The throat chakra is the center for expression, confidence, power, self-esteem, growth and learning.[1]  When the throat chakra is balanced we know that we are spirit and that we are good.  When the throat chakra is balanced we know that our behavior is evolving and yet our essential self is light filled.  When the throat chakra is balanced we know that we are filled with divinity and that we are learning.  We feel a sense of confidence in our selves and a sense of confidence that we can learn what it is we need to learn.  We have confidence in ourselves and confidence that there is a spiritual force of life that is working with us to manifest what we need.  When our throat chakra is balanced we can say what we need to say.  When our throat chakra is balanced we can step into our power and shine our light out into the world.

I’d like to share an exercise that we worked with in last weeks Thursday night meditation class that helps to balance and heal the throat chakra.

Try this:

Imagine a golden orb of light in the center of your throat.  Imagine that this golden orb of light is growing brighter and brighter now.  See this orb of golden light filling your throat chakra.  See this orb of golden light filling your throat chakra with healing energy.  Now imagine this gold light beginning to radiate from your throat chakra.  See beams of golden light radiating from the throat.  See these beams of light growing brighter and brighter, more and more expansive.  See rays of golden light radiating in all directions from your throat chakra.

Affirm:

I am a powerful being of light.

I am a powerful being of light.

I am a powerful being of light.

Feel the power of your spirit.  Know that your essential self is good and that you are learning and growing.  Know that your essential self is light filled and powerful.  Know that there is a place of great confidence that lies within you.

When you know that you are good and you sit in the light of your spirit you will naturally emanate light and love and power and goodness.  When you know that you are good and sit in the power of your spirit you will have the courage to say that which is yours to say.  When your know that you are good you will not fear the criticism of others.  When you know that you are good you can radiate your goodness out into the world and be a powerful force of light.

And so sit in the power of your spirit now.  Know that there is a place of light and love and power and goodness that lies within you.  Connect to the great light of your spirit now and radiate this light out into the world.  Devote yourself to service and use your power and your light for the good of all of humanity.

Affirm once again:

I am a powerful being of light.

I am a powerful being of light.

I am a powerful being of light.

Let this be your affirmation for the day.  See how this impacts the quality of your day, your relationships and your manifestation.  Also work with the gold light visualization.   Allow the golden orb of light to strengthen and balance your throat chakra and help you step into your full power.

How does it feel to repeat the affirmation, I am a powerful being of light?  Does working with a golden orb of light help heal your throat chakra?  What do you experience as you do this meditation?  Feel free to leave your comments in the space below.  I welcome your feedback and it can be useful for others to know how the affirmation and visualization has impacted you.

Also, feel free to check out our Monday night TRCB group healing and our Thursday night meditation class where we explore these ideas in more detail.  Both groups meet at 7 p.m. and are drop in.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

This weeks TRCB healing group met just hours after the Boston Marathon.  We had a full house that night, perhaps because it was a holiday, but perhaps it was also because people wanted to join together in light and love and healing after such an event.  Everyone was anxious to assist those in Boston and those all over the world who are suffering and so we took a moment to send gold light to the earth and to all those who are suffering upon the earth.

To send light to the earth simply imagine the earth in front of you and then imagine streams of golden light shining down upon the earth.  Imagine the earth filling with light, filling with love, filling with compassion and all of the principles of spirit.  Imagine more and more light shining down upon the earth and know that this light is bringing healing energy to those in need.  Know that this light is elevating your own consciousness as well as elevating the awareness of those upon the earth.

Light is a powerful force.  When you send light you are sending all of the principles of spirit.  When you send light you are sending healing energy, love, compassion, strength, sensitivity, balance, and wholeness.  When you send light you elevate consciousness.  When you send light you raise your own vibration as well as assist others as well.  And so send light often.  Send light to yourself, to others, and to the earth.  As you do you will assist in bringing healing energy to the planet and light to the darkness.

“See yourself as a light worker.  See yourself as someone who has come to bring light to the planet.  See yourself as someone who has come to assist.  Offer your full contribution in all that you think, in all that you say, and in all that you do.  It is in this way that your world will be transformed.  Each must first work to heal themselves and then assist others in healing as well.  But do not wait until you are fully healed.  Start wherever you are at and offer your full contribution.  As you serve and assist you will grow, learn and evolve as well.  And so work on your own evolution, offer your contribution and work with the light.”  

For today, practice sending light to the earth and know that as you do you are sending waves of healing energy out to the planet that will impact the world at large.  Step into your power.  Know and understand the power of your mind and use it for your own healing, the healing of others and the healing of the planet.”

This week work with the following affirmation:

I send light.

I send light to myself.

I send light to others.

I send light to the earth.

I send light and I ask that this light be a healing force.

I send light and I ask that all who are in need receive the light.

I send light and I ask that this light bring healing to those on the earth.

I send light and I ask that this light bring healing to the planet.

I send light and I ask that this light raises the vibration.

I send light and I ask that this light elevate awareness.

I send light and I contribute to the healing of the planet.

I send light.

I send light to myself.

I send light to others.

I send light to the earth.

Our Tong Ren Chakra Balancing group meets every Monday night from 7-8:30.  I think that from now on we will end our healing group with sending light to the planet.  In this way the healing energy generated by our group can ripple out and positively impact the world at large.   Also, we have a powerful meditation class that meets from 7-9:00 on Thursday evenings.  Both groups are drop-in.  I look forward to seeing you!

We all have to contend with stress on a daily basis.  Sometimes its minor stresses like being late to work, having a lot to do, or needing to give a speech in front of a large group.  Sometimes are sources of stress are more significant.  During all of these times it is essential to have tools that will help us to sustain our emotional balance, peace and calm.

TRCB (Tong Ren Chakra Balancing) is a such a tool.  TRCB is an energy healing technique that balances each of the 7 chakras.  The chakras are energy centers located along the front line of the body.  When the chakras are balanced we feel emotionally calm and peaceful.  In addition, when the chakras are balanced we can more easily access our inner wisdom, clarity, trust, love, compassion, confidence, power, acceptance, creativity, wholeness, and discipline.

The beauty of TRCB is that it is a simple and yet powerful tool that can be used by anyone, anytime to promote healing in themselves or others.

How does TRCB work? 

TRCB works by releasing conscious and unconscious blockages in the chakra system.  When the blockages are released our true self can step forward and we can step into a life of actualization and contribution.

How do you do a TRCB session for yourself?

To do a TRCB session for yourself, simply pick up your TRCB doll and hammer (available at www.trcbhealing.com) and tap on each of the seven chakras of the Tong Ren doll.  As you tap you will be sending healing energy to your chakras and releasing blockages.  In addition, as you tap on each of the seven chakras you repeat the following affirmations either aloud or to yourself:

Crown:

I let go and I trust the process of life.

Third eye:

I am wise.

Throat:

I am fully expressive.  I express myself fully and appropriately.

Heart:

I am a radiant being of light and love.

Solar plexus:

I accept myself completely.

I accept that I have strengths.

I accept that I have weaknesses.

I accept that I am learning and growing.

I accept myself completely.

Identity:

I am balanced.

Base:

I am disciplined.  I attend to my mind, body, and spirit everyday.

Another way to do a TRCB session for yourself, especially if you don’t yet have a doll and hammer, is simply go to our website and watch the TRCB how-to video (http://trcbhealing.com/how-to-video/).  In this video, I tap on the seven chakras of the Tong Ren doll and repeat the appropriate affirmations.  The video is a wonderful way to become familiar with the technique and experience the healing energy as well.

Many people like to begin their day with a TRCB treatment.  This will assist you staying balanced through out the day.  I recommend either watching the video or tapping for yourself daily for best results.

Also feel free to join our Monday night group that meets from 7-8:30 at 800 Main Street, Amherst, Ma. or  email me to set up your own private phone session.

In last weeks Monday night healing group one of the participants asked if we could do Tong Ren Chakra Balancing (TRCB) for her son.  Her son was as looking for employment and having a hard time finding a job.  He had many interviews, just no offers.  We tapped on the chakras of the Tong Ren doll to release any blockages that her son may have been consciously or unconsciously holding around finding work.   We also said a chakra balancing affirmation as we tapped on each chakra. The affirmations that we used for this treatment were: (names have been changed to protect privacy)

Crown:         I trust that spirit is working with John to manifest what he needs.

Third eye:      John is wise.  He makes wise decisions.

Throat:             John is filled with confidence.  John is confident in himself and           confident that spirit is working with him to manifest what he needs.

Heart:                John is love and love is all around him.

Solar Plexus:     John welcomes new opportunities.  John welcomes new work.  John welcomes learning.  John welcomes growth.  John welcomes adventure.  John welcomes ease and John welcomes challenge for we learn from both challenge and ease.  John welcomes new opportunities.

Identity:            John is balanced.  John is both sensitive and strong.

Base:               John is disciplined.  He attends to his mind, body, and spirit everyday.

We tapped as a group, sent light, let go of our attachments and then simply moved on to the next person.  The next week when we met again the mother of the young man had an update.  She told the group that the very next day, after we had tapped, her son received a phone call from a friend who had found work on a farm (the type of work this young man was looking for).  This friend told John that they needed a second employee.  John applied, got the job and was flying off to his new place of employment this week. His mother was deeply relieved and appreciative of the healing energy we had sent to her son.  Her son had been looking for work for months and months and so this felt like a true healing.

Was it a coincidence that this opportunity opened up one day after doing TRCB?  I can’t say.  What I can say is that these type of coincidences seems to happen a lot after our Monday night group and after a TRCB session in general.  Tapping on the 7 chakras of the Tong Ren doll energetically releases blockages in the chakra system.  When the blockages are released the energy of our lives can flow the way it is supposed to.  What is meant to leave our lives can go and what is meant to enter our lives can come in.  Sometimes the healing that occurs with TRCB is a physical healing, sometimes it is a shift in attitude, sometimes it is even a shift in our external circumstances.  Healing can take many forms.

If you would like to experience the healing power of TRCB feel free to drop in to our Monday night healing group that meets at 800 Main Street in Amherst at 7:00 p.m..  If you live afar you can schedule a long distance healing session with me personally or purchase your own doll and hammer and try it out for yourself.  Either way TRCB has the power to release the blockages in your mind, body, chakra system and your life.

If you would like to work with the affirmations listed above, simply tap on each chakra of the Tong Ren doll with the Tong Ren hammer and repeat the following affirmations:  (see video page for visual demonstration)

Crown:            I trust that spirit is working with me to manifest what I need.

Third eye:        I am wise.  I am a wise decision maker.

Throat:             I am filled with confidence.  I am confident in myself and confident that   spirit is working with me to manifest what I need.

Heart:              I am love and love is all around me.

Solar Plexus:   I welcome new opportunities.  I welcome learning.  I welcome growth.  I welcome adventure.  I welcome ease and I welcome challenge for we learn both from ease and challenge.  I welcome all of life.

Identity:            I am balanced.  I am both sensitive and strong.

Base:              I am disciplined.  I attend to my mind, body, and spirit every day.

Let us know how this post and working with these affirmations affect your week.  I appreciate your feedback!

In yesterdays post we focused on the affirmation:  I am a being of great light.  For today, I would like to focus on the affirmation I am a being of great humility.  For inside of each one of us is tremendous greatness and tremendous humility.

And so begin with the affirmation:

I am filled with humility.

I am filled with humility.

I am filled with humility.

Take a moment and connect with the deep humility that lies inside.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

Connect with that part of you that is filled with humility.  Feel the humility that lies within.  Know that you are one small part of the whole.  Know that you have come to offer your simple contribution, whether it is a smile, a kind word, or assistance of some sort.  Feel your humility.  Embody your humility.  Know that you are enough as you are.  Know that you are learning and growing.  Know that everyone is learning and growing.  Seek to embody more and more of your humility.  Seek to be a learner, a grower, seek to be humble in all that you undertake.  Know that you are human and learning and spirit and filled with divinity.  Let your current state of awareness and consciousness be okay.  You are enough as you are.

I am filled with humility.

I am enough as I am.

I am enough.

I am enough.

I am enough.

I am filled with humility.

As you accept yourself and embody your full humility you will relax.  As you relax you can actualize more of your true nature.  And so see yourself as a being of great humility and seek to embody this humility on deeper and deeper levels.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

Go through your day today as a being of great humility.  Be humble.  Be kind.  Speak the truth.  Say what needs to be said.  See yourself as part of the whole.  Know that you are learning and growing and that everyone is learning and growing.  Allow your humility to be the gateway to your greatness.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

Experiment with this affirmation today and see how this impacts the quality of your day and the quality of your relationships.  Remember we are all learning and we are all growing.  No one is perfect.  All are human and learning and spirit and filled with divinity.  Seek to see and understand the humanness in yourself and others and seek to see and understand the greatness in others as well.  As you see the humanity in others and allow it to be okay you offer a healing salve.  As you see the greatness in others you assist in calling that greatness forward.  And so embrace your humility today.  Embrace the learning process.  Accept yourself as you are and accept others as well.  Do not confuse acceptance with passivity.  Acceptance is merely the first step.  As you move into deeper acceptance you will feel calm, as you feel calm you will become more clear, as you become more clear you will know how to proceed.  And so embody your humility today on deeper and deeper levels and be aware of how this impacts the quality of your day.  We are all teachers and we are all students.  We are all filled with humility and filled with greatness.  And so for today embody your humility and see where this takes you.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

I am a being of great humility.

Feel free to leave your comments below. I’d love to hear how the affirmation, I am a being of great humility impacts your thinking and your day!

One of the themes that arouse in our Monday night TRCB group was the theme of being a being of great light.  We are human and we are learning and at the same time we are spirit and filled with divinity.  When you remember who you are at the deepest level you are better able to actualize you best self.  And so take a moment now and see yourself as a being of great light.  See yourself as a spiritual being.  See yourself as a being of great divinity.  See the greatness that lies within.  When you see and acknowledge your greatness you will begin to manifest more of your greatness.

Affirm:

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

Imagine that there is a place of greatness that lies within you.  Imagine that your light, your divinity, your presence is a healing one.  Imagine that all those who come in contact with you are healed by the great light that is emanating from you.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

All who come into my presence are healed.

All who come into my presence are healed.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

Go through your day today as a being of great light.  How do you respond to the challenges of the day when you remember the greatness that lies within you?  How does this impact the quality of relationships and your interactions?

When you remember your greatness you will not judge others.   When you remember your greatness you will see yourself as a teacher.  When you see your own greatness you will seek to understand rather than condemn.  You will seek to assist rather than critize.  When you see your own greatness you will be able to admit when you are wrong.  For it takes strength and awareness to acknowledge ones own mistakes.   When you see your own greatness you will know that you are both a teacher and a student.  You will desire to be of assistance when appropriate and will be comfortable being the student when appropriate.  When you see your own greatness you will want to be a healing force in the life of others.  When you see your own greatness you will desire to be a healing force in the world.  And so step into your greatness now and step into a life of contribution.  You were born to manifest the greatness that lies within and so do not hide it or fear it in anyway.  Do not fear the criticism of others who may feel threatened by your shining light. 

Do not seek to be perfect for this is an impossible goal.  Offer that which you came to offer knowing that you are both human and learning and spirit and filled with divinity.  There will be mistakes.  There will be mishaps for all are learning.  Learn to accept this process.  Learn to embrace this process for it will unite you with all of humanity, for all are learning and all are growing.  At the same time embrace your wisdom, embrace your strength, embrace your power, for this too will united you with all of humanity.  For you are also spirit and filled with greatness.  Everyone is spirit and everyone is filled with greatness.  As you step into your own greatness you forge a path which will assist others in doing the same.  And so step forward now.  Step forward in your own imperfect way and know that it is both your humanness and divinity that will appeal to others.  Seek to offer your full contribution.  Be pure in your intention and the path will be revealed to you.  Be patient.  Be true.  The way forward is unfolding. 

And so affirm one last time:

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

All who come into my presence are healed.

All who come into my presence are healed.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

Let this be your affirmation for the day and be aware of how it impacts your day.  See the greatness that lies with in and allow it to come forward more and more in your everyday life.  At the same time be aware that you are human and learning and growing.  Be gentle with yourself as you walk your path.

And so embrace your humanness and embrace your divinity.  Shine your light, be patient with yourself and carry on.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am a being of great light.

I am open to the miraculous.

For today’s meditation I’d like to focus on opening to the miraculous.  What miracles can occur when we open to them?  What shifts of conscious?  How much are we blocking because we simply aren’t open enough?  Lets explore ways to releasing our inner resistance and open to a more expanded view.

I would like to begin with the affirmation:

I am open to the miraculous.

I attract miracles.

I am a magnet for miracles.

I expect miracles.

I appreciate all the miracles in my life.

I am open to the miraculous.

Take a moment now and really open to the miraculous.  What does it feel like to open to the miraculous?  How does being open to the miraculous shift your day and your mind set?

I am open to the miraculous.

I attract miracles.

I am a magnet for miracles.

I expect miracles.

I appreciate all the miracles in my life.

I am open to the miraculous.

Feel yourself opening more and more.  When you expand your idea of what is possible you help to bring it in.  So expand your idea of what is possible now and in so doing assist in manifesting it.

I am open and expanded.

I expand my idea of what is possible.

As I expand my idea of what is possible, I help to bring it in.

I am open and expanded.

Feel yourself opening and expanding now.  A friend once heard in her meditation, that your limited mind has no idea of the infinite possibilities that exist.  What possibilities exist that your limited mind cannot imagine?

I am open to the miraculous.

I attract miracles.

I am a magnet for miracles.

I expect miracles.

I appreciate all the miracles in my life.

I am open to the miraculous.

I’d like you to bring to mind a situation in your life where you could use a miracle. Practice opening to the miraculous by repeating:

I am open to the miraculous.

I attract miracles.

I am a magnet for miracles.

I expect miracles.

I appreciate all the miracles in my life.

I am open to the miraculous.

Quite your mind now and sit in this new alignment. What happens as you open to the miraculous?

As I write this guided meditation, I am practicing as well.  I chose to look at a relationship that is very challenging for me.  As I open to the miraculous I see that the miracle in this relationship would be for me to be very clear and very strong with this person.  This is a relationship, where for lack of a better word, I’ve been wimpy.  I thought the miracle would be that this person would magically disappear.  Instead the miracle would be me stepping into my full clarity, wisdom and power so that I can skillfully deal with this difficult person.

What is your miracle today?

Lets practice a second time.  Bring a second circumstance to mind and affirm:

I am open to the miraculous.

I attract miracles.

I am a magnet for miracles.

I expect miracles.

I appreciate all the miracles in my life.

I am open to the miraculous.

Quiet your mind and ask, what happens as I open to the miraculous in this situation?

Again, I practice along as I write and I bring to mind a second challenge.  As I open to the miraculous I see that the miracle is me staying steady and trusting as I navigate this challenging situation.

Miracles come in many shapes and sizes.  So open now, open to the miraculous.  As you look for miracles you will see miracles.  As you look for expansion, you will see expansion.  Look all around you.  See the miracles that are happening every day.  Take nothing for granted.  Appreciate everything.  Take time to focus every day on the miracles that are coming your way.  Take time every day to express appreciation for the many blessings in your life.  For what you focus on will grow.  Look for, expect and appreciate the many gifts of your life.  What appears as challenge may be your greatest gift.  Learn to see deeper, learn to look deeper, learn to look below the surface and you will see that there is a growth plan in effect for each person.  Your limited mind cannot comprehend the infinite possibilities that exist.  Learn to look beneath the surface so that you can see the miracles that are occurring everyday.  Look at what you are learning.  Look at how you are growing.  The challenges in you life have come to assist you, to assist you in your growth process to assist you in learning and growing.  Learn to look deeper so you may see the gifts present in every situation.  Open to the miraculous and learn to see the miracles that are happening all around you.  You are learning and you are growing.  Everyone is learning and everyone is growing and this growth processes is one of the great miracles of life.  So open now. Open to life.  Open to learning. Open to new experiences and open to the miraculous. As you open to the miraculous you will see the miracle present in every situation.  Do not be too quick to judge what is good and what is bad for deep learning is occurring all the time and that which looks difficult may be your greatest gift.  Seek to actualize your best self in every day life and stay open to the miraculous.

I am open to the miraculous.

I attract miracles.

I am a magnet for miracles.

I expect miracles.

I appreciate all the miracles in my life.

I am open to the miraculous.

In our healing group that meets every Monday night different themes seem to
emerge each week. Last week, one of the themes that rose to the surface was
“opening to the miraculous.” This theme arose in part because a member of
our group had just found out that her tumors, which had been quite serious, had
become imperceptible. She shared her happy news with the group and thanked
us all for our contribution to her healing. This indeed, did seem like a miracle and
helped set off the theme for the evening.

The affirmation that was repeated over and over as we tapped on the crown
chakra of the TRCB doll was:

I am open to the miraculous.
I attract miracles.
I am a magnet for the miraculous.
I expect miracles.
I experience miracles.
I appreciate the many miracles that are in my life.
I acknowledge the many miracles in my life.
I am open to the miraculous.

This affirmation helps to open the crown chakra, located at the top of the head.
The crown chakra is the center for trust, inspiration, devotion, spontaneity, and
connection to spirit. The affirmation: I am open to the miraculous helps open the
crown chakra because it is inspiring and because it fosters a deeper connection
to forces greater than ourselves.

A second member of our group told a follow up story this week. She spoke about
being in a difficult situation while at work. She was feeling quite overwhelmed
while at work and so she began to repeat the affirmation:

I am open to the miraculous.
I am open to the miraculous.
I am open to the miraculous.

As she repeated this affirmation she quickly went from a state of overwhelm, to
a state of confidence. She was flooded with the feeling that she could handle
this situation that just moments before felt unmanageable. Our group member
reported that her shift in attitude from overwhelm to confidence felt like a true
miracle and was quite profound.

Sometimes when we open to the miraculous, our miracle is a physical healing
and sometimes our miracle is a shift in perception. Sometimes a tumor
disappears and other times we are flooded with a deep sense of acceptance for
a situation that previously felt unacceptable. Miracles can take many forms.

Experiment working with the affirmation: I am open to the miraculous and see
what happens. Does your physical environment shift in some way or does
your attitude about what is happening shift? Or both? Let us know what you
experience.

I am open to the miraculous.
I attract miracles.
I am a magnet for the miraculous.
I expect miracles.
I experience miracles.
I appreciate the many miracles that are in my life.
I acknowledge the many miracles in my life.
I am open to the miraculous.
