Understanding Your III Core Energies, from Debbie Rosas.

After reading through my essays, Your Core I, II, and III, I invite you to spend time learning about the correlating chakra energy centers for the pelvis, chest, and head. I suggest you focus on each of these core areas and spend time moving your body with each area, while observing how they enhance your pelvic movement with the embodied harmony of wisdom rooted in each; physical and ethereal or stillness and motion.

The root chakra is the energy center of the physical form, which binds us to the Earth’s magnetic pull. It is the cavern where ancient instincts dwell, where survival, grounding, and belonging are written into the very bones of the human body. When it is open and strong the body feels unshakable, like an ancient tree with roots that drink from the depths of the Earth. It draws upon the sacred wisdom of the universe for:

• Survival Instinct: A primal force that keeps us in anchored and grounded existence.
• Grounding Energy: A deep, stabilizing connection through the body to the Earth’s core.
• Vitality: A reservoir of energy stamina, resilience, and life force flow.

The sacral chakra is the energy center of the wellspring of desire, the temple of pleasure, the current of creativity that moves through all things. Here, the dance of life begins—the fluid exchange between the self and the other, the tides of emotion, the inspiration that flows like sacred nectar through the veins of the body. When in balance, the whole being embraces joy, expression, and the delicious sensation of aliveness for:

• Emotional Fluidity: A deep personal and authentic self-expression with self-connection.
• Creative Expression: A birthplace of artistic inspiration and personal passion.
• Pleasure and Enjoyment: A vessel for the celebration of your life’s sensual gifts.

The solar plexus chakra is the energy center of the seat of personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. It governs the will and determination, shaping the individual and unique personal identity and the assertion of the sense of self in the world. Understanding this chakra energy center helps the whole being to harness inner strength, value, and confidence, affecting how the whole being perceives itself and abilities for:

• Self Assertion: A balance to express ourselves confidently and authentically.
• Goal Setting: A support to set and achieve goals, accomplishment, and purpose.
• Empowerment: A personal empowerment to embrace the whole being.

The heart chakra is the energy center of love, compassion, and emotional healing. It bridges the physical and spiritual selves, fostering connections with others and the world. Understanding this chakra deepens our capacity for love and empathy. This chakra encourages self-acceptance and compassion, nurturing a positive relationship with the whole being, promoting empathy and understanding for:

• Healthy Relationships: A balance in relationships, enhancing connections with others.
• Emotional Balance: A balance for navigation of feelings of joy and sorrow, with grace.
• Spiritual Growth: A pursuit of a higher purpose through love and compassion.

The third eye chakra is the center of intuition, insight, and perception. It enhances mental clarity, focus, awareness, and understanding. It governs an ability to see beyond physical realms, enhancing intuitive abilities and mental clarity. Understanding this chakra deepens a connection to inner wisdom and guidance in making decisions and life choices, while it encourages imaginative thinking and creative visualization for:

• Self-Awareness: A balance helping to understand thoughts and feelings.
• Spiritual Insight: A balance for spiritual insight, consciousness, and wisdom.
• Holistic Understanding: A support for holistic understanding of mind, body, and spirit.

The crown chakra is the center of spiritual connection, enlightenment, and universal consciousness. It links us to the divine and the greater universe, enhancing our spiritual awareness and understanding. Understanding this chakra fosters a sense of oneness with all.
It governs our connection to spirituality and our understanding of the universe to promote a sense of unity, fostering compassion and understanding for:

• Spiritual Growth: A balance for spiritual growth and exploration of life’s mysteries.
• Connection to All: A sense of connection to all living things, compassion and empathy.
• Inner Peace: An inner peace and acceptance to navigate life’s challenges with grace.

One of a series, I’ll be adding more essays about the energies of the body, soon. When we make time to learn more about the wisdom of the energies of the body, we gift ourselves with information that leads to greater health and awareness that we value for our body and our life. Reading, thinking, and exploring for our whole being does not require packing a bag for going to a new location. The location is where we are, now!
