I do this exercise where I ask the students to think of someone who is in their life who is dominant in one of their chakras. And then for each person to imagine they are your yoga student who has come to you for advice. How do you help them find balance?
When we are doing our practice you want the energy to rise to the 6th chakra and take you inward. But in your daily life the 24 hours of each day need to be divided equally. How much of your day do you spend on survival and earning a living? On seeking pleasure? On asserting your power? On being kind and compassionate to others and being of service? On expressing your truth and letting creativity flow through you? And I’m going inward to experience the true nature of your Self? How are you out of balance? What would help you find more balance?
