This week is a special episode - an interview with Sammi Boerner of Sage Mind and Body and author of the book Essential Oils for Promoting Weight Loss. We talk about which oils and how to use them creatively to help meet your goals whether for weight loss or something else. She also has some really creative ideas about how to use oils and some specific suggestions for detoxification, increasing metabolism, decreasing anxiety, and a lot more.  The full interview is up on the Patreon page - I had to edit out quite a bit for time, but you'll definitely want to give the whole thing a listen: https://www.patreon.com/ChakraBalancingforWeightLoss Learn more about Sammi at https://www.sagemindandbodymn.com/

Time to let go of the things, people, and attitudes you don't need any more and take back your personal power through solar plexus chakra work. Last week we learned to set emotional boundaries and now we want to take a look at the habits and beliefs that might be holding us back. Are there relationships or expectations in your life that are causing you unnecessary suffering? Let them go. How about old stories? Gone. The episode ends with a powerful affirmation meditation session that can help you create space for new, wonderful things in your life!

It's a big one this week: emotional boundaries. Where are yours? Where are other people's? Why do they matter? What are emotional boundaries even? We discuss all these questions and more as we explore how a balanced sacral chakra can help you feel emotionally fulfilled and stop using stop-gap measures to feel complete.

We finish the episode with a meditation/affirmation practice that can help you build and sustain your emotional boundaries.

A new deep dive series starts today and we're exploring a really important aspect of the root chakra - trust. We've talked before about how security defines this chakra, and there is no security without trust. But trust isn't just in other people, it's in yourself, and knowing that you can trust yourself in any situation. 

This episode discusses how and why we lose trust and what we can do to begin building it back up. And because some people asked, I've included a brand new meditation at the end of the episode that you can use right away to help balance your root chakra.

Here's a link to the article I quote from in this episode: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/stronger-the-broken-places/201909/self-trust-and-how-build-it

It's the final episode of the healing practices series and this one is for the Crown Chakra. We talk about spiritual addiction, rigid belief systems, and our understandable but sometimes counterproductive desire to chase enlightenment. Practices will, of course, include yoga poses (pics on Facebook and Insta), but also a specific mindfulness practice and a chance to get really uncomfortable. Energy work is so fun!

The third eye is often called the "master" chakra, and for good reason. An imbalance here can affect your energy system everywhere. Today we talk about how to balance the third eye to help you create a vision for the person you want to be, whether that includes weight loss goals or not, and how to take the steps to get there. We also discuss some different types of meditation that can be done when you're looking for a way to start "opening" the third eye.
