About Chakra Spinach
When I was a teenager growing up in Brisbane Australia, Brisbane wasn’t the cosmopolitan city it is today. It was often the subject of jokes from other states that labeled it “backward”, or “country not city”. Sydney was the place to be for a girl like me looking for excitement.
I found excitement sure enough, but my body suffered all those late nights, too much alcohol, and a lack of nutrients. Then a friend of mine made me eat spinach. I still remember how much this food changed my life! I really did feel like “Pop-Eye”, the skinny cartoon sailor who fought off the big bad guy by eating spinach to instantly grow muscles.
“Our chakras are not just about our spiritual lives, these are the wheels of energy that make us who we are.”
So when I was looking for a name for this web community I wanted something “healthy”, something that would convey a place that I could have come to at different times in my own life, and you can come to in yours. Spinach for your body, for your mind and for your spirit!
I hope this site can bring you something like spinach brought me then, a sense of feeling better than I’d ever felt before and a real sense of living my life, equipped with what I needed to do so in the most energised and exciting ways! After spinach there were more and more vegetables that entered my world! Wow! Could my body really feel this good!
Our chakras are not just about our spiritual lives, these are the wheels of energy that make us who we are, our minds, our bodies and our spirits all spinning together to make the humans and the gods we are.
In my book “Start Where You Are” I wrote about considering ourselves from the perspectives of our cognition and our consciousness, including diet, exercise, and spiritual awakening. I hope that this web community can take the time to read this book so that we are all journeying together from where we all are, as humans. Throughout this website I will also be opening windows and doors to my world, and introducing others to you who will allow you to view theirs more fully. We will look at all kinds of subjects that make our humanity exciting and valuable.
I spent a considerable time studying Astrology, and will introduce you to my Astrology site and the Venusian Astrology perspective I developed. As my current journey through Mediumship progresses I’ll share with you those things that I encounter. There will be opportunities for readings in both these areas.
But anyone who has already read “Start Where You Are” will know that a lot of my journey is very much about the pragmatic and scholastic perspectives of what makes us human, and my studies in Consciousness and theoretical viewpoints, together with diet and exercise will always be fused with what is referred to as the “super-natural”, a word that many have mixed feelings about.
This community is about demystifying what is perceived as mysterious and/or frightening or life changing. Like eating spinach Chakra Spinach is about health inducing activities that make us glad to be alive, sharing our humanity with each other.
Spinach made a difference, then came many more vegetables each making me feel healthier and happier in their own unique ways. I hope “Chakra Spinach” is an important website for you and one that opens doors to many more vegetables for you too!
Enjoy!
