- Intimacy:
- 36:18
- Intimacy is so important for hormone balance because it helps me get out of my head and into my body where my heart and knowing reside.
- What are Chakras?:
- 36:44
- Chakras, by definition, are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes; from organ function, to the immune system and emotions.
- The Fourth Charka:
- 37:39
Each chakra supplies life energy to its corresponding organs. The Fourth Chakra is all about nourishing and caring for ourselves and also others. When balanced, this energy keeps all of the organs of the Fourth Chakra healthy. This includes the heart, lungs, upper spine, shoulders, and of course, the breasts.
Breasts are the most fundamental form and representation of maternal love and nourishment. But, the love that makes maternal nurturance so life-affirming must be replenished regularly—otherwise it leads to health problems in the organs of the Fourth Chakra, often the breasts.
When a woman puts her own personal and emotional needs on the back burner—or forgets entirely that she has them, which our culture has programmed us to do for millennia—the energy of her Fourth Chakra inevitably becomes diminished by resentment, anger, grief, longing, pining for contact, and pure fatigue. This is the energy pattern that invites breast, shoulder, heart, and lung problems. And diseases in those areas cause the majority of deaths and disabilities in women, including breast cancer and heart disease. But, male breast cancer is also on the rise.
