Using the Mind-Body Connection to Help You

In this last video of the 7-part series on the Chakra System, I will focus on the 7th Chakra, also called the "Crown Chakra." As the name suggests, this Chakra connects us to the throne. This is where the all-governing power of the universe touches and enters our beingness.  I know this must sound like a powerful spiritual proclamation about the 7th Chakra. Still, even in a scientific wa...

Today, I will examine the projections of the universe and the Psychic or Astral Plane. This dimension is a space where all the projections of everyone reside in the ether. We have a choice every day to take from this plane what we see fit. We can focus on aspects of the Astral Plane, and they can make us feel good or bad depending on how they are reinterpreted by the individual. I give some backgr...

Today, I will examine the sixth Chakra as we learn about the Third Eye and its spiritual and mental aspects related to the body. The Chakra System as a whole is an ancient practice of bringing personal experience into a model that represents areas of the body and how they coincide with what we experience physically. Even though many consider this a spiritual practice, it may produce scientific res...

Today, I talk about the voice and the word that originates in the 5th Chakra. This Chyakra is often called the the Throat Chakra and is the first Chakra that comes next after the middle Chakra called the Heart. This movement into the voice is a powerful transformation where we amplify and communicate a message. With the Throat Chakra, we are able to put stories together through the use of letters...

We sometimes have enemies, but having an enemy hurts your overall health. Today, I look into how the concept of an enemy comes to fruition. I describe how the enemy only arises from love being denied or rejected. I break down what came first, hate or love. Through personal experience and mindful reasoning, I show that we make enemies after we feel that love is missing. And finally, I will share wh...

In the Chakra System, the Fourth Chakra, called the Heart Chakra, is the center of the whole system. All three lower Chakras and the three upper Chakras pass through the Heart Chakra. It is this Chakra that we learn and integrate all the Chakras. In today's video episode I will share some traditional methods for the heart chakra and also bring a modern progressive approach. What I love about the C...

In this video, I break down in detail how the third Chakra, often called the Solar Plexus chakra, works. I will use traditional explanations, modern modifications, and personal experiences to help guide you in your mind-body connection. In the 3rd Chakra, we will look at the element of fire and how this transformative and destructive force can bring balance to your life. I will give examples of ho...

Today I welcome my first guest Marie. The two of us have shared 26 years as life partners, and in this episode, Marie gives her first-hand account of how she has healed a troublesome chronic skin issue through emotional therapy. Marie tells of the story of how she confronted a lot of deep emotional trauma with her parents. And this willingness to open up the channels in her energetic field brought...

I'm excited to present and share with you today how the second Chakra works in the mind-body connection. The 2nd Chakra is often called the Sacral or in the elemental aspect as I refer to it today, it is called the water Chakra. I will explore some fundamental teachings about this Chakra but also bring in a personal experiential vibe. What I love so much about this ancient form of spiritual an...

Today we start a 7-part series on the main Chakras within the body. We look at the Chakra Systems as a whole and how they affect the mind-body connection. I will bring my experience and studies into how this first Chakra, also called the Root Chakra, governs various aspects of the body through our vibrations and general disposition. This is a brief introduction as there is a lot of information on...

Today I will share a personal story that has given me the understanding of just how reincarnation is possible. I will explain how my story and that of my mother, without prior knowledge of each other, are connected through past events before this lifetime. I wasn't someone who believed in reincarnation, but this experience I had and the unbelievable events surrounding them opened my eyes to the po...

So it is impossible for two people to enter a room and see, hear, feel, and experience the room exactly the same way. And, I mean we can only take in so many bits of information, and what we decide to focus on and delete is a by-product of our belief system to some extent. What we put faith in often guides us to how we interpret reality. Today I will give examples and get the mind thinking about t...

Have you ever heard the term 'Beginner's Mind' or even Beginner's Luck'? Today, I will take a look at the genius inside the 'Beginner's mind'. I give examples of just how intelligent being open-minded is, and actually acting like you know nothing can be a pathway to wisdom. I give personal accounts to why and how a 'Beginner's Mind' is really the gateway...

Have you ever heard about the term the 'Dark Night of the Soul'? Today I will share information about this state of being that Saint John of the Cross first coined in the 16th century. John wrote about this deeply spiritual experience, and in our modern times, so many regular people actually go through this. The Dark Night of the Soul is now a very common experience for individuals even if...

I know it might seem hard to believe, but really, who you are right now, and who I am is enough. Enough for what? Enough to be loved, to receive the spirit of love just as we are in all this brokenness, we are enough. That's breaking down the illusion. Today I will give you a simple and humble breathing exercise to practice. Often when people suffer from anxiety or a panic attack, the breathing ge...

There is sometimes a battle that happens inside us all. It is unseen and hidden behind the walls of our psyche and spirit. It's the Divine Will versus the Personal Will. This competition is a disruption. When we are aligned and working with harmony, there is no versus but rather a partnership with the Divine and the Personal. Today, I will look at my personal testimony of some life experiences...

I'm not sure if you have heard of the 'shadow self'? It is often a term used to describe a part of the self that is unconscious of its behavior. The shadow self is often a trickster that deceives us into the illusion. The ego usually projects the shadow self even if the person is unaware of their shadow self. That's why it is sometimes easier for people to see the shadow self of so...

When our minds are racing, and we feel threatened by not having enough time, we become stressed. This state of being is necessary in an emergency, but too much of the time in our modern society, we are entering the 'fight or flight' response. Our bodies and minds are connected so that we can make decisions to survive when a dangerous situation occurs. Unfortunately, the technology and abil...

So today, I am going to share some archetypes and models that explain how we defend ourselves in a relationship. I will use Barbara Ann Brennan's first book, Hands Of Light. She has a few diagrams and models on 'how we use' different defense mechanisms based on our childhood traumas. I will share my 'personal archetypes' that I defend myself with when I feel threatened. I also...

So today, I bring up how any good relationship needs freedom and vulnerability. There must be a sense of detachment to allow what is best for each person to transpire. Whether marriage or friendship, these are healthy ways to keep a relationship positive. In contrast, so many businesses try to trap and trick people and create an environment of dishonesty and fear. I challenge you and me to examine...

What is a Flow State? And how could thinking more entrepreneurially create a Flow State? Today, I will look at just what a Flow State is and how beneficial being in this headspace and mentality can be good for you. I will tie into what happens when we think like an entrepreneur and how this naturally gives way to the Flow State. I send you good vibes, and may this information provide you with the...

I am someone who has often repressed emotions. As a child, I would act like certain things didn't bother me. I shut down emotionally and would repress things. Now, Repressed is different than supressed. Suppressing an emotion is more of a conscious act than repressing. Repression of an emotion is less conscious behavior and does not allow the emotion to be released. Letting go of emotions is v...

It's a question today. Do you get your power from external forces, or do you draw it from the internal? In this episode, I explain how internal power is more reliable and ultimately more powerful than external power. I share personal experience with the two sides of power and why, in the end, having a deep connection to our internal power source is most beneficial. Blessings! MJB #mindbodyconn...

It's hard when someone we love passes on. Death is not an easy subject for most of us, but it's such a part of life. Death is required for there to be life. So why is it so hard to embrace and accept death when we know it's coming for all? Today, I share some personal dealing with death and how to embrace the transformation. I think if we took more time to have a clear strategy on deat...

So today, I break down 'What Happens When You Lie to Yourself.' Unfortunately, I have first-hand experience with the adverse effects of lying to myself. I will share personal stories and examples of how lying affected my body and even created a skin disorder, as I was ashamed of what I did. The good news is that when I decided to come clean and trust the truth, my skin cleared, and I regai...
