This meditation talks about the location of every chakra in the body, the organs that it is connected to, the element it is related to, the colour of the chakra, what happens when the chakra is balanced or imbalanced, the AFFIRMATION for every chakra and the Beej MANTRA for every chakra (we will chant this together).

"We are not what happened to us, we are who we choose to become".  An affirmation that changed my whole perspective towards life and this podcast episode is all about that.  Sometimes we settle into what is called as the victim mentality, where we give the reins of our life to everything outside of us & we lose the limitlessness of our being by giving up our power.  In this episode we understand what is victim mentality, how it is an acquired personality trait, how it hinders our growth & how we can over come it (encouraging you to take help).

The famous words of Epictetus. In this episode we talk about how we keep pushing away the things we must do now to become the best version of ourselves.
