109: Healing Your Body and Spirit with Tai Chi and Qi Gong - An Interview with Rubia Smolens

This week I interview Rubia Smolens, a Qi Gong and Tai Chi instructor with an amazing story! She explains a little about what these ancient practices are, where they took her and where they might take us, as well as how to begin incorporating these healing modalities into our lives. If you practice yoga, you might have heard of the concept of prana - life force. Qi Gong is a breath practice that has a similar foundation, adding gentle movement connected to breath. Tai Chi takes the movement further into a more physical practice, but both are healing to the body and mind. Rubia tells us how to get started and is offering you free access to her online course, Qi Gong for Grounding!

108: Trust Your Gut - Getting in Touch with Your Solar Plexus Chakra

1 Recommendations

Have you ever just "had a feeling" about something or someone? Just known something in your gut - more primal than intuition? That's the work of your Solar Plexus Chakra. This third energy center is in a highly unique position to collect information from your physical body *and* your energetic body to to create the gut instinct, a reliable guide about our surroundings. IF the Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced, of course. Today we talk about why this energy center is so valuable in this way, how it might be unbalanced, and three ways to bring it back into balance to help develop rock solid instincts.

110: Fill Your Heart Chakra with Self-Love

1 Recommendations

We're filling our Heart Chakras this week - with ourselves. Self-love may be the struggle I hear about most, and frequently we look to the Root Chakra, but today we'll explore the the heart's role in giving and receiving love internally. So many of us have a gaping hole where our true selves should be. We'll talk about why that is, how culturally that can be the expectation, and what we can do to start reframing our thoughts around our own worth. Let's start to find the seed of our highest self and nuture it to grow and blossom!
