Introduction

April 12, 1999

Wow! What a treasure this list is. I've been looking for a mind-body

connection mailing list for awhile now. Alas-here it is! Great! I hope

to learn many new things here. It's good to be aboard.

Let's see...My name is Angie. I'm 28, and I reside outside the

Philadelphia area. I'm not a body therapist, but perhaps will be in the

future. My main focus right now is unblocking my energy centers, so I

can live with health and confidence. For nearly 10 years now I've

suffered from digestive problems. Of course being the typical westerner,

I went to doctors thinking they could cure me with a pill. I'm sure most

of you realize, it doesn't work that way! It took me a long time to

understand the power to heal lies within me. My ailments weren't a

" curse " , as I once thought. It was a lesson telling me I needed to make

changes in my life. I've found yoga, chanting, and massage to be

helpful. Although to really break through, I know I need to go further.

I need to take risks and truly believe I have power. These are 3rd

chakra issues. (Digestive problems are a result of an unbalanced 3rd

chakra) Yet to unblock my 3rd chakra, it's my understanding that I need

to work on the 1st chakra first. I grew up intensely shy, and I always

had this belief, that I didn't belong. So as a part of my 1st chakra

exercise, I picture myself as a tree with my roots firmly into the

ground. I repeat again and again to myself " I belong here...I belong

here....I belong here... " It seems to help. Esp. in situations where

I'd prefer to be less than visible. Does anyone have any further

suggestions?

I assume most people here are familiar with the chakras. For those that

aren't check out- www.sacredcenters.com and/or

Anyways, thanks for listening.

p.s.- Did anyone catch Caroline Myss' workshop last weekend in

Philadelphia? If so, how was it?
