Questions? Comments? Send a message to Art of Healing PodcastFeeling scattered, anxious, or just a bit "off"? Your root chakra might be calling for attention. When life transitions throw us into chaos—whether it's moving homes, changing jobs, or navigating emotional upheaval—our energy often becomes ungrounded. This doesn't just affect our mental state; it directly impacts our physical well-being, particularly our adrenal glands, which continue pumping stress hormones when we can't find our center.Throughout this episode, I share nine powerful yet simple techniques to reconnect with your physical body and the earth beneath you. From the barefoot meditation that can transform your anxiety in minutes to the rooting visualization that helps you draw strength from below, these practices require no special equipment or prior experience. You'll discover how mindful walking differs from regular exercise, why placing hands on your belly can shift your entire nervous system, and how even standing in line at the DMV can become an opportunity for grounding through Mountain Pose.For healthcare professionals and anyone working with others' energy, these techniques offer more than self-care—they provide essential boundaries that allow you to show up with compassion without absorbing others' emotional states. I've condensed these practices into a downloadable guide that's helped countless clients find stability during turbulent times.Try one practice today and notice how quickly your body responds. Download the free "9 Ways to Ground Your Energy" guide through the link in the show notes, and share which technique resonates most with you!Welcome to the Art of Healing Podcast community.

This video was filmed at the Sunrise Circle Amphitheater near Bolder, Colorado in 2021. Hey, it's Cha Wilde, and we are on top of a mountain today! Let's soak in this beautiful connection between the earth beneath us and the sky above while we move through today's practice. Introduction and Grounding We're sitting here, feeling the stability of the mountain, grounding into the earth, and opening up to the heavens above. Let's start by sitting in a meditation seat, feeling our roots extending deep into the ground, finding that connection between stability and freedom. 00:00:52 - Exploring the Chakras We're going to journey through the chakras today, starting at the root and moving all the way up. As we move, embody the elements—feel the earth in your root, the water flowing in your sacral, the fire lighting up your solar plexus, and the air moving through your heart. Let the energy flow freely through each pose, each breath. 00:16:29 - Standing Poses and Balance Now, into standing poses: Mountain Pose, Tree Pose. Feel the strength in your core, the steadiness in your feet, but also allow for the playfulness of balance. Wobbling is okay! The balance isn't static—it's about constantly finding that center again. 00:24:25 - Floor Poses and Backbends We'll move into floor poses now—Downward Dog, Forward Folds, and backbends. As we stretch, strengthen, and open the body, keep connecting with your breath and engaging your core. Embrace the intensity, feel the fire in your practice, and let go where you need to. 00:28:55 - Relaxation and Closing We're wrapping up with Shavasana, lying still and taking in the sounds of nature around us. Feel the peace of being here, on top of this mountain. Reflect on how regular yoga leaves you feeling—loose, light, stretchy, present, and deeply relaxed. Stay here as long as you need, soaking in that mountain energy. Namaste! ------------------------ ✨ Welcome to Cha Wilde's YouTube channel dedicated to healing.

Discover the transformative power of Hatha Yoga's basic asanas. Hatha Yoga, a style of yoga that focuses on physical postures, offers various emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits. Start with the hatha yoga basic asanas like Mountain Pose, Downward Dog, and Child's Pose, which help build strength, flexibility, and balance. These poses promote improved blood circulation, relieve stress, and enhance overall well-being. Incorporate Hatha Yoga into your routine to experience increased energy levels, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of calmness. Embrace these simple yet powerful asanas and unlock the full potential of your yoga practice.

Your Root Chakra spirals at the base of your spine; it radiates out at a 45-degree angle down and out the front and back of your body. It is your foundation, holding the energetic components of your basic needs being met - things like food, shelter, and clothing. It also holds the energetic information of your sense of safety. These are the aspects that are recorded here - whether from various times in this lifetime or previous lives. The color within the light spectrum connected with the Root Chakra is RED. The note that resonates with it is low G. My favorite hand mudra associated with it for empowerment and focus is Prana Mudra, and the Yoga asana is Mountain Pose. You can wear, use, or hold Ruby or Red Garnet (two of my favorite gems) to work with the energy of the Root Chakra. In this segment, I mention common imbalances that can be associated with the Root Chakra. I also share a few case studies, and a ghost shows up as I am trying to record! Please be forewarned that trauma can be found stored in the Root Chakra. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or sexual abuse can compromise the health of this chakra. So, it's important to know where and when to seek healing help as needed. Therapies like EMDR, ART, Neurofeedback -just to name a few- may help process the pain of trauma. There are many books out on trauma work. Learning some self-regulation and mindfulness skills will be beneficial. Honoring your needs will help to restore and rebalance your Root Chakra. Hopefully my next segment: Root Chakra Guided Meditation will help you too! Stay tuned. Or better yet, subscribe so you don't miss anything. Thanks for Tuning In!

Dianne Willging, author of "Pathways to Peace: 20 Visualizations to Enhance Your Yoga Practice" teaches how visualization, allows you to use your mind to alter your reality. In yoga you can use visualization to enhance your mind body connection. My Yoga teacher used to say visualize you're cracking a walnut between your shoulder blades. Standing in Mountain Pose or tree pose, you can use visualization to imagine you're rooted down through your feet into the ground and bringing that energy back up through your legs and spreading it throughout your body.  This is how you use, visualization, to enhance your, yoga practice.

We will dive deep into Fascia here is an excellent resource Fascia and Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM) - Defining Fascia (anatomytrains.com) Mobility-Stability-Flexibility -The Triad- these are all equally important. You don't want to become imbalance, Yoga may be to focused on Flexibility while weight lifting maybe lacking. Weightlifters focus on strength, yoga student typical focus is on flexibility but where is the integration. Chakras and Archetypes for example Root chakra (base of spine) Mother is Functional pole and dysfunctional is Victim, Grounded, security, survival, Think physicals posture that strength the legs such as a squat, Mountain Pose.

This is a gentle yoga practice focused on tadasana, mountain pose. The intention of this simple sequence is to invite a sense of stability through an engagement of the whole body in mountain pose. Through the focus on the anatomy you are invited to be intentional in creating the physical posture of each pose. This is an energizing and relaxing practice, for any time of the day, suitable for all levels. A gentle short flow follows tadasana with a few half sun salutations, then on to your back for gentle twists, savasana and final meditation to complete your practice. Namaste

Colossians 3:2 "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Tadasana Pose helps with concentration, balance, respiratory and digestive system. I encourage you to focus on the on see. Looking ahead of what truly matters.

Are you looking for a pose to improve your posture? Do you need extra strength (inner and outer)? Have you been sitting for a long time and need a total body stretch? Try out this Mountain pose!

Hi, here's another short yoga practice. This is a standing practice I call, "Gentle Yoga for Healthy Joints". It has a video version for those of you who are more visual on my Yogi MD YouTube channel. The link is in the show notes. Before beginning, make sure you are wearing comfortable clothes, you have water nearby, and if you need extra support today, stand next to a sturdy chair without wheels or wall. Shoes are optional and remember, never do anything that causes pain.Pain is sharpness, numbness, burning or stabbing sensations. This is your practice and you decide what is right for your body.Let's begin in Mountain Pose first, standing. Stack your joints so that your ankles are underneath your knees, your knees are underneath your hips, your hips are underneath your shoulders. And if you take a line and draw it down the middle of your ear, it lines up with the center of your shoulder.Make sure your gaze is forward, your shoulders are relaxed away from your ears, and your neck is nice and long.Inhale, set your intention for your practice.Exhale to let it go.Let's focus on breathing for energy.Inhale, thinking about increasing your energy from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.Exhale, releasing tension from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.Imagine your inhale sending energy, oxygen to all of your muscles, all of your cells, and exhaling relaxation from the top of your head and out through your toes.And now either place your hands on your hips or you can interlace your hands behind your back.Begin gentle head circles, bringing your chin down towards your chest as you exhale and lifting your chin gently towards the ceiling as you inhale.Let's do 10 in this direction first.And be careful not to let your head fall back too far.and 5-4-3-2-1Change directions 10 times beginning now.5-4-3-2-1Now release your hands down by your sides a2nd let's begin simple shrugs. Inhale slide your shoulder blades up your back. Exhale glide your shoulder blades down your back2-3-4-5Do five more at your own pace.And let's change this motion by relaxing your shoulders, relaxing your arms. Nice, strong Mountain Pose. Don't lock your knees.And let's begin squeezing the shoulder blades towards one another on the exhale, being careful not to arch your back and on your inhale, releasing the squeeze. Perform a total of 10Slowly, mindfully, make the motion flow.Use your breath.And relax this movement.Lift your arms to shoulder height.Think strong arms from fingertip to shoulder to opposite shoulder to opposite fingertips.Begin waking up the muscles in your arms. Circle forward and make them as wide or as shallow as you like, 10 times. Don't hold your breath.And now go backwards.Slowly bring your arms down by your sides. Take a breath in and exhale.Lift your arms forward to shoulder height. Relax your shoulders away from your ears. And begin criss crossing your arms. Alternate which arm criss crosses over the other each time for a total of 10 times.As you open your arms, inhale, as you bring your arms forward, exhale.In 5-4-3-2-1, release your arms down by your sides.Turn your palms forward.Lift your arms up slightly. Exhale. Inhale, touch your shoulders. Exhale to lengthen your arms.Let's do this a total of 10 times.Halfway there.And release.This is a lovely exercise, simple shoulder touches when you're feeling tension.You can think about releasing tension through your fingertips when you release on the exhale.Now with your arms down by your sides, let's begin warming up the muscles around the wrists. Lengthen your fingers all the way through your fingertips, widen your fingers away from each other.On your inhale, curl your fingers in towards the sides of your body and up, keeping your arms long, and on your exhale, release the curl.Press your palms towards your floor, pointing your fingertips away from your body.10 times breathing and going slowly.Almost there.And release that motion.Now bring your arms up to shoulder height with your fingertips pointing straight ahead. This is a side to side motion with your hands only.On your inhale, turn your thumbs in towards one another. On your exhale, point your thumbs away from one another and your pinkies away from one another. Inhale, turning your hands in towards one another thumbs towards one another. Exhale, hands away from one another pinkies away from one another.Think about your hands on a flat surface sliding side to side.Keep your arms strong. Your shoulders, neck, jaw without tension.And that should be about 10. Release your arms down by your sides.Let's focus on our fingers.On your inhale, curl your fingers into a fist.And on your exhale, release the fist stretching your fingers all the way to your fingertips.Go back and forth, about 10 times at your own pace.Keep your shoulders, face, soft.This is yet another good exercise for when you're feeling tense. Inhaling tension and exhaling relaxation.And now release. Wiggle your fingers and let's move our focus to our spines. Keeping your spine healthy is very important. So let's do modified cat cow.Take a very slight and gentle bend in your knees sitting back. Feel your weight shifting into your heels and into the back of your body. Place your hands on your thighs above your knees.Only your back will move your arms and your legs will stay pretty stable, just like a table. Take an inhale, press your belly forward, lift your chest and gaze to the ceiling. On your Exhale, tuck your chin, round your back like a Halloween cat and tuck your tailbone, squeezing your navel to your spine. Inhale, flowing forward into Cow Pose, lifting your tailbone, pressing your belly forward, lifting your chest and gaze. Exhale, making the opposite C-shape, Cat.Keep going. Breathe.Make sure there's no tension in your shoulders.And that should be approximately 10.Stand nice and tall. Place your hands on your hips and step your feet out wider than shoulder width. You can make this stance as wide or as shallow as you need in this moment.Keeping your hands on your hips, let's begin slow flowing mindful pelvic circles. When you bring your pelvis forward, inhale, when you bring your pelvis back, exhale. Go around in the smooth circles, coordinating movement with breath about 10 times.And 5-4-3-2-1, reverse the circlesand 5-4-3-2-1Beautiful, bring this motion to stillness and notice how you feel in your lower back, hip area, inner and outer thighs.Step back into mountain pose with your feet stacked underneath you and let's work a little bit on balance. This is where you may wish to use the support of a chair or a wall if you need it in this moment.Make sure you can feel your weight equally on both feet.Focus on the contact your feet make in your shoes, or directly on the floor.There are five contact points under the foot under the ball mount of the big toe, under the ball mount of the little toe, inner heel, middle heel and outer heel. Distribute your weight equally on all five contact points of your right foot and your left foot. Become more aware of engaging your muscles to support your balance, from the bottom of your feet, up to your legs. Wrap the muscles in your thighs around the bones in your thighs. Point your tailbone down at the floor. Keep the front of your hips pointing forward. Lift the navel in towards the spine. Lift your pelvic floor muscles and engage your deep abdominal muscles by gently bringing your navel in towards your spine to support your back.Lift your upper body out of your pelvis by lengthening the front of your abdomen, the right and left side of your torso, and engaging your back muscles. Keep your shoulders relaxed away from your ears. Your shoulder blades are down away from your ears and slightly in towards one another. Engage the whole circumference of the muscles and your neck to support the weight of your head. Relax the muscles in your face.Don't forget to breathe and make sure that you are not locking your knees. They should be softened to just a touch.Now shift your weight over to your left leg. Pick up your right foot, bending your right knee, and begin imagining that there is a paintbrush attached to your right kneecap. Draw big circles out to the side, five times, keeping the rest of your body as still as you can, focusing this movement around sensations in your hip.Draw the biggest circles you can.And now reverse, drawing the circles inward.And release. Place your right foot on the floor. Make sure you're balanced on both feet again, notice breathe.And now shift your way over to your right leg. Let's pick up their left foot, left knee. Attach your imaginary paintbrush, paint big circles out to the side away from your body.Big slow circles.And now draw them inward and place your left foot on the floor back to Mountain Pose. Notice.Breathe.And now let's do leg swings. Shift your weight over to the left again. And this is a way to modify this. You can either choose to tap your foot forward and back in a swing motion. Or you can just swing the whole leg forward and back. Let's do 10 breathe evenly, smoothly. 5-4-3-2-1 and release your right foot, shift over to the right, pick up your left foot and either tap or swing. And know this, one side is not like the other, so you may need to modify on this side or not. It is okay.And 3-2-1 and release your foot.Stepping into Mountain Pose. Noticing. And now let's move on to lateral swings. Shift your weight over to your left leg and you can tap side to side across the front of your body across the front of your left leg with your right foot. Or you can simply swing your leg side to side. Let's begin.5-4-3-2-1 Release back to Mountain Pose. Inhale and exhale, shift your weight to your right leg and begin tapping or swinging with the left leg from your hip, 10 times, breathing.5-4-3-2-1 and pause, come back to Mountain Pose. Inhale and exhale.Bring your feet close together as close as you can. Take a slight bend in your knees sitting back weight in your heels. Place your hands right above your kneecaps and draw tiny, tiny circles with your knees in 10 tiny circles in one direction now.Change directions.And release.Step back to Mountain Pose.Now let's focus only on your toes. Keep making contact with your shoes or the floor with your five contact points underneath your foot. And inhale to lift and spread your toes only. Exhale to slowly bring them down10 timesIn 5-4-3-2-1 releasing. Keep your eyes focused on a point ahead of you far ahead either the wall across the room or the floor far ahead to help with your balance. Your vision is very important for your balance. And let's lift the heels away from the floor on your inhale. And exhale to descend with control slowly heels back down to floor 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 and 10.Step your feet out slightly wider than shoulder width apart.And let's roll our feet away from one another on your exhale and inhale to roll your feet in towards one another. So you're rolling on the bottoms of the feet out and in, breathing.Just a couple more.And stop. Bring your feet back underneath you nice tall Mountain Pose. Let's finish with a whole body stretch.Inhale to bring your arms up and out to the sides. And either placing your fingertips on your shoulders or interlacing your fingers over your head. Flip your palms over. If you have your fingers interlaced, press your arms long up to the ceiling keeping your arms next to the sides of your head.And now stretch over to the right, pressing your left hip slightly away from you.

She delivered a powerful message - “Don't judge a drummer or anybody by their looks.” By delivering that message, she has been an inspiration to many aspiring drummers.Dorothea also teaches online and she even taught a nearly 90 year old man.She encourages us not to deter ourselves from pursuing a passion.You can find Dorothea on YouTube and Instagram. Here is the Drumeo video for the cover mentioned in the interview.The Mindful MinuteWhenever you are doing an activity that requires sitting for long periods of time, don't forget to take breaks. Here's an easy one to let go of tension in your neck, shoulders, and wrists. Start by establishing long and even breaths in and out of your nose. Don't hold your breath at any time. Sitting up tall in Mountain Pose, tilt your head side to side. (PAUSE) Next, turn your head side to side like you are saying no. (PAUSE)And now tilt your head up and down as if you're saying yes. (PAUSE) Next, roll your shoulder forward five times. (PAUSE). Roll them backwards five times. (PAUSE) And now, interlace your fingers, roll your hands forward, one at a time, holding on to the interlace. (PAUSE)Release your fingers and  now stack the opposite thumb and fingers on top as you interlace your fingers again. This is going to feel uncomfortable because this is not the way you're used to interlacing your fingers. Roll your hands backward, one at a time. (PAUSE)
