63. Rocking Your Chakras w/ Brett Larkin

Image: Meet Circle

Episode 63- You have surely heard of your chakras, but do you know how to rock them? In this episode, we get into this spectrum of energy portals that exist within us with founder of Uplifted Yoga, Brett Larkin, trying to understand how each chakra has both physical and emotional aspects. When one of these energy centers is out of balance within us, we can heal ourselves by working out potential emotional and energetic causes for our symptoms, and using tools (like yoga, food, color or meditation) to bring our own energies back into equilibrium.

DEFINITION of ROCKING YOUR CHAKRAS: When you finally understand that the seven energy portals in your body are of utmost importance in achieving balanced and lasting health, and you also understand that these physical energy epicenters can become blocked by repressed emotions or spiritual blockages, so you are finally able to create habits which free up your circuitry to find the healing and radiant health you have always been seeking.

DISCLAIMER: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED ON SKYPE, AND WE ARE STILL WORKING OUT OUR TECHNOLOGY SO PLEASE DON'T JUDGE US ON THE AUDIO QUALITY ON THIS ONE, THE INFO IS STILL THERE! 

​MAIN POINTS:

• What are the chakras? "Portals through all the layers of our being."
• Hear Brett describe each chakra, the emotional and spiritual subtle meanings of each, and how to balance and align each one.
• A chakra can be out of balance in either direction. If there is not enough energy running through, the chakra is deficient. If there is too much energy running through, that chakra is in excess.
  
• The goal is to get each chakra is balanced.
