A-Z April - Day 1 - A for Ascension

Yet again, I ascend the bandwagon - Thanks to my friend, philosopher, guide and soul sibling that reminded me of the challenge in the first place. I was suggested to keep it light and bright and happy and grateful for the theme. So Yes Sire - Your wish is my command and it's going to be an out and out positive month of blogging with no particular theme in place, except the vibe of Joy.
So off we go on A for Ascension.

So, Here's what I am going to harp about in my Day 1 of the A-Z challenge. It's a micro harping about my newfound spiritual side. Now, Spirituality for one thing, is a vast, wide and varied subject and that offers such a pasture for me to graze on as I muse on this topic. But on this day, I'd like to put the spotlight on the "Ascension" in a spiritual context, with special reference to the road map of our biggest instrument, the human body. The image above provides such a clear representation of the chakras of our bodies and we'll see where ascension fits in the big picture.

So the seven chakras in our bodies are strategically located from the base up co-existing with physical glands in the said real estate of the body. Such a divine design no? The first two chakras are located on the lower end - representing the lower vibrations of consumption, secretion and sexual energies. These chakras also, incidentally, represent the lower vibrations in the spectrum which associate themselves with physical gratification.

Once we reach the solar plexus, around the navel, we are on the ascension path. The upper chakras are to represent the higher vibrations of the cosmos such as creativity, love, joy, peace and bliss. As a spiritual enthusiast we are to rise our vibrations from the self gratification to the upper decks where in we realize the enormity and the Godliness of our beings. So as a aspirant of love, joy and peace, we cultivate, with much effort the ability to unearth our true selves - the divinity that resides in every living being,  the wealth we have inside of us, the same miraculous code that runs the universe, runs for us as well - but like amnesiacs, we forget it and dwell in the drama of the physical world.

The word Ascension has such an energy around it - so uplifting, rising and progressive - quite literally. Whether the spiritual road map makes sense or not - we all can aspire to rise the collective vibration of the planet by cultivating the positive, loving and giving vibrations of love peace and joy. As 'rocket science' like as this sounds, it is very very simple and implementable.
The next time we are tempted to snap and vent out, let us take a moment to reflect on that emotion and let it go and be replaced with an ascended vibe.

It's all as simple as it gets. Just be aware. Ascend, aspire!!

God speed!
