Improve Your Self-Expression
June 8, 2021
Communication is a very important component of daily life. When your throat chakra or Vishuddha is out of balance it can be difficult to express your needs and desires. Last week, we covered what an imbalance might look like in this area.
Communication, Communication, Communication

Communicating your emotions and thoughts while going through infertility can be challenging, even for the most assertive person, but especially for those who are a bit more timid. This lack of expression could be due to ‘white coat syndrome,’ or a shutting down emotionally due to continued stress from repeat cycles of loss. It could also be because of how one is inclined to speak or not speak on their behalf.
Renewable love

Last week, instead of looking at ways to rebalance the third chakra, we spoke of the emotion ‘shame.’ This week, we’ll do the same for our 4th chakra. Most everyone going through infertility will have a deficient fourth chakra from the continual desire to create a family but falling short every month.
Centering Your Heart

The fourth chakra, Anahata, is located in the heart/chest and stretches out through the arms (Think about an embracing hug). The fourth chakra is centered around your right to love and be loved. It’s foundations are built during your early childhood and revolve around you forming friendships and familial relationships.
Shame ≠ Power

Last week, we offered a brief overview of what it looks and feels like for your solar plexus or third chakra to be: 1) in balance, 2) in excess, or 3) deficient. If you missed last week’s blog post, check it out here. We also touched on how women tend to feel a great deal of shame when going through infertility. If that’s you, this next part is just for you.
Leverage Your Power

The third chakra also known as Manipura (lustrous gem in Sanskrit) is all about ‘personal power.’ When this area of the subtle body is in balance, we have good self-esteem; our personality is warm; we’re able to meet challenges; and we’re spontaneous, playful, or humorous. You might also think of it this way: You have agency or autonomy over your life’s direction (or not).
Moving with Grace

Too emotional, too stoic? Creative or logical? The second chakra is about our right to feel, and this week we learn how to balance the extremes that may arise in these areas.
Center of Creativity
April 20, 2021
This week, we’re moving up our sushumna nadi (central energy channel) to our second chakra, svadhisthana (also written svadhistana). Our sacral chakra is our center of creativity and is associated with our right to feel and have pleasure. When it’s blocked or out of balance it can disrupt our ability to create.
Establishing a Steady Foundation

In last week’s blog post, we provided an overview of the three different energetic states of the first chakra, also known as Muladhara or root chakra. Today, we’re going over what a balanced and out-of-balance root chakra looks like, and how to find harmony in your first chakra.
