Grounding Your Roots

I’m looking forward to taking you on a journey through the chakras. For the next 7 workshops, we’ll be journeying through the bio-energetic centres that guide our life force energy through the healing power of music. I’m just here to dance with your energy!

So, what are Chakras even?!

They are a philosophical system that serves as a metaphor for the architecture of your soul. In Sanskrit, Chakra means wheel and originates from the ancient Tantric Yogic philosophy. They are wheel like bio-energetic centres aligned along our core, starting from the base of the spine, all the way to the top of the head. There are 7 chakras and each of them receive, store, and express certain types of energy. We have the Root (Muladhara), Sacral (Svadisthana), Solar Plexus (Manipura), Heart (Anahata), Throat (Vishuddha), Third Eye (Ajna) and the Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra. 

Each chakra correlates to an element starting from the root, the earth…all the way up to the crown, consciousness. The upward current of energy symbolises liberation and access to higher states of consciousness whereas the downward flow of energy activates the manifestation current. You can’t just liberate yourself and stay up there, enjoying that mountain top view forever. You have to bring those beautiful ideas from higher states of consciousness into fruition, into physicality, into this denser reality.

In this workshop, we start with the Root Chakra, Muladhara. We explore the qualities of the root chakra and what it means for us to embody them using music, movement, and breath. 

I would love to have you there :)

Much love,

Raiza
