Each chakra performs a specific function and is associated with discrete body parts and aspects of mind. Some chakras embody physical elements, such as earth, air, fire, etc., and some are associated with days of the week, planets, gemstones, and colors.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Shumsky will discuss how you can awaken and energize these energy centers to become healthier, happier, more charismatic and magnetic, and more attractive as a result.<\/p>\n<p><i>Color Your Chakras<\/i><b> <\/b>is a fun activity book for adults and children alike.

Eigel&#8217;s new book, <em><strong>The Map: Your Path to Effectiveness in Leadership, Life, and Legacy.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all leaders somewhere&#8230;either at home, with friends, or informally with peers or coworkers in various situations. On a personal level you likely make daily decisions to strengthen your most important relationships, grow in your knowledge and skills, and otherwise add value to life.<\/p>\n<p>Great leadership isn&#8217;t about winning, though. It&#8217;s not about pleasing people, and it&#8217;s certainly not about titles. Great leadership is about making the contributions only you can make for your family and friends, your community or organization, your country or the world. But having that influence requires us to grow into&#8211;and take ownership of&#8211;who we are and what we stand for. The journey isn&#8217;t automatic. Leadership maturity isn&#8217;t the natural byproduct of aging. It requires wisdom, courage, and effort. Too many people find themselves stuck under the weight of their circumstances, so they don&#8217;t realize their potential.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-10571\" src=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/TheMapBOOKCOVER-99x150.jpg\" alt=\"TheMapBOOKCOVER\" width=\"99\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/TheMapBOOKCOVER-99x150.jpg 99w, https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/TheMapBOOKCOVER-239x360.jpg 239w, https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/TheMapBOOKCOVER.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 99px) 100vw, 99px\" \/>Based upon decades of research on adult development, <em>The Map<\/em> explains how we can take control of our growth and accelerate progress in leadership, life, and legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Karl Kuhnert is an Industrial and Organizational Psychologist in the Psychology Department\u00a0 at the University of Georgia.
