But if you're driving or in a place where you can't do this, you can listen to the episode and come back to this activity.

So refreshing, right?

Norma Reyes:

It's always nice to do a body scan. And now that you've done one, I want you to write down or make no where you felt any sensations. What type of sensations were they and any feelings come up. And the reason for this is, you know, I want you guys to do a body scan so that when we start talking about these chakras, you can correlate where you're feeling maybe some stagnant energy, maybe some good energy, right and what does that relate to? Because every part of your body correlate to the seven chakras in your body. There are seven chakras in your body starting from the base of your spine, which is called the root chakra all the way to the top of your head which is called your crown chakra. Okay, so let's go do a quick review of these. And your first chakra is your root chakra. It's oftentimes called your base chakra. The color for that chakra is read. It's located at the bottom of your spine and it correlates with your lower back your adrenal glands, your blood, your skeleton, your feet, your knees, hips, teeth, nose, your rectum. And your spine is also associated with a physical stability, security, self sufficiency and responsibility for self. And I'm going to do a quick overview of these right the seven chakras and then I'm going to correlate them to your career. So stay tuned for that. Now, the second chakra is your sacral chakra. The color is kind of like a kidney color like a reddish, reddish brown reddish orange color. It's located below your navel and it regulates your ovaries, testes, kidneys, and bladder, prostate, pelvis, body fluids, adrenal glands, the large intestine and the lower back and the sacrum. It's associated with sexuality, sensuality, mentoring and honoring and nourishing ourselves. The third chakra as we go up our chakras is the solar plexus chakra. The color is yellow, it's called solar plexus. So the solar plexus is above your your belly button but below your sternum. It's kind of like your upper stomach, your abs right think of your source of power. And it regulates the pancreas, stomach, liver, gallbladder, small intestines, spleen, abdomen, sternum, and your back, going from the thoracic vertebrae to the first lumbar vertebrae. It's often associated with inner peace, personal power, self confidence, self worth, self acceptance and trusting and accepting our gut feeling. Now the next chakra as we go up is the heart chakra. It is the color green, it's in the middle of your chest. It regulates your heart, lungs, circulation, hands, shoulders, breast and upper back. It's associated with love, generosity, compassion, and forgiveness. The fifth chakra is the throat chakra, and it's the color blue. It's located in your throat area and regulates the thyroid, throat, mouth, teeth, jaw, neck, ears, arms, the Bronco tubes, upper lungs, shoulders and tongue. It's associated with communication willpower, truthfulness, setting boundaries, and expression. The next chakra is the sixth chakra, the third eye chakra, and the color is Indigo. It is located between your eyebrows, and regulates your eyes, nose sinus had an face and it's associated with wisdom, detachment, discernment, imagination, intuition, knowledge and trusting any higher source. And the last chakra the seventh chakra is our crown chakra. It is a violet color. It's at the top of our head and it regulates the pineal gland, skull and brain. It's associated with grace, beauty, serenity, oneness with all our divinity, selflessness, selfless realization, understanding and enlightenment. So these are the seven main chakras that everyone usually talks about. We do have other chakras, we do have other points in our body. But these are the main seven. And there are some theories that as we grow, if you think of our development from zero to one, that would be the first chakra we are setting, or we are hoping that we have a stable home security that our parents are able to provide for us. And then you know, years one to two would be the second chakra and you go up and those actually repeat each, you know, seven years. Now, if you think back to where you might have been and feeling maybe some tension some feelings, you can look up which chakra it was or go back and try to listen to it again, make note of where you felt it. Okay, so now that we've done the body scan, I've reviewed the seven chakras. Let's go ahead and see what kind of career blocks you might be having and they're showing up in your chakras. So a root chakra, if you guys remember that was your lower back, blood skeleton feet, knees, hips, teeth, nails, anything basically from the tip of your spine all the way down. That would be your root chakra. And this might be a feeling of instability at work. Maybe there's been some constant layoffs recently at your workplace or unproductive changes that aren't really helping your department or your role, feel like it's actually working or constantly feeling that you're underpaid. And so that might be why the Root Chakra is bringing about. Then if you go up a little to your sacral chakra, in that was any areas of tension or feeling maybe even just failing kidneys, bladder, pelvis, body fluids, adrenal glands, large intestines, this could just be feelings of being overwhelmed or stress. So your sacral chakra may be, it's telling you that you're finding yourself in a place of lack or scarcity in relation to your career. You may also find it difficult to connect with others at work, or you may find it difficult to ask for help or go in a different direction in your work. The next is the solar plexus, and that's above your navel below your sternum. And the areas that it would affect are the pancreas, stomach, liver, gallbladder, small intestines, abdomen, anywhere from your mid back, right from your low back to your mid back. And this might be telling you that you're feeling like a victim at work with no power or validation. You may lack confidence in your work, and struggle to attract more abundant opportunities. You may lack some self discipline at work, and you might find yourself constantly procrastinating or daydreaming and avoiding your reality. Next is the heart chakra, which is located in your chest. And so the heart regulates hands, shoulders, bras upper back, and the heart chakra. What it's trying to tell you is that maybe you are feeling afraid to communicate at work due to fear of rejection. Constantly not feeling valued or respected at work, holding back at work, not giving yourself fully feeling your workplace doesn't deserve you or your boss work. Perhaps you're overthinking past actions, feeling like you could have done something better or differently, such as maybe getting a different career or having a different degree or making a different decision. So those are things that your heart chakra is telling you. Next is the throat chakra, which is associated with your throat, your gyro mouth, T jaw, neck, ears, arms, your lungs, shoulders, and tongue. Your throat chakra is telling you that you may feel that you're not able to express your authentic self at work. You may feel like you're constantly being criticized at work about your decisions or your judgment. So that would be your throat chakra. It could also show up you know like a cough or flum so whenever you're having any type of throat issues you can ask yourself you know is there's a truth that you are not speaking is their truth that you're having to hold in. This doesn't mean you know that you need to change anything at work. Maybe you don't feel safe to be able to be your authentic self or to speak your truth. This is really to do some self reflection as to what's going on. And then make the best decision for yourself on what your next step is. And we move up to the third eye chakra, which is located between your eyes and it's associated with your eyes, nose sinuses had an face. And what your throat chakra may be telling you is that you may not look like you're following your intuition or your gut decisions. You're making your choices very logically versus what feels right to you in regards to your career or your work, looking back at your decisions and thinking about, you know, are you thinking of things like I should have followed my gut. Or perhaps you're not learning from past experiences and are continuing to do things the same way because they logically make sense. Versus following your intuition. It can also mean that you're not open to the ideas of others at work. And you're not doing an honest self evaluation of yourself and how it affects your work. And finally, to the seventh chakra, your crown chakra, which is at the top of your head, and it regulates the pineal gland, skull and brain. And so this, if you got any sensations in your skull, on top of Howard may be having a headache, they could be related to your crown chakra, this crown chakra is telling you that you might be feeling disconnected from your life purpose, your career feels more like an transaction versus a pouring of love, you may have an overall feeling of numbness that you can't pinpoint to anything directly. For example, you feel like you're living your day on repeat. And really, that comes from boredom. And if you don't start taking some action to change that, you'll go down the emotional spiral of then you know, feeling frustrated, agitated, maybe feeling of loneliness, depression, just completely disconnected to others and to what you're doing. So that's a quick overview of the seven chakras, and then how they relate to work. There's so much more to it, I have a whole webinar on it. And if you would like to know when I'm going to host my next workshop, make sure to get on my email list. I don't have a date for it yet. But I do love hosting these and teaching people how to do quick body scans, so that you can find your own inner direction, because sometimes people you know, when we talk about listening to our intuition, sometimes we don't know maybe our intuition, our thoughts are clouding our thinking too much for us to really get a clear grasp of what is going on with us. And our bodies are always telling us what's going on there clues right. So if you're having some knee pain, yes, you might have like, overdone in working out, maybe you fell. But it is also a message from our body to tell us, hey, we're calling out for attention, right? And it could be I need to eat healthier, right? Or, hey, there's some root chakra issues that you're not facing, right? There's some instability, there's some financial insecurity that's going on, but we're ignoring them. And I did pour three different cards with you while doing this. So I want to share those with you guys. The first one is the fourth chakra, the heart chakra, about unconditional love and the affirmations for it are when I am loving to others, I am helping bring out the innate love within them. So they also feel uplifted, worthy and cared for. The next one is I love myself the way I am not the way I was or could be an I extend this love to others. And the last one is I teach others how to love and respect me by how I love and respect myself. The next card I got was the base Root Chakra. And it talks about self sufficiency. The affirmations the card has is by finding material security without being materialistic, I will gain satisfaction, stability and inner strength. I am resourceful I put in the effort to be responsible for supplying fundamental needs in my life such as shelter, food, water and clothing. I take responsibility for where I am now and how I move forward. All right, and the next card is the fifth chakra which is the throat chakra and it's connecting with spirit. I develop a quiet mind that allows me to tune in and get in touch with my higher self or my spirit. I listen for the guidance that is there waiting for me to hear I am open to the truth and I welcome spiritual inspiration from others. I will benefit greatly by practicing meditation and stillness. I asked for inner guidance to assist me in getting more in touch with my spirit. I know that if I asked for guidance, it will be given. Okay, everyone, that's it. I hope you enjoyed this episode because I know that I did. I love mixing all of the tools that we have available to us, whether it be an astrological chart, a chakra chart, you know, anything that will give us clues and confirmation to our own inner intuition and guidance. And then I help people translate that to a tangible career goal to a tangible one 510 year goal, you know, because that is what I think we all need to be doing is combining our logical side, our very right brain all all these steps side, and our intuition that tells us I think I should go this way which is completely different and not the way everyone thinks we should do it. If you have any of those thoughts 100% Follow that because you absolutely know what is best for you and your career and I will leave you with that. You know best what is best for you and your career.
