There is something deeply powerful unfolding within me lately… and I feel called to share it with you.
Through my recent practice of intensive pranayama, I’ve been working with the opening of Uddiyana Bandha — the energetic lock of the Manipura chakra. During one practice, I felt a strong pressure… and then a release. The energy moved upward and dissolved into something lighter, something more spacious.
This opening is important. It allows prana — our life force — to rise, clearing the nadis and moving through emotional blockages that may be held deep within the body.
And yet… what I’ve come to realize is this:
Just because something opens, doesn’t mean everything is immediately released.
Instead, I’ve become more aware.
In my day-to-day life, especially through experiences at work, I’ve noticed feelings of embarrassment, shame, and guilt arising. Emotions I believed I had already worked through… returning, but this time on a deeper level.
This is the work.
As prana rises from the Manipura, it begins to burn through the impurities of our emotional body. What has been stored must come to the surface to be seen, felt, and released. This upward movement brings us into deeper discernment — into the knowing of the third eye — where wisdom begins to unfold.
It is here we begin to witness.
I may feel these emotions… but I am also the observer.
I am the knower of the divine within me.
These experiences are not who I am — they are part of what is moving through me.
And in this space, something beautiful happens…
We begin to embrace both the physical and the spiritual aspects of ourselves.
We come into wholeness.
We remember — we are both.
This is why this upcoming Embodiment Connection Circle, Part 1: Emotions, feels so important.
It is a space where we come together to soften, to share, and to understand that our emotions are not something to fix or push away — they are part of our human experience.
When we allow them, witness them, and move with them… we create space for true transformation.
Let us come together.
Let us be seen.
Let us flow as one.
