SUNDAY-The Law of Pure Potentiality
MONDAY-The Law of Giving
TUESDAY-The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect
WEDNESDAY-The Law of Least Effort
THURSDAY-The Law of Intention and Desire
FRIDAY-The Law of Detachment
SATURDAY-The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life
Everyone has a purpose in life . . . a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.
I will put the Law of Dharma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
1. Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.
2. I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the lives of others.
3. I will ask myself daily, “How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.
The Chakras are said to be “force centers” or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a love heart). Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies. Seven major chakras or energy centers (also understood as wheels of light) are generally believed to exist, located within the subtle body.
The following seven primary chakras are commonly described:
The Eight Limbs of Yoga
Yama (Restraints or Abstinence)
Niyama (Observances or Disciplines or Devotion)
Pratyahara (Retraction of the Senses)
Dharana (Fixation of Attention)
Dhyana (Devotion, Fusive Apprehension)
Samadhi (Fully Integrated Consciousness)

I love arm balancing! Whether it is prepping in Chaturanga Dandasana or Parsva Bakasana- Side Crane Pose, I love the uniqueness and patience these asanas require.
Here is my favorite pose of the moment. Though, I am not an expert on it yet, I love busting it out all the time. Plus it makes for a great party trick!

The Sanskrit name for the 7th chakra is “Sahasrara”, meaning “thousandfold.” The 7th chakra is represented by a 1000-petaled lotus, which symbolizes the infinite nature of this chakra, connecting us with the Divine.
The 7th chakra is located at the crown of the head and serves as the crown of the entire chakra system, symbolizing the highest state of enlightenment. The function of the 7th chakra is connection with the infinite. In art, Christ is depicted with a halo around his head. This could represent the awakened spirituality of the 7th chakra.
The element of the 7th chakra is thought/cosmic consciousness. The mind creates our belief systems that control our thoughts and actions.
Gland/part of body associated with the 7th chakra:
The 7th chakra is sometimes associated with the color violet, but it is usually referred to as the color white, a combination of all colors. This is in line with the chakra also being a culmination of all the other chakras.
Excessiveness in the 7th chakra appears as being overly intellectual.
Deficient energy manifests as difficulty thinking for yourself, apathy, spiritual skepticism and materialism.
Meditation is the yogic practice best for the 7th chakra. Meditation clears and quiets the mind, in preparation for experiencing the Divine.

One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, and in honor and dishonor; and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self.
