As in the posting of this Week’s Chinese Song I mentioned that many of us have a lot of dreams, goals in our life, but many of them may be killed for various reasons. How many dreams do you have? how many goals do you have and are they really your desires to achieve…?

All these questions are related to the energy of  Solar Plexus Chakra, the third chakra of the human body, located at the area of our stomach tip, between the rib cage. Solar Plexus chakra is the personable power center, reflecting the self-esteem, self-confidence, clarity of our thoughts, the connection with the Divine Energy in mental and emotional aspect; and it governs almost the entire digestive system including the  stomach, liver, spleen, kidney,  small intestines, adrenal glands, etc. in physical aspect.  And it is associated with the color yellow, the sun color.

We are spiritual beings, but live in this physical world. In everyday life, our brain passively receives and processes trillions of data, and these data  run and form our mind, and install in this energy center, becoming our past experiences.

I remember my 2 brothers have/had years of severe stomach or spleen problems that required frequent medication and some surgeries,  and all my siblings and I experienced low self-esteem issues due to the historic and tragic events  happened nationwide in China during the Nineteen  Sixties that affected my family (please refer to About page) . Thank God, I am blessed with the self-healing power and I’m healed already. I’m hoping through my words and deeds to help other people heal themselves.

When the energy of our personal power center is tainted, we lose our sense of connection with the Divine Source, may experience low self-esteem, low self-confidence, have no  clarity on our life purpose,  no solutions towards some even simple issues; a person with unbalanced Solar Plexus can also become driven by false will – the ego, everything you do seems like a hard pursue with lots of struggles and stresses. To stay balanced we would  need constant work on the chakra clearance.

If you experience these emotional or physical issues, try to work on your solar plexus chakra through color meditation with affirmations. Also in daily life associate yourself with yellow colors like flowers, fruits, clothes etc.  the most important – Remember  you’re not what other people think of, you’re part of the Divine energy, and you can co-create your physical reality.  Several well-known people such as Dr. Wyne Dyer stated similar sayings “You change the way to look at things, the things you look at change”. Always stay with positive things/thoughts and don’t let yourself be poisoned by negative things/thoughts. Your goals/dreams may not become the way you expected, they will unfold and be reached for the best of your life. All you need to do is to stay connected with the source energy through meditation and quietness plus constant clearance on your chakras.

“Stars are sleeping, but it won’t stop me on my journey. For many years I have been living with wind and dew. For my dreams, I would rather endure loneliness, tasting my fill of solitude.
I shake off the dust of strange lands, taking the road for a long journey, to seek fervently my dreams;
Three hundred and sixty five days, year after year passes, every day is one journey…”

These are from the lyrics of the popular song The Journey of 365 Days written in the nineteen eighties by a famous and prolific song writing couple Xiaoxun and Tan Jianchang from Hongkong. It was performed on stage by many singers from 1984. A good song lasts long, Chinese saying ‘it never becomes boring even being sung hundreds of times and listened hundreds of times’ – 百听不厌/百唱不厌

三百六十五里路   作词：小轩 作曲：谭健常

睡意朦胧的星辰，阻挡不了我行程，多年漂泊日夜餐风露宿；为了理想我宁愿忍受寂寞，饮尽那份孤独。抖落异地的尘土，踏上遥远的路途，满怀痴情追求我的梦想；三百六十五日年年的度过，我一日行一程。
三百六十五里路哟，越过春夏秋冬；三百六十五里路哟，岂能让它虚度。

我那万丈的雄心，从来没有消失过，即使时光渐去依然执着；自从离乡背井，已过了多少三百六十五日。

三百六十五里路哟，从故乡到异乡；三百六十五里路哟，从少年到白头。

有多少三百六十五里路哟，越过春夏秋冬，三百六十五里路哟，岂能让它虚度。
有多少个三百六十五里路哟，从故乡到异乡，三百六十五里路哟，从少年到白头。
三百六十五里长路，饮尽那份孤独。
The Full English Translation
Stars are sleeping, but it won’t stop me on my journey. For many years I have been living with wind and dew. For my dreams, I would rather endure loneliness, tasting my fill of solitude.
I shake off the dust of strange lands, taking the road for a long journey, to seek fervently my dreams;
Three hundred and sixty five days, year after year passes, every day is one journey.
Oh, three hundred and sixty five days, passing are the four seasons; oh, three hundred and sixty five days, how can I let them be wasted.

Oh, my brave ambition is never discouraged, and I’m still holding on to it as time passes; how many times have three hundred and sixty-five days passed since I left my home town!

Oh, three hundred and sixty-five days, from my homeland to strange lands; oh, three hundred and sixty-five days, from youth to white hair.

How many three hundred and sixty-five days are there, as the four seasons pass? Oh, three hundred and sixty-five days, how can I let them be wasted?
How many three hundred and sixty-five days are there, from my homeland to strange lands? Oh, three hundred and sixty-five days, from youth to white hair.
The long journey of three hundred and sixty-five days, I taste my fill of solitude.
* This song could be taught at higher intermediate level

In this video clip, Mao Ning and Yang Yuying, famed as Gold Boy and Jade Girl in the Nineties in Mandarin speaking music stage by singing together, both experienced ups and downs in their singing careers and also sang separately. After 10 years of Yang’s break from stage, they came back again on the stage about two years ago and received warm welcome and success.

Everyone of us has a lot of dreams, big or small. How many dreams do you have? and How many of them have been fulfilled? Do you truly believe in your dreams? Do you really desire your dreams come true? Many times dreams are killed by our unconscious beliefs and worldly views. And sometimes it’s a long journey and acquires solitude to make them true – are you ready for it? and also many times the journey of a dream is an experience of life, and a growth of your confidence and knowledge as a person, it can be an enjoyable experience – it all depends on your own choices of attitude… how do you want to fulfill your dreams?
I’d like to hear about your thoughts.
