Hi everyone and welcome to this week's episode where we're going to be talking about the lower
chakras and how highly sensitive people can benefit from healing their lower
chakras if this is the first time that you are watching one of my videos my name is Tertia
and I help highly sensitive people and empaths find their place in the world on my channel
here you'll find videos about spirituality and self-growth and it is my intention to provide you
with tools and techniques that you can you know use yourself to support you to step into your
fullest potential we are so much more than our physical bodies we also have energetic bodies and
just as our physical bodies can become sick due to stress or anxiety or a passive lifestyle or not
eating the right types of food our energy body also becomes unwell and imbalanced
by some of the things that we experience in life so the video today is again part one of
a two-part series because I think it is going to be easier to digest if we divide it into two parts
so in the video today I'm going to be talking about the three lower chakras and I'll start
off by giving a overall or overview rather of the chakra system just so that anyone who is not yet
familiar with the chakras and the human energy system so that you can just get a little bit more
insight into what it really is so the chakras are energy centers and you can think of them
as centers in your body that organizes the energy so the reception of energy how we receive energy
and also how we transmit energy and how they do this is throughout our body we have got energy
pathways or nadis and where these energy pathways intersect with each other you find a chakra now
I'm only going to be focusing on the main seven so we really are looking at the main seven
chakras that find themselves on the human body at the bottom of the spine you have your root chakra
a little bit higher underneath your navel you have your sacral chakra the third chakra is your
solar plexus chakra which is located on your solar plexus then the fourth chakra is your heart chakra
chakra number five is known as your throat chakra and it's located on your throat
and then we have the third eye chakra which is located between your brows and then we have
the crown chakra which is located on the top of your head highly sensitive people can especially
benefit from working with their chakras because we are already by nature of our trait we are already
sensitive to the energies and the subtleties in our environment so as a highly sensitive person
it is going to be a good tool for you to have in your toolbox of taking good care of yourself and
your overall well-being if you can add knowledge and understanding of how to work with your chakras
to you know what you already practiced to keep yourself to take good care of yourself as a highly
sensitive person now typically generally speaking when your chakras are unbalanced these energy
wheels that we have when they are unbalanced or blocked it means that the energy doesn't flow
through the body and through the energy pathways in the best way all right and what we want to
do is find new habits new ways of thinking that's going to allow the chakras to become
more balanced and more aligned affirmations are one of the tools that you can use to help balance
your chakras and clear out some of the limiting beliefs that might be stuck in there and I've
created a video a while ago where I share some affirmations for each of the seven chakras I'll
link to that video up here and I'll also put a link to it in the description below so go and take
a look at that video after you've watched this one if you are interested to start using affirmations
for balancing and healing your chakras our chakras don't only relate to our emotional
state but there are also physical illnesses that can show up as a result of our chakras being
out of balance and here I'm thinking about digestive issues heart problems diabetes
sugar problems so problems with your feet problems with your teeth all of these symptoms can be
traced back to an energetic imbalance in the body as well so not only are we beginning to heal our
emotional and our spiritual body when we work with the chakras but also our physical body and some
of the physical symptoms that we have we all you know whether we identify as being highly sensitive
or not we all are made up of energy we all have these energetic pathways we all have chakras so
anyone will benefit from balancing and working with their energy centers alright so starting
off with the first chakra which is located at the base of your spine this is the root chakra
now the root chakra is connected to the element of earth and this chakra has everything to do
with physical and earthly matters so this is our chakra center that is really focused on
matters of survival our safety and our security and for highly sensitive people because we are
by nature of our trait overstimulated quite easily because we really aware of all of the things
in our environment so we can get overwhelmed and overstimulated as a result of this this can then
show up as feelings of unsafety and not feeling secure which is directly related to the root
chakra our root chakra is also where we ground into the earth it's our chakra for grounding
and highly sensitive people tend to spend a lot of time in their heads because we
overthink things so we spend a lot of energy up here and that can make us feel ungrounded
because we are really not moving and lodging into our body and I've made videos about this as well
which I will link for you in the description below where I was talking about self-care and the highly
sensitive person and how important it is for us to make grounding part of our self-care ritual
so that we can really connect into our bodies to reduce our overthinking other things
relating to our root chakra is our financial stability our career our sense of belonging
and really so all of the things in the material world so as highly sensitive people we feel so
different to everyone else we feel you know people are so different to the way that we think and that
we feel and as a result we end up feeling that we don't fit in anyway that we don't belong
anywhere specific which leads again to feeling uncertain about ourselves unsafe insecure
so if you feel if you recognize that you might be blocked or imbalanced in your root chakra the
things that you can do to bring some more balance in there is first of all to practice grounding
techniques which I've spoken about already and then really anything to do with the body
with the earth so things like stomping your feet really connecting into the earth things like
movement and exercise and walking really anything that is going to connect you
into your body connect you to the earth is going to bring more balance
the next chakra that I want to talk about is the sacral chakra so that's chakra number two
counting from the bottom up and this chakra is located just below your navel and it is our
center for creativity for joy and for playfulness when this chakra is imbalanced typically you're
going to find very rigid thinking patterns you're going to be stuck in you know repeating the same
routines very inflexible in the things that you do and the biggest sign that
this chakra is out of balance is that you struggle to play you struggle to relax you struggle to take
down time taking this back now to highly sensitive people we usually struggle with self-trust
and trust of others and trust of the self is another big characteristic of the sacral chakra
now we struggle with self-trust because we look at the people around us we see that the majority of
the people 80 percent of the people in the world do things in a certain way they respond in a
certain way and they feel things in a certain way we look at ourselves and we see that we don't do
it like everyone else does and the conclusion that we come to is that there must be something wrong
with us there must be something wrong with us that we feel too much or that we respond to intensely
and this causes us then to distrust ourselves what we then begin to do is we can become very strict
with ourselves and very rigid and inflexible in our way of being because we're trying to
be like everyone else so we're very strict in what we allow ourselves to feel or experience
and as we are already one of our traits as highly sensitive the trait is that we want to do good
we want to do things right the first time if this becomes overactive if we don't manage this
need of us to do things in a certain way that can lead to perfectionism and an unwillingness to take
risks we don't want to risk risk ourselves and try new things another thing which is quite important
for you to know as a sensitive person or an empath is that our sacral chakra feels the emotions of
other people what happens is we are then not able to tell our feelings from someone else's so
a good activity to do is to learn how to create strong energy boundaries we want to strengthen
our energetic boundaries so that we don't take on the feelings of other people some other activities
that you can do that's going to help bring this sacral chakra into balance if you find if you
you know based on what I've told you think that you have an imbalance there or something that
that you need to work with is to learn how to play this is our chakra center for joyful and creative
expression so learn how to play which is also such an important part of self-care learn to be more
flexible and to give yourself a break don't be so strict with yourself these are all new habits
that you want to start that you want to start learning the habit of letting go of releasing
of not holding on to feelings and grudges and the past all right so not only do we want to ground
into the present moment through the root chakra but we also want to start releasing those feelings
and thoughts from the past that don't serve us anymore through the sacral chakra and then the
third chakra that we will talk about in today's video is the solar plexus chakra which is located
on your solar plexus this chakra is the seat of your personal power so this
governs your personal power your sense of self your self-worth your confidence and your right to
you know be here and take action and do things you might have often heard that
you shouldn't be so sensitive or you know don't cry so much or don't be so overreactive and these
messages especially as children growing up when you continue to hear these messages that you
shouldn't be like this what happens is we begin to develop shame about who we are and shame is one of
the things that brings the solar plexus chakra out of balance it's poison for the solar plexus
it's not nice for anyone to experience criticism or to feel criticized get criticized but for
us as highly sensitives we feel that so much more we really take criticism to heart and again
because then we see it as a reflection of who we are as a person that can also help to shut down
our our solar plexus chakra now the way to begin to heal our solar plexus I think the biggest thing
that I can share with you it's two things really but the biggest thing is to give yourself
permission to be you so that means learn to accept all parts of yourself even those sensitive parts
because that is what makes you you that is the uniqueness of you that is your personal power
your sensitivity is your superpower so begin to or or rather give yourself permission to be who
you are and then you take action the solar plexus does very well because it is a powerhouse because
it is the center from which action happens the way that we strengthen our solar plexus plexus
is by taking action now I'd like to hear from you in the comments below let me know which chakra
are you going to work with first which of your lower three chakras are you going to work with
first our chakras really represent our entire life so if you in your physical life find that you are
struggling with you know changing limiting beliefs or you have habits and patterns and
self-sabotaging behaviors that you are struggling to change you might find it super beneficial to
go and work with the energy body as well to go and clear and balance your chakras in order to support
you on the physical world as well now if you are looking for a meditation that will help clear some
of the lower or some of the energies and blockages that you have in your three lower chakras I did a
self-care affirmations meditation which I'll link for you up here and down in the description below
and in this meditation we do the self-care affirmations and we also work energetically
on the three lower chakras so go and take a look at that meditation and this is then all that I
have for you this week next week we're doing part two where I'm going to focus on the four
chakras the four higher chakras so your heart your throat the third eye and the crown chakra
and in that video we're really going to look at some of the activities that we can do to bring
these chakras back into balance as well because for highly sensitives or empaths typically you'll
find that these chakras are more over overactive and our lower chakras are more under active and we
really want to bring the entire energy system into balance so make sure that you watch out
for that video next week that's all I have for you today then thank you very much for watching
