Chakras are point
Sixth chakra that supports inner luminescence associated with a Kundalini awakening.
Chakra : A center for reception, assimilation and expression of life force energy.
Padma : Sometimes used as an alternate name for Chakra.
Mantra : Literally "tool of thought" denotes a sacred word , phrase or sound, repeted internally or externally as a tool in meditation or ritual.
Do You Have A Blocked Foot Chakra
Beeja Mantra : er Seed sound represented by letter symbol at the center of each chakra , this sound is believed to give one access to or control over the essence of that chakra.
Nadis : Channels of psychic energy in the subtle body , the root , the nad means motion or flow.
Pure consciousness, which enters the individual from the vast field of the supra mental plane as Purusha condenses through the chakras as it falls down wards to the plane of manifestation. Having climbed to the top to embrace Shiva. Shakti descends through the chakras by the first entering the mind and senses, then the five elements of the finite matter. When she reaches the final plane of earth, there is nothing left for her to do, and she rests, becoming the coiled and dominant form of Kundalini Shakti.
In the journey upwards we use the chakra as the stepping stones to our liberation, each step granting us more freedom from the limited forms, repetitive habits, and worldly attachments. Each step expand our consciousness and our horizon. In the downward current the chakras becomes "condensers" of the force of consciousness organizing its energy for exchange on the various planes associated with each level. In the descent of consciousness the chakra are analogous to pools that collect rainfall as it descent from heaven and runs down the mountain to the sea. Where is a cavity water collects in pools and can be used. Like pools chakras are chambers in the subtle body that allows the divine consciousness to into progressively denser planes of manifestation. If the chakra is blocked, it is limited in the amount of energy it can gather.
This analogy also describes the different concepts of unity that can be understood at both end of the spectrum. As the rain falls from the heaven in a cloud of droplets, it is like a unified field of moisture. As it falls to earth, it breaks up into millions of tiny rivulets, which becomes larger but less numerous as thousands of little streams and hundreds of even bigger tributaries., and tens of wide rivers to a huge and single sea. The raindrop than rest in a unified body of water until they rise again to heaven as tiny droplet of evaporation. Each step downward creates something larger and coarser, yet moves towards simplicity and singularity.
So we begin our journey downward from the pure consciousness- a field of nondenominational that it is higher state is complete and unwavering. Transcendence consciousness has risen past the ups and down of differentiation until it is utterly smooth without ripples of fluctuations. As soon as that consciousness begins to descend however we have a wave that ripple outward, a tiny point of awareness standing out against the void.This ripple is the first focus of consciousness- the first downing of any existence.
As we focus our attention, wave of awareness emanates outward, forming tiny fluctuations in the fabric of space and time. These fluctuations are not isolated events but stimulates the creation of other waves, which propagates more waves. As they cross these waves from interference patterns and the ethereal emanations of consciousness becomes more dense.. The holographic principle is an example of such interference pattern. At each crossing of the waves is a node that draws awareness.
This is the level of chakra six. Raw information begins to have an image-something that consciousness can"recognize" or" re-know" Consciousness is now feeding back on itself. It perceives the image react to it , perhaps alters it. The information is beginning to manifest but at this stage, it is little more than a well formed thought.
As the mind focuses on these constructed images, it sends more ripples, constructing more interference patterns for consciousness to recognize and react to. The field becomes more dense. Our waves are now quite numerous, react to each other, generating fields of awareness, field of ripple at various frequencies or vibrations. Frequencies that are similar tend to harmonize and fall into resonance, deepening their amplitude.
Now we are at chakra five where consciousness fold is on itself once again. Repeating images are given a name as they take on a particular vibrational quality. A name is a wave function that transport an idea from one mind to another. It can distinguish and delineate differences in our field of interference, drawing a border around them and making them distinct and specific.
As we name something we define it within the world of relationships. At chakra four we find that we perceive order among our names things. There are waves and there are interference's. There are things and there are relationships. In relationship, there must be balance for something to continue into manifestation..
We come now to chakra three, and begin to enter our physical dimension of our bodies.. Our ripple are becoming more dense, more ordered.We use our will to command raw energy to the shape and form of our intention. This creates a field that is charged with vital energy, a field that can detect and hold the shape of raw material in accordance with a vision or intention. The vital energy of our life force holds our body together, the vital energy of love holds a relationship together the vital energy of an idea evokes enthusiasm, which calls forth support from others.
We are now reaching a level of complexity and organisation that approaches gravitational force. As energy and will pull random substance together despite energies become more dense. As they become more dense, they create their own gravitational field. The rest happens by itself, as raw energy gets pulled along the lines of cleavage set up long ago by the patterns of thought. Gravity pulls on our organized field, curving the fabric of space time. pulling masses together, causing the movement that provides constant change. The movement seek to balance difference, seek to return, the composite part of our field to its initial unity.
And finally through this gravitational force our ripples of constructive interference coalesce, creating mass. We have come to the world of material objects, with weight and volume.We have retained to the earth, one of innumerable masses floating in a sea of stars.
When we compare the downward current to the upward current we find something very interesting. We find that the pattern is nearly the same.The two ends of the spectrum are remarkably similar. From chakra one, we began with an initial unity and moved from that unity into difference, From difference we moved to choice and to volition. And from volition to a three dimensional world of space and time, full of precisely arranged relationships.
From chakra seven we began with an initial unity as undifferentiated consciousness. soon as that consciousness had the slightest ripple, the unity was shattered and difference was created. In the naming of thought patterns, volition was exercised creativity was enacted and that creativity set to organize its composite elements into precise patterns of relationships.
At the physical end of spectrum, we have substances made of molecules and atoms. When we closely examine them we learn that large amount of empty space between them. Upon examining sub atomic particles we notice that they appears more like waves probabilities upon conceptual variations of thought patterns.
At the ethereal end of our spectrum, we have consciousness. In its ultimate state it is undifferentiated but in actuality it is a field outside of space time with minute ripples of fluctuations- appearing more like waves, possibilities among conceptual variations of thought patterns.
The Hindus talk about ultimate reality at being one of order. Things are not real. actions are not real, there is only divine order the lines of which delineate all the MAYA that we experience as the phenomenon world. This order is a organizing force acting upon all mater
The tantra describes a lines of force permeating all of source and time as the "hair of Shiva". These hairs are the organizing principles in the Akash, the world of non material spirit. As Shiva is a male principle of consciousness, the minute hair of of his head can only represent the first and barest emanations of thoughts which proceed from that consciousness.
The initial difference is Shakti, the other, the female with her the world is made. The dance is begun, but never concluded.
And also we find that the end is the beginning,We are not travelling a linear path, but an interpenetrating one. There is no destination, only the journey.
Now that we have considered the theoretical side of our descending current, we can apply it to our everyday life.
We begin with raw information The random buzzing of thoughts in our brain. Our thoughts play in the back of our heads.- collecting other thoughts to help solidify them. Perhaps we meditate so our thoughts become more coherent. In meditation some thoughts will catch our attention and may even become an idea. As we focus on our idea images form in the minds eye.We may fantasize, day dream or imagine various aspect of our idea. As we do it takes on a mental image with form, shape and color. Our random thoughts have begin to solidify., we have a long way to go before they manifest.
Lets pretend that our idea is to build a house. As we think about it, we begin to visualize size and shape or color of the house, perhaps we imagine walking in the front door or cooking in the kitchen Our thoughts are starting to pool in (Chakra six) as we embellish our idea with imagination. .As the images crystallize, we become able to tell someone else about our idea. We communicate about it (chakra five) We can now describe the shape and size of the house and we may begin to draw up plans further concertizing our image.Next we must bring our ideas into relationship (Chakra four). We can't just build a house anywhere. We need to buy a piece of land which is in a community that will have certain rules. We must be relate to architects and builders planning commissioners and loan officers. In order to manifest something it must have some relationship to things that already exists.
Our project will not happen by itself merely from visualization and communication.We must apply our will, from (Chakra three). Our will directs our energy, such as money, material, and people toward a certain goal. This takes energy, in the form of repeated and deliberate action. guided by consciousness and fueled by physical metabolic processes. .As we invest this energy our project begins to take form on the physical plane. We move things around such as tools and building materials, and bring them together. (Chakra two) until finally we have manifested a finished building that rest on its foundation on the Earth (Chakra one). At this point we are complete, and like shakti who rest in the (First Chakra), we get to rest and enjoy our manifestation.
Through this descent a vast number of thoughts about the design of the house gradually evolves into a single building mage of many images, conversations relationships, activities, movements and materials. Manifestations involves distilling the many into one. Yet the house is only one of other homes which are created by the same processes.
To manifest to allow our thoughts to become dense, to solidify.The more we think about something, the more we are likely to manifest it., but as we said in (Chakra one) that manifestation requires that we accept limitation.This requires a certain amount of repetition. I can play a piano piece because , I have practice it many times.. I can speak a language if i have repeated the vocabulary enough times to remember it. I have the deepest relationship with people i see most frequently.
The downward current is made from repeated patterns. which becomes dense if we cannot accept limitations. or repetitions., we won't manifest.The upward current liberates us from the boredom of this repeatation and allows us to experience something.new.
The journey upwards expand our horizons, brings new insight and understanding. Shakti brings us vital energy as she reaches for Shiva. she is wild and fierce. The journey downwards is marked by the presence of grace, the intelligence order that is the province of Shiva.The upward current brings us transcendence, the downward imminence. It is these two highways that creates our Rainbow Bridge.- the connecting link between heaven and earth., mortal and divine. It is only the two currents rushing past each other that creates the vortices that forms the chakras,
We now have a dance of liberation and manifestation, freedom and enjoyment, that forms the basic priorities of human experience.

Shakti : Divine power or energy, female goddess counterpart to Shiva.. She is the active principle in all things, constantly changing. She is represented in many forms and by many names in the lower chakras-Dakini, Rakini, Rakini, Kakini.
Samadhi : A state of enlightenment or bliss.
Sattvas : The lightest of the gunas associated with thought, spirit and balance.
Trikona : Triangle that appears in several of the chakras and in other Yantras. Pointing downwards, it represents shakti pointing upwards, Shiva. In the heart of chakra they are interlaced representing sacred marriage.
Tamas : The guna that represents matter, inertia at rest, resistance to opposing forces. It is the heaviest most limited of the gunas.
Susumna : The central vertical Nadi that connects all the chakras. To have a full kundalini awakening the energy must travel to the sushumna.
Kundalini : Serpent goddess who lies coiled three and one half times around the Muladhara chakra. As she awakens she climbs the Sushumna and pieces each chakra. Activating energy force that connects and activates the chakras.. A kind of awakening typified by rising currents of psychic energy. Kundala meaning coiled.
Chakras are organizing centers for the reception assimilation and transmission of life energy. Our Chakras as core centers form the coordinating network of our complicated mind/body from instinctive behavior to consciously planned strategies from emotions to artistic creations.The chakras are masters programmer that governs our life, love, learning and illumination.
There are seven basic chakras that exist within the subtle body, interpreting the physical body. The subtle body is the non-physical body that is superimposed on our physical bodies. It can be measures as electro -magnetic force fields within and all around living creatures. In the aura, which is the external manifestation of the subtle body, the energy field appears as a soft glow around the physical body often made up of spindle like fibers.
Chakras are gateways between various dimensions, center, where activity of one dimensions such as emotions and thoughts connects and play on. Another dimension such as our physical bodies. The interaction in turn plays on our interactions with others and thus influence another dimensions- our activity on outside world.
.Take for examples the emotion experience of fear, related to the first Chakra.
In Yoga Psychology , the subtle body is divided into five sheath of varying refinement in the subtle body., called "Koshas". As a core of the body , the subtle field appears as spinning disc- Chakras. The chakras are the psychic generators of the Auric field. The aura itself is the meeting point between the core patterns generated by the chakras and the influence of the external world.
Through modern psychology we can see that these seven chakras are located near the seven nerve ganglia that emanates from the spinal column.
There are two minor chakras mentioned in the ancient text. The Soma chakra located just above the third eye and the Anandakanda lotus which contain the celestial wishing tree (Kalptaru) of the heart chakra.
Chakras are also called lotuses, symbolizing the unfolding of flower petals, which metamorphic ally describe the opening of a chakra. Lotus symbolizes the path of development from a primitive being to a fully blossoming consciousness, mirroring the base chakra rooted in earth., which evolves into "thousand petaled lotus"at the crown of head. Like lotuses chakras have "Petals" which vary in number from chakra to chakra,. Beginning at the bottom with the first chakra the petals number four, six, ten, twelve, sixteen, two and 100 petals.Like flowers chakras can be open or closed, dying or budding, depending upon the state of consciousness within.
The sum total of chakras form a vertical column in our bodies called sushumna . This column is a central integrating channel for connecting the chakras and their various dimensions. It can be thought as a "super highway" on which these energies travel.
If you like to experience what a chakra feels like , the following is a simple exercise for opening the hand chakras and experiencing their energy.
- Extend both arms out in fron of you, parellel to the floor with elbows straight.
- Turn one hand up and one hand down. Now quickly open and close your hands a dozen times or so.
- Reverse your palm and repeat. This opens the hand chakras.
- To feel their energy open your hands and slowly bring your palms together, starting about two feet apart.
FOOD AND THE CHAKRAS
Chakra one Meats and Proteins
Meat and proteins are good food for grounding. Too much of them however leaves the body sluggish and overly Tamsic. If on other hand one feels weak , disoriented or out of touch with his body and the physical world , a good meal of fleshy foods can do much to ground him. It is not necessary to eat meat to be grounded . It is the protein that is most important for the structural tissue associated with the first chakra.
A vegetarian diet with proper protein can provide enough "Foundation food" to keep the first chakra happy. It is than important to eat such food as tofu,beans, nuts, eggs and dairy products.
Chakra Two - Liquids
Chakra two is associated with water , therefore pointing to liquids. Liquids pass through the body more quickly than solids and help clean the body and keep the kidneys from becoming overloaded with toxins, juices and herbal teas can aid this cleaning process. We must have enough liquid to remain healthy.
Chakras three-Starches (energy foods)
Starch are the easily converted energy foods, relating to the fire element of the third chakra. Starches that comes from whole grains rather than processed flours are assimilated by the body more slowly and more throughly. More quickly absorbed foods, such as simple sugars or stimulants, also provide energy. But prolonged use of them depletes the general health of the third chakra. Addiction to "energy foods" shows an imbalance in third chakra. Sugar addiction can point to (as well as cause) third chakra imbalance.
Chakra Four- Vegetables
Vegetables are the products of photosynthesis sometimes that our bodies are incapable of producing.Vegetables trap the vital energy of the sunlight, as well as good balance from the earth air fire(sun) and water.Vegetables are the product of cosmic and earth processes in natural balance, reflecting the balance nature of the heart chakra. In the Chinese system they are neither yin nor yang , also representing the balance and neutrality characteristic of this chakra.
Chakra Five- Fruit
Fruits are said to be higher on food chain because when ripe they drop to the ground and do not require the killing of plants or animals to harvest them.Fruits are rich in vitamin C and high in natural sugars.They pass through the system the most quickly of all solid foods and leave the energy free to travel to the upper chakras.
Chakras Six and Seven- Fasting
It is more difficult to recommend food for these higher chakras as they are not linked with bodily processes but with the mental states.Certain mind alerting substance like marijuana pr psychedelic drugs are known to affect these centers, sometimes beneficially and sometimes not. In relation to fod , fasting is most relevant to the upper chakras.
Note : It must be understood that mere ingestion of meat will not make someone automatically grounded, nor will a diet of pure vegetables open heart chakra that is otherwise closed.The objective is to obtain a balance among the chakras., and the balance within the person's diet helps to bring about.. The previous listing are merely offered as a guideline for correcting existing imbalances. A person who eats few vegetables is not courting the vibrational aspects of the heart chakra with diet. A person who lacks protein may feel flighty and ungrounded.
The body runs on energy not food, while much of that energy is obtained from food , we will find that energy from other chakras such as love, power or higher states of consciousness, often decreases our need for food.
MATTER
Chakra is a kind of vortex (भंवर) pool, ring.- a swirling intersection of forces. These forces begins as straight movements (linear vectors) moving through a friction less void. In the context of the chakra system, we have described them as the downward movement of manifestation and upward movement of liberation., much like condensation and expansion. One is centripetal- moving inward, toward a center and toward itself- and the other is centrifugal- moving away from the center. When these two forces encounter each other, they encounter opposition and polarity and assume secondary circular movements or vortices, that create a chakra.
Consider twirling a ball on a string. The string represents limitations- a centripetal force similar to gravity.. If you shorten the string as you spin, the orbit gets faster and smaller - more tightly bound around the center, the field created by a revolving ball, appears more dense, until it seems solid, just like a moving propeller blade. Shortening a string is analogous to increasing the gravitational field. The greater the mass of body the stronger is its field of gravity and the more it will attract other bodies.
Materialization occurs when there is enough force of similar nature and direction to reach a critical mass , resulting in manifestation. This can be seen in anythings from streams of water, running onto the sea, to like minded people bonding around a common cause. As the focus of energy increases, the manifestations becomes more pronounced., and then draws more energy toward itself.- a votex of positive feedback . The center of this focus is analogous to what it is called Bindu , a dimensionless source point that acts as a seed of manifestation.
At the bottom of our chakra column the forces coming down from the top have gone through six levels, gaining density with each one they are the most solid at chakra one. The upward forces of dispersal, however are relatively undeveloped in the first chakra.. With a heavy emphasis inward and little movement outwards, we have many centripetal forces that lock into place with each other and create the material world we see around us.
Materialization, then is a cohesive of similarity created by the in drawing of the center. This core structure draws towards itself those forms that are responsive towards its particular cohesive force.Money attracts money-, the more we have it is easier to create. especially when a critical mass is reached. Square attracts square because they fit in with the central structure, as in the designed of a house or a grid of a street.
Gravitation is a basic first chakra principle as it condenses consciousness and energy into materialization. Whether we are talking about mass or money , the more we have of something the easier it is to attract more of the same. The principle both can ground us giving us security and manifestation. or trap us, keeping our consciousness bound to limited forms. As something becomes larger and more dense, , it also becomes more inert or Tamsic. This means it is less able to change.If you have a big house, with lots of possessions, it is more difficult to move.
Chakra Asana (Wheel Pose) Back bend
An inter medial yoga pose that open in front of all the Chakras.
Chakras can be open or closed.excessive or deficient or any of the various stages in between.
Chakras in physical realm, they correspond to a particular area of the body and may be experienced as butterflies in stomach, frog in our throat, pounding in our heart, or the experience of orgasm.Worth with the physical association allows us to use chakra system to diagnose and in some cases heal illness.
Chakras are really are programs that runs our lives.
Shiva and shakti represents two currents of energy through the chakras.- one downwards and one upwards. The downward current the current of manifestation, begins in pure consciousness and descends through chakras into the manifested plane gradually becoming denser and denser at each step. To produce a theatrical play for example we must begin with an idea or concept (Chakra Seven) . The idea than becomes a set of images {Chakra Six), which can be communicated to others in the form of a story (chakra five). As the idea further develops, the others get involves with it., we enter a set of relationships that help bring it about (chakra four) . We give it our will and energy (Chakra three) rehearsing the movement , and bringing its conceptual and physical elements together (chakra two) and finally manifest the play on the physical plane (chakra one) in front of an audience. Thus we taken our abstract conception which began in thought, down through the chakras into manifestation.It is this path of manifestation that is said to be pulled by to enjoyment of life of bhukti.
Liberation & Manifestation
The chakras may be thought of as chambers in the body where these two forces mix together in different combinations. Each chakra has a different balance of liberation and manifestation. The lower we go in a system the stronger the momentum of manifesting current.The higher we go . the more the chakras are influenced by the liberating current. This basic polarity is an essential element to understanding how the system works as a whole.
The chakras are comprised of varying proportions of the three gunas. These three qualities are the essence of a basic, unified primordial substance. Together they compose the dance of universe, yet seperetely they are quite distinct.
Matter, energy and consciousness will be used quite freely. These terms describe qualities inherent in all aspects of life.-the qualities of the three gunas. These terms are not three separate entities and are never found alone without varying proportions of their counterparts. I n fact it is impossible to actually separate them except under an intellectual framework. Energy matter or consciousness inter vine to form all that we experience in the same way as the gunas join together to form the cosmos.
The chakras are all comprised of these ingredients in various degrees. Matter (tamas) rules the lower chakras,energy (Rajas rules the middle chakras and consciousness (Sattva) rules the upper chakras. yet some proportion of each thread is found at every level and in each and every living thing. To balance the weaving of these three basic threads is to bring balance to ourselves, in mind, body and spirit.
When shakti resides in base chakra, she rests. Here she becomes the coiled serpent, Kundalini Shakti. wrapped three and a half times around the Shiva Lingam in the Muladhara. In this form she is the inherent potential in matter, the primordial feminine force of creation, and the evolutionary force in human consciousness. In most people she remains dominant , peacefully sleeping in an coiled abode at the base of the spine. Her name comes from the word Kundala which means coiled.
When awakened , this goddess unfolds from her coil and climbs upwards., chakra by chakra, reaching for the crown chakra at the top of the head where she hopes to find Shiva descending to meet her. As she pieces each chakra , she brings that chakras awakening to her subject. In fact some believes its the kundalini shakti who can open the chakras. If she is able to reach the crown chakra and complete her journey she is united with her counterpart, Shiva, divine, consciousness and the result is enlightenment or bliss.
Most commonly kundalini begins at the feet or base of the spine and travels up towards the head. The movement can be accompanied by shaking, spasm or feeling of intense heat. Kundalini is generally a powerful experience that results in a profound consciousness change. This change may experienced as increase alertness, sudden insight visions, voices, a feeling of weightlessness, a sense of purity within the body or transcendent bliss.There is some evidence that kundalini set up a wave like movement of the cerebrospinal fluid, which triggers the pleasure centers of the brain giving us the "blissful state" so often described by mystics.
Healing of Chakras
The chakras can be opened through various physical exercises, tasks, meditations,healing methods, life experiences,and general understanding, leading to more profound state of consciousness.
Preliminary exercises
Alignment
In order for the chakras to work smoothly , they need to be aligned with each other. The most direct alignment is with the spine relatively straight (a spine too straight id rigid and tense, blocking the opening of the chakras)
- Standing with feet shoulder- width apart, stretch your hands up high over the head, reaching with your whole body, stretching out each of your chakras. Feel hoe this elongates position encourages the chakra to align.
- When you return to a normal standing position try to maintain that sense of height, aligning your body so that the central core of each major section (pelvis,solar plexus, chest, throat head)feels in direct alignment with the central axis of your body. Allow your feet to connect solidly below you and feel the central core (Sushumna) that connects all the chakras.
Practice the same alignment from a seated position, either in a chair or cross legged on the floor. Try slouching and returning to an erect spine, feeling the difference in your body,s energy and your mind,s clarity.
Establishing the currents
The Manifesting Current
- Stand or sit comfortably, spine straight, feet planted comfortably on the ground, shoes off. Tune into vertical axis of your body. Allow your self to find a comfortable position of balance where this vertical axis s calm, centered and effortless to maintain.Breath slowly and deeply.
- Mentally reach out through the top of your head and allow your self to experience the infinite vastness of the sky and space above you. Breath into this vastness and imagine your self drinking it in the thought the top of your head , pulling it down into your head, letting it cascade across your face, your ears, the back of your head, and down across your shoulder and arms.
- Allow your head to fill again with this "cosmic" energy, this time letting it tumble it into your neck, down into your chest, filling in as you breath in ..and out,, in..and out.As the chest fills, let your belly release , allowing this energy to fill your solar plexus, your abdomen, your groin, and down into your buttock, through your legs, into your feet and out. Let it go deep into the earth.
- Go back to the top of your head and repeat, as you begin the process again you may choose to think of this energy in a more concrete form : as light, a particular color, a form of divinity, a color of bubbles or stream of wind or just simply movement. Repeat the process until you feel that you image comes easily and flows smoothly from above your crown to the earth below your feet.
The Liberating Current
When the above exercise is comfortable, you can begin working with the upward current in a similar manner.
- Through your feet and legs, imagine energy from the earth (red, brown, or green solid,yet vibrant) coming up through your legs into your first chakra, filling up their, and flowing into your genitals, abdomen and solar plexus.. Filling again into your heart and chest, neck, and shoulders, face, and head and out through the top of your head, releasing any tension it encounters outwards and above. Work with this current until it.too flows smoothly.
- When these two currents are smooth try running both of them at once. See them mixing and combining together at each of the chakra levels.(if you would like to work with colors,can try).
As you go through your day, be aware of these two currents running through you.Make observations as to which one is stronger and at what time of the day or during what activities. Perhaps your body needs to develop one current more than the other in order to balance your energies.Notice where a current may hung up on a particular block of tension. Play with the two currents and see which one is more effective in pushing through the block.
Accordingly the functions of
Sahasrara is knowing.-just as other chakras are related to
Seeing,
Speaking
loving,
Doing,
feeling and
Doing.
