Episode 4: Chakra One and Embodiment
Today’s episode is all about embodiment.
We ask, are you actually living IN your body, WHERE your body is? Or are you more in your head, with your body as a bit of an afterthought?
This is the realm of muladhara, the work of the root chakra.
Physically, we place muladhara at the base of the spine. Metaphorically, we place this at the base of the mountain.
Losing the sense of connection to our base, to our body, is often a culprit for increased worry/anxiety, weight gain, food issues, financial difficulty, and material obsession. It can be harder to focus, have proper boundaries, and generally practice good self care. If you’ve ever had major illness, surgery, physical abuse, or inherited trauma–you might have some work to do at chakra one. From my experience, though, we could all use a little love at muladhara.
Embodiment challenge! Choose one to do this week:
As a certified yoga therapist, I work 1:1 with clients for goals they have to feel better, body, mind and spirit. Quite often, we must begin at the base–at muladhara–at the element of earth–before we can even address low back pain, anxiety, or weight loss. It’s something I come back to again and again in my own life as well.
To practice embodiment is to take your physical wellness and connection into your own hands, feel, be in, and accept your life just as it is, and learn to trust that life is conspiring in your favor, all your needs will be met, and life is abundant.
Much love
