Manipura, the solar plexus chakra lives between your navel and the base of your sternum. This is where your “gut knowings”, the intuition that comes from your belly originates and is rarely wrong. Drawing the energy of the sunlight into your solar plexus chakra charges up your energy levels, your will power and your drive.
The solar plexus chakra is the seat of personal power and will. When activated, our whole system becomes fully energized, which in turn fires up our power, drive and sense of purpose.
Fire is the element associated with this chakra and just like fire it burns and generates energy, so our solar plexus fires our metabolism. With an over-charged solar plexus, we can fill life with constant activity, which often results in extreme workaholism, obsessive fitness regimes, or the driving pursuit of impossible goals. Defiant energy in this chakra is reflected in someone who gives away power and control, and therefore becomes submissive to others.
Through fast dynamic movement the solar plexus gets charged up and ignites fire in our belly with energy and strength.
When this chakra is balanced we move through life with genuine confidence and self-esteem.

The sacred feminine is an energy that we all, whether female or male, have within us. We need to embrace it, if we are to be truly in touch with our feelings, our sensuality and our passion. The energy of the sacral chakra is connected to our emotions and sexuality. The essence of this chakra is revealed in the sweet exchange of intimacy and connectedness with another.
By dancing slow fluid movements of the hips, lower belly and pelvis, the sacral energy, just like water, finds its own level. By allowing pleasure into our bodies, we can more easily open to desire, intimacy and connectedness. When the natural state of a healthy, open sacral is blocked, we can become numb to our emotional fluidity, often our physical body contracts.
In Chakradance, as the body softens and movements unfold, we can experience the freedom to open to the flow of all our emotions, the joyful as well as the painful. As we become more attuned to our inner feelings, passion, desire and pleasure can become a part of everyday life, integrated in a natural balance.

Our intention is to reconnect to our primal self and reclaim our deep inner instincts. Vibrating to the color red, the base chakra is the key to our survival issues – finding a job, having enough money, a safe home to live in – and being able to ground ourselves.
By using the lower vibrations found in earthy, tribal-like music we can explore our own personal sense of these issues and strengthen our innate instinctual energy. At the core of this chakra is the basic instinct to survive.
When the base chakra is deficient in energy, our strategy for survival is to dissociate from our physical body and live predominantly in a fantasy world.
By increasing the flow of energy through the base chakra our survival instincts are strengthened. Having harmony in our base chakra will strengthen our ability to deal with reality and be more present in life.
