Quan Yin Can Assist Us In Opening Our Crown Chakra

The crown chakra is located at the top of the head and is known as the 7th chakra. This chakra is associated with the Divine Life Force, Divine Wisdom, Spirit, our Oneness with the Universe, our unity with all that is and spiritual enlightenment. All 6 lower chakras are connected to the life force through the crown chakra.  

When the crown chakra is open we are in alignment with our true Spiritual nature, therefore we are in divine communion with Spirit.

A lotus flower is often used to represent the crown chakra and it is usually pictured in an open position to symbolize the spiritual awakening of an individual. The crown chakra is also considered the unfathomable well of intuitive knowing we can all draw from, if choose to do so.

The color violet or white are associated with the crown chakra and when our crown chakra is open we have the ability to see the bigger picture in the stream of life. As a result we can have healthy discernment and develop impeccable life values and ethics, which not only empower ourselves, but countless others.

To begin opening your crown chakra find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your back straight. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose while simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Interlock your fingers while extending your thumbs away from your index fingers; now bring your hands above your head. Remember to keep your thumbs extended towards the back away from your index fingers. Hold this position for one and a half minutes; you will feel the energy pulsating in your thumbs as you continue to keep them extended. Now lower your hands and bring them in front of your heart chakra with your palms facing you. Hold this position for a minute and a half; then relax. Place your attention on Quan Yin asking her guidance in opening your crown chakra.

Moving Into Higher Consciousness With Quan Yin

Quan Yin With Pink Blossoms
Higher consciousness is a developed state of consciousness in which the aspects of the mind such as thought, perception and attention are improved, refined and enhanced. The sense of greater awareness of reality is achieved through a higher level of consciousness that is not present in ordinary consciousness.

Impeccable control over one’s mind and will, intellectual and moral enlightenment and profound personal growth are associated with higher consciousness. Transcendence, spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine are also associated with higher consciousness.

Most average and ordinary human beings are only partially conscious because of the character of their untrained mind coupled with the influences of lower impulses and preoccupations. As a result, most of us are considered to be in a waking sleep throughout their daily living.

Within each of us lies the potential to move into and live in higher consciousness throughout our life.

To begin developing higher consciousness, find a quiet and comfortable place to sit with a straight spine. Lift your hands in front of your solar plexus and put your palms together with your fingers pointed away from you. Place both thumbs on the fleshy mound at the bottom of your index finger of the same hand. The bottoms of the hands are touching firmly and your elbows are at your sides. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Focus your attention on Quan Yin and your Third Eye and hold this position for 3 minutes while continuing to breathe.

Developing Your Spiritual Vision With Quan Yin

Third Eye Quan Yin
The All-Seeing-Eye symbol is part of Earth’s creation mythologies and mysteries. This symbol has been passed down through ancient teachings and is found on the American dollar bill.

This spiritual eye is known as the Third Eye, which is the pineal gland and its function has long been recognized by humanity. The Third Eye is located in the center of the face just above the brow line and is the organ of spiritual vision, and is intimately related to karma.

As we become more spiritual in the natural course of evolution we become connected to both the physical and spiritual worlds simultaneously. The Third Eye is considered the highest and most powerful source of ethereal energy available to humans.

When activated the Third Eye becomes the direct line of communication with the higher ethereal planes. Prana, pure life energy is received through this center.

Imagination, visualization and intuition are only achieved through the development of the Third Eye. Until the Third Eye is open the knowledge and memory of the astral plane is unavailable to full waking consciousness.

Consciousness is raised from an emotional nature into an illumined awareness only when the Third Eye is lifted from dormancy. As soon as our sense of ego and personality are set aside and we keep our mental energy intact, we become “conscious” of the non-physical, our inner self and the subconscious.

To begin developing your Third Eye find a quiet and comfortable place to sit with a straight spine. Connect your thumbs and index fingers forming a circle and stretch the rest of your fingers. Rest the back of your hands on your knees with your open palms and facing up. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Focus your attention on Quan Yin and your Third Eye and sit in complete stillness for 5 to 15 minutes while continuing to breathe.

Finding Your Talent With Quan Yin's Guidance

Quan Yin Wood Carving
Every one of us is born with talent and it is our ability to bring talent or talents into the physical that makes us very unique.

Talent has a different meaning for everyone. Some people define talent as being able to sing like Lady Gaga to attract large crowds of people and earn a vast amount of money. This incorrect definition of talent has become harmful to everyone because it overlooks the equal ability of talent, which lies within us all.

A challenge most people experience with talent is not being able to identity their particular talent or talents they are able to bring through and share with the world.
Most of us feel lost and consequently sense we don’t know what we should be doing with our life. Experiencing these feelings of being lost and unfulfilled are signs we have yet to discover our specific ability and how it will be of service to the world.
There is no need for worry because it is very difficult to impede talent from being expressed. If you cannot see the visible signs of what you are good at, there people around you who will point them out to you.
Many of us do not appreciate our talent(s) because we often take them for granted. A task we find so easy and natural to carry out may be difficult for others to consider, therefore we must learn to be grateful for our special talent(s) and incorporate them into our daily living.
It is important for each of us to find our extraordinary abilities and talents and to express them. By doing so we will achieve oneness with ourselves and live in fulfillment. Life will flow smoothly and the things that previously kept failing in our life will begin to work out or will easily fall away from us.
Denying our talents and abilities will only lead us to a life of pain because we are choosing to block the natural flow of life within us by stopping a very special energy that can only express itself into the physical through us.
We can begin seeking our exceptional talent(s) by practicing the “Powerful Insight” mudra and asking Quan Yin to guide us into allowing our abilities to be expressed through us.
When you have time, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Bend your elbows and raise your hands in front of your navel. Make a soft fist with your left hand and place it into the palm of your right hand. The back of the left hand is resting in the right hand. Your left thumb is crossed over your right thumb. Concentrate on your third eye while placing your attention on Quan Yin and continuing to breathe, ask for your talent to be revealed to you and/or guidance to express your talent in your daily living. Hold this focus for three minutes.

Seeking Financial Guidance With Quan Yin

Gold Quan Yin
As a result of the current global economical climate there are quite a few people who are experiencing financial challenges right now. When we experience challenges of any kind we are being provided an opportunity to improve our quality of living. With this said, this post will focus on seeking guidance from within with regards to how we feel about money and how we can improve our financial state of being. Here are a few questions to consider:



Why am I financially struggling to make ends meet?
Why do I spend every dollar I earn?
Why do I always let people borrow or take money from me?
How do I succeed at being financially free on a continuous basis?
How can I learn to have respect for money?

If we can relate to one or more of these questions it is time to turn within for guidance to improve our quality of living.

Money is something we all need because we live in a society that revolves around it. When we don’t have enough money we tend to feel we are at a disadvantage or we are inadequate and when we have a lot of money we feel fulfilled and powerful. However, money will not buy love and is not the answer to all of our woes in life. When we realize money is not the answer to the challenges we face in life our life will begin to change for the better. We have been indoctrinated by society to believe money makes us a successful person.

The first step in taking control of our financial life is to question our beliefs about money. Regardless of how much money we earn and accumulate it will never buy us happiness. Happiness is only achieved with a wholesome belief system. As long as we are motivated for the right reasons, we will attract money easily and continuously. However, when we choose to participate in inappropriate activities with regards to money, money will move away from us. BP is a great example of greed at the expense of all life on land, shore and in the ocean. This is why it is important to question our motives and endeavors and consider the outcome of our desires. When we do things that are good for all concerned, we experience positive results that are sustained. It is important to be cognizant money does not discriminate and must be treated with respect like everything else. As the old saying goes, “never take anything for granted” and this includes money.

If we find ourselves always lending or giving our money away to others who we know are taking advantage of us, this maybe an opportunity for us to begin learning how to say “no”. Initially it is hard to say “no”, but we must learn to say it otherwise no matter how much money we receive, there will always be people in our life taking advantage of us. We must never sacrifice ourselves for others and this also means our rewards in life.  A part of becoming stronger within us is learning to say “no”. Life is about being empowered in a healthy manner. To repress ourselves by being what others want us to be is a form of slavery, which permits others to have control over our freedom. The rewards of standing up for ourselves is well worth it. We must hold onto what is rightfully ours and say “no”.

We need to assess our money beliefs because many people believe they will be poor like their parents and because of this incorrect belief they are unable to attract money into their lives. As soon as we replace this erroneous belief within ourselves with knowing we are worthy and deserving of good, we will attract love, happiness and money. There is plenty of money in the world for everyone. We have a tremendous opportunity to correct the inappropriate thinking within us, which separates the rich from the poor. Remember, money is a man-made requirement that has made us all rely on it for our survival.

This is an excellent time to seriously view at our values. If we are in debt we need to see how and why it was created. There are lessons to be learned and now its time to look at our experiences with money and begin change for our financial freedom. Being honest with ourselves will permit us to make empowering changes in our life.

Now that we have reviewed our values and assessed our money beliefs, we are ready to turn within for guidance to transform into empowered and financially free people. Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Place your hands together at chest level in front of you as if you are forming a bowl, palms are facing up with your little fingers lightly pressed together. With your eyes focused on the tip of your nose place you attention on Quan Yin while continuing to breathe and ask for guidance to live in freedom.

Quan Yin Supports Life Changes

Quan Yin of Change
Without a doubt most of us are feeling overwhelmed with the current economical and environmental changes we are all experiencing in our lives today.

We can choose to look at the current challenges we are experiencing as an opportunity to take the time to turn within ourselves to find out what matters to us. As we begin to make these discoveries we can begin to move forward in our life and begin our new journey into the infinite opportunities that await us.

Here are a few questions we can ask ourselves to begin this wonderful and magical journey into creating positive and empowering change in our life:

Why am I here?
What is my true purpose of my life?
What is best for me?
What do I want in my new life?
How do I overcome the challenges I face in my life?
How can I live the life I am meant to live?
How can I experience meaning and fulfillment in my life and work?
How can I do work I love and make a satisfying living doing it?
How can I find the time for the things that really matter to me?
How can I experience the success I deserve?
How do I experience impeccable health and wellness?

After taking the time to ask yourself the above questions, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably and close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously, filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Curl you fingers into fists with your fingers pressing on the upper pads of your hands. Connect the hands with the second knuckle of the left and right index finger and the pads of the thumbs. Comfortably hold your connected hands out in front of your naval with your thumbs slightly pointing upward towards your heart. Focus on a specific question for Quan Yin that is important to you for approximately 3 to 5 minutes and relax, permitting the answer to your question to surface to your conscious mind.

Finding Mental Balance With Quan Yin

Kuan Yin Peace of Mind
Mental balance is crucial to our wellbeing and how we function in our daily living because the mind is where everything begins. Our attitude towards ourselves determines our attitude towards the world around us, which determines how well we function and interact with others and the earth.

Through the practice of mudras with Quan Yin the mind can be trained to relax and become focused. Mudras broaden the mental faculties; there is a connection between holding a mudra (hand posture) and breathing while placing your attention on Quan Yin.

We were not born to suffer, become ill and die. We are here to learn to live by spiritual truths that govern all life, however to do so requires a keen intellect and strong will, a product of a healthy mind.

As long as one is out of mental balance, there will be worries, sorrows, anxiety, fear and anger. Practicing mudras with Quan Yin can act as purification for our mind and body so we can live in fulfillment of our life’s purpose.

By taking 5 to 10 minutes in the morning and evening on a daily basis to practice the “Mental Balance” mudra with Quan Yin, we can achieve peace of mind and happiness, which is essential for mental and physical health.

To practice the “Mind Balance” mudra, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably and close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously, filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Place your hands at solar plexus level in front of you and interlace your fingers, palms are facing up, fingers are pointing up and your thumbs are comfortably straight. Close your eyes and focus on Quan Yin’s name and continue to breathe.
