Episode 45: Chakra Series: Third Chakra: Claiming Your Personal Power
28 Plays2 years ago
In this episode, we delve into the Third Chakra. We share our journeys with the Manipura Chakra, how to deal with third Chakra imbalance, and how we can balance the third Chakra. The third Chakra plays a vital role in our sense of self. It's related to personal power and willpower. It is also closely associated with the color yellow and the element of fire, akin to that inner fire that we all have to tap into.
Lili grew up in a Latino country, and being of Asian descent, people always reminded her of it, and she struggled with finding her identity. Back home, Lili was not allowed to express herself, and whenever she did, she’d get punished for it. The third Chakra has been a journey for Lili, and thankfully, she has made commendable progress.
Shannon grew up in a culturally diverse background, and at some point, she felt like she had to take up the role of a parent in certain family dynamics. She had to be an overachiever for her to get noticed since she wasn’t as vocal as her sister. As an adult, Shannon has received readings that challenge her to work towards connecting her third and fourth Chakras.
Listen to learn more about Shannon and Lili’s journeys with the third Chakra.

Exploration of the Third Chakra: Manipura
00:00:21
Speaker
So on this episode, we'll be exploring the third chakra.
00:00:25
Speaker
So this is our chakra series.
00:00:27
Speaker
And if you haven't listened to the first and the second, we'll leave links in the show notes.
00:00:34
Speaker
But the third chakra, it's also known as the Manipura chakra in Sanskrit.
00:00:42
Speaker
And it's also one of the seven primary chakras in the human body, according to the traditional Indian and yogic philosophies.
00:00:50
Speaker
So basically the third chakra is located, it's called like the solar plexus.
00:00:55
Speaker
So it's kind of like right in this area here where it sits and it's associated with personal power, self-esteem and self-identity.
00:01:11
Speaker
So it gives you like
00:01:13
Speaker
like a notion of who you are in the world a lot of people also associate the third chakra with ego too so it's something that we can talk about it you know as well yes there you go what a complex thing oh my gosh we could go have like probably like a whole episode like dedicated to the ego
00:01:33
Speaker
It's so easy to like spot when somebody else is in like expressing through their ego.
00:01:38
Speaker
And but yet when you are expressing through your ego, it's it can be like harder to own and recognize.
00:01:46
Speaker
But the third chakra, I'm so excited because this is something that I have been actively working on.
Personal Stories of Self-Identity and Empowerment
00:01:53
Speaker
I think since even before our meditation program that we did a few years ago, it plays a vital role in our sense of self and
00:02:02
Speaker
It's related to personal power and willpower.
00:02:05
Speaker
It is also closely associated with the color yellow and the element of fire, kind of like that inner fire when everyone's like, yeah, you got to just like tap into your inner fire.
00:02:15
Speaker
This is what they're talking about, like the fuel to your fire, like your passion, your drive.
00:02:20
Speaker
This can be associated with the third chakra.
00:02:23
Speaker
So when you're tapping into that sense of yourself, what you're passionate about, how you're running your energy, you're
00:02:30
Speaker
activating the third uh and so it's also closely it was i already said that um it can be balanced and healed through various spiritual and holistic practices and balancing this chakra can contribute to a greater sense of self-confidence and empowerment in one's own life so what has your journey like been like with the third chakra i would love to know
00:02:55
Speaker
I think it's been my whole life.
00:02:57
Speaker
The same.
00:02:58
Speaker
I think it has been all about empowerment and personal power.
00:03:03
Speaker
It's interesting enough, when I first started this healing journey, I never realized how disempowered I was and how I always gave my power away.
00:03:16
Speaker
And it has a lot to do with the way that I was raised.
00:03:21
Speaker
Because my default was to always deflect, taking any accountability of things, always put the responsibility and blame others and never really stand on my own power, you know, and really like stand up for myself.
00:03:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:41
Speaker
That was never allowed in the household where I grew up.
00:03:45
Speaker
Actually, we were punished if you have to stand up for yourself or speak up for yourself, too.
00:03:51
Speaker
But also, on the other side of it, you know, because it's also a lot related to self-identity, you know, if you...
Defining Self-Identity and Purpose
00:03:58
Speaker
If you have listened to previous episodes, like how I grew up in this Latino country being Asian and reminded every day that I was different.
00:04:08
Speaker
So for me, also learning who I was and how to identify myself and how to...
00:04:17
Speaker
even how, not even like, how do I fit in, but who was I, you know, because I wasn't fully Latina, I wasn't fully Asian, like, who was I?
00:04:29
Speaker
So I think one of the things that I probably, as I took this body and spirit was to also work on defining my self-identity.
00:04:39
Speaker
who am i and what is my purpose in life and uh how do i become more empowered so i can also inspire others to be empowered as well i love that but it's been it's still quite the journey it's an ongoing journey the path is never ending it never it's not linear it's not linear yeah and
00:05:01
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like... How has it been for you?
00:05:03
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like mine has been, like, not similar in the sense of, like, our, you know, cultural background, but I feel like as a kid, I had to kind of take on the role of the parent in some dynamics within my family.
00:05:21
Speaker
Like, not
Integrating Chakras for Personal Growth
00:05:23
Speaker
all the time, but, like, kind of, like, having to...
00:05:28
Speaker
in order to, like, you know, get some attention, I had to, like... I took on the role of, like, the overachiever as a kid.
00:05:37
Speaker
And so, because my sister, she has... She's very vocal.
00:05:41
Speaker
She was very vocal about her needs and what she needed, and she's still very vocal.
00:05:45
Speaker
Love her.
00:05:46
Speaker
Love her dearly.
00:05:47
Speaker
I always know what she needs.
00:05:49
Speaker
Where I feel like I didn't really get to express that as a kid, and I didn't know how to do that.
00:05:56
Speaker
And I think a lot of...
00:05:58
Speaker
when you're unable to really express like who you are or what you need and like to keep your energy levels up and like what you need from a survival stance and if you're not getting that.
00:06:11
Speaker
So a lot of my journey has been like the first, second, third in a lot of different ways until I found that we found the meditation school.
00:06:18
Speaker
Then I really activated my, you know, upper chakras.
00:06:22
Speaker
But then it's been this constant like
00:06:25
Speaker
experience and journey of like, how do I integrate my lower chakras with my upper chakras?
00:06:33
Speaker
There's always this like break and I've gotten several readings.
00:06:37
Speaker
And I don't want to say always because there's a lot of power in that too.
00:06:40
Speaker
But a lot of my readings, they're like,
00:06:44
Speaker
you aren't fully integrating the fourth and the third.
00:06:48
Speaker
And that's where your body being connection is.
00:06:52
Speaker
And so being able to like fully be in my body and feel comfortable, it's been this constant battle of like my body needing something and then my being wanting something else beyond my body's scope and abilities.
00:07:06
Speaker
And so like a lot of judgment has been residing deeply
00:07:10
Speaker
You know, between my fourth and my third.
00:07:13
Speaker
And so I associate my third and my fourth together because of that journey that I've been on.
00:07:21
Speaker
And we'll go into the fourth and like the next one.
00:07:24
Speaker
But...
00:07:25
Speaker
Being able to fully kind of embrace like what does it feel like to be in your body?
00:07:30
Speaker
How am I running my energy?
00:07:32
Speaker
And I've been on this recent like wellness journey.
00:07:37
Speaker
You know, fitness is part of that as well.
00:07:41
Speaker
I've, you know, had a lot.
00:07:43
Speaker
I have a lot of social.
00:07:44
Speaker
I have had a lot.
00:07:45
Speaker
I have had.
00:07:46
Speaker
There we go.
00:07:47
Speaker
Being very deliberate about how I say things and like how I'm communicating about my experiences because there's power in words.
00:07:57
Speaker
Oh, absolutely.
00:07:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:58
Speaker
When you say things like.
00:08:00
Speaker
You're speaking it into experience.
00:08:01
Speaker
Yes, pretty much.
00:08:03
Speaker
Because when you say I am, you're basically affirming that.
00:08:07
Speaker
And that's very third chakra because that's your identity.
00:08:11
Speaker
And so where like the second is I feel.
00:08:15
Speaker
And so with the third chakra, whenever you say I am something, it's very concrete.
00:08:21
Speaker
Or I do.
00:08:22
Speaker
Or I do.
00:08:23
Speaker
Yeah, what you do.
Empowerment Through Personal Well-being
00:08:24
Speaker
And so I have been going to the gym pretty regularly, which is great.
00:08:29
Speaker
I took a women's weightlifting class and it's been fun to kind of try on new versions of myself.
00:08:37
Speaker
I feel like I'm like, yeah, I'm going to be a gym girly.
00:08:40
Speaker
And like, I don't have fake nails today, but I did for a few weeks and
00:08:43
Speaker
And I'm like, wow, I'm going to be like a, you know, a nail girly, gym girly, like tapping into that new energy and being able to, it feels really good to do something for myself.
00:08:56
Speaker
Well, that is empowering.
00:08:57
Speaker
It is empowering.
00:08:58
Speaker
If you think about it, because you're doing something that makes you feel good.
00:09:03
Speaker
Yes.
00:09:04
Speaker
And I'm listening to my body's needs.
00:09:06
Speaker
Yes, exactly.
00:09:08
Speaker
And you feel good afterwards.
00:09:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:12
Speaker
When I like check it off the list, I love to do lists.
00:09:15
Speaker
And then when you, when you, you know, when you do something new, not only that you have enjoyed and you want to do it again, you're like, wow, look at what my body can do.
00:09:26
Speaker
Right.
00:09:27
Speaker
Right.
00:09:27
Speaker
Amazing.
00:09:28
Speaker
Totally.
00:09:28
Speaker
And like, I think this women's weightlifting class, it's at Iron and Metal, Noe Valley in San Francisco.
00:09:35
Speaker
If you're listening, if you're looking, if you are a, if you have been a resistant person.
00:09:42
Speaker
gym girly or you don't know what you're doing in the gym and you want to get into weightlifting and you want to learn how to properly lift.
00:09:50
Speaker
We have been seeing Coach Sammy.
00:09:52
Speaker
She's great.
00:09:52
Speaker
I've been going with my friend Ami and we have been properly learning how to do the correct form and in a very safe
The Role of Control in Balancing the Third Chakra
00:10:00
Speaker
environment.
00:10:00
Speaker
Like I feel so safe.
00:10:02
Speaker
And I mean, yes, the classes are an investment, but
00:10:06
Speaker
For me, I'm like this, I would spend that money in silly ways anyway.
00:10:12
Speaker
So it's been also really great to be a financially savvy girly as well and really empower myself to...
00:10:23
Speaker
look at how am I spending my money?
00:10:26
Speaker
How am I spending my time?
00:10:29
Speaker
Um, how am I, what are the thoughts that I'm thinking about myself?
00:10:33
Speaker
And it's really, this episode could not be more appropriate with everything that I've been focusing on, um, focusing how I talk to myself.
00:10:41
Speaker
Like if I am in a negative talk track, um,
00:10:44
Speaker
it's usually correlated to like me nitpicking my body or like not, I didn't do everything on my to-do list.
00:10:52
Speaker
Like that, I have experienced that type of mental guilt in a way.
00:10:57
Speaker
And so that has, that causes me to like not really honor my body's needs or my mental needs either.
00:11:06
Speaker
So like experiencing that like clash, internal clash, it can happen.
00:11:09
Speaker
Yeah, well, because it's invalidating.
00:11:12
Speaker
Right.
00:11:12
Speaker
Whenever you invalidate yourself or your body, then it creates this like spiral.
00:11:17
Speaker
Right.
00:11:18
Speaker
Disconnection.
00:11:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:19
Speaker
It's like, you know, you just get disconnected from your body and then you do things that kind of reinforce that.
00:11:26
Speaker
Right.
00:11:26
Speaker
Exactly.
00:11:26
Speaker
It becomes this like endless cycle.
00:11:28
Speaker
Right.
00:11:29
Speaker
Right.
00:11:29
Speaker
And then, you know, confirmation bias.
00:11:31
Speaker
Pretty much.
00:11:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:11:33
Speaker
And then you're just like so used to it that it's just like it's habitual.
00:11:37
Speaker
Right.
00:11:37
Speaker
And it's familiar.
00:11:38
Speaker
So you just keep doing it.
00:11:39
Speaker
Right.
00:11:40
Speaker
And it's like your own personal health.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:42
Speaker
Until you develop either like some sense of self-awareness.
00:11:46
Speaker
So one of the things to help also...
00:11:49
Speaker
balance the third chakra is just having some sense of awareness because i also see the third chakra too very related to control either self-control or lack of control you know whenever like i'm giving someone a reading and i'm drawn into the third chakra
00:12:10
Speaker
A lot has to do, the powerlessness that people feel has a lot to do with feeling out of control.
00:12:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:17
Speaker
Either internally or within their outside situation.
00:12:21
Speaker
And I have gone through a very recent situation when I felt like a lot of things outside me were out of control.
00:12:28
Speaker
But then again, like I, at the end of the day, I have to decide...
00:12:35
Speaker
Where do I want to invest my energy?
00:12:37
Speaker
If I'm investing my energy and putting all my time and energy on things that I don't have control over, it's a waste of energy.
00:12:45
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:12:46
Speaker
And you will feel out of control because you can control things that are outside of you.
00:12:51
Speaker
The only thing that you can control is your inner world.
00:12:54
Speaker
So for me, it was just like taking a look and saying, well, I can control my emotions.
00:13:00
Speaker
I can control my actions.
00:13:01
Speaker
So this is what I...
00:13:03
Speaker
can control and that gives me a sense of empowerment.
00:13:07
Speaker
Right.
00:13:08
Speaker
And just tapping into my personal power.
00:13:10
Speaker
I love that.
00:13:10
Speaker
What are the things that I can control and what I can do to help myself, you know, not feeling like out of control.
00:13:18
Speaker
And you see this like in people that are very controlling.
00:13:22
Speaker
Oh, yes.
00:13:22
Speaker
That's, you know, in a bad like all of us has met or are in situations where we know someone, they're very controlling, very like, you know, rigid in their ways, like very black and white with things, you know.
00:13:35
Speaker
So that's an imbalance of the third chakra.
00:13:38
Speaker
Right, right.
00:13:39
Speaker
Either not trusting the people around them or...
00:13:43
Speaker
themselves in a lot of different environments or situations.
Impact of Childhood Experiences on Control and Self-Esteem
00:13:46
Speaker
Like, I think the control thing, like, you know, I can just think of, like, whenever my friends have dated men who are super controlling with, like, you know, whether it's, like, what they eat, like, how often they go to the gym, how they're spending their money, like,
00:14:04
Speaker
it makes me think that and see energetically that there's some type of like, they either don't trust themselves to be in control of their own life.
00:14:15
Speaker
So they hand the keys over to somebody else to drive the car.
00:14:19
Speaker
I mean, metaphorically speaking, or they just, there's, there's an energetic match.
00:14:25
Speaker
If you're in a relationship dynamic where someone is just taking control all the time and like some people are more subtle about it,
00:14:32
Speaker
too like you don't see that they're controlling right away and then all of a sudden you might be in a dynamic but you have to ask yourself what is in my space and my belief system where i essentially allowed this to happen yeah you're matching that yeah you know at different levels and also i see it's very related to how people's upbringing if you look at your childhood and how you
00:14:59
Speaker
there might have been situations when you felt things were out of control in your life.
00:15:05
Speaker
And how is this like playing out in your current life?
00:15:10
Speaker
You know, could have been situations within the parents or siblings or whatever that was that made you feel like you had no control over.
00:15:20
Speaker
And therefore there's this feeling of...
00:15:23
Speaker
whether it be like a low self-esteem or insecurity about things.
00:15:28
Speaker
So therefore that kind of matches, you know, this imbalanced energy.
00:15:32
Speaker
And again, like the way that you also feel in your physical body, when people complain a lot about like digestive issues, kidney, liver, it's all about also related to the third chakra because it's all like in the solar plexus, like the navel area.
00:15:47
Speaker
You know, when you feel like all those physical sensations in this area, so it's...
00:15:52
Speaker
a great guide to explore the third chakra.
00:15:56
Speaker
Right.
00:15:56
Speaker
Because it's very related to that.
00:15:57
Speaker
It's your body telling you like, hey, you might be feeling out of control or you might be feeling controlled by somebody else or a dynamic or situation at play.
00:16:08
Speaker
And so your body stores that energy.
00:16:11
Speaker
It's like keeping it on reserve.
00:16:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:13
Speaker
Well, the body keeps core.
00:16:15
Speaker
Like, so even there's a book about that.
00:16:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:17
Speaker
The body keeps the score.
00:16:18
Speaker
The body keeps the score where the body memorizes everything.
Practices for Self-Reflection and Positive Perspective
00:16:22
Speaker
everything that has happened to you and the way that it shows up later in life is with a not a memory but a reaction yeah so sometimes you react in certain ways you don't even know why totally but there are a lot of like underlying memories and it might be more like in a subconscious level so i think it is important to explore certain behaviors and patterns whether it be through therapy
00:16:48
Speaker
counseling, journaling, or meditation, yoga, whatever is it that you feel like it's going to be supportive in this journey of self-reflection and awareness.
00:16:59
Speaker
Because the more you know yourself, the better quality of life.
00:17:06
Speaker
You're going to have.
00:17:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:07
Speaker
You'll attract more certainty if you're certain within yourself and you're I mean, granted, perspective is everybody's reality.
00:17:16
Speaker
Right.
00:17:16
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:17:17
Speaker
Like, so if you have the perspective of certainty and like for me, I've been operating like this is something I keep saying at work all the time, but like everything always works out.
00:17:26
Speaker
Everything always works out in your favor.
00:17:28
Speaker
Exactly.
00:17:29
Speaker
If you believe in that.
00:17:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:30
Speaker
It will.
00:17:31
Speaker
Exactly.
00:17:32
Speaker
And I wholeheartedly believe like everything is always working out for you.
00:17:36
Speaker
And it's taken me a long time to get to that point of like cleaning out a lot of my victim energy from like friendship dynamics.
00:17:45
Speaker
And like, I remembered I would get my feelings hurt all the time in high school and feel powerless and insecure.
00:17:53
Speaker
and like really nitpick and like I kind of attacked my just trying to figure out logically like why you know they someone else thinks it was all externally focused yeah yeah and I think as soon as I started I mean this program I keep I could probably sell it every day to anyone who's willing to listen but like as soon as I realized like oh I have to flip that and even like I'm still like
00:18:16
Speaker
learning like when I like I've talked to you about this I've talked about you know just I'm not dating anyone currently not really open to dating anyone currently but like it when I get to that point like I when I was dating I was like oh I wonder if they'll like me I hope they like me and like it's putting the power on them to validate me by them liking me and then that I
00:18:39
Speaker
then I'm powerless
Setting Boundaries and Asserting Personal Power
00:18:40
Speaker
in that dynamic.
00:18:40
Speaker
Yeah, because the action, the fault should be, do you like them?
00:18:45
Speaker
Right, and I've never liked any of the guys I've dated.
00:18:48
Speaker
Right, so that's taking your power back.
00:18:50
Speaker
It's just saying, do I like them?
00:18:52
Speaker
So it's kind of a way of standing up for yourself, but also being assertive.
00:18:58
Speaker
And it's one of the things that I have been also working on a lot, is just being assertive with my own decisions.
00:19:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:05
Speaker
and what I want and what I need.
00:19:08
Speaker
And it's been a process because being someone that also, I always been a people pleaser, always saying, never knew how to say no to things.
00:19:18
Speaker
I didn't know what boundaries were until like not too long ago.
00:19:22
Speaker
So all of this has been this journey of learning how to become more assertive in situations.
00:19:28
Speaker
And again, this doesn't mean that I'm aggressive, that I'm rude.
00:19:32
Speaker
It just means that I really stand up for what I believe and what I need at that moment.
00:19:36
Speaker
You're actively tapped into yourself.
00:19:39
Speaker
And again, being assertive, it means that I am tapping into my own personal power.
00:19:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:46
Speaker
And that makes me empowered.
00:19:47
Speaker
And hopefully this also like it creates a ripple effect.
00:19:50
Speaker
about me where people also feel comfortable and safe also standing up for themselves.
00:19:54
Speaker
Totally.
00:19:55
Speaker
But you know, one thing I wanted to share the way that I really realized how empowered I felt.
00:20:02
Speaker
So when I was started taking this meditation train again, I'm not trying to sell this, just saying this is we're not paid to.
00:20:10
Speaker
This is not sponsored.
00:20:11
Speaker
Not sponsored, just saying, you know.
00:20:14
Speaker
I remember when I started taking classes and I took, you know, there's like different levels that we take.
00:20:20
Speaker
And I took step one.
00:20:23
Speaker
And I remember that all my dreams that I used to have, I was never able to walk like standing up.
00:20:30
Speaker
Oh, weird.
00:20:31
Speaker
Yes.
00:20:31
Speaker
And everything, whenever I have to walk in my dreams, it was always like crawling or...
00:20:36
Speaker
Or me having to like hang on to things to like actually like moving forward and standing up on my two feet.
00:20:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:45
Speaker
And speaking of feet, Zoe, Shannon's cat, he's just rubbing herself into my to my feet here.
00:20:53
Speaker
You can't see it, but it's very cute.
00:20:57
Speaker
So this used to be my dreams through my whole life.
00:21:01
Speaker
And then when I started this program, I remember I was finished at
Visualization and Meditation for Empowerment
00:21:06
Speaker
step one.
00:21:06
Speaker
And I remember I had this dream where I was actually hiking.
00:21:12
Speaker
I don't know, I was up some rocks or whatever there was.
00:21:16
Speaker
And I was wearing hiking boots.
00:21:18
Speaker
And I remember looking at my hiking boots and saying, I'm standing.
00:21:22
Speaker
That's interesting.
00:21:23
Speaker
And actually like standing up and actually saw myself like hiking up.
00:21:27
Speaker
Right.
00:21:28
Speaker
Straight up.
00:21:29
Speaker
So something shifted.
00:21:31
Speaker
So something definitely shifted.
00:21:32
Speaker
And just the realization of that, of like how I started feeling empowered and feeling like I could stand up for myself.
00:21:43
Speaker
For me, that was like a big, like a visual reminder.
00:21:49
Speaker
of this journey that I've been in, that I started healing, whatever I was working on back and just becoming more assertive in my life.
00:22:01
Speaker
And to me, that was just like where you finally, when you put in the keys into the lock and then it clicks and opens this door and I'm like, wow, this is possible.
00:22:15
Speaker
Because when you tap into possibilities,
00:22:19
Speaker
That's when you're like, yes, you're capable.
00:22:22
Speaker
Yeah, it'll be part of that confirmation bias.
00:22:25
Speaker
Exactly.
00:22:26
Speaker
It changes from uncertainty and insecurity to certainty and knowing that things are going to work out for you and knowing that you can trust in the universe or whatever process you're going through and just knowing that the outcome will be in your favor, whatever that means for you.
00:22:46
Speaker
Yeah, I agree.
00:22:46
Speaker
That's amazing.
00:22:49
Speaker
Yeah, so there was like a very, a turning point in my life when that happened.
00:22:56
Speaker
But it's still, you know, and again, this type of things is not going to happen overnight.
00:23:03
Speaker
It's something that really you have to become aware and, you know, it's a consistent
Chakra Healing with Colors and Crystals
00:23:08
Speaker
work.
00:23:08
Speaker
Yeah, it is consistent work.
00:23:11
Speaker
Something that you can do to balance the third chakra.
00:23:16
Speaker
It involves meditation.
00:23:18
Speaker
You can practice yoga, deep breathing exercises.
00:23:21
Speaker
I know that you've been practicing breathing exercises.
00:23:24
Speaker
Yeah, a lot of breath work.
00:23:25
Speaker
Yeah, breath work.
00:23:26
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:23:26
Speaker
Yeah, and like also visualizing.
00:23:28
Speaker
And you can wear the color yellow to tap into that energy, which is really interesting.
00:23:32
Speaker
You know what's interesting?
00:23:34
Speaker
I am not a big fan of yellow.
00:23:35
Speaker
I am.
00:23:36
Speaker
not a yellow girl either doesn't really match my complexion no i don't even own anything yellow maybe are you like an autumn season palette like probably more like the darker shades do you wear gold yeah yeah yeah you're probably in autumn yeah you can wear like mustard or like gold you know probably there's different versions of yellow yellow i'm not like really like at
00:24:00
Speaker
Some people look great in yellow.
00:24:01
Speaker
Oh, totally.
00:24:02
Speaker
But people like me that I do have more like a yellow undertone.
00:24:06
Speaker
So it's like, oh, no, thank you.
00:24:08
Speaker
That does not look good at all.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:11
Speaker
I think I'm a light summer, so I would have to wear like a cream, creamy, light yellow.
00:24:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:16
Speaker
But I would say, you know, whatever resonates, I don't usually like associate chakras and colors.
00:24:22
Speaker
I know that, you know, that's kind of what it spread like out in literature, like chakras being like related to certain colors.
00:24:31
Speaker
Like even when I am reading people's energy, the chakras, they always have different colors and they shift colors when you start healing them, you know, so and they all have like different meanings.
00:24:41
Speaker
So.
00:24:42
Speaker
I would say like whatever resonates, you can ask yourself when you are in a quiet space, oh, what color feels healing to my third chakra?
00:24:51
Speaker
And just bring that color in.
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:53
Speaker
You know, whatever feels soothing to you.
00:24:55
Speaker
I would just like steer away from like black.
00:24:59
Speaker
right and this type of colors you know but whatever resonates with you it's also it's very healing you know it's a vibrational healing that you bring into your chakra yeah i wear citrine and that's a yellow like a crystal yeah the color yeah the crystal and we were talking about isis earlier it's i wear an isis necklace with oh it's the goddess yeah it's the goddess isis um i wear a necklace with the goddess isis and it has a yellow it's like a pendant and i
00:25:25
Speaker
Yeah, well, it's very related to abundance.
00:25:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:29
Speaker
Gold.
00:25:29
Speaker
Exactly.
00:25:30
Speaker
Success.
00:25:31
Speaker
All that stuff.
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:32
Speaker
The sun.
00:25:33
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:25:34
Speaker
Citrine.
00:25:34
Speaker
And I went on a walk today.
00:25:36
Speaker
I love walking at like 11 a.m.
00:25:38
Speaker
That's kind of like my favorite time to walk because the sun isn't too hot.
00:25:42
Speaker
And it was gorgeous.
00:25:43
Speaker
And I feel like that set my energetic space up for the day.
00:25:48
Speaker
And I love walking in the morning because it does... There's something about...
00:25:53
Speaker
Doing something for yourself.
00:25:55
Speaker
For me, I've been activating this like really integrating and listening to my body's needs when it comes to, you know, different foods to eat and like trusting that, excuse me, trusting that I'm on...
00:26:12
Speaker
I'm doing the thing that I need to do for myself to feel as vibrant as possible.
00:26:18
Speaker
Like my goal is to show up fully, especially in, you know, in any context that I'm in where, you know,
00:26:26
Speaker
I have ADHD, so that can make me feel like a space cadet.
00:26:30
Speaker
And I've been on my medication, which is great.
00:26:34
Speaker
And I think that's been helping me tune the excess noise out and really tap into listening to my body's needs and not promoting medication at all.
00:26:46
Speaker
But I think for me, when I'm not on it, I notice that I'm not in my body anymore.
00:26:51
Speaker
And I float away because I want to be creative and like tap into the astral plane.
00:26:55
Speaker
And like, that's my natural state.
00:26:57
Speaker
But for me on this journey of like integration and moving like progress for integration between the body and the being,
00:27:06
Speaker
I think it has helped to really, you know, move my body and move that
Connecting Physical and Spiritual Self
00:27:12
Speaker
energy.
00:27:12
Speaker
And that could be helpful for you as well.
00:27:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:15
Speaker
Well, you have to think that the, because we have talked about, have talked about so far about the first, the second and the third, and this is what we call the lower chakra.
00:27:24
Speaker
So they're very body related chakra.
00:27:27
Speaker
So they're very in the physical world, right?
00:27:29
Speaker
So things like the emotions and the feeling of like, um,
00:27:35
Speaker
moving on in life and surviving and all of that control.
00:27:39
Speaker
So this is all about this lower chakras.
00:27:42
Speaker
So that's why you feel it so intensely.
00:27:45
Speaker
The tangibility of it.
00:27:46
Speaker
Yeah, the physical, right?
00:27:48
Speaker
So it's very much related to those chakras.
00:27:51
Speaker
And then as we move on into our chakras here is that, you know, we're going to start moving out of the more, less on the physical.
00:27:57
Speaker
And then we're diving into the upper chakras.
Listener Engagement and Conclusion

Speaker
belong in a setting.
00:28:32
Speaker
I mean, how does the third chakra play in your life?
00:28:36
Speaker
I mean, securities, I think we all have them, right?
00:28:39
Speaker
And that's normal.
00:28:40
Speaker
But how does it show up?
00:28:43
