The Third Eye Chakra is the energy source that connects us with our intuition. Our Third Eye allows us to see beyond what is in front of us. It is connected to our perceptions of the world and those around us. It is our inner voice.
Our Third Eye Chakra rests between our eyebrows. When our Third Eye energy is aligned, it creates a pathway from us to the world around us, and when we honor our connection, we don't pass judgments on others, we have deep self-trust, and our wisdom reigns supreme. We are one step closer to a higher level of consciousness.
The Third Eye allows for clear thought, spiritual contemplation, and self-reflection. It has to do with clairvoyance. It is the most perceptive part of the human body. It also offers the ability for creative dreaming, imagination, and deep community interconnectedness. Being open-minded is one of the most powerful tools for aligning your Third Eye. Read books from authors who have radically different backgrounds than you. Listen to a new genre of music. Learn how to cook an exotic new dish. '
Visualizing a white light emanating from your forehead through meditation can help align this chakra. Surrounding yourself with the color of indigo is also very effective. It is imperative that we first seek our own personal wisdom, self-awareness, open-mindedness, and clarity before we can authentically be of service to others. This practice is an incredibly powerful way in which to see how we can make the world a better place. Do you recall a time in your life when you used your intuition to guide you? What was the result?
An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket..
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want."
Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
World Immunization Week: Vaccines keep communities healthy
Our progress in the fight against polio shows why vaccination is important
Increasing awareness about the power of vaccines and closing immunization gaps could protect millions of people worldwide from vaccine-preventable diseases, including polio, according to the World Health Organization. World Immunization Week, 24-30 April, is an opportunity to focus on that work, and the robust polio eradication infrastructure built by Rotary and our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) provides a model for it.
The GPEI estimates that polio vaccines have saved an estimated 20 million children around the world from paralysis. When Rotary helped launch the GPEI in 1988, the disease paralyzed more than 1,000 people worldwide every day, most of them young children. Since then, Rotary and its partners have reduced the number of polio cases by 99%, and in 2021 there were just six cases of polio caused by the wild poliovirus. Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only two countries where the wild poliovirus remains endemic.
The progress against polio is the result of the efforts of countless volunteers and health workers who immunize children in hard-to-reach communities and establish real-time global surveillance and outbreak response mechanisms. The polio eradication infrastructure has been used to fight other infectious diseases and undertake crucial health interventions, including supporting COVID-19 prevention and vaccination efforts.
With our decades of experience in bringing polio to the brink of eradication, Rotary has been able to highlight the power and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. Since the pandemic began in 2020, Rotary members have helped health authorities communicate lifesaving information about COVID-19, dispel misinformation, and support fair and equal access to vaccines.
