7 in 1: Thanksgiving vibes

This Thanksgiving might be the opportunity to develop your Chakras!

Thanksgiving is a celebration focused on one word quite powerful, capable of bringing joy to the saddest people. It has to do with being thankful about everything what the year has brought to our lives: good things and even bad things, because good things have made us enjoy and bad things have made us learn. And because of that now we are better humans. Are you ready for Thanksgiving and the beautiful energy that this celebration makes you feel?

Perhaps that question lets you thinking, because not many times we are aware of our feelings. We are too busy with our responsabilities, and if we barely have time to think, we avoid it. We live so worry, with the rush of every day. For Thanksgiving, we have to be ready to feel the meaning of the celebration, to connect with the good vibes that thanking brings: it is an action that heals, makes us happy and brings us peace.

Today I’m going to show you 3 ancestral traditions that might help you to experience a Thanksgiving different from any other you have celebrated, it may restore your soul and your heart. Thanksgiving is a philosophy related to chakras, involved with dancing and music.

Everybody has an inner energy, our bodies are controlled by 7 chakras, and every single chakra is in charge of the energy of a specific part of your body. All those 7 must be balanced so that you can feel vital, cheerful and encouraged. If one of your chakras is failing there is a dance and a music style to fix it; but how do you know that something is wrong with one of your chakras? Simple! Whether you feel physical pain or you don’t feel right emotionally. If that’s your case Let’s dance! Because it is Thanksgiving! Because we are alive and because it is time to thank!

First chakra:

It is placed in the base of the coxis, in the lower part of your pelvis. It is linked with the energy that flows by your legs, coxis and sexual organs. So, dancing rhythms like hip hop or African fusion, will help you potentializing this chakra, bringing wellness to the lower zone of your body.

Second Chakra:

It is placed in your pelvic area, approximately 4 fingers bellow your belly button. It is related with your intestine, spleen, prostate, bladder, etc…It develops a strong connection within sexual energies, stimulating creation powers. If you want to balance those powers there is nothing better than belly dance, try to do movements like 3/4 shimmies, camel and reverse camel, undulations or hip lifts, these might help you relieving those areas.

Third Chakra:

You can find it between the belly button and the highest of your stomach. It is related with the digestive system, the liber, kidneys, and gallbladder.
