No! If you have been deeply engrossed in learning a language, but are now approaching the home run, it can be extremely tempting to start to look towards learning a second language.

Curiosity is natural, but you need to decide whether you want to fully learn to become fluent in the first language or are just gathering a little knowledge of different languages here and there. You can even end up not being particularly proficient in any language by doing things this way.

You need to make a decision at the beginning. Are you wanting and willing to put in the time and effort that it takes to become fluent in a particular language? If so, set some targets. Allocate a certain number of hours per week for studying this language ONLY.

You can make the choice of whether you want to become completely fluent, or to be able to hold a fairly straightforward conversation. But do just focus on that one language until you reach the point that you are happy with. This is the point that you can move on to language number two.

Even if you are a pretty smart cookie, the language you study is fairly straightforward and you use the very best language program there is; to learn a new language requires a lot hard work and commitment over a long period of time. Even for a very easy language, you will probably need hundreds of hours of hard work to speak it correctly. Don’t waste your time in studying a bit of this and a bit of that, thinking that in the end you might learn how to speak them all. You won’t.

According to the ancient Vedic thought, there are seven circles (Chakras) of energy referred to as energy wheels in the human body. These are present along the meridian of the body.

There are seven of these wheels (although a few more mystical practitioners say there are 14),

Beginning at the base (believed to be either the bottom end of the spine or the genitals) they go right up to the top of the head, the crown.

In between are the orange colored chakra situated in the stomach area, the yellow colored chakra known as the solar plexus just above this, the green colored chakra in the heart region, the blue colored throat chakra, the indigo colored chakra in the center of the forehead known as the third eye. The root chakra is colored red with the crown chakra thought of as being violet in color.

In addition to being associated with colors (wavelengths of light), the chakras are numbered in order one through seven, with the base chakra being number one.

Chakra one controls sexual health, physical strength and vitality

The second chakra commands our creative powers.

The third commands the power of our will and desires.

The fourth chakra is responsible for our emotions and helps us to both give and receive love.

The fifth chakra is responsible for communicating and is the link between what we feel and what we think.
