Whatever feelings we may be experiencing from someone who we feel have hurt us (this can include ourselves), the next step in bringing resolution and release to those emotions is often forgiveness or compassion. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for me.

There's been one word that's been popping up for me lately: Support. One definition of support is to bear all or part of the weight of; hold up. I've been reflecting on what this word means to me. In certain areas of life I feel extremely supported and in other areas I feel that there could be more support. Support can show up in many ways in our life and can come from many different people and things. We can use a block, blanket, or bolster to support us in our yoga practice. We can use technology to support us in waking up on time. We can receive support from trusted friends and family to lend an ear or to speak an encouraging word. 

The Seventh Chakra is located at the top of our head. It completes the seven main chakra energy points along the body. It is our right to know and to learn. It is where our connection to spirituality takes place, and our ability to understand people and life in general. It connects us to our higher consciousness and the most effective way to strengthen the seventh chakra is through meditation. The seventh chakra is all about realizing our true nature. What blocks us from experiencing our true nature is attachment. Attachment to people, material items, beliefs, habits, rewards, money, and the list goes on. Attachment finds us focused more on the outer self rather than focusing on turning inward.
