Why Do We Fear the Change? – Making Room for New Things
Have you ever wondered why do people fear the change? Why do we cling on to old things and refuse to let it go in order to welcome the new life changes? We all fear changes in our lives but accepting changes is essential for us to be happy and that’s why in this post I will be showing you how you can deal with your fears associated with inevitable life changes.
Some people may deny it but we all are afraid of changes in life, only the intensity of this fear varies from person to person. It is perfectly normal to be afraid of losing what you have right now but being too much concerned about keeping things as it is can take away your peace of mind.
Metathesiophobia is the psychological term for this fear, we can only call it a phobia when this fear grows to become a serious psychological affliction. A person loses their inner peace due to their attachments with their past, this extreme form of Metathesiophobia can cause chronic depression.
When I opted for Christie Marie Sheldon’s unlimited abundance program, I found that she emphasized a lot on clearing this deep-rooted fear because it stops people from moving forward in their lives and she has created an entire session on “the fear of change”.
With a little research I came to realize that this fear is something that holds all of us from progressing and accepting something that is inevitable, it seems to be a very simple concept but it plays a very crucial role in the formation of a person’s mindset which controls their behavioral patterns and attitude.
You may not be having this phobia in its extreme form but the reason why you are reluctant about taking strong actions that are needed for your personal growth is your fear of uncertainty. Even a positive life change is an unknown situation that our subconscious mind will not allow to happen due to the old limiting beliefs. In other words, people are stuck where they are in their lives because it is not comfortable for them to explore new possibilities.
Root Chakra Imbalance Symptoms-Do You Feel Alienated and Disconnected?
Root Chakra, also known as Muladhara(in Sanskrit) is the first chakra of our energy body, this chakra is the one that is related the most to the aspects of our physical world.
Root chakra is situated at the base of the spine and it is depicted by the color red.
It is extremely important to balance your root chakra because all the major emotional problems like anger, frustration, jealousy, doubt, depression etc can arise due to improper flow of the energy through this chakra.
A person whose root chakra is blocked suffers from a lot of emotional issues which is mostly related to the materialistic needs, the main symptom of a blocked root chakra is insecurity and lack of self esteem as the root chakra is associated to our basic survival needs.
On the other hand if a person’s root chakra is over active then he becomes too anxious and angry, in such cases an urge to control the situations and people arises which leads to total loss of mental peace that can also cause violent behavior.
The purpose of root chakra is to connect a person to mother earth and physical world, so when root chakra is not allowing the proper flow of energy then the individual feels disconnected with the planet and people, this results in lack of interest towards life.
So, from the above discussion we can infer that it is extremely important for a person to keep his root chakra in balance, here I am going to discuss with you a few symptoms that will let you know if you have an issue with your root chakra. Continue reading
Healing the Emotional Pain Caused by Toxic Relationships and Memories That Destroys One’s Serenity
Recently, I have been through a time that put me into a confused state of mind which was neither letting me to move forward nor allowing me to be at peace with the present moment.
Great teachers have always taught that you don’t need to fix anything outside of you to live a happy life,all that’s essential is to be in harmony with your own existence.
That’s really difficult to understand because when nobody understands you,all your efforts are just making the situation worse and your mind is in a chaotic state such philosophies appears to be total bullshit.
The dominating emotions of an individual facing such circumstances are guilt, anger and resentment.If prolonged,these feelings can result into self sabotage.

Using Your Mental Addictions as a Key to Practice Mindfulness Anywhere and Anytime
We all have mental addictions; it is the self talk that we do all day long unconsciously.
Mindfulness activities help a person to enjoy his life by bringing his mind completely in the present (now) moment, setting a few hours for meditation helps a person to get more control over his thoughts but for a man living in today’s fast moving world it is hard to focus on the present moment or making mindfulness a way of living the life when he is busy in his daily routine.
Our problem is the addictive thought patterns that takes all the space in our mind, for example a person who is driving his car is engaged in thinking about the upcoming project in his office or worrying about his kids in the school, he becomes aware and conscious only when there is a need to slow down or push the brake suddenly.
The more you are able to escape your mental addictions and become aware of what you are doing now, the easier the life gets.
The Rational Thinking Mind

Don’t Wait for the Right Time-The Law of Attraction Requires Action!
Some people think that the law of attraction is some kind of magic that will drop goodies in their lap, but working with your thoughts and vibrations needs you to take inspired actions.
Using creative visualization, writing your goals and working with your thoughts alone is not enough for the manifestation of your desires, a person has to be ready and aware to act on the inspirations he receives.

It is pretty obvious that when you want something with all you heart, you will always be doing something to move towards it, but if you are setting goals that you don’t believe you can achieve then you will be stuck where you are and later you will find thousand reasons to say that the law of attraction is a crap.
Gyan Mudra – A Simple Mudra for Stimulating the Root Chakra
Gyan Mudra, that is also known as “Chin Mudra” is a very common and simple hand posture that is used in many yogic practices to make them more effective.
“Gyan” means wisdom in Sanskrit, so it can also be called as the wisdom mudra.
The prime reason why this particular hand gesture is used for meditation is because it helps one to have lesser thoughts during that time, thus it provides better focus to successfully carry out the process.
You can achieve higher states of meditation with appropriate use of this simple method because when you are less affected by the thoughts in your mind, you can experience altered states of consciousness.
According to ancient yogic teachings, our body is made up of five elements viz. water,fire,air,earth and ether, all the mind and health related problems are born due to the imbalance in these elements. This mudra helps to balance the vayu( air) element in the body.
I used to be very skeptical of this stuff, but with better understanding of this knowledge I realized that even though they are just simple different methods of placing the fingers at various points in your hands, it can prove out to be very beneficial for your health since it stimulates various brain nerves with the pressure applied to certain meridian points.

Prosperity Consciousness and the Piggy Bank Game–Using the Law of Attraction to Attract More Wealth
I have wondered many times after reading self help books that “Okay, the flow of wealth in our lives depends on how we feel about it and our subconscious beliefs about it.A person has to build prosperity consciousness to allow more of it in his life, but how the hell can I feel prosperous at times when I am broke?”

When you are completely broke and someone comes to say “use your creative powers to attract money”, you feel like smashing their heads on wall.. Don’t you?..lol
Here, I am going to share my piggy bank game with you which is a very practical way for me to find that place where I can feel “relief” about money, but before going there let me explain you why I do this because when you know “money is meant to be circulated” according to the laws of universe, then hoarding it in a corner of house may seem a little out of whack.
