Part 4/9:
Engaging in yogic breaths helps activate our parasympathetic nervous system, enhancing our sense of presence—as we inhale and expand our bellies and exhale to draw them in. This breath work invites connection to our bodies, fostering the environment necessary for our journey towards balance.
Understanding the Third Chakra: The Heart of Empowerment
The third chakra lies behind our navel and is essentially linked to our personal power. When balanced, it cultivates self-esteem, willpower, and clarity of purpose. Disruptions in this chakra manifest as low confidence or aggressive energy. Our practice today focuses on harmonizing this energy center, as balancing it consequently stabilizes the entire chakra system.
