Inhale deeply until you cannot possibly sip one more breath of air. And then hold it. Feel the prana (life force) spread down your spine until it reaches the base. As you exhale, allow the breath to unleash your chakras' energies as it travels upward toward the crown of your head. Imagine this ball of energy is spinning itself round and round in the base of your spine as it glows a pretty red. You feel secure and safe and stable. You’re rooted deeply into this Earth that provides you with so much energy, you know you belong here. You have purpose. Safety. Awareness. You can feel this ball of energy manifesting itself into who you are and who you identify as. As the ball travels up your spine, it turns to orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. The ball now leaves your body as your last sip of air follows suit. The glow of energy now spins atop the crown of your head in a white glow. Here you feel the energy not just from your own breath but from the breaths of the Universe itself. You feel connected with yourself fully, but also with others. You’re grounded. You’re spiritual. You crave to understand the connection among us all here on Earth and also beyond. The breaths you inhale? The Universe inhales alongside you. As you exhale? So do those around you. You begin to see beyond your eyes here, as you reach toward the heavenly skies above you, providing you with such powerful energy, you can feel it in your head. Your thoughts. Your body. Your soul. Your heart. Your whole self. The journey of healing is a never-ending pursuit to attain utter bliss, peace and a sense of connected belonging. This is my story of how I overcame trauma rooted in my body--manifesting itself from emotional turmoil to that of illness. By utilizing the power of prana to heal myself via the chakra centers lining my spine, I learned to become at one with my body, mind and soul, unifying myself wholly and honestly. Everyone's healing looks differently, but we all breathe in
