Do you trust your own inner knowing or do you listen to others instead? Located at the center of the forehead, the sixth chakra, the Third Eye Chakra, is associated with sight, intuition, imagination and psychic abilities. Through this chakra center, you can tune in to the higher self in order to receive guidance and realistically perceive and visualize the future. It vibrates with the energy of the color indigo. Emotional or mental health issues include confusion, brain fog, aimlessness and an inability to see the big picture or separate fact from fiction. Physical health issues commonly associated with the Third Eye Chakra include headaches, sinus problems, vision problems, learning disabilities and nightmares. When the Third Eye Chakra is balanced, you have the ability to think clearly and the ability to trust your own inner wisdom, along with an increase in your intuitive, telepathic and psychic abilities, including clairvoyance or clear seeing. USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA 1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position. 2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g., “I can’t concentrate and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away.” “I have a sinus headache and I know that can change. I want that pain to go away.” If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Third Eye Chakra, with a declaration such as: “I’m not as intuitive as I want to be. I want to live in the light, seeing and thinking clearly.” 3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra). 4) BREATHE – Direct your breath, inhaling with your attention on the crown of your head, exhaling with your attention below your feet. Repeat until you feel the desired result. For a complete set of Dynamind instructions, click HERE to get a preview from my upcoming book, Chakra Secrets. Namaste!

I learned Dynamind from Huna Healer Serge Kahili King, PhD. It can be used to quickly and simply resolve tension that is blocking chakras, creating physical, emotional and spiritual dis-ase. Dynamind is similar to EFT, but uses just four simple tapping movements, in concert with breath and words, to release blocked energy flow. Usind Dynamind to balance the Heart Chakra can bring forth more love and compassion in your life…. Located at the center of the chest, the fourth chakra, the Heart Chakra, represents selfless love and devotion, kindness, empathy and compassion. It vibrates with the energy of the color green. Physical health issues commonly associated with the Heart Chakra include cardiovascular problems including hypertension, stroke, respiratory ailments, upper back and shoulder pain. Emotional or mental health issues include anger or resentment, jealousy, suspicion, possessiveness, fear of commitment, lasting grief, sorrow, depression. When the Heart Chakra is balanced, you feel free to give and receive love in all its expressions – passion, caring, rapport, understanding, empathy, compassion and forgiveness. USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE HEART CHAKRA 1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position. 2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g, “I feel sad and depressed and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away.” “I have tightness and pain in my back and I know that can change. I want that pain to go away.” If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Heart Chakra, with a declaration such as:
“I’m not as caring as I want to be. I want to nurture and reach out to others like the wind blowing through the leaves of a tree.”
3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra).
4) BREATHE – Direct your breath, inhaling with your attention on the crown of your head, exhaling with your attention below your feet.
Repeat until you feel the desired result.
While simple to use, Dynamind has been found effective at releasing painful physical, emotional and mental problems. Serge Kahili King documents the use of Dyamind in his book, Healing for the Millions, available at http://www.Huna.org.

Are you fully expressing your creativity and sexuality? Located at the lower abdomen, the second or Sacral Chakra is the focal point of our emotions, sexuality and creative expression. It is an especially important chakra for women to keep in balance. It is where we connect with the Divine Feminine. This chakra governs how we relate to others and the flow of our feelings and expression in art, music, dance and living. It vibrates with the energy of the color deep orange and is associated with the element of water. Emotional or mental health issues include sexual frigidity, promiscuity, confusion or addiction. If you experience imbalance in this chakra, you may also experience co-dependency, or being either overly emotional or stoic. Physical health issues commonly associated with the Sacral Chakra include gynecological problems, urinary tract problems, stiffness or pain in the lower back. When the Sacral Chakra is balanced, you feel confident in social interactions, free to process your emotions, feel creative, and able to enjoy sex and other pleasurable activities without guilt.USING DYNAMIND TO BALANCE THE SACRAL CHAKRAThis fabulous yet so-simple healing technique is from Serge Kahili King, a Huna teacher and founder of Aloha International. 1) FOCUS – Hold your hands out in a loose prayer-like position. 2) DECLARE – Say aloud the condition you’re feeling that you would like to change, e.g., “I feel guilty and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away.” “I have a constant urge to urinate and I know that can change. I want that discomfort to go away.”If you have no symptoms to release, you can use Dynamind to strengthen the Sacral Chakra, with a declaration such as:
“I’m not as easy-going as I want to be. I want to go with the flow, like a mountain stream.”
3) RELEASE – Tap 7 times on the center of your chest, then at the point between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, and on the top bone of your spine (the 7th cervical vertebra).

PREVIEW FROM CHAKRA SECRETS: I learned an exciting, simple-yet-profound energy healing tool from Serge Kahili King, PhD, founder of the Huna group, Aloha International. Dynamind was a simplified version of the Energy Freedom Technique (EFT) and it did have similarities to it, Dr. King said. “But in Huna, we try to make things as simple as possible, as effective as possible, so we’ve combined the power of words, breath, movement and feeling into one mind-body healing technique.” Dynamind can be used to heal a wide range of physical dis-ease, it was explained. You simply stated out loud what you wanted to change – the problem, pain or discomfort – and tapped, breathed and felt it go away. King advised asking yourself what emotion was a problem, where you felt that emotion in the body, and then work on changing that physical sensation to let the healing energy of the body once again flow freely. All emotion manifests within the body with some physical “feeling.” Just as chakra imbalances can manifest in uncomfortable physical and emotional problems. So, I found myself repeating my personal problem, “I feel guilt tightening my chest, and I know that can change. I want that feeling to go away,” as I held my hands in a prayer position. Then I tapped just four spots, the heart center, the web between the thumb and first finger of each hand, and the knob at the back of my neck where it meets the shoulders. I finished with a deep breath, inhaling from the top of my head and exhaling through my feet. I learned that you could work on the physical sensations you were experiencing and watch them change as Dynamind directed your subconscious. Emboldened with my new power to direct my inner, unconscious actions, I also tried, “I feel guilt cramping my stomach and I want that to change,” and “I feel the ache of anger in my chest and I want that to change,” and watched how the physical stress ebbed away the more I used Dynamind. Huna seemed to offer the wisdom I’d been looking for. So I stayed on the Big Island. Many people, I found, come to Hawaii on vacation and are led to stay, for an extra week, or month or sometimes a lifetime. I was one of them. I didn’t even go back to California to pack up. After all, now that my hurt and disappointment were no longer part of my baggage, a few pareos and my computer were all I needed. I planned to live at the retreat center and to take as many workshops as I could in exchange for giving yoga and meditation classes. Wow, what a life.

When I injured my lower back in a skiing accident, I was pleasantly surprised that most of my physical therapist's suggestions were yoga stretches. I was able to take it from there and carefully, after a month, return to my full daily yoga routine. But even after healing, I like many others, feel pain in the injured area when under stress (when I breathe in perfume or other chemicals, which causes inflammation in my body) or when angry (see Dr. Sarno's book, Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection). Pain specialists have also just done studies showing that the brain can become habituated to feeling pain, even after an injury has healed. So, once again, I have to suggest mind-body healing techniques first, to retrain the subconscious, before undergoing more drastic medical inter- vention.
DYNAMIND The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is used by thousands, maybe millions of people around the world. But my favorite "instant" healing technique is DYNAMIND, a similar yet much simpler technique, adapted by Serge Kahili King, PhD, an expert in Huna healing and Hawaiian shamanism.
How does it work? You hold your hands in a prayer position in front of your solar plexus chakra, or navel area, say what you're feeling, e.g., "I feel stabbing pain in my lower back and I know that can change. I want that pain to go away." Then tap seven times on the center of your chest above your thymus gland, then seven times on the web between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, then seven times on your neck at the knob where it meets your back. Then, with hands back in prayer position, take a deep breath in from the top of your head and let it out the bottom of your feet.
This technique uses words, motion, breath, acupuncture points, affirmations, etc., to change your subconscious belief that your pain can't change. If one round focusing on the physical pain doesn't provide relief, work to change the emotions associated with the pain. For instance, say "I feel anger in my lower back and I know that can change. I want the anger to go away."
