How many people do you know who introduce themselves by talking about their struggles? 🤔 You only need to sit at a nail bar or coffee shop to hear people around you talking about all the things in their lives that are going wrong. Is this something you do too? Do you define yourself by your problems by saying things like “I’m an anxious person”, “I’m a people-pleaser“, “I’m terrible with money“, “I’ve always had shitty relationships“, “I’m just not…
The word “chakra” is a Sanskrit word meaning “wheel of light” – and each chakra brings energy into – and expels energy out of – our bodies. 🌀 Chakras aren’t just “open” or “closed.” They can also become underactive or overactive, depending on what you’ve experienced and how you’ve adapted to it.
