This point deep in behind your navel, is the most important energy center in your whole body. Keep it warm, give it love. How? To keep it warm is meant in the physical sense. If this energy point gets cold, it depletes your energy and that is never a good thing to happen. This means that you have to be careful on how you cover your body. Be sure to always cover the area of your navel.
According to energy medicine, this point holds your Self-Worth. If there is a lack of self worth, you can feel it in this point. You can also grow this self worth by harvesting energy that makes you feel better also physically. There are many ways to do this.
I just would like to point out the SpringForestQiGong exercises. By moving your hands up and down in a circular way in front of your body, you move the energy. Once you think you have moved it enough, women put their right hand inside and the left hand outside in front of the navel without touching the body. Men put the left hand inside and the right one outside. You will feel the warmth of the energy you’ve harvested and put behind the navel. This chakra stands also for your way of thinking smart, to be strong, to have a good appearance and to feel your finances in good order.
Like everything, also this chakra has a dark side which is called a demon. It stands for shame. Shame is a completely useless feeling. You do no good to yourself and you do not help anybody by feeling ashamed. So don’t get trapped into this feeling.
Like with all chakras, you can help its functions with the aid of a color, with certain stones and with sounds. Yellow stands for this help. Think yellow while moving the energy or just while you keep your hands in front of this chakra. The stones used are for example tiger’s eye, amber, yellow agate, yellow jade. You might find even others that help your chakra. The sounds “Me” or also “Ram” . You may chant them or simply say them. If you can chant them, it is even better because there will be a vibration just above the solar plexus in your diaphragm. These means all together can help you a lot to keep up the best energy, in other words just what you need to live a joyful life.

Anxiety is often connected with low self-esteem.

There are a few questions that you may ask yourself in order to ascertain whether your self-esteem is low or not.

There are many indicators that a person has a low self-esteem.

If you recognize yourself in the following statements, you probably suffer from low self-esteem. This can be overcome and I am going to show you how.

You consider yourself unworthy of being cared for; you are fearful of conflicts with others; you badly need the approval of others; fears follow you everywhere; you are insecure, anxious and nervous when you are with others. There are many other indicators. Maybe that you find them by asking yourself some questions.

If any of these statements apply to you, you better start working on yourself to be on the right track to a normal self-esteem.. You can do this by taking small and easy steps.

Affirmations are a good means but they only work if they are “felt”. This means that you put an emotion like love into the affirmations.

By doing so you can increase your self-esteem. Feel that you are worthy of being cared for. Feel that people like you, feel that others approve of what you do and who you are. When doing affirmations look into the mirror and say to yourself that you love the person you see, that is YOU. Feel the love for yourself. You deserve to be loved by yourself. To love your Self is the first step. I know that it is not the easiest one, but it is ESSENTIAL. You are a unique and beautiful person. No-one is like you. Give love to this uniqueness and say thanks for it.

Don’t fear conflicts with others. You know that what you fear will appear in your life. This is the law of attraction at work. Whatever you fear comes into your life, whatever you love comes also into your life. The choice is yours. You certainly know which serves you better.

If you live in the moment and express your love, there is no space for anxious thoughts and for insecurity and nervousness. Maybe that you feel nervous  in  the form of aggressiveness. This will come back into your life. So choose well. If you replace nervousness with calmness, you do a favor to yourself but also to your environment.

This is really the best advice I ever received. You will love what I am going to explain to you.

In fact, if you do not trust yourself, you will always be suspicious. Not only for yourself. You will not trust anybody.To trust oneself, it not only a necessity, it is the basis of living a good life.

To trust oneself means to listen to your heart’s voice.

Your heart hosts the library of life. It knows everything that helps you live a good life. And that helps you move forward.

It is possible that you don’t listen to your heart. If you suffer from anxiety, you probably do not listen to it

In fact, your heart is the guardian of unconditional love and of all wisdom.  Love and anxiety cannot exists together because anxiety is the absence of trust. If you trusted your heart, you would not feel anxiety.

Your heart is also the guardian of the major part of your energy. Can you imagine that your mind has only 10′% of the energy whereas your heart has got the remaining 90%? This means that it is your advisory board, as you would say for a company’s decisions.

If you listen to your heart, your decisions are helpful for you. They will be helpful for the harmony of all of us, including the whole world.

If, on the other hand, you just take a decision with your mind without listening to your heart, the decision might be a mistake. Your heart is the subconscious mind that does not judge. That is why listen to your heart is so crucial. Your mind might take decisions that hurt somebody, first of all you , and secondly other people or even the world.

Actually, the human, taken as an energy being, consists of three parts.

First there is the physical body that helps us carry out our tasks.

You decided to come into this world to carry out what you considered to be your tasks. That can also be your passion.

Whatever you carry out with passion, you will do it with your whole power.

The second part is your mind. Your mind takes the decisions. It has got ten percent of the power. Use it wisely.

The best is if you rely on your third part,  that is the heart. The heart contains your soul, your inner god, your unconditional love.

You can trust your heart,  listen carefully to what it is telling you. It has no judgment- Therefore, if your decisions made by the sole mind, are not wise and will not carry you forward, the heart does not tell you not to make them as it is not judgmental.

To listen to your heart is a lifelong job. In our busy world, we sometimes forget that our mind is mostly success-oriented and we will do whatever it takes to achieve success. As such success is certainly valid. If it is a success that benefits everybody, it is even more valuable. Then it will take into consideration not only the mind’s decision but also the advice of the heart.

To trust your heart’s voice, means to trust yourself because YOU reside in your heart.

This is a good question. You know why?

Anxiety is a deep-rooted feeling. It was born in your subconscious mind. It shows up under various forms. And when it does show up, it brings discomfort. People who suffer from anxiety, although the feeling is scary  and difficult to go through, sometimes are so  used to having it show up that they can’t think of not suffering it. When an anxiety attack pops up,  they suffer a lot. And sometimes the sufferance is so heavy that they fear for their life.

Other people may be of help. The mere fact of being able to speak to somebody, can be a great help for the sufferer.

For me it was always a great relief. Just the fact that there was a human being around, was a great help. However, there are people who suffer  that abuse other people’s presence. I don’t say that they do it consciously. I think it is an unconscious pattern. They feel that other people tend to protect them. And they want to be protected from the “ugly world”. They might feel as being a victim of this “ugly world” If other people help them, they never have to face the real problem behind their anxiety. Maybe that they don’t even think of it.

For them it’s just anxiety: Which is the passport to other people’s help.

These are people who don’t want to get back their health. They will always think that they are in need of help, that others have to help them. I have known people like that. Don’t talk to them about how to overcome anxiety. They don’t want to overcome it.

They probably would never admit it. But this is their reality. And they do not want to change it.

Why not? You never know, it could be dangerous. They would lose the attention of people around them. They cannot renounce this attention.

But you certainly are different. You want to live an anxiety-free life. Go and grab your copy of my ebook

You will be happy you did. It helps you overcome your anxiety for good.

Too many suicides are consumed in the world. Behind many of them there is a very low self-esteem. I am not talking about the kamikaze that kill themselves for fanaticism.

Low self-esteem in people who tend to depression or to throwing away their own life is a wide-spread disease. Strangely enough, nobody addresses low self-esteem when talking about these many people who commit suicide.

If in general, people were more aware of the sufferance of others maybe low self-esteem were less deadly.
It is the indifference with which whole communities treat their members that kills many people.
If you listen to the talks among people who know each other for many reasons, be it work, be it because they are neighbors, you may be astonished how flaw these talks are. They remain on the surface. How is the inside, the mental aspect of a person, does he or she have   fears, anxieties, doubts or panic or depression? Who is interested in these aspects of a person? Most of your neighbors are not. They have their own problems and do not want to know those of others.
A person who suffers from low self-esteem remains isolated in his/her mental torture.
If there is no help they can get from people around them, who live or work with them, their self-esteem will get lower and lower.
“Nobody wants me”: this thought will continue to appear in their life, in their, maybe, sleepless nights. This idea of being left alone becomes so strong that they tell themselves that they are nobody, in any case nobody wanted by others. Then the low self-esteem turns into deep depression and at the end, it can really be deadly.
It is important for all of us to have a good word for all people who cross our way. Sometimes just a friendly “hi” can do wonders.
Let us be the wonder in somebody’s life.

There are legions of signs of low self esteem. Many of them are not recognized so easily and often they are taken as signs of a strong character. Like in case of people who try to impose their opinion or others that cannot accept to be criticized. In most cases they are believed to be strong and, instead, their self-esteem stands on a weak ground.

However, the great number of people who really suffer because of the low value they give themselves should be helped. Not all of them want to get help. They are not worth it, that is what they believe.

Today, I had a woman who came to see me because, as she said, she had a problem with prosperity. Although she knows that money is energy and that she can attract it with her actions and thoughts, she told me that whenever she earns good money she certainly spends it in the most stupid ways, like giving it back to the authorities when she gets a traffic fine. She feels that she is not worth of the high amount  she just earned. I asked her why she felt in this way. She tried to verbalize it and finally said: it’s due to what my father told me and also my mother: I am not worth it. She might be in her fifties and the sentence pronounced by her parent while she was very young still creates her serious  problems. She often has not got enough money to pay her rent timely. Instead of paying it within the first five days of the month as our law  foresees it, she will pay it by the 13^th. She finally admitted that her self-esteem regarding money had always been very low.

Another person told me that she had announced a class she was going to give and the enrollments came it much faster and in much greater number than she had ever thought possible. The people finally enrolled were 23. Never before had she seen such a high participation in her city. She did not believe it and, in fact, only 19 showed up and paid for it. This person as well said she was not worth to earn so much money. She did not deserve it.

The signs of low self esteem are not always manifested in the field of prosperity but very often this area is also involved. Many people do not participate in social activities or social gatherings  because “they are not worth of being invited”.  Many seem not to be able to write a sentence without making mistakes . “I am not used to writing and I do not need it”.

Many others blush whenever they meet a socially higher ranked person and are afraid of approaching him or her. “He/she will never look at me. I do not deserve it”.  They are not only timid but very often this is a clear sign of  what they believe is “their unworthiness”.

All these signs could be corrected if the people had the courage to seek help. Not all do accept a word in this sense. I feel sorry for these people who feel  not adapted to their surroundings and try to hide away. Or to show off and by doing so hurting themselves.

It is not easy to live with low self-esteem but help can be found in any community. I would like to encourage people to look around and find somebody who can show them how to build up a sound self-esteem.

Is Anxiety really a Burden?

The other day I received a comment on one of my blogs ” we all have anxiety, just go over it and live your life”
If this were true, we all would be happy and singing in the rain.
For many of you, anxiety is really a burden. It is true that it has not to be one, but that is another story. It is the story
on how you overcome anxiety. We all know that anxiety can be overcome. The way to get rid of this burden, can be easy for one person and difficult for the other. It depends on how you look at things.
If you are able to  change your ways of thinking and of looking at things, you are on the right track.
Anxiety is a burden as long as you consider it to be one.Try to look at your anxiety as if  were outside of you.
At the beginning it is not so easy, I admit, but you get better and better by repeating this exercise everyday.
It will seem strange to you that you are watching yourself, I can tell you that this exercise is very powerful. I have done it again and again. Even now, when I have doubts about myself, for x reasons, I do it and then I come clear.
I highly recommend that you give it a try. You will be surprised. You will be  grateful that you discovered a way
to look at yourself and to not judge yourself. This is the big secret: you just look at yourself, and no judgment is made.
