Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of chakras, focusing on the heart chakra, also known as Anahata. This energy centre, nestled at the center of our chest, is often referred to as the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.

The heart chakra's name, Anahata, translates to "unhurt" or "unstruck," reflecting its association with unconditional love, compassion, and emotional resilience. Imagine it as the powerful force that governs our ability to give and receive love, not just to others but to ourselves as well.

Radiating a vibrant green colour, the heart chakra is linked to the element of air, symbolizing openness and freedom. Its symbol is a twelve-petaled lotus flower with a star-shaped geometric design, representing balance and harmony.

When aligned, the heart chakra fills us with a sense of peace, empathy, and joy. It encourages us to form deep, meaningful connections and embrace the world with an open heart. However, when not aligned, it can lead to feelings of loneliness, jealousy, or emotional pain.

In today's episode, we'll explore the physical and emotional aspects of the heart chakra, discuss signs of imbalance, and share powerful techniques to heal and balance this vital energy centre. Whether it's through meditation, yoga, affirmations, or simple acts of kindness, there are many ways to nurture your heart chakra and enhance your overall well-being.

In the world of spirituality and energy healing, the solar plexus chakra holds significant importance. Located in the upper abdomen, this chakra governs our self-esteem, personal power, and sense of identity. It's like our inner sun, radiating confidence and vitality when balanced, but causing insecurity and self-doubt when blocked. Join us as we delve into all the details of this magical space and explore how to harness its energy for personal growth and empowerment

The sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana in Sanskrit, is the second chakra in our energetic system. Located in the lower abdomen, just below the navel, it governs our sense of pleasure, passion, and emotional well-being. When balanced, the sacral chakra allows us to experience life with joy, creativity, and a healthy sense of sexuality. However, when blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to emotional instability, creative blocks, and issues with intimacy.

In today's episode, we'll explore the significance of the sacral chakra, how it influences our daily lives, and practical tips to keep this energy center vibrant and harmonious.

So, whether you're a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey into the world of chakras, stay tuned as we unlock the secrets of the sacral chakra and learn how to embrace our inner creativity and passion.

Meet Becky Carlsen! The newest team member of Bliss Space. Here is the bio from our website and some info about Becky. I am so humbled and honoured to share space to share space with such dynamic and wise women. Becky shares today some of her story.

Fun fact: I was born in the Yukon!  We moved to BC when I was very young and I have been in the lower mainland ever since.  In High School I naturally gravitated to courses like math and science with success, so without much thought this  became my focus in University.  In my first year of University my mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer.  Then less than 5 years later, while I was working on my Masters my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.   

My background and my degrees in science and experiences with cancer led me to getting a job in Cancer Research.Through personal experience and work experiences with cancer is where I felt  there was a need for more complementary therapies for people and their families going through these experiences.  I began taking courses in the chemistry of essential oils and their benefits, end of life doula training and deep into the work of reiki.  Energy healing is now a passion of mine and I look forward to sharing this with so many people.

I decided at the beginning of the podcast episode to announce that this is officially SEASON 5.

There has been a major energy shift in the last 2 weeks and I am trusting fully as things fall into place.

Here we go!
