These monkeys learned to wash these potatoes and the behavior began to spread to younger generations of monkeys. The scientists then went onto report that this behavior seemed to spontaneously appear on other islands among other monkeys that did not have any contact with the first group.

The study was published but has now been discredited; individuals have said it was part of “New Age Mythology”. It was discredited in part because at least one monkey who knew how to wash the potatoes may have swam to another island and spent an amount of time there.

Scientists disprove things often and at times are right and wrong. Could this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon be true and if so what does it mean?

If the hundredth monkey phenomenon is true that would mean that at a certain level of awareness this information could be communicated. With this vast universe and all the things we do not fully understand, is it silly to believe it is not possible.

However, scientific “tests” are accurate. If the level of precision was not there for any scientists liking (especially those who are out to disprove such a phenomenon) then it must be inaccurate.

Finding a test to measure mass consciousness may be quite difficult. Science may never agree with the Hundredth Monkey Theory or any other relating to a communications among the minds.

With all that we do not know the idea of having a communicating consciousness can be pretty scary to many. Fear drives people and perhaps that is why there is always such a fervor to disprove anything that seems impossible.

What is your opinion about The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon?

Since our chakras are directly influenced by everything around us such as the technique to regular cleansing of our chakras logically follows that we should take our environment into consideration as well. To achieve balance and harmony, the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being also needs cleansing in order to heal our energy systems. This is necessary since all aspects of our existence are interconnected and are necessary to function harmoniously for healthy and vibrant living.

Following are some of the highly effective chakra cleansing practices man has used for thousands of years in the past:

1. Smudging with certain herbs and plants like white sage can clear certain types of negative energy obstacles in your energy points. Simply go inside a room with the door and windows closed and burn some white sage and let the smoke fill the room; remain in the room for a few minutes.

2. Auric brushing with the aid of crystals and gems is one way to cleanse our chakras of blockages but it should be done judiciously as it is potentially a double-edged knife, it can cause damage if not done by a well-experienced person.

3. Live healthy by eating the proper diet, drinking plenty of water and fruit juices coupled with regular sleep and rest should be an individuals norm instead of maintaining a hectic daily schedule. A healthy lifestyle is highly recommended in order to preserve our energy systems.

5. Relating with nature can have positive effects on your energy systems.

6. Since each individual colors have different vibrations that affect different elements of a person, you can effectively perform chakra cleansing by looking at real color or simply by visualizing them.

7. The power of music should never be underestimated nor set aside. Music is an effective stimulant and chakra cleansing method that balances the functions of our energy points.

8. We should not tire of pursuing learning situations. In fact, it is highly recommended to continually pursue learning and intellectual challenges to keep us on our toes and keep our energy points active.

9. Allocating a few minutes daily for reflection on the days events is also a powerful chakra cleansing method. Spending some time alone and giving serious thought to our daily happenings and situation gives us a clearer perspective and awareness of everything that affects us and our environment.

10. Practicing love of self is also important as it teaches us survival and self preservation. It also makes us more able to love others.

11. Becoming conscious of our emotions and responsibly expressing them to others is also fundamental to chakra cleansing and maintenance. Repressed thoughts and feelings create energy jams that can seriously affect our health and well being.

12. Be creative in everything that you do even if it is not related to the arts. Enjoy your tasks and perform them in a jovial manner and they would not be a drudgery.

13. Be perceptive of the significance of your past since it can provide a deep understanding of your purpose as a person.

14. Honesty and truthfulness in all areas of our lives keeps us healthy and gives us vibrant energy. Values anchored on respect, trust, decency, honesty and truthfulness help make us a productive and responsible member of the society.

15. Communicate with your Creator through prayer. Praying is a fundamental part of our health and energy systems because it is an acknowledgement of humility and a sign of respect for the Almighty. It also helps put us at ease and make us sensitive to our environment.

The above are all effective chakra cleansing techniques which we need to incorporate in our lives. Although chakra cleansing takes time, it should be done regularly and continuously for us to reap its benefits and advantages in living a healthy life.
