As a kinesiologist and complementary medicine practitioner, I’ll be sharing my knowledge and use of the chakras through a seven-week course: ‘Align & Shine’. Each week, I will guide you through one of the seven major chakras as you explore the different elements of mind, body and soul.
Thoughts
Attachment or Authenticity; which would you choose?
The authentic self communicates heart-centred desires or choices. These can feel in opposition with staying attached. So in order to stay attached (read ‘accepted, loved and/or safe), we are often faced with conflicting feelings— one from the heart and one from the brain-centred attachment system. This happens in little and big ways when we are quite young, for example— the desire to dress as a pirate for school which goes against the school uniform. As a primary schooler, I have a vivid memory of choosing to wear a bright red jumper and knee high socks to my school where everyone wore dark green and white. I look back and chuckle at how boldly I would have stood out on the playground. However, I was given space to be authentic. The very word ‘uniform’ describes the very tension between Self and Other and what Other is often asking of us— ‘having always the same form, manner, or degree : not varying or variable’

Action and judgement become entwined, creamed together like the sugar and butter of life as if without action, we are nothing. We forget to be still and allow ourselves to rise.

Making the imperfect, perfect
Diary of a Flawed Healer Part I We mustn’t shy away from the unpleasant discomfort that comes with facing what’s beneath our immeasurable pain: our health issues, our relationships, the way life is panning out for us or how we feel about ourselves and our imperfections. In too many instances we look for perfection, aspire…
How to take charge of your life
There comes many a time when you stop, look around and ask— “how did I get here?” Don’t get me wrong; it’s not all bad. Many a time I have woken and marvelled in my surroundings or delighted in what I was grateful to be doing that day. However, sometimes the question sounds more like…
