I'm glad I found a forum like this.
I've always been interested in and open to alternative lifestyles and spirituality. I've been to a healer once, my mom works with reflexology, I've meditated on my own initiative - in my own way, I've read a few books and a lot online about different alternative subjects (ayurveda, lucid dreaming, mayan astrology, healing and so on), but mainly touched the surface - not gone in any deeper.
I'm interested in hearing about other peoples interests and lifestyles. At the moment I'm trying to learn myself what I can about the chakra system.
In general I'm wondering about how the chakra system works for different people, what tools (gem stones, drums or maybe something completely different) you use and why, how people practice it in their daily life, and such.. Also what kind of healing people perform, Reiki etc. If you have any tips for a curious newbie, they'll be greatly appreciated.
I've read many places that the root chakra has to be in balance before any of the other chakras can be. Does this mean that there's no point in working on the other chakras before the root chakra is in perfect balance?
When you heal and work on your chakras, can you do two or more simultaneously - or do you have to work on one at a time?
What alternative way of life do you live?
Do a lot of you do yoga? What way do you think is the best way to get into it, with a group or by videos or?
Also, I have a little problem I would love to get som help with (Keywords: Body temperature, excessive sweat)
It seems like my body temperature isn't able to regulate itself. For example if I drink a hot cup of tea, I usually have to go out afterwards to cool down. And if I walk fast to catch the bus, I'll start sweating really bad when I sit down on the bus. When I have sex with my significant other, we can't go on for hours - because the pool of sweat (caused by my body) between us gets so uncomfortable and makes me feel really unattractive. In work situations I can end up fighting my tears because I'm so embarassed for suddenly being so sweaty. I know, it sounds pathetic, it's not a lifethreatening condition or anything, please don't get me wrong. I'm now in the mid twenties, this has been going on since I was approximately 16. The weird thing is when I was pregnant almost half a year ago, I didn't sweat like this at all except for maybe the last month of the pregnancy. After my darling baby was out I started sweating again, but I also started the pill again, so it may have something to do with that. I don't know. After any of these situations it takes about 10 minutes of staying still, before I cool down.
ANYWAY.. If anyone know which chakras may have an influence on this kind of problem, or any ideas about what could cause it, and what might solve it, I would be grateful for answers.
Hope to be talking to someone on here and enjoying the forum
Have a good day,
