Trust. Connection. Grounding. Eliminating Fear.
Are you always afraid of what COULD happen? Afraid of not making enough, not being enough? Do you feel home in your body and worthy of happiness? If these reflections resonate, activating your Root Chakra can help! When your root chakra is flowing and balanced, you feel connected to the earth, secure, comfortable in your body and grounded.
The first step to grounding into our Root Chakra is embodying the element of Earth. Moving slow, yet moving mountains. Our Root Chakra is linked to the unconscious mind and our DNA, where our actions and experiences from past lives are stored. During this session I invite you to visualize drawing energy from the earth or roots growing from your feet, deep into the ground beneath you….

Activating your sacral chakra helps stimulate creativity, sensuality and makes you feel more present in your body. The sacral chakra It is located above the pubic bone and below the navel, encompasses the genital region and is ruled by the element WATER. It’s associated not only with your artistic pursuits and your imagination, but also with your sexuality and your ability to implement the necessary changes in your life to plant fertile seeds for your future. It also governs your desires and emotions. Dance is the most powerful tool to balance and renew the sacral chakra, particularly hip opening movements, circular hip patterns and spinal undulations.

The Sanskrit name of this chakra is Vishuddha, which means ‘means 'pure' or 'purification”. I consider this chakra to be the ultimate energetic center that when clear allows our communication with divine consciousness to freely flow, dance and create THROUGH US. The throat chakra helps form our creative identity, our ability to communicate from our heart and live in integrity with our truth. This chakra is the gateway for energy between the lower parts of the body and the head. The gateway to the unseen and astral planes utilizing sound to connect and communicate with the cosmos. The throat chakra controls the thyroid gland and endocrine system. (aka your metabolism and mood! Important....uh YES!) The Throat Chakra is the crossroads between the heart and the head serving as a mediator between emotions and thoughts. Your TRUE dance is born here.
Engage in a somatic dance ritual to heal the throat chakra through guided neck undulations, breath work, and mindful movements culminating in a supported shoulder stand.

This is the energetic center that connects us with the cosmic dance and allows us to release need for control and perfection in our lives and our expression.

The Sanskrit name of this chakra is AJNA – meaning 'perceive' or 'beyond wisdom'. The 6th Chakra is located between the eyebrows and is associated with the color indigo and the element of light. It is the center of intuition and imagination and helps us balance our logic and intuition. In yogic metaphysics, the third eye or “Ajna” chakra helps us feel united with all consciousness. The Ajna chakra is associated to the pineal gland and is in charge of regulating biorhythms and connecting us beyond the physical senses into the realm of subtle energies. This helps us bring our attention inward instead of focusing our attention constantly outward. A balanced third eye chakra brings mental clarity, focus and promotes spiritual connection.

These are all signs of a blocked Crown Chakra. Ancestral mediums such as dancing when practiced from a devotional or intentional space can activate our Crown Chakra and bring life changing downloads.
Located just above the top of the head the Crown Chakra, the 7th chakra and the ‘spiritual center’ which connects us to source. It rules our connection and union with the cosmos. It is beyond the elements and represents our life force that connects us with all things. The Sanskrit name for the crown chakra is Sahasrara. The term "Sahasrara" translates to "thousand-petaled" and is often symbolized by a lotus flower with a thousand petals, representing infinite energy, spiritual enlightenment, and connection to the divine. Balancing and opening your Crown Chakra allows you to move beyond intuitive movement into a state of devotional dance and authentic embodiment.
