WHAT’S MY MOTIVATION? Understanding others and yourself.
Have you ever felt so elated one minute and so depressed the next? How can you feel so aspirational and love the whole world in a peaceful impersonal way only to drop into a dark swirling anger when the driver ahead of you does something really stupid? How does love turn to hate and vice versa?
Is it bio-rhythms? The phases of the moon? The amount of caffeine in the cappuccino? It's all a question of, to use the old 60's hippie phrase, "Where you're comin’ from?"
The system of Energy Centres is an effective tradition of analysis, motivation and healing used around the world under many different names. These representations of the endocrine system, of glands and hormones -- sometimes called the chakras -- are the driving engines of our humanity. Understanding the function of the different Centres will give you insight into your own personal life and affairs, which can certainly be a relief and perhaps even helpful as you learn to consciously use certain Centres for certain purposes.
