We now enter the realm of Chakra 5, Vishuddha, and “the voice.” You know, the one in your head that criticizes, doubts, and often convinces you that you can’t or shouldn’t do something that you desire? It’s the one that prevents the feeling of freedom in your life. It can hold you back from really stepping into your power and truest sense of self.  I recently worked on kicking mine to the curb, and in this episode I share with you what I found to be very helpful and powerful in this process.

This week I'm happy to offer you 3 simple practices that can help balance the heart chakra, and build awareness around how love and compassion are operating in your life. There is one breath practice, one meditation, and one journaling exercise to get you going.

Also, over on my YouTube channel (@jessgoulding) I'm putting out four 75-minute hatha classes from my series, "Into the Heart." This is a chance to embody the first four chakras and see how they all relate to the heart. Like I said, Anahata is a big deal!

Today we enter the heart chakra where we encounter love and relationships. Anahata means unstruck. The you within you that was, is, and always will be, perfect, whole and complete.

An excessive heart chakra can lead to codependency, poor boundaries, clinginess, jealousy,  being overly self sacrificing.

A deficient heart chakra can make you withdrawn, cold, critical, judgemental, intolerant, narcissistic.

When you know your tendencies in imbalance, you can make changes that will improve your experience in love and relationships.

Today I’m inspired by the book ⁠Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience,⁠ by Brené Brown, and her explanation of hope–what it is, what it isn’t, and what I realized is true about hope from a chakras perspective.

Think of chakra blocks as boulders on your path or dams in your river. Your whole system flows with your life force, your prana, your energy–but anytime there’s something that flows there is opportunity for a roadblock.

A feeling of abundance, when your cups overflow, is a sign of a healthy and supportive chakra one and two. All your basic needs are met, so you can enjoy your life and its pleasures.  But when life gets to be too much, too spread out, whatever energy you have is pouring out everywhere, not held within the steady boundaries of the riverbanks, you might become overly emotional or sensitive as your bandwidth for stress diminishes.  The river dries up. 

You feel depleted.

Or at least that’s how it feels when it happens to me!

If you or someone you know is a little "extra," this episode is for you!

This episode is an interview with Chelsea Cohen, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. We get to have a great conversation (spoiler alert--it's chakra two emotions stuff!) about so many things, including:

> Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and what it’s premise is.

> What is the middle path?

> What are the most challenging things people come up against with self awareness, emotions, identifying patterns, and creating positive change in their lives. 

Interview outline by minute:

7: DBT is evidence based therapy for people who have difficulty regulating their emotions. 

11: What are the steps and goals of DBT?

23: What is “urge surfing?” 

25: Finding the “middle path” as the synthesis between opposites.

31:30: What are some “superpowers” of people who feel emotions in the extremes?

32: 30: Nature vs. Nurture? “Orchids and tulips”

Austin DBT Associates (ADBTA) is Austin's premier agency for adherent, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for adults, adolescents, families and couples.

They have immediate openings in the in-person and virtual, adult and adolescent (ages 13-17) DBT and RO-DBT group skills classes.
