals of the lotus that represents this chakra. It symbolizes the unlimited nature of our thought processes.

This chakra is the portal through which the energy that is the human life force enters the body. From the seventh chakra, this energy filters down through every other part of the body and through each of the other chakras. The strength and vitality of this energy in a person reflects their level of personal development.

Developed to its full potential, the energy of this chakra brings the highest level of consciousness, and is an indication that the person has mastered the challenges of all the other chakras.

Many healers and mystics believe that humankind, as part of the evolutionary process, is moving toward an ever larger number of people who are fully developing this chakra. When the majority of people have developed the crown chakra, it is expected that humankind will take a great step forward, away from the needs and conflicts of the lower chakras toward a more spiritually oriented existence.

This chakra is often referred to as the "crown" or "coronal" chakra.

Remember... When 'knowing' what the problem is-one is on the road to solving it!

Don't forget to check out the "How to open' link on the site....

Happy Open Chakras-An open heart leads to an open mind an open mind leads to contentment...

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!

      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together
    • Abigail Genevieve
      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.
