Healing Our 1st Chakra: Chakra 3.0 Series

What practical things can we do to heal our 1st chakra? How can we feel the abundance that is around us? How can we heal from our childhood traumas? How can we feel at ease here on Earth and like we truly belong?

Transcript

So today is the beginning of a new series called the chakra 3.

0 series It all began a few months ago I did a normal chakra series and And this was just all about what we normally understand about chakras about health and relationships mostly about relationships because that's something I'm really passionate about about How we actually interact with each other and how that works through the chakras and Because I believe that's actually part of what the world is healing right now We've lived in separation and distance from each other for millennia Whether that was the consciousness whether it was the world the difficult world we live in But for whatever reason we've sort of defined everything our relationships our life In terms of separateness,

You know,

How do I get along with you?

As opposed to how do I deeply connect with you?

This is very different.

How do I get along in a difficult world as opposed to how do I merge with the world?

So this connection pieces is really central to everything I want to do It's why I have a new book coming out called the union of the masculine feminine not gendered It's just these two energies how they merge so a huge passion of mine.

So that was the first chakra series and then I was teaching my yoga teacher training a living master's program and It's really interesting these days because my experience of the world in the last couple years As much as there's so much difficulty and divisiveness and Political challenges and everything It's interesting because on the opposite side of that is this massive awakening And this is my experience It's not maybe everyone's but what I really experiencing with fruit with for me and a lot of people I know and talk to There's this awareness rising inside of us.

That's really brand new and I believe that part of it it's because the old systems are falling outside of us and therefore they're falling inside of us it's almost like Because they don't have this big hook that they once did out there They're disappearing inside of us.

So then what's happening is we're starting to see the world clearer We're starting to understand things that were very confusing before things that we once had great attachment to we don't have attachment to them anymore because they're kind of dissolving and So the second the chakra 2.

0 series Was this realization that you know,

We often talk about the chakras like oh well I have issues in relationship because my second chakras blocked or I have issues with manifestation because my first chakras blocked And the challenge with that is that we have this just even the wording our language is so important the wording Makes us think that there's something wrong with our chakra You know,

There's something wrong with me and if my first chakra is blocked How can I fix it anyway?

Because I it's like I'm inherently flawed Now I'm actually broken from the inside out Then I came across this amazing teacher Cindy Dale She had this idea that there were actually these parallel universes happening on the one hand there was this world of light and This world of light is our chakras because these chakras are Perfection radar chakras are divine perfect whirling balls of energy wheels of energy Our chakra nothing's gonna happen to our chakras.

It's almost like if you lit a flame The flame is just the flame Maybe wind blows it But the flame is a flame you can't like cut off a flame you can't Cut it in half.

It's always just a flame And that's like these whirling wheels of energy inside of us There is no such thing as a half chakra So our basic essence is perfection But then there's this world out there this crazy kooky world that Has been really hard historically You know when we go back in time and you just you know you look into the dark ages of the medieval times or even We look at places and things that are happening in the world right now,

And we're like how can this be happening?

And yet it is and the truth is it's been much much worse And it's it's not unhealthy to admit that This talk today is about healing the interface of the first chakra Which i'll talk about in a second?

But part of that is admitting that the world's nuts Right and not in a negative way not in a oh my god life sucks.

You know ah you know it's not like that It's just going aha It's raining out aha.

It's cold out That's it.

There doesn't have to be a judgment on it.

It's just We've lived in a very difficult time We've lived in a very difficult Situation for millennia And it's important to allow that to land because If we sort of try to look at the world through rose-colored glasses and say No,

I mean we always have to find the good in things and there's probably reason for it You know if we keep doing all that We actually deny ourselves The truth of our suffering And again,

This sounds all very negative,

But it's important.

It's important to actually Allow our experience to be our experience And not sugarcoat it There's nothing worse than you know you're going through something like like forget about childhood stuff right now.

Just right now Let's say you're going through something And you're really hurting And it's really hard and maybe you're in a real dark night And let's say what you choose to share that with someone And they say You know it's not gonna last forever and you know you just you have to look at the bright side I mean you have like this is not helpful In fact,

It's really annoying You know I remember i'll never forget my mom died when I was 25 And I was pregnant with my first Child I was three months pregnant and I remember being at her funeral and of course I was like devastated like absolutely Devastated my whole family was just destroyed some people would come up to you and You could tell they were with you they were like I can't I don't even have the words and that was the most comforting thing And that was the most comforting thing and then there'd be someone who was Uncomfortable with grief or they were trained in a certain religion or something And they would say well,

Don't you worry she's in a better place and they would do this up talk And you just looked at them like You kidding?

That groundedness of even grief Is a healthy first chakra That we actually live in what we're in we don't let our head get all caught up in it This is the challenge is when our head gets caught up In whatever we're experiencing on the earth when whatever we're experiencing in our emotions They're fine It's when our head gets in it That's when we add fear to it.

That's when we add stories to it.

That's when the first chakra becomes really messed up But that grounded experience that that acceptance of what is This is very healthy It's kind of like if your land is flooded You need to admit that it's flooded so that you can build a boat or you can get to higher ground This is real.

This is real life and our world is very heady.

It's very much based in fantasy And when we live in that fantasy world,

We never even admit what's going on in the first chakra So that was a bit of a segue So when I was looking at this chakra 2.

0 series This idea that the inner chakras are perfection including our first chakra But then there's this kooky world out there kooky cruel mean just just separate It's a really really scary place sometimes So what how do you do that?

How do you interact with this really dysfunctional world because it's very dysfunctional.

It's very lacking wisdom lacking intelligence lacking Rational thought look it's it's pretty crazy How do you interact with that?

So as humans we created this interface We created an interface almost like a raincoat against the rain or an umbrella or a snow suit against the cold We created an interface with this World that we were born into which was really important This interface is where the adaptations live This is where the blocks exist.

This is where the programs exist that we had to learn In order to stay alive here Sometimes it's how we learn to stay alive.

Sometimes it's just programming from the world around us,

Which was not healthy Even first chakra stuff like one of the big things in a healthy first chakra It's a world of abundance We live in an absolutely abundant earth And yet if we listen to the news Or we watch the movies Or we talk to certain people You would honestly believe that we all lived in abject Scarcity poverty whatever and some people do like we you know,

Don't have enough money And we don't have enough food and all that kind of thing But it's actually not true.

It's actually a false Scarcity that we've been born into because of all this whole weird organizing the world based on money and you know and then there's this idea of royalty or the elite and that these people are more interesting than these people and These people because they have money are more important than these people These ideas these ideas weren't something we developed out of survival They were just very strange Programs that we adopted from the society that we're living in Maybe based on the people who created that society who created those ideas I don't know.

That's a massive rabbit hole.

That's not really the point if we get caught in that rabbit hole We're gonna miss our own healing but for whatever reason The world has created this tiered Living that these people up here get the abundance These people have a bit more have but have some these people have to work hard for the abundance and these people don't get any This is a deep training and that's all living in the interface because it isn't true Every single soul That is incarnate on this planet Is totally equal in their divinity Every one of us is fully connected to To God to the universe in our seventh chakra to the earth to the mother in our first every single one of us Has these beautiful divine?

Infinite centers inside of us The fact that some of us have been told that oh no no,

But you Based on your birth based on the family you were raised in based on your experiences You don't get any abundance.

You don't get All that there is but this again This whole idea lives in the fantasy world It lives in this idea that those people deserve more those people have the money.

I don't blah blah blah blah blah If we delete this very strange world that I believe is is ending I believe that that's part of this time That this difficult time we're in right now is this Shifting into an ascension of some some flavor.

And again,

I don't think it's something we can even discuss.

Well because It's our consciousness that is shifting and so it's like we can't even fathom it right now But I can it's like you can feel it.

You can feel something interesting and this idea that abundance is or the lack of abundance is is Really just part of this fantasy world that's been sort of pulled over our eyes And then we do experience it like don't get me wrong.

I mean,

It's not that this hasn't manifested But it isn't The reality of the earth it isn't the reality of us It's like you think of something like food if you go to the store and you get a tomato or a pepper And you come home and maybe you eat the flesh but you save the seeds One red pepper if you planted those seeds would create Hundreds of pepper plants or at least 50 Right and each pepper plant would create what five peppers?

From one pepper You just made 250 peppers You go and you buy a squash and you grow all of those squash seeds So many squash like we can't even get talking about zucchini That's actually the world we live in I live in a very small town and it's surrounded by rural areas of farmland And you drive along and you see the farmland,

You know,

It's all cultivated flat and on the edge of the farmland Is the forest and the forest is lush And you can feel the forest almost leaning in to the farmland.

It's almost like saying you can almost feel it saying Just stop working the land for a year And we'll move in and another year and we'll move in I often think you know if we stopped farming for like five years We'd be back to full forest This earth is lush The challenge is is that our eyes have been focused there See see the scarcity see how scary it is see over there And this is a really important thing to really look at the programs in the interface.

It's not us The human being understands abundance All we have to do no matter who we are is lie on the grass and look at the stars We can't actually explain that we can't actually say.

Oh,

Yes.

Ah,

Yes,

Infinite space and stars I understand it but it's not like that it's like you lie there and you look at the stars And they inform the cells of our bodies and we remember We remember That we are also infinite beings with infinite possibilities and infinite potentialities lying within us And this is why it's very interesting to look at the stars and look at the The planets and the stars and the stars and the stars and the stars and the stars and the stars And this is why it's very interesting to be careful about what we listen to and what we watch Do you watch the news?

So for example one of the Challenges of the interface of the first chakra.

So the first chakra is in a healthy space So I can find food.

I can find food.

I can find food.

I can find shelter.

I can find food.

I have community I have nature This is the healthy first chakra But the world out there What if you were raised in a home that said That didn't say that showed us that no actually you can't trust people And there isn't always enough food Being at home isn't necessarily safe Like we didn't make this up What if this was our reality and again if you heard about it on the news,

That's different,

But if it was your reality This is a challenge Because we adapted We created a program to survive that And that program might have been You can't always pursue this food.

So you'd better hoard Save food for a rainy day,

Which can turn into all kinds of things You maybe if you learned very early that people weren't safe maybe Our parents or our family there were alcoholics or there was abuse or there was anger or there was fighting or there was Neglect or there was abandonment We very quickly learned correctly That you can't trust people Of course,

Unfortunately when we're little our family is our entire universe Our parents our siblings our grandparents These actually represent the whole world They represent the seven billion people on the planet and as a little baby,

We don't know any different It's like our own truman show.

I don't ever saw that show but that movie that's the entire world it's kind of like A lot of times when we have our first marriage You know when I was married for 20 years And that was obviously my first marriage and and there's something interesting when you're young you get married for the first time I think this is changing.

I don't think it's the same today,

But when I got married 30 years ago And you start to define the world and relationships based on that relationship You start to make generalizations about for me for men because i'm heterosexual.

So Men,

Uh men always do this men always do this men always do this men always do this In my first marriage not my first relationship in my first marriage and that's that's the official thing So we make all these generalizations based on this one person about an entire gender of people Then maybe one day you get divorced and then you start dating maybe there's some people out there that confirm your Vision of reality But then you start to realize oh,

Oh no,

Wait a minute actually not all men are like that Wow actually Lots of men aren't anything like that Wow And you have to start unprogramming What you learned in the marriage Or maybe from your upbringing about your father or your grandfather or whatever And you have to actually start rewriting that script In a lot of ways.

It's very similar to the childhood script that we write about people And if we were raised in a difficult home even if we were raised in a in a Safe home,

But maybe a neglectful home or a cold home or whatever We will define the world based on that because why wouldn't we?

This is our most intimate experience.

It's good information theoretically The key is to really be aware Of what we've written down in our book of life to say people are like this Women are like this men are like this parents are like this family is this Because if we can get out of that and imagine that maybe some of that isn't true Maybe the truth is that some men are like this some women are like this some Families are like this And again,

It's so important to not let our head get in there and start to ask the questions like Well,

Why did I have to have that?

Why this why that as soon as we start asking this these why questions about the first chakra we're in so much trouble Because for whatever reason and maybe there's no reason That was our foundation.

That was our first seven years.

That was our first foundational experience here on the planet And we can't ask why questions of the first chakra or we will end up navel-gazing about this for the rest of our lives and we will never find a solution and we'll never be able to Reprogram the world And we will never be able to Reprogram that interface between the first chakra in the world So instead we kind of look at it in the same way as we might look at Reprogramming our thoughts about Relationships that we've experienced as an adult And this is really really important because those first years of our life are so formative And a lot and those first few years of our life are our first chakra energetically Some of the things that get caught in that first chakra interface also are childhood traumas and I don't Take that lightly And when we've experienced traumas as children That's a massive adaptation that we had to have in that interface to survive and it's really important to get counseling for that and to do somatic work to release that trauma not just talk therapy to actually There's a great book Peter Levine did a lot of work on trauma and He talks about how one of the worst things that we can do when someone is say in a car accident because the first thing that happens is they go into shock and they start to shake And the first thing that people are trained to do is to give them something to stop the shaking And he talks a lot about how that locks the trauma in the body because the body can't shake it out And this is why like in a lot of like say kundalini yoga that I teach when we want to release depression We actually shake the body or in osho meditations There's all this shaking because we have to shake out the trauma that's locked in our bodies And so the one thing is if for you if if there's a lot of trauma in your childhood Then there's really important things.

This is not something that we just intellectualize ourselves out of There might be some reprogramming that we can do philosophically about people and the nature of life and all that But then we have to really honor that the body has stored this trauma and has to be released somehow and whether it's through yoga whether it's through therapy whether it's through running marathons or climbing mountains or Swimming in the ocean or something There's some way that that trauma has to be released so that you can be whole again And then to have faith in becoming whole again Because one of the things that does also get locked in our systems out of young age in that first chakra interface Is that there's something inherently wrong with me When we are abused like that,

We actually think it's very personal As opposed to understanding that no that person was just a pedophile that person was just an abuser that person that person has An anger issue it isn't about me But as a child we internalize it and we think it's about me and that belief we can carry on through our whole lives That no matter how much healing I do There's something inherently wrong with me And that is something that we can look at and that's why there's something about this Understanding that the chakras themselves are clear The person that abused us is in this shadow world is in this outside world There's an interface in between us some kind of protection But we are fine We were just children and there's something about shifting that philosophy that does help it doesn't replace Um the therapy and stuff but it does help And so it just it helps gives it give us a different context So in this light of that a big part about healing this first chakra interface There comes a need to actually reparent ourself Because ideally as a child we have parents who allow us to grow They make it safe We're nourished And our parents have wisdom and I don't mean wisdom like they're telling us stuff,

But there's wisdom to know What's helpful and what's not?

And it's not controlling or anything like that But there's just an awareness in the parent like if you imagine say a few generations from now when People have been doing the work and they've been doing the yoga and they meditate and they have this deep center and they have children There's sort of this different awareness raising them and again not Putting wisdom in the child,

But just simply having an awareness Really really different than our parents and their parents who literally were just sort of Raising kids on a string,

You know,

Just barely maybe making it by financial Still struggling with the sins of the forefathers and all that kind of thing But imagine how different it could be down the road So sometimes if we recognize in that in ourselves that I really do feel like a child who really is seeking Someone to love me like a parent.

I really need that security.

I need that safety.

I need someone To love me in a very special way Then we actually can become that for ourselves and it's kind of the only way because we We can't if we try to seek it in other people We can do it for a little while and we might be able to find a bit of solace there But in the end we actually need to develop it ourselves So what does that mean?

This is why there's all of this Focus an important focus on self-love self-love because it's literally like Loving ourselves as a mother would love a child or a father would love a child And being kind to ourselves being kind and saying it's all good what you're feeling is important You know really seeing ourselves you ever have that that someone actually looks right into your eyes and sees you That you're not just a player in their world and they're kind of just doing this But they actually look right at you and they see you This is part of reparenting ourselves to look in the mirror and say Hey I'm,

So glad you you were born And genuinely do it and if we can't do it,

Then we have to work on it and we have to play with that And really that's that's the whole journey of itself emotionally To really really understand that and this is a hundred percent possible To be that wise parent for ourselves This is again part of our yogic journey,

You know to actually Do whatever it takes to cultivate and to connect with that deep wisdom inside of every one of us And actually then take that wisdom into our own lives Not to criticize us or anything like that,

But to actually sit and when something is going on That we can take that deep breath sit in that witness self and say I think This would be best for us right now That's reparenting ourselves.

That's actually caring for ourselves accessing that deep wisdom And applying it to our inner child We can do that a huge part of reparenting and feeling that deep part of reparenting and feeling that safety in that first chakra Is being able to trust Because when things went amok if things went amok when we were children We really struggled to trust And maybe it didn't go amok with our parents,

But it went amok in the world.

How in the world can we trust?

So now the question becomes in this journey of reparenting ourselves it is can I trust me?

Can I trust me to Stand up for myself To protect myself It's funny a while ago.

My daughter came on insight timer We were talking about healthy boundaries with other people And she had the most interesting insight about me personally because i've really struggled to have healthy boundaries in my life because i'm too much of a people pleaser She said one of the challenges that you have she's talking to me She said you as a mother were such a mother bear She said you would defend us To the nth and she goes we knew it.

We knew that we you always had our back no matter what And she says the challenge Is for you to be able to do that for you And that was so interesting for me to hear because and it really helped I was like wow That is so true and it's so interesting how I literally would tell you that i'm a pacifist unless you hurt my children Then you're dead then i'm like Durga with all the you know,

The weapons you don't just choose your Choose your method of death And it's a really interesting thing to be protective of self And not to be constantly throwing ourselves to the wolves so that we're always fighting but just to know that deep down I always have my own back I can trust me to show up no matter what And that is so interesting And it's it's a quiet trust.

Sometimes the trust is that you know,

If something's amok in the room I trust myself to remove myself from that situation Or I trust myself to say no When when no is the truth But that trust is now developed between my inner child and my outer world My parent self and my child self however you want to See that or your masculine self and your feminine self if we want to get out of the child analogy Is my masculine self strong enough to protect my feminine self and this is within all of us,

But this is our Journey of reparenting of getting that really healthy first chakra so we feel safe in the world If I always know that I have my back And think of that for a minute of course because i'm super passionate about the masculine feminine dynamic one of the challenges of the world that we've Lived in this shadow world as opposed to the world of light Is that it has been this Unhealthy patriarchy Unhealthy patriarchy Again,

This isn't something about men right?

This is just that energetically in the world the masculine energy Which has mostly played out through men,

But it's not men's fault men are suffering a lot trying to heal from this,

Too But the masculine energy in the world Has acted in separation and then oppressed the feminine So whether it's the men oppressing women or teachers oppressing students or the government oppressing constituents or Man oppressing nature whatever it is.

It's the energy of the masculine oppressing the feminine Constantly in the world is which is what we're suffering from.

This is this weird shadow world and again not gendered There's a pile of women who also do this like so we have to be careful to get out of this gender idea So now all of a sudden why do we have a messed up first chakra?

Or a messed up interface in the first chakra Because our own masculine is also messed up Right because that's the energy of the shadow world That's why when we develop a strong masculine inside each of us That doesn't have to fight will if it has to but it will keep us safe And it'll make sure we're cared for it'll make sure we're nourished the parent of the child Is the masculine regardless of the gender?

Because they care for they nourish they keep safe So that's really what we're developing Is our healthy masculine self To actually keep that first chakra to keep that child safe and that's a really interesting journey Another big part of the first chakra the healthy first chakra is our connection to nature And when I say nature what I mean is the earth the real world there's a real difference between the healthy ecosystem of nature and A downtown core filled with glass buildings and concrete These are very different worlds one is kind of like a creation made of lego and another is you know your garden Yesterday I was out for a walk and I I was just walking down the street.

It was kind of a weird kind of quiet.

It's been really rainy here And so it's kind of overcast and quiet and I was just wandering along and all of a sudden I heard all these birds And I was downtown in my little town here So it was all the concrete and buildings and all that kind of thing,

But all of a sudden I could hear all these birds Chittering which was kind of just uncommon.

It was just a funny sound it didn't make any sense And I turned and I looked and this business that actually was called Nature way or something they sold bird seed and stuff like that They had created this tiny little garden I've never seen it before or I'd walked by it and not noticed it but they'd created this little garden All fenced in and there were sunflowers and there was moss and there was all this and the birds were just going crazy It wasn't even like there were bird feeders,

But there were birds and stuff and I sat there or I stood there Just staring at it and almost like absorbing the sounds of the birds.

It was like so natural it was so heartwarming it just Oh,

It's like every cell of my body just started to vibrate with the sounds of the birds in this middle of this little downtown core When we get to connect with that kind of Nature another part of our being wakes up It's like our human body was designed to thrive in nature I often tell you guys about my first teacher Jim who helped me back in 1999 when I had breast lumps and I had my healing crisis And I was like,

Oh my god healing crisis And he was really interesting.

He used to go and douse for water with dousing rods to find places to dig wells and stuff because we live in a rural area.

I Remember when I was sick when I was working with him He was the first person I ever really trusted.

He was the first person that really Saw me saw me not this facade not the farm wife not the student not the daughter but saw my soul and I trusted him so completely I had a friend who was a very very religious Person and she was very concerned about my faith in this guy because she'd heard stories about him that he was the devil or he was evil or he was whatever,

You know and anyway,

And she was a Journalist and so one day she decided she was going to go and do an article on him because he was also an organic farmer He had he farmed about 3,

000 acres,

Which was a huge deal to farm organically around here especially 30 years ago So she went over to see him and she said She goes well first of all,

I'm here to do this article on you But the real reason I'm here is because I'm really concerned about your involvement with my friend Katrina Because I think you are a bad influence on her and the other thing is she had heard that he doused for water And of course this in her religion.

This was also the work of the devil and you know,

This was wrong And he said the most interesting thing that I've never forgotten and he said Don't you understand that this ability to find water?

Is a human Requirement Before we had all this air quotes civilization We had to be able to feel the water with our bodies We had to be able to know and have a inner Knowing that water is this way There was no other way to do it.

This was how we survived He said how do you think we knew what plants were poisoned?

And what weren't When our hands went over certain berries our bodies would recoil if it was poisonous And other things were nutritious so our bodies would lean in We learn about this in muscle testing now we learn about it in energy medicine We learn about this that this is a completely natural human ability This is our connection into nature So we might call this today because of course we've sort of had this again civilized out of us This natural connection to the earth And so then what happens is we don't trust ourselves to survive here Because we've lost our inherent abilities as humans To even find water or to know whether food is healthy for us or not Right again,

This is what I mean when we live in this very strange fantastical world Created in the mind that has nothing to do with reality right and don't get me wrong I love living in the fantastical crazy philosophical world and all that like I get it but it is really important to also deeply live in the real world What's interesting about that?

So how do we how do we redevelop that?

We start to trust our instincts We start to trust our spidey senses we start to reconnect with that sense inside that says I don't think this is a good idea I don't think we should go there today Just little things and we could say that you know,

We we talk a lot about following satya Following our truth,

But very often we think about our own Following our truth,

But very often we think of satya as kind of these upper Chakra truths.

This is my truth about life.

This is my sort of that kind of truth Satya also exists in the first chakra and the second chakra where our bodies say no way And yes,

No way Yes,

And in the first chakra,

It's we go this way for water We go this way for water.

We go this way for nourishment.

We go this way.

It's kind of like imagining a single cell amoeba A single cell amoeba his first chakra.

Well,

Maybe there's only one chakra.

I don't know They know exactly what's safe.

So there's something over here if it's nutritious the single celled amoeba goes Oh delicious,

And it goes towards that thing And if this is dangerous or bad for it,

It swims away from that thing We need to develop that again We need to trust our instincts again And this is something that all of us regardless of our upbringing need to develop because whether we were raised in an abusive home that we absolutely couldn't trust our senses Or we were raised in the most posh lux luxury and we're so far removed from what's real That our first chakra is completely blown as well Or at least the interface see the language right?

It's all about that first chakra,

But the interface is completely disconnected from reality anyway But we can do this in really tiny ways and again It's like do I feel the truth in my first chakra and it could be even something interesting like Even sexually for example We ignore this we ignore the messages of our yoni or vajra When the vajra says no,

It's it doesn't get hard when the yoni says no,

It doesn't get wet But we don't trust it and then we force it And we drug it and we take this and we take that and we do this and we do that And it's like we're literally going against Our first chakra wisdom there are exceptions to these things,

But i'm just saying as a general chakra talk here Why don't we listen?

Why don't we listen to the wisdom here?

This is how we heal it And it could be something really simple like you just play with this and you walk down the street And there's this little voice that says go this way just trust it like we just have to start developing the pathways of listening to the wisdom in the body And when we start to do that There's a trust that happens I remember at the beginning of um of the pandemic and all that Everybody in our world as i'm sure you guys are saying this massive divide divided split But my daughter again who some of you guys have met She was like utterly unaffected like she absolutely did not take sides like she just She just didn't she just was her own self all the time I remember asking her one day Like maybe a year ago.

I said her and I said What is it that allows you so much inner peace about this?

And she said I don't know.

She says I just know that no matter what happens I trust myself to make the decision that's right for me This is a huge deal That we develop the kind of trust in our own body messages heart messages emotional messages That I know that no matter what I will make the right choice that's right for me This completely reprograms the first chakra interface Because no longer am I at the whim of the world out there Because I trust me And this is really interesting because the first chakra in sanskrit is called muladhara muladhara chakra What it means is base support Where I sit So now imagine yourself sitting cross-legged on the earth And you have a strong base because the challenge is is when we've had a difficult childhood or a difficult upbringing We often try to find that support In other we try to find it in other people we try to find it in relationships.

We try to find it in Institutions we try to find it in philosophies in movements things like that But that doesn't work.

We actually have to integrate it ourselves.

We have to actually have a strong root ourselves And this is where and when we sit And we actually feel ourselves that I am part of this earth I am made of the same particles that this great earth is I trust my connection to that I trust that if my spidey senses say no I will say no out of my mouth If my gut instinct says get out my feet will take me out of this situation This is a huge deal Because if we are driven by our minds instead Well,

We may not leave that job because the money's too good We may not leave that relationship Because i'm afraid that there's nobody else out there Because i'm afraid that there's nobody else out there and so our brain is constantly Going against that first chakra so the way to clear it is to actually sit there and say None of that's real anyway What's real?

Always asking what's real?

And even if the fear is real that's okay.

Fear is just a construct in our brain.

We can go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah Yeah,

What's real on the earth?

What's real?

Oh,

There's seven and a half billion people on the planet There's a lot of people there's a lot of possibility out there Oh There's a lot of other jobs out there There might even be jobs.

I like better Oh that extra money isn't worth losing my family and all my free time Hmm right,

It's a very interesting thing to get into sobriety of the first chakra and I say sobriety very Seriously because the brain Can be drunk on drama can be drunk on love can be drunk on pride can be drunk on Success and how we are seen by others and all that kind of thing and it can just live up here And so ignore the truth So ignore the truth of what we're really feeling Am I even happy?

Do I even like what's going on right now?

Can I be sober enough in my own self to actually look around me and live in the world I actually am living in and then find that abundance find that safety within myself It isn't that the world has to be safe I have to be safe and I have to know that I'm going to follow my spidey senses and skedaddle if I have to It's kind of like those stories of the animals who escaped the tsunami because they listen to their spidey senses And got out of the area That's safety the world can do whatever it wants.

We just have to trust ourselves for that Another really important way to heal that interface The first chakra is also the physical creation of things the manifestation of things Ideas and inspiration may come from other chakras But we actually manifest physically in the world So it's a very interesting thing To manifest the things you want to do And it can be simply the fact that you have choice You can Stay or go you can turn left or right you can make the things or not make the thing You can do all these things you have a hundred percent choice It's almost like that's what lives in the first place That's what gives us the safety but it also allows us to create And there's something really magical about these chakras aligning that we have all this beautiful insight from the upper chakras We go down through the body.

We understand who we are in the third.

We help other people in the second and we manifest out the first So it's one of those things that says You know write the book build the thing I see this is like paint the picture.

This is where I think the things that we once deemed as just hobbies Because life was so focused on work and money in the shadow world in the world that we've come out of and Are still sort of living in The things that we love to actually do with our hands the things we actually love to do with our bodies I think are more important than we ever thought But because we've sort of oppressed the physical No,

The mind is more important than the body Intellectual learning at school is more important than trades and stuff like that We've sort of made this the physical body kind of lowly or something It's not lowly at all You know manifesting things are incredibly important Being of some earthly good to the planet and the people in the village.

This is really important So one of the most beautiful things we can do to heal that interface Is do things that are of earthly good to the people around us Not just theorize not just be in our heads not just have great ideas but manifest the ideas And even if the even if it's hard or even if it's a journey then that's the journey back into the first chakra Make stuff happen Try things make things happen Make stuff happen try things.

Maybe you fail.

Maybe you don't Who cares?

We're just playing You know what?

We can't get too caught up again in the head.

The head is what makes up all the drama Oh look you failed and it didn't work like who cares?

It was fun Did stuff be like a child built a sandcastle built another one went and did something else They're not thinking about that first sandcastle.

They're off doing something else Just keep creating And that's a really active way to shift that first chakra because then you start to realize like wow I made that like I remember The first book I ever wrote was um,

What if you could skip the cancer?

And i'll never forget like looking at the first physical copy of it going Wow I made this This didn't exist before I made it This thing and it could be anything It could be playing a piano.

It could be painting.

It could be anything.

It's like that didn't exist five minutes ago and there's something Really healing about that that shifts us that makes us say no I am a powerful creator Even if all it is is an amazing meal Or an amazing jigsaw puzzle or whatever I did that I altered the world around me somehow Maybe that's why i'm here.

Thank you so much for being here.

I hope you have a wonderful day
