Unfortunately very few people are actually having this kind of life experience. More common are people who are feeling exhausted, overworked, overwhelmed and emotionally drained and empty. Their physical bodies are suffering, their creativity dried up, and their sense of personal direction veering way off course. Not only do many people feel seriously out of balance, they are in many cases even having what I call "out-of-body" lives where they are merely existing and barely experiencing life at all.

What I share with my clients is that most of our problems can be traced to one of our seven psychic energy centers, known to metaphysically minded as "chakras", from their Hindi term which means spinning wheel, which from an energetic perspective is what a chakra looks like. These centers are satellites of activity that govern our physical, emotional, psychic and spiritual well being. In other words, they give us ability to not only live our lives, but to actually love them.

To rational Western mind ideas that we are comprised of energy centers that usher in life force and assist us in channeling our expression and creativity into physical plane seems far fetched and unlikely. And yet even our own language reveals our natural intuitive awareness of these centers and how they affect our lives. We say, for example,

"He galls me!" of someone who invades our boundaries and overrides our authority.

"Wow, that knocks me off my feet" of new love interest that upsets our concentration and routine.

"She has a heart of gold" of someone who opens our heart and touches us in a meaningful way.

When this satellite system is balanced and operating as it is intended, we experience life in an energetically fulfilling way. We feel grounded, emotionally safe, clear in our decisions and self direction, open to giving and receiving love, effective and creative in all forms of expression, inspired, imaginative and intimately connected to our spirit, others and to God. Such a life is filled with blessings, grace synchronicities and abundant satisfaction.

The key to having such lives lies in keeping these centers balanced. This may sound difficult and yet one more thing "to do" in our jam-packed existence, but in fact it really isn't, especially once you understand what throws them out of balance in first place. . Here are some great remedies to demonstrate principles from my latest book "True Balance: A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit". They are practical, playful, simple--and best part is, they work. These are not another round of .should do.s.. We all know what we .should. do, but who has time? These are immediate and appealing remedies that you will enjoy doing, and will bring results.

Your sense of security is found in first chakra. You can tell you have a solid foundation, or first chakra, if you aren't anxious or worry much. Need a quick fix to feel grounded?

Take a grounding walk and bring your awareness to moment, thinking of nothing else except how you are connecting to earth, and how it is supporting you right now.

Intuition helps you to view world through creative and receptive eyes, reminding you that, behind scenes in every way, universe is helping you succeed. When we see ourselves as we really are, spiritual beings, helped by guides, protected by angels, and infinitely loved by God, then being intuitive begins to make sense. The universe is a hologram, aware of all of its parts at all times, and each of us, being an essential part of whole, has access to its wisdom at every moment.

Being intuitive means being in tune with true nature of Universe, including your place in it, and will prevent you from believing anything less than truth; that as children of God, you are loveable, and worthy of everything good in Universe has to offer. It will free you from tendency to harm or repress your genuine needs, feelings, and desires. In living an intuitive life, you live life with an open heart. In other words, you become committed to loving yourself and agree to accept love and abundance that Universe wants you to experience.

Following your intuition will also help you to walk away from people or situations that are not good for you. It will let you know that they have right to keep themselves out of harms way by respecting your natural boundaries, and identifying and avoiding negative circumstances without having to justify their reasons.

Being intuitive offers you a world that is friendly, adventurous, and amusing, but most of all one that welcomes your unique essence. It will lay foundation for your ability to experience real power in your lives, this power that comes from within and cannot be diminished by anyone.
