Who Are You? Part 1 — Full webinar with Michael Adamedes

0:00Thank you for tuning in to tonight's webinar. Tonight's webinar will be a little bit different from the other webinars in that I've pre-recorded it and it'll run for 48 minutes. At the end of the recording I'll be available for questions.

0:19Do list your questions as the webinar is playing so that they're available and you don't forget and look to talk to you after the webinar, after the presentation. So enjoy. Welcome, this is the first presentation in the spiritual series and I'm very excited

1:08to be presenting the spiritual series. In this particular presentation there are two parts. The first part is about the energetic system of the body and the second part is the special case, the chakras of the body.

1:23There'll be Christian time again in the presentation and if you want to watch any of the previous presentations go to the website mitilatomeddies.com. That will be available for a short period of time and then you can also join our membership group and watch all the extra videos.

1:47So welcome and just before we commence I have some logistics, firstly turn off your phone, I have a notebook pen handy, a glass of water if you need it and the presentation with questions should go for approximately an hour. But just before I commence I'm going to do a centering exercise and this will give you the

2:11chance to go and do things if you need to get the water all pens and paper. So just starting spine straight, head erect, eyes gently closed and just let everything go and feel your body making contact with the surface beneath you and take your awareness to the sounds around you.

2:54The sounds outside of the room, traffic noise, sound of people and the sounds in the room sound of any people, the sound of my voice and the sound of your breath. And to do two really long slow inhales and exhales through the nose and return your attention to the screen.

4:10So welcome again and the title of the presentation is Who Are You? And for me it's been a journey of self discovery. Many years ago I went to university, I started a science degree doing biology, chemistry, mathematics and then I found I didn't like that and I swapped to economics and accounting

4:33and I didn't really like that either. But my father at the time said if you swap again I won't fund your university education so I completed the degree at that time in economics. But I was very much invested in the traditional view of life in that we're physical bodies.

4:57We're here to work and make money, have a family and get on with our lives. And that's a very important thing anyway, that's a good thing to do. But as far as I met a physical perspective I really didn't have a metaphysical perspective and I thought I was going to be a business man and make lots of money.

5:19That's what it was all about. And then with my wife who I met at university we decided to go overseas and this was back in 1978 and we went through a whole lot of different things to Europe and then to Morocco.

5:34And while in Morocco I met this remarkable man. His name was Hamid Sufi and this was in February of 1978. And after spending a couple of months with him and his wife and four year old child, his name was Boo, it completely changed my whole life.

5:55And this guy was remarkable. He was dressed in white. He had nothing but the clothes on his back. His wife was German and she was blonde, blue-eyed.

6:07He was a negro from Harlan, New York. It used to be a jazz musician and had a four year old child. And the man was remarkable. And through talking to him and connecting with him over the two months that we were together,

6:23my whole life just flipped. I came back to Australia and I thought no, I can't go back to that conventional world. I'd have gone to go and try something else. So I kind of shopped my parents, dropped out and went up to Nimbin and just outside of

6:40a place in Nimbin, Nimbin is a community, a town in Northern New South Wales and it's very alternative. And just outside there there was a place called Barca's Vale and there was a commune and I joined the commune.

6:55After spending about six months there I realised, no, this isn't a state. This isn't really what I'm looking for and I decided to leave. It took me another six months to get out. And in that time the only people that seem to make sense were these people dressed in orange

7:13robes, shaved heads and had all these weird sounding names. And they were a Hindu group and they were called Sinyasans and I thought, wow, these guys are making sense but I'm not really sure this is it. But my wife felt very connected to it and after a while I also felt connected and then

7:35we became part of that community and I was involved for a short period of time probably a couple of years and then one day the head guru came out to Australia and I went and had a private interview and I said to him, bummer gee what should I do? And he went into a trance, he was gone for a few minutes, a few seconds, came back and said

7:59your place is in the world, you shouldn't be here. And so the next week I left and then I became a youth counsellor and eventually became a therapist and now nearly 40 years later, teach personal development courses and it's is journey of understanding who am I, who am I, what is this?

8:20Yes I am a physical body, I do have emotions, I do have a mind but there's something more than that and in this journey I can say I've discovered a big piece of the puzzle and there's still more to discover but let me tell you my story and the way I see who we are. 15 billion years ago or 15,000 million years ago there was this event called the Big Bang

8:54and science says before the Big Bang there was nothing and then after the Big Bang formed instantaneously the universe appeared. So to try and get my head around that I'm thinking well here I am I'm about to be born and before I'm born there's no hospital, there's no doctor, there's no mother or father,

9:21I don't even exist and then at the moment of my birth suddenly everything turns up, here's the hospital, here's the doctor, here's my mother, here's my father and boom we continue and so in the scientific literature they're saying you know some immediate few seconds after the Big Bang there was a huge amount of energy and then eventually this energy started

9:44to coalesce and became matter and then some millions and years of years later atoms and the solar system formed and then it took 15 billion years for human life to exist on planet earth and it's like wow what isn't that miraculous, one minute there was nothing and next minute here we are and so with this idea of like the big bang thing I feel with setup

10:23and in this field we have energy and matter and space and time and this is the principle of relativity and we're talking we live in this field of space time continuum and we've metered energy and sitting inside of this is the periodic table and within this continuum of time space energy and matter there are these elements and these elements come together

10:54and form molecules and they combine to create cells and then the cells become tissues and membrane and from that organs and form and eventually we have the human body and the human body in effect is a series of systems and one of the most basic systems is the skeletal system and this system has probably worked out many thousands of years ago the ancient

11:25Egyptians have a history of understanding the skeleton and the body because they embalmed pharaohs and also their nobility and the ancient Greeks also were very familiar with setting bones and healing people and fixing things so from a everyday western medical perspective the idea of the skeletal system and its understanding has hundreds and thousands of years

11:54of history behind it so it's very well understood the next system that we work with is the muscular system and with this muscular system it's like these tendons that connect the muscle tissue to the bone and with that it enables us to move and hold our body together so the entire muscular system is another system that exists within the human form and

12:28that was probably also worked out many hundreds of years ago because medical practitioners in the Middle Ages would go and find cadavers dead bodies and exhume them or recover them from a hospital or something and perform a surgery they would cut them up and have a look at and autopsies and be able to understand how they'll put together the other system of the body is

12:59the viscera and the viscera are the specialised organs and we're looking at the lungs and the heart and the larynx and the liver and the stomach and intestines and the genitals also the brain and so these are another system that exists within the body the another system that also exists is the cardiovascular system and that's made up of veins and arteries and the veins carry nutrients and oxygen to

13:34the cells and the arteries are in the toxins and carbon dioxide from the cells so the human body in a sense is a community of more than 50 trillion cells and each cell is an individual entity and so the systems of the body are designed to take nutrients and oxygen to those individual cells and to remove the carbon dioxide and waste products from those cells and in any one day millions of cells are created and also

14:10millions of cells are destroyed a more you know a more complete understanding of this idea of the cells and how they work comes from the work of a man called Bruce Lipton and he has a wonderful book the biology of belief and he's also got another book that he wrote which is spontaneous evolution and both these books give a much more detailed and scientific explanation of how the cellular structure works and the way in

14:45which these cells are in individual distinct entities and the other system is the nervous system and the nervous system is in a sense the wiring diagram of the body and it's the way in which we're able to feel sensations and commands to different parts of the body open and close our fists move our feet and do all these sort of things but we're more than a physical body the modern scientific view is that we are in a

15:20fact a human robot with organic parts that we're out and can be replaced by other organic parts or organic parts so that we're in a sense a very sophisticated organic machine but we're more than this that is part of who we are and that is an aspect of us but that is not a thought explanation of who we are the next slide shows the energetic system of the body and in the energetic system of the body there are fundamentally

15:55three parts if you can look closely at the screen you may see these lines with little dots on them going up and down the arms and down the legs and all this and they are the meridians and the ancient Chinese map these meridians some 2000 years ago and the ancient Indians map these meridians some 5,000 years ago so these are the energetic these are ways in which energy can flow through the body as opposed to nerd nerves where it's kind of an

16:32electrical signal and the energy that runs is called chi or prana chi is the Chinese explanation of it word and the prana is the Indian understanding of it and and so through the manipulation of the meridians and working with our pressure points and the particular pressure points in the body we're able to bring about healing release tension and toxins and support and help people and so this has a massive history to it and a

17:11tremendous amount of evidence behind it the next illustration is a more detailed explanation of the the meridians and how they flow them where they're being mapped when we go back to that first illustration and look at that image you can see there's more than just the acupuncture meridians there's also these kind of light things that go down through the middle of the body and they're called the chakras and these chakras were also identified some

17:52thousands of years ago by the ancient Indians and also by the ancient Chinese and these represent energetic points within the body the chakra system of the body and the chakra system of the body fundamentally has seven chakras in the the basic system there are some systems that have more 12 and 19 other systems have less and some systems include other acupuncture points and even talk about hundreds but the basic energetic system the

18:30basic chakra system in the body is seven the seven of these and these seven chakras actually represent six plugs the bottom six plug the energetic body into the physical body and the top chakra connects the whole organism both the energetic body and the physical body to something greater in the next illustration is an image of the aura but if we go back to that original image you can see that in this image you

19:11have this row of energy centers running up through the body and then you have this light that surrounds the body and this light that surrounds the body is called the aura and this aura is your energy body and the energy body is attached to the physical body via the chakras and the bottom six chakras connect the energy body to the physical body this is a big deal so you are both a physical body and an energy body and the understanding of this energy body is

19:57extremely important and coming into connection with it is extremely important the this illustration that you're looking at at the moment is a energy body of a healthy person and if someone who doesn't have any ailments and their energetic system is flowing perfectly and it could liken it to a battery so for this particular type of person what you do what you eat and how you think is going to have an effect on the charge in the

20:39battery how much power you have in the battery and the strength or the vitality of the battery so the battery can slowly lose its and have less and less ability to hold charge and even if it normally has a strong charge on occasion can lose it because the person has become sick and the energy is depleted when I was in Morocco in 1978 and I met this man Aham and Sufi I believe that particular person had a different energy system altogether this is the energy system of an enlightened master and in this one that person is connected to the mainframe

21:27the amount of energy that's available to this person is significantly different you could think that in the first illustration of the energy system this person is like a battery so what you eat what you do and how you think is going to have an impact on the strength of the battery and the charge in the battery and say let's say that person has 240 volts available to them if we look at the next one this person is connected to the mainframe and it's a completely different game it's a completely different story because the energy that they're receiving is coming from a place and because of that it doesn't matter so much what they do and what they think and how they behave

22:24because they're being fed from somewhere else but when someone has reached that level they just wouldn't do anything that wasn't in integrity and that wasn't really sustaining and maintaining energy purely because it just wouldn't feel right so there is no internal conflict about doing things that were okay but this is the energetic system of an enlightened master in the next one I'll show you the energetic system of the universe and the energetic system of the universe is this one it's called the universal mind lattice or the field another way of thinking of that you could actually call it God and so it's like this if I was thinking what is God God is a field of intelligence

23:23when you're looking at someone who is an enlightened master with their energetic field connected they're connected to the field they're part of the field they're being fed by the field if we look at the average person we are like a battery and we have an energy field an energy umbrella or an energy envelope that surrounds our physical body and connects us this energy body that's connected to the physical body in traditional literature is called the soul this is the part of us that if our physical body goes this part of us continues and there's been a lot of misunderstanding with the soul and spirit and religious talk and so most people think it's a lot of nonsense but behind that there's a huge truth

24:29and this is a truth that the great masters like Jesus and Buddha and Muhammad and a lot of the Buddhist saints and Zen masters all talk about to connect to the energetic body and then through connecting and clearing and purifying the energetic body we then change our energetic field and we are linked to the main frame we are linked to the greater energy of the universe and this greater energy of the universe is the field in which we live in it's the field that sustains us and helps us and enables us to have life and meaning and purpose and the way in which most of us are conditioned today is to think about us as being purely physical beings and this energetic component, this soul component, this auric component that's connected to us is seeing to be a fantasy that is catastrophic for our thinking because if we are purely physical beings then how our life experience is going to unfold will be determined by the physical circumstances around us

25:57so the environment that we live in the weather, the natural environment, the economic environment, the social environment and if other people are controlling those things then we are fundamentally victims to a circumstance we find ourselves there but once we make a connection to this energetic component of us the whole game is different suddenly another dimension, another power comes in you are not your physical body, you are not your emotions, you are not your mind, you are not your behaviours they are part of you, you are something more, you are part of this energetic self and this energetic self is ultimately the destiny that you need to become conscious of and in the connection to this energetic self another realm of opportunity and possibility becomes available to you

27:06and the journey is to connect and be connected to the energetic self you can go one way, you can go too far for instance you get many people who have only a metaphysical perspective and denigrate the physical and think it grows and not okay that doesn't work many people even more people think the physical is the only reality we have and that the metaphysical is a fantasy and this is something that people have taken on in order to comfort themselves this is what people start to believe as they get older because they begin to lose control of themselves and the environment they find themselves in and this gives them some hope but even though they may think it's a false hope but there's a reality here there's a truth to this energetic system and I've been blessed in my life to have met six people who are permanently connected in the way of a master where this energetic system is fully in alignment

28:17and it was quite remarkable and shocking when I first met this man, Hamid in Morocco in February of 1978 because he had nothing but the clothes on his back is this big tall dark guy and he's dressed in white, his wife is blonde blue-eyed and just gorgeous and this beautiful child and they had nothing but the clothes on their back they're living out of the back of a camper van on a beach, tag as a beach in Morocco on the Atlantic coast and it was like a king, he had everything. I was with him as I said for two months and if he needed something he would just think of it, he might say look I think it would be good to get a new gel aba which is a kind of a coat thing with a hood that you put over your clothes to keep you warm and the one that he had was the wrong sort and he was looking for a different one and from the whole the next day someone came and gifted him to one for him and one for his wife.

29:25We now had been asked on another occasion other people came at offering him things and so he wasn't asking for anything but the being the city held, things just manifested in came whereas I've met others who also have this energetic field and are very successful and they have following of hundreds of thousands of people and are in effect multi-millionaires and are able to do whatever they want to do basically. At that level those people are usually of service to the world around and supporting other people but our ultimate destiny is to connect to our energetic body, to become familiar with this energetic body and then to cleanse and heal and in doing that we have a transcendent element. From this energetic body it's connecting to the field this is where the miracles occur, this is where the x-factor takes place and so this is your destiny, this is our destiny and the connecting to the field is an evolutionary destiny that everyone's going to experience whether they experience it consciously or unconsciously.

30:48The last three illustrations those energy illustrations come from a book called Sacred Mirrors and it was drawn and written by Alex Gray, I highly recommend the book you can buy it online and it's excellent book and has a lot more illustrations and a lot more explanations than what I have just explained. But the key thing from all of this is this next bit. In physics we have this idea the first law of thermodynamics and in that it says energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can be changed from one form to another but it cannot be created or destroyed.

31:36The total amount of energy and matter in the universe remains constant merely changing from one to another. That's a remarkable idea. All the energy that ever existed or ever going to exist is here right now. All the energy that can't do existence at the time of the Big Bang still sits here now.

31:59We can't create new energy, we can't destroy energy, we can't create new matter, we can't ultimately destroy matter. All we can do is transfer it from energy to matter or different types of energy or different types of matter. That's all we're doing but that principle also applies for life because life energy cannot be created or destroyed. It is merely changes for.

32:33So this energetic body that sits around your physical body cannot be destroyed. This energetic body that represents an element of view has existed from the time of the Big Bang and I don't know how long it will continue to exist. This part of you is the part of you that ultimately is immortal. So when you're here in the spiritual literature and scriptures and they talk about the immortal body and all this sort of stuff,

33:07they're really talking about the life energy or the sole component of the view. Yes the physical body has a beginning, a middle and an end and I'll have so many years of life on the physical plane and it will come to an end. But this energetic body will disengage, let go of those six chakras and move and connect to the Akashic records and I'll talk more about that in the next presentation and spend the time integrating and then when the time, when it's fully integrated, we'll come back and reconnect to a physical body and it will continue this journey in and out of bodies until its life lesson is complete.

33:53The Buddhists say the mind you have died on is the mind you will be reborn into meaning the conditioned pattern, the thinking that you hold will remain with you after you live. And this conditioned pattern of thinking will come back with you in your energetic body and be back in the new body and go through a similar version of experience that you had previously. Unless you change the way you perceive the way you are being and the way your mind works, then that whole energetic body is different. And if there is no holding pattern in the energetic body, if there is no programming of the mind, if there is no attachment to outcomes and beliefs, then you don't need to come back into this human experience, the journey takes you somewhere else.

35:01And this is in effect an education system, a learning process. It's a womb of consciousness, it's where human consciousness evolves and unfortunately in the evolution of human consciousness at this point in our history, most of the evolution is occurring through significant pain. And the time is coming when if we can bring enough awareness to it, that can change. It no longer needs to be this difficult painful experience called life.

35:40We can go back to the garden of Eden where it becomes this place of harmony and peace and joy and love with the people around us. And in effect we've almost got to create that garden of Eden within ourselves, this place of peace and harmony so that we are free and clear within our energetic bodies so that in the time of leaving the physical body, it doesn't have to come back and come back into another learning experience by coming into another human body again. So the importance of the energetic body is that it is the place where you are able to ultimately manifest and create very much a different reality as to what you find at this moment and it represents a part of you that cannot die. and awareness of consciousness and essence of you that is ultimately immortal.

36:44The attachment to the physical body is one of the greatest causes of pain, one of the greatest causes of suffering. And it's recognizing yes the physical body is important. The physical body is something that I must protect, love, look after, nourish, cherish and be proud of, but at the same time it does not represent me. It is not who I am. I haven't identified with my physical body. I haven't identified with my psychological and emotional conditioning.

37:21I am something more than this. I am something that is transcendent. I am something that goes beyond and that transcendent part of me enables me to ultimately be free and find peace. That is as much as I want to talk about regarding that part of the energetic body. Now with part 2 I'd like to give you a little bit more detail about the chakras. So this is the second section. It's on the chakras and I'd like to talk about the chakras in greater detail.

38:00What we have are these seven energetic centers that exist in the body. The first one is sitting at the base of the spine called the base chakra. This base chakra is to do about survival, about being okay to be in your physical body and feeling safe on the planet, feeling safe to be here. Being in this physical experience and so base chakra is all about feeling strong and grounded and connected here.

38:37It also has a major effect impact on connecting to your mother and how your initial birth experience affected you. And how your mother felt about you being here and being able to support you and protect you. So base chakra is a big thing. The next one is the sacral chakra and sacral chakra is all about its four finger widths below the belly button and it's about sensuality and sexuality and it's feeling safe to be passionate and enjoying pleasure and having a sensitivity to pleasure and passion.

39:25So this is your sacral chakra. So if this gets out of balance it can often mean that there's some form of sexual dysfunction or an inhibition that's occurring and so sacral chakra. People can have sexual issues, not because there's a block in the sacral chakra but because there could be a block in the heart about feeling safe to love and receive or it could be something in the solar plexus around feeling resent. So the second one is the solar plexus. The third one is the third one is the solar plexus. The second one is the sacral chakra. So with the solar plexus it's here above your belly button and between the diaphragm.

40:14And this is your emotional centre. This is the place of your will and your ability to push things through things and feel strong and having a certain certainty around what you want. So it's your will and your emotions and if people have a block in the sacral chakra often what it means is they're not even aware of their feeling state. It's possible to feel angry and not know that you're angry and then your anger comes out in some trivial way because you're upset because someone didn't do something the way you wanted them to do. And when you think about it well what am I getting upset that you know the car wasn't parked properly or the chair wasn't put back properly but sometimes people can get quite upset about that and that's because there's a lot of

41:10of repressed, unexpressed or unfelt emotion sitting here in the solar plexus. So this is also a reason why people have a tendency to put a lot of weight around their solar plexus because they're blocking the capacity of their ability to feel because it's so uncomfortable to feel and they're trying to stay safe. The next one is the heart chakra and the heart chakra sits in the middle of the chest here and it's to do with giving and receiving and feeling okay to give and receive. Well people who are in this sort of work and interested in this sort of work the issue usually isn't in giving the issue is usually in receiving and so is it okay to receive and do I feel worthy am I deserving and to drop stories around being selfish and it's not okay.

42:15So this ability to receive and very often women have a major issue in receiving because they have a major issue in trust it's not safe to trust and it's not uncommon for women to have you know more women will have breast cancer than men because women have been taught in our society to give give give nurture nurture nurture. But they haven't also been taught to receive and allow themselves to be nurtured and also they may have had experiences in childhood with their mother and their father where mother didn't feel safe and didn't feel that she was being understood or loved or nurtured. And so receiving is a big deal certainly heart chakra. The next one is the throat chakra is all about communication and self expression.

43:14So it's literally to do with being able to say or speak what you believe and it's also your ability to manifest and create in the world. And then you live your dream live your life purpose are you able to have a life that really gives you what you want are you living the mission or the purpose that you believe is most important for you. This comes out of throat chakra in say Western society the two chakras that tend to be most blocked I throat chakra because we're not really living for ourselves we're living for other people or other things. And the other one is solar plexus chakra because we're taught to be good don't express yourself don't feel just get on with it.

44:07And you're hurting well let it be okay just push it down now it's not saying that you have to be a drama queen where you're constantly being emotional but it is saying that if you are experiencing an emotion you're aware of it and then you can have a choice around it. The throat chakra again is about expression and being able to speak your truth being aware of what your truth is and living your truth. And if this is out of balance it will have an effect between your physical body and your energetic body you will lose energy and motivation and power in your ability to create in some way. The last chakra as far as chakras are concerned is the brown chakra and the brown chakra sits in the middle of the fire basically and this is to do with awareness with understanding with rational thought with telepathy with people being able to just know and perceive and understand things.

45:18And so the brown chakra is a very powerful chakra in understanding and being able to plan and make the world work. In our society for many people the brown chakra is very highly developed we encourage that we're encouraged to think to be rational to be in the mind and in fact we've been discouraged from being in our heart chakra which is to receive to be present and to be here now without a need for rational thinking or actually needing to do. But the brown chakra is important and everything needs to be imbalanced.

46:01So those six chakras the base chakra the sacral chakra the solar plexus chakra the throat chakra the heart chakra the throat chakra and the brown chakra those six are the plugs the plug your energy body your aura into your physical body the seventh one which is coming up here now is the crown chakra and the crown chakra is all about the entire organism being able to connect to the world or the universe around you. And this is the chakra that spontaneously opens when these are the six are in alignment and when you're looking at the chakras all these energy centers. They can either be in balance under energized or over energized and the idea is to bring them into being energized and the word chakra actually comes from Sanskrit which is an ancient Indian language which means spinning wheel it's the spinning wheel.

47:15When the ancient yogis were sitting in meditation and they were going inward and they were examining their bodies they could see a energy vortex in that part of their body and from that energy vortex they were able to understand the characteristics of the how that connection between their physical body and their energetic body. And this is part of the destiny that we have to be able to connect to the mainframe to the energy field that sits around us. So the importance of the chakras is it's another way to heal ourselves it's another way to cleanse ourselves and it's through working with the particular energetic centers that we understand what may be psychologically emotionally blocked and it also enables us to connect to this energetic field around us. It also gives us more vitality and more power.

48:35So the journey of healing ourselves is behind us as the Buddha said the middle path we need the physical psychological understanding our diet exercise the way we think and how we act they all need to be in harmony and then to understand that this energetic self exists and this other part of us is this miraculous creative side that can suddenly put us in a place that we would never have expected and save us from a catastrophe and give us opportunities that were completely unexpected. And as we work through the energy systems of the body we empower this energetic field and we enable ourselves to be more focused and concrete and ultimately healthier and happier. So we are both a physical body and an energetic body and this energetic body cannot die and this part of you the soul this energetic body has existed for millennia and will exist for whatever length of time into the future.

49:54And we'll continue to come in and out of the human experience until such time as the lessons that we require to learn in the human experience have been learned. And so this is a blessing it's a blessing and a joy that's been given to us. It's a blessing to be human to be in this body to experience this world and for us to empower ourselves and to be in harmony. And our direction needs to be focused on the highest aspect of yourself focus on being at peace, saying yourself in harmony and staying at the highest point of connection and regardless of what's taking place out there that will come and that will go. But who you are is more than your physical body more than your emotions more than your mind it's something far more magnificent and I honor your magnificence.

51:12And so the next webinar will be on Tuesday the 18th of August and it's part two in the who are you series and it's about where it did become from and where are we going. and I think it's a bit more explanation behind that and if you think someone would benefit from these presentations you're welcome to invite them they just need to go to the website like later medius.com and register. We can join the members group for five dollars and watch all the past presentations and they're on the website and tonight's presentation will be uploaded to the website by tomorrow evening and come along and have a look and we know about to go into questions but just before we do I'd like to thank radian for the market. And we're on the marketing production and web design and also air on for the camera sound and lights and to remind you three three knows bringing you into.

52:37present time awareness balancing the left and right hemisphere of the brain calming the metabolism and the whole body. So. Let's go to questions thank you. Hi everyone thanks for watching the presentation that's a bit of an experiment we're playing with and.

53:22We'll just keep improving the quality of it and the whole presentation I hope you enjoyed it I've got one question at the moment from john he says thanks Michael how would someone know they're hitting in the right direction in connection to the field look. it's in heading in the right direction in this instance isn't really a physical thing you're not there's nowhere physically to go you can't be lost the fact that you'll ask the question that you are seeking you are trying to understand means immediately you're heading in the right direction. really means that you wish to improve you wish to learn and that. you're trying to understand the meaning of what life is all about so that's easy if that's a big question.

54:18it's a big subject you know this whole thing. It the you know we are more than a physical body we are this energetic body and in the next presentation i'm going to talk more about where the energy body has. is not come from but where it's going and to some extent this piece the next piece of our destiny and what our life is about. here's a net how do you unblock the solar plexus.

54:50number of ways you could go to the gym and do physical exercise and really strengthen your core that will help unblock it. you could do sounding you could be screaming and sounding and pushing into the. solar plexus area massage could help. the simple thing would probably be physical exercise do a bit of physical exercise and do a bit of stomach strengthening.

55:23and that would be probably the best way solar plexus is about emotions and feelings and it's also about your will being will fall. just with the chakras is you can the energy of the chakra can be down or the energy can be over it can be over energized or under energized so rather than blocking what you're really saying is balancing the chakra. and you don't have any will with your chakra is over energized if it's to do with solar plexus and you've got too much will get too will for you to pushy and you need to back off a bit so it's a balance in the solar plexus chakra. usually solar plexus chakra is out of balance when you're starting to put on a bit of weight around that area that's a general rule.

56:20but I would be doing physical exercise primarily you can do psychological work but it's a bit complicated to explain over over you know just this discussion you you would have to go and see someone physical exercise. Lynn what do you think about crystal beds I don't really know enough about crystal beds you know crystals. I'm highly energetic and they can support your energy field they tend to magnify so you know I'm sure there's some benefit in crystal beds but I would really know sorry Lynn. Tracy love this Michael the slide about life energy really tied everything together for me I have aging parents and there's so much comfort to be drawn from realizing that life energy just transcends.

57:16The question is when we have lost someone what is the best way to connect with their energy. Have a photo album get a photo of that particular person put it somewhere like a little candle and then just start talking to them you'll be surprised. Your intent will create the connection and the fact that you have an image of them makes it easier for you to connect to them. Thanks Tracy and it thank you Michael my pleasure in it.

57:55Would you would like to answer this question live. Thank you Michael you would like to answer this it must be an audio I'm not sure how these were. You might have to do it again and write about because I can't access the. The audio of your question John.

58:22So can you describe how one may feel if their chakras are completely balanced. Come peaceful it feels normal young kids usually have their chakras completely balanced. You can go into ecstasy and have all these sort of things, but if someone's constantly open and the chakras are fully balanced just being alive and happy is an all state of affairs. So it only feels ecstatic from a depressed state if you're already at a very relaxed very clear place.

59:11Being clear just feels normal and joyful it feels easy think of kids thinking young kids, particularly young kids under the age of five and that's how it is so. When your chakras are balanced you just feel happy and normal. The Lynn yes I agree I love that this too that has never been too late to change your ways and thoughts and so thank you Lynn. John is just saying thank you and Cecilia how do you know when your chakras are out of balance.

59:53Is scientific whether she get to what don't worry about the chakras being out of balance all you need to worry about or not even worry all the need to think about is is my life working am I able to achieve what I need to achieve and your chakras are kind of technical thing. And we can get blinded by the science of it just focus on making the everyday work work on your career work on your physical health and work on your relationship and if necessary you know look at your finances if these things are in place you're okay. You know the real science of working on your chakras and things if you come and do a course but you don't need to just make things in everyday life work that's all you need to get to caught up in the science solid. How do you balance the throat chakra best way to balance the throat chakra is join a choir and start singing singing will help balance your chakra your moving the energy through your throat.

61:09That's the simplest way without going through a whole psychological story and trying to work out the psychology of why I got blocked and what it all represents the simple thing is start singing singing the shower singing in the choir singing in the choir is fabulous because how many of the group really support you. Thank you, a non-list how do you connect to your heart no one heart from receiving have to go from mind to heart. One of the ways you go from my heart if you could say this affirmation everyone listening could say this affirmation take a deep breath. I am now learning to be kind gentle and patient with myself the best way to open your heart chakra is to stop self criticism.

62:16Don't make yourself wrong things are happening because they are you know I'm doing the best that I know how I could do better but what I'm doing is okay I'm okay self acceptance is the best way to open your heart chakra. I am reflex out there make me okay and out there will be okay so the best way to open your heart chakra is to be kind gentle and patient with yourself to accept yourself. I accept myself even if I feel lost and confused I accept myself even if I make a mistake and think I failed I accept myself just the way I am. the next one is.

63:11Rita the Hindu philosophy explains the big bang yugas and then and then all ending in the silence of God then all starts again how is the concept of learning and evolving work in this concept. Thanks Michael. But it's you know I'm not 100% sure about your question Rita but basically you know life is a progression and we seem to go around and around and around and as we do where. we're learning more and more we could go.

63:53You know an example could be where it worked and we have a particular job maybe learning how to. Market or something and then in that that situation we've learnt certain skills and certain levels of understanding and that phase that completes and then another phase opens and we go back into marketing again and then this time around we learn a more subtle more important and important but a deeper. level of of what marketing means how to communicate connect to people how to fulfill their needs or to identify their needs. And so the cycle of going in and out and learning and changing is really a process of growth and things becoming more subtle and greater understanding.

64:41There is a point where as far as humans are concerned in our human journey we do feel and complete this the need for being here as a human and the lessons that you have to learn and then we progress to another state. So the journey seems to be one of repeating the lesson better to hire and hire level. So I'll try and net that's the last one I don't know how to open your thing in there. It says a question it's got a little speaker there.

65:20I don't know how you open it so I can't really answer the question. So if you were to write it out and yet I can answer it but other than that I can't see how to answer it. So look basically finish. Thank you very much.

65:35Thank you for being part of the presentation. So presentations in future are going to be pre recorded. The purpose of us doing that is hopefully to improve the quality and improve the presentation and also to develop a library of these talks and this information so it can be available for other people to watch. So the next one is in a couple of weeks time.

66:05It's on the who am I and where am I going and it's a deeper understanding and just adding more about the spiritual essence of who I am. So I hope you'll join us. One more last question it's from Nick, Nick, Neil, and she says I go forward sometimes then regrets. How do you start regression?

66:34It seems a constant battle for me. Thanks Michael. Well look it's not regression. It's not.

66:40What it is is you have to understand the concept of a trend line and a cycle. So you're cycling up and down on a trend. So even though you're going up and down, you're ultimately moving upwards and you just need to redefine yourself. You can't regress.

66:59Regresses just a perspective. What's happening is you're not happy with who you are or what's occurring at this moment. Sometimes you're happy. Sometimes you're not happy.

67:09When you're not happy you interpret that as a regression. Everything has something to teach you. The most important thing for you to do is accept yourself as you are and accept your journey and understand that you're, you know, a work in progress and it's okay and you're okay and this thing will work itself out. And there is no battle.

67:33The battle is really a story in your head about failure or not being good enough and it's all nonsense. You can't fail. You're just not fulfilling expectations that you've taken on. And if you can recognize those expectations and let those expectations go, then you can move forward with less stress.

67:55You still want to evolve and grow. You still want to achieve, but you don't have to make it a battle. I don't have to see yourself as regressing and just be kind, gentle and patient with yourself. Thank you for the question. Lata, thank you so much, Michael.

68:13Really insightful. I appreciate it. Thank you guys. Really appreciate this.

68:17Thank you for watching. And if there's anyone else you think may benefit, please invite them to watch as well. Have a wonderful fortnight catch up with you in a couple of weeks. Okay.
