Your Chakras and Your Creativity
Creatively CHAKRA-ing
!!
As I have been formulating these VOGA classes, I have been doing lots of research which has led to a new understanding of how creativity can manifest on many different subtle levels. When we understand more deeply it's amazing how we can access and harness this power.
In previous articles, I have mentioned the word, CHAKRA. Chakra literally translates as 'wheel.' We can think of them as spinning bodies of light energy within our physical bodies. Each corresponds to a different part of the physical body, color, creative purpose and even musical note!!! To make it simple.... I have mapped out the 8 Chakras for you.
To be honest I could probably write an article on each of them and still not cover it all! But in relation to connecting with our creativity, here are some basic points that are most valuable to understand:
1st Root Chakra (Red) located at the tailbone
Center of security & grounding Creates confidence and is the seat of alignment for our voice
2nd Sacral Chakra (Orange) located at the sex organs
Center of sexuality and creativity. Opening here releases our creative energy so that we can begin to manifest it.
3rd Navel Chakra (Yellow) located a few inches below the belly button
Center of our presence Our strength here corresponds to our ability to be heard when we communicate
4th Heart Chakra (Pink/Green) located at the sternum
Center of our compassion, where the Me becomes We. Opening here allows our words and actions to touch other people
5th Throat Chakra (Blue) located at the larynx
Center of our Truth & Expression Creates healthy projection of our creativity. Manifestation of your purpose
6th 3rd Eye Point (Indigo)
located at the point btwn the brows
Center of Intuition Cultivates our Inner Light, Identity, Concentration, Wisdom
7th Crown Chakra (Purple) located at the top of head
Center of the Soul Creates a Connection to your highest self and your ability to elevate others
8th Aura, Light energy that surrounds the physical body (white or varies) Protection from negative influences. This is your Radiance
Glance at the list again, YOU HAVE all of that potential energy inside of you! Kind of amazing, huh? I thought so.... The key is knowing how to balance and access it. Which is why I really utilized these concepts as I created the Voga classes.
One aspect of VOGA is using specific simple physical exercises and specific sounds to balance the Chakra system. Here's a quick trick for honing in.
Pick one Chakra Ex: HEART
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths
In your mind, focus on the physical location. Ex: Sternum
Visualize the color. Ex: Green
Concentrate it's manifestation & it's purpose.
Ex: Allowing your words/actions/Creativity to touch/affect other people
While breathing deep and slow repeat this to yourself a few times
Let me know how it Goes!
Til Next week?
Stay fabulously Creative, Open, Daring and Shocking!!!
Love, Light, Music and Magic
