Achieving healthy balance via the solar plexus
The governance of Western Australia has long had an odious reputation for skullduggery , but it seems to be getting worse. Today's front page of The West Australian is ablaze with photos of several serving and former members of the state parliament accused of apparently serious misdeeds. At the heart of many of these revelations are telephone taps set up by the Corruption and Crime Commission. It seems that the bugging program of parliamentarians has been intensive, complex and long running. These sort of exposes have been coming through from the CCC about various people over the past couple of years at least, but at the end of the day most of the individuals seem to get off quite lightly. The most wishy washy penalty would have to be the call for those concerned to humble themselves by apologising to the parliament. I'd bet that there are plenty of other alleged offenders around who'd like to be so lucky.
The police did some apologising yesterday to the former Eagles footballer Ben Cousins. He was due to make a court appearance over allegedly refusing to participate in some sort of narcotics ingestion assessment. The cops discovered they'd made a procedural error at the time and felt obliged to withdraw the charge. This means the former star footy player can now relax and concentrate fully on his substance-abuse rehabilitation program.
Mr Cousin's much photographed new tattoo "Such is life" emblazoned over his solar plexus initially made me think of the Irish/Australian bushranger Ned Kelly. He reportedly said the very same words as a nineteenth century hangman pulled the lever.
However, it may not be the words which are so important as to where they are placed. The actual solar plexus. In my quest to attain a higher spiritual knowledge I have discovered that there is a whole field of mystical study involving the solar plexus and its role on the pathway to recovery. The Californian India-Indians call it "Chakra Healing - Opening towards the infinite... An alternative medicine approach towards your radiant health."
A Californian India-Indian comes from the great sub-continent of India like Apu Nahasapeemapetilon who runs the Kwik-E-Mart in The Simpsons, and is not to be confused with a Californian reservation-Indian, who doesn't, in both cases.
Any Australian who reads newspapers or watched TV news last week will know that Mr Cousins was recently in Los Angeles, California and allegedly required emergency hospitalisation because he allegedly had sampled some sort of substance which turned out to be deleterious to his health.
He may not have realised it, but California is the happy hunting ground for the Chakra Energy Healing School. Their specialty is the solar plexus. For a fee, (they have to eat too) they would have been delighted to assist this young man to come to terms with his SP, and guide him away from the abyss and onto the path to recovery.
If you don't believe me then visit their website by clicking here. It says you can even call upon master healer Mr Satish to design a custom Chakra Healing plan. On reading his philosophy I can see that there is plenty there which Mr Cousins might like to take on board.
The intention is to attain a balanced harmonious relationship with the solar plexus. That doesn't mean tattooing it. If there is imbalance on one side of the metaphysical scales, then according to the CEHS this can result in the following behavioural manners: "Aggressive, dictatorship, lots of fire energy, projecting superiority, overpowering, forceful, intrusive, quarrelsome, threatening, pushy, intense, goal-oriented, hard ball, power-loving, ambitious, rebellious, viciously competitive, ruthless, go-getter, hyped up, consistently active, chaotic, burnt out, exhausted, disconnected, angry, workaholic, fussy, lack of tolerance, fears intimacy."
From what I've seen of Mr Cousins none of the above directly apply to him, but there are a few which might apply if there is imbalance in the other direction: "Weak intentions, fragile determination, negative internal dialogues, lack of confidence, inferiority complex, loss of self worth, shrinking courage, feeling inner void, weak inner strength, negative self image, disconnected from gut, loneliness, energy vampire, insecure, phobic."
Presumably 'energy vampire' means a feeling that one's energy has been sucked away. In Australia we say washed out, or buggered.
There's another quote from the Chakra site I'll use. "The amount of Good luck that happens in your life is directly proportional to the Playful Energy that you carry with you." This is really spooky. I have no doubt that 'playful energy' refers to football, not naughty stuff. If Mr Cousins finds a way to refocus on football it may yet be his salvation. I'm sure that there are still plenty of people, even amongst us soft hearted Fremantle Dockers fans, who would like to see him recover and live to play again.
So how does one achieve balance in the solar plexus? Stop abusing what's beneath it for starters - I'm referring to the stomach. Consider very carefully everything that's put into it. In my case this morning I ate a bowlful of cornflakes with a sliced banana and six fresh strawberries on top. Perhaps Mr Cousins should try the same?
