Our body is always giving us signals, like the warning lights of the dash on a car. If we learn to be sensitive to listen to what our body is telling us, we can get clues about the thoughts and beliefs that go against what our spirit knows to be actually true. These signs show us our misalignments with the Truth.This episode gives the basic breakdown of the root chakra, a center of the body that's associated with our thoughts and beliefs about security, safety, family harmony, and support. We give you tools and details on how to listen to and nurture this center of the body.

Depending on what culture and background we all come from, we've developed a very specific understanding and vocabulary about our spirit. As we learn more holistically how to take care of our bodies and add more tools and resources to our mind/body health practices, it's fun to look at the way the spirit is nurtured in each of them. They are all rooted in balancing the mind and emotions, which initiates healing in the physical body and therefore allow the fullest expression of the spirit, our true essence.We also give you an essential oil protocol for opening up freer communication with yourself and your spiritual health, or in other words, calming our mind and body to a point that we are in a position to listen more easily.
