My little lovely ladybug Scarlet is awake, so I thought I would just record this anyways. Amelia's taking a nap. Okay, so let me tell you a story.

Yesterday I was actually walking momo, the dog and the two girls in their double stroller. I was walking down the street and some lady pulled up in her car right next to me. And this happens all the time, the neighborhood I live in is there's a lot of people that live here, so I don't really know, most of the people that live in my neighborhood, but almost every time I'm walking down the street with my dog, , not every time, but it's happened like a lot of times someone will pull over and they'll be like, oh my God, your dog was like on my porch yesterday.

Or like, oh, that dog. Yeah, I saw him running in the baseball field. You know, , my dog, Momo, she's an escape artist and she escapes a lot.

So Momo is an escape artist. She gets outta the yard all the time and she'll just run. I don't even know where she is. She'll run around and she always comes home. I either find her just waiting outside, I didn't even realize she was gone and she'll already be back. I don't,

but it happens pretty often and to the point where actually one of my neighbors called the police and said, . Then my dog was running around, which like is true , when the police showed up at my door and they were like, Hey someone called us and we could give you a ticket next time this happens.

But yeah, so MoMA gets out a lot and it's, it's become a problem. And every time someone pulls up to me on the street, like if someone, I don't know, it's always because of Momo, they're like, ah, I know your dog. She is been inside my house. . Okay. No one's ever said that Momo's been inside their house, but I have another dog, Danny.

And, I was actually walking Danny. It was just me and her and we were walking down the street and it was a couple streets away from I street and somebody was like, oh my God, I know this dog. I was like, whatcha you talking about? This dog. She was in my kitchen last week and we were hanging out and then she just ran outta my house and left.

But she was hanging out at my house. What? I don't even understand. And the confusing thing for at least not for Danny, for Momo, the confusing part for Momo is she's actually a Mexican and in Mexico where she was born, dogs are all kind of like outdoor cats. they just kinda run around wherever they wanna go. I mean she was like a couple months old when we left Mexico, but.

Anyways. Yeah, Momo gets out, but this lady, she drove up next to me and I was all prepared for her to be like, Hey miss your dog. I see her running around here all the time. I get, I just, I get it a lot. And instead she said, Hey, you, you with the dog and the babies? Oh my gosh. You're adorable. You're so cute.

And I was like, what? She's like, yeah, you look really cute. You're adorable. And then she just drove away and it was a sweet old lady and it really made me feel nice ,thank you. Thank you for calling me adorable people love to tell me you have your hands full all the freaking time and. Just never say that to anybody.

, don't tell somebody that they have their hands full. , what the fuck does that mean? I do. I get it a lot and it always bothers me. It's always , some older person watching me, struggling to hold a baby and push a stroller and walk the dog at the same time and they're like, oh, you got your hands full.

I'm like, thank you. I just don't like when people say that. It bothers me. Anyways, this this episode is gonna be about chakras. Chakras. I'm gonna explain what our chakras are my baby is so cute. Ah, you're so sweet and so cute and I love you.

It's actually like kind of distracting to try to do anything while the girl leaves, or at least even if one of them is awake. But I don't always get a day where they both sleep at the same time because , they just don't sleep at the same time. Not always. Sometimes they do. I mean, like a lot of times they do.

Not today.

You're funny. Oh my goodness. That's what a cutie pie. I freaking love. I love you

I love you. Do you wanna be on the podcast?

Oh, nope.

Anyways, so let me explain what your chakras are. Ooh. Okay, Scarlet. Let me explain to you what your chakras are. Talking straight to my baby. So you are not just a physical. Body, although you can only see with your naked eye, you're the physical body. But we are also spiritual beings and there's more to us than we see, and we understand this .

Where does our energy come from? We have energy you eat so that you have energy or you rest so that you have energy. But what is energy? Well, energy is our chakras. Our chakras are our energy centers, and it's where the Ether spiritual place, which is everywhere, meets with the physical, which is not everywhere but we have a lot of chakras, actually. Thousands, some would say, depending on which path you're studying, because chakras also aren't. Solely an Indian yoga thing, even though most people kind of believe. Cuz I learned about chakra's first at my yoga teacher training, yoga leans on the vidic texts and the ancient Indian knowledge, but chakra's, as I've studied more and more about them through the years, can actually be found in almost every culture.

In a form and it's all a bit different, which is why there's conflicting information on shoppers. But I wouldn't actually say that any of it is conflicting. It's all just different, ways to perceive the same truth, which everything is in general. Your chakras actually are your energy and chakra means wheel. So chakra is a Sanskrit word. And Sanskrit is ancient Indian tradition. When you see chakras in other traditions, they don't go by the word chakra. It's a different word. You can see in the Jewish Cabala or the Celtic. Druids talked about three cauldrons. There are so many different. versions of this cause it's the same truth. It's like how in different cultures, there's different names for different body parts, physically.

We have all the different cultures discovered, physical body . They also all discovered spiritual body and our connection to Earth and God and. Your chakras are the key to your health, mental, physical, and spiritual because you can physically do all the things. and still not feel good or feel at ease and be living with this ease in a way, in any form.

And you could be doing all the therapies, taking all the medicines, and doing all the exercises, making all the changes except only doing those things on a physical level, like diet changes, exercise, all, all that physical stuff, and then still be living continuously with disease because, You have not gotten to the root at an energetic level because we are all energy.

We all vibrate at a frequency, and the frequency that we vibrate at is what we attract within our realities. So every event, every circumstance, every person, every object, every thing, every little detail within our lives is a vibrational frequency. And that's why the vibe. Compounds on itself.

So when you're having a really good day, you ever have a day where everything goes right, you wake up, you feel good, and then you're happy and you have a really good conversation and then somebody buys your coffee and then you win a prize and. You just have a really, really good day and it's just getting better and better and better.

Cuz you're in this high vibe and you're attracting more of the high vibe. And what can unfortunately be more relatable would be the inverse of that. When you're having a really bad day and it just gets worse and worse and worse and everything seems to be happening. you wake up and you trip and hurt your leg and then you, burn your breakfast and then somebody yells at you in the street.

They don't know. You get into a car accident, bad compounds on bad, just like good compounds on good, because everything is a vibrational frequency. So the frequency of those events, circumstances situations were the same and they were attracting each other. And you can control the frequency that you vibrate at by understanding how your chakras work and when you can control your vibrational frequency, you can create anything that.

Want anything you desire. Anything you can think of can be actualized because we are limitless beings and we can create and do and have and say, and be whatever we wanna do and say and have and be for sure. For sure, for sure. So your cha is. Are points in your body where certain vibrational frequencies live and.

your energy is ever flowing. The energy within you is always moving, and it's being circulated in you and out of you. You are energetically connected to earth because you're human, you're a being. We are all energetically connected to earth. At the center of the earth is, we're all living creatures are connected energetically.

The core of the earth sends energy up to us through our chakras and then out of our crown chakra, you're connected. To earth and all life on earth through your chakras, out of your being into earth, and then out of your being up the other way, you are connected to God, sores, the universe, goddess, whatever your higher power is. It's all the same.

We are all it, and it is like all of us and just different ways of perceiving the same energy. So I think it's all valid. Whatever you believe. and however you want to perceive Goddess Source, the universe, and we are all connected. So we ground down into Earth, we're all connected, everyone on earth, like every life form connected to the earth, we rise up and out through our chakras this way, like up.

and we are connected to source God and as is everyone else, connected both ways. So that is why we are all one. We are all the same energy. And whatever happens to any of us, happens to all of us. And I mean all life everywhere. We're all recycling the same energy. So the energy it flows in and out of you, I'm just kind of trying to explain it a bit. It's very hard to use words to explain something so ether because it's not physical, which is the plane that we're used to communicating in. It's something that is felt and experienced rather than taught.

So this is something that you can sit with the meditation and try to visualize and figure out how it works, cuz you can really feel into it, you can feel it and you can connect with it, and you can use it to come into alignment and to balance of vibrate at the frequencies of the things that you want.

So this is really for you. Learn about and then use to heal yourself from anything. Anything because even physical, mental diseases they all fall under a chakra and a chakra imbalance that you can see and then make changes in your life and. Add different practices and different ways to heal and you'll notice a difference.

It'll help you heal yourself from whatever that dise is. And I know because I have done this time and time again in my own life, healing from traumas, healing from horrible accidents, healing from physical diseases, healing from just like all the things.

 the way chakras work, they are continuously spitting, imagine balls of fire. at different points along your spine. There are seven of them stacked.

There's also thousands of other chakras that aren't your main ones that you'll mostly hear about and deal with and work with and work towards bringing into balance. But yes, exactly. Scarlet is very wise

, your shockers are constantly in motion. They're always moving and. The energy. Imagine it's water pouring into you from the universe, from God, from the top, and it's moving down, passing these gears, these wheels of spinning energy, and it's going in and out of them, going in and swishing around and then going to the next one.

Or you could even imagine like pools of water. So it's like going into the pool of water. This is how they explain it on Avatar. The last airbender, which I think is really helpful. You could look it up on YouTube. Someone made a clip of just this scene in one of the avatar episodes and ANGs teacher tells him how the. Little pools of water and energy flows like water. And if there's a block in any of the little pools of water, the energy can't flow. It can't flow in and out of that pool. It can't flow in and out of your shockers if there's a block. So what is a block that would be. A traumatic thing that happened to you, any unhealed traumas or unprocessed emotions,

Anytime you don't fully feel something, fully, process something or fully accept in. Acknowledge something that happened, something you felt, you keep it within you. Anything you're not healing from or processing is stuff in your chakra. And because there are seven different chakras based on the.

Thing that happened that caused this block, the thing that caused the emotion that you haven't processed or the traumatic event that you experienced. Depending on what it is, it'll be stored in one of these seven chakras, . And there are different things you can do to heal and. When the energy isn't flowing properly around your chakras, what can happen is one of the chakras could have not enough energy in it. or it could have too much energy in it.

So that's when it's out of balance. It's when it either has not enough of that energy or it has too much energy. For example, the root shopper deals with your basic needs, food, shelter, water, community, the homeostasis of your health, all your basic needs being met. You're fed,, you're hydrated. You have a safe place to live. You have a community. You have people who support you and care about you. All of this is root shocker stuff, and it's basic needs.

Bare minimum. This is your foundations that everyone needs to have. Set in order to actually thrive and start to move up towards the other chakras and the magic that's waiting for you there. So, Somebody who doesn't have enough energy in their root chakra might not be able to meet their own basic needs.

They may suffer from homelessness or they may just have a really hard time making ends meet in general, or, and they have a scarcity mindset. They always feel like there's not enough, maybe really anxious. If you don't have enough energy here, you might not have a community or feel safe where you live.

You might not have a stable home. You might not have enough food to eat or any degree of that. It could be very severe, . Or it could be even like you don't ever have the kind of food that you want to eat or you don't have. what your ideal basic needs would be. So that would be having a deficient amount of energy in your root chakra.

And then if you had an excess amount of energy in that chakra, you might be greedy and you might hoard things.
