Strengthen Your Third Chakra in Times of Chaos

I'm hearing a lot of confusion-, frustration-, and whip-lash-created stress out there. I know a lot of you are taking a social media break, while some are tuning out of news. And I am all for whatever helps you keep your sanity! So much so that I dedicated a whole podcast series to Fostering Equanimity During Times of Change.

We often talk about “change,” but sometimes "chaos" or "turbulence" is the better word. And when life feels out of control—whether through political shifts, cultural upheavals, or personal struggles—it can deplete our third chakra, leaving us exhausted and powerless.

So regardless of the cause, if you’ve noticed yourself:
✔️ Feeling low-energy
✔️ Avoiding tasks
✔️ Losing motivation
✔️ Struggling to focus

…your solar plexus chakra (Manipura) may be in need of support. And this week's podcast episode is all about it.

This week I invite you to try an acknowledgment practice. At the end of the day, simply write down three things you DID today. Think of it as a gratitude practice for your own efforts. Whether it’s making the bed, sending an email, or taking a deep breath when you needed one—it counts.

Energy begets energy, and when you see your daily wins add up, your motivation and confidence will naturally rebuild. (Counting "wins" is one of my Whole Life Alignment students' favorite things we do!)

Also, in Chakra Savvy™ Episode 55, I guide you in a short practice using tools from Chakra Savvy: Reset Your Life Game Plan:
🔥 Solar plexus tapping – Awakening the power center
🔥 Bhastrika breath (bellows breath) – 7x3 rounds to energize
🔥 "RAM" mantra chanting – 7x3 rounds to strengthen Manipura
🔥 Visualization – A glowing sun at your center, radiating confidence

I encourage you to check out the podcast series. My intention is always to teach you the tools I have found most helpful from the bounty of knowledge that yoga provides. And if there's something that's working for you right now, let me know! After all, you are your best guru.

Much love
