The Journey to Source

May the poetry in this book serve as a reminder that we are visitors here.
One day each of us will let go of everything and everyone we love.
It is this powerful and humbling truth which makes us truly appreciate life.
Let us use this life as the grandest opportunity
to explore, strengthen, heal, grow, love, give, create,
and courageously forge ahead in service to others.
Heart first always in connection to Source.

Delve within and answer the necessary questions:

• Who am I?

• What is the meaning of life?

• Why am I here?

Let the answers which arise manifest as your legacy to this world.
The Journey to Source is the first in a series of seven poetry books. Each book is composed of poems associated with topics of one specific chakra. In yoga practice, we usually begin with the root chakra (grounding) and elevate to the crown chakra (en-lighten-ment). However, I decided to begin with the crown chakra and work my way downwards. It is the last and highest of the seven primary chakras, the one most associated with the metaphysical, spiritual realm. This is done to honor all those who have physically left this world, yet are still present and connected to us.

The Chakra System

According to the Vedas (ancient Indian sacred texts), the physical body is composed of seven primary energy or vortex centers called chakras. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel. The seven main chakras run along the spine-beginning with the root chakra and ending with the crown chakra. The main chakras are:

• 1 Root

• 2 Sacral

• 3 Solar plexus

• 4 Heart

• 5 Throat

• 6 Third eye

• 7 Crown

Each chakra has a different color, element, sound, mantra, function, location, major organ, and association. The flow or blockage/imbalance of subtle energy in each chakra determines the health or disease of the individual body.Crown Chakra information:
