I'm creating a program.
It is probably kind of niche sounding, but I'd love for you to give it a chance.
I will build the program for you in my app - see the invitation to online coaching to join for free.
Help me test it - if you want more, let's talk.
Here is how it started in my mind:
7 chakras
7 days
Why?
Power
Because so many of us have blocked chakras due to a victim status.
This is not an excuse; it's the truth.
We are often victimized by the environment that surrounds us, the people in our energy, the foods we eat, our self-talk, and the ways we have stifled ourselves to survive peacefully.
But it isn't peaceful.
If we are burying who we are, we are destroying our own peace.
One can only survive in that energy for so long.
This is a way of using a practice that is supposed to bring us back into balance by basing it in something primal.
Some of us simply need our power back.
And for many of us, the illusion of peace needs to be irreversibly shattered in order for us to get to the core of who we are, which is where that power is hiding.
More than likely, we're going to start in fear.
Let that fear show. Explore it. What is it based in? What memories come up in that fear? Where do you feel it in your body?
Once you start to find your strength, it's going to bring up anger and resentment. That's ok. You're going to be angry at your parents, your siblings, your friends, your significant other, and you're especially going to be angry at yourself.
If you're strong enough to do this, why did you allow all of those things? If they wanted you to be strong, why did they do and/or allow those things?
Where do you feel the anger in your body?
Once you discover your strength, you're going to feel it in sadness. How much time did you waste? How could you have been so stupid? Could have, would have, should have... feel the sadness. It's ok.
Where do you feel the sadness in your body?
I have never been able to speak up for myself. For others, absolutely? Fight in the school bus because somebody hurt my friend? Without hesitation. Being told to stop talking about things I don't understand (i did understand all of it...)... I shut up and convinced myself I was wrong.
But good heavens... when you feel that power bubble up. When you feel that balance, that foundation, those muscles coil up and you know you can fight back...
When you get brave and take that first swing at a heavy bag... when you find your balance and kick that mother fucker (the bag...) for the first time...
And when your voice starts to want to escape. Even before it does, even before you'll allow it to, you can feel it trying to be heard.
For a while, you'll shove it back down.
It's scary. It's inappropriate. It shouldn't be heard. It's wrong. It's stupid. It will just create problems where there are none right now.
Well, there are problems! Right now!!
Surface tension on a pond doesn't mean the fish aren't swimming below.
When you're ready. Or maybe a little before you're ready, break the surface tension. There might be consequences. Deal with them then. You can't see the future. You don't know if they're going to be good or bad.
But can you live with what you're stuck in now?
