In this episode, Joseph sits down with legendary chakra teacher and psychotherapist Anodea Judith, PhD to explore how the chakra system provides a practical map for healing, embodiment, and manifestation. They unpack what “core” really means, how blocked energy shows up in the body as posture, pain, and patterns, and why Anodea uses the word “charge”to describe our life force. The conversation moves from personal stories and somatic therapy to the two energetic currents of liberation and manifestation, and finally into the deeper work of rebalancing the masculine and feminine to create “heaven on earth.”

Anodea Judith, PhD is one of the world’s most recognized teachers on the chakra system, energy psychology, and the bridge between body and spirit. A somatic therapist, yoga teacher, and spiritual teacher, she holds advanced degrees in psychology and mind–body health and has spent decades integrating Western clinical psychology with yogic, somatic, and mystical traditions.
