As we close out Mindfulness May, I challenged myself to meditate every day, for even 5 mins. Well, it wasn’t a perfect 100% but I realized something in the journey…
I’d been feeling blah, dead, less lively, less like my bubbly self. With all that’s taken place since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve just been on autopilot with survival as my energy source. Sound familiar?
As things have loosened up and masks have come off, I’ve noticed feeling disconnected STILL and haven’t been able to connect back fully with myself and with my environment even as things are opening up.
As I know in the world of available medication, there is no pill to make you feel more alive, more connected to the soul- to your true self. But, I know in practicing medicine that healing happens thorough energy exchange.
And because I’ve been feeling like dead wood, that flow of energy wasn’t moving as I needed.
I love the saying, “Ask and Ye shall receive” because that’s exactly what happened.
In walked a Chakra Meditation that saved my life! It changed the game.
Chakras are set energy milestones along the center of your body, from where your butt touches the ground to the top of your head. There are 7 of them and each just happens to overlap with key endocrine organs.
1- Reproductive organs
2.-Digestive system
3- Adrenal
4- Heart
5-Thyroid
6-Pituitary
7- Brain
Most chakra meditations focus on using imaging, color or sounds to recharge each center.
I started with the root chakra, #1 as this is the chakra to help with stoking creativity, fire, connection, and bringing forth life to surge oxytocin (one of the key hormones of love & attraction)
This has been a game changer in breathing life into the “dead wood”!
So I decided to create a sacral-root chakra meditation ( and share it with you for free) based upon imagery, sound and engaging the senses. Perhaps if you are feeling the same, I invite you to try this new prescription:
Explore using root chakra mediation to recharge. Take the time to nourish yourself, and if you like, continue with other chakra meditations.
There’s still some time left in May to check it out!
Hope you enjoy this meditation!!
