Shine On and Off the Mat - Chakra Chat with Veronique Ory

We all have moment where we feel overwhelmed. There are any number of situations, responsibilities, others emotions, carrying so much that will tip us over into overwhelm. There is a particular physical sensation that accompanies overwhelm and in this episode I wanted to give you several ways to cope with overwhelm. Firstly, we need to not resist it! Recognising that we are in that state, knowing that it won't last forever, and that we have tools to help us is extremely helpful. So, in this episode I suggest some simple somatic practices and then lead you into a gentle meditation to allow the feelings of overwhelm leave the body.

This is the word I hear the MOST often with my clients - "I feel kinda stuck". I cannot pretend that one meditation will get you unstuck but this is a start! We need to find out where within the body you are feeling stuck, what is it that is holding you back from taking that next step... And this meditation is the beginning of that journey. Within my CHAKRA method we employ a progression through finding the source of feeling stuck and move towards feeling purposeful, free and taking action that is aligned.

I adore this time of year - as nature comes back to life, the birds start singing earlier each morning and the light returns (sorry to my Southern Hemisphere listeners!), and leaning into the potential of growth, expansion and taking a literal and spiritual breath of fresh air feels so welcome! A soft, light energy abounds that we can use to lift ourselves out of the winter layers and begin to emerge...Much loveRosanne xxFind out about the retreat at Old Course Hotel hereSupport this podcast hereConnect with me here

This is designed to sooth your nervous system when you wake at 3am (or thereabouts) with a racing mind, a jangling nervous system and a sense of despair at having woken up when you desperately want to be asleep. We all have those nights and the worry about simply being awake can be disruptive in itself. In this long meditation we find several simple ways to sooth your mind, body and spirit so that you can rest, fall back to sleep and self-soothe.Sleep tight!Much loveRosanne xxIf you want to support this podcast you can do so here.If you want to find out more about what I offer, please click here.

SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE!Over many years of working with the chakra system, and especially through exploring the minor chakras, I began to notice something important: real transformation tends to follow a process.Insight alone isn’t always enough to change our lives.In this episode I explore why we can't seem to shift those unhelpful patterns, how to move from feeling stuck, lost, exhausted, and wanting more from life to move into self-awareness and genuine, lasting alignment. We are exploring The CHAKRA Method, a structured pathway that embodies this process. We explore the six stages:Clarity – Home – Awareness – Kindness – Reframe – AlignmentTogether these stages help us understand our patterns, shift old beliefs, and begin living in a way that truly reflects who we are.If this episode resonates with you, please consider booking a discovery call or simply dive right in to the work with a Chakra Reading.For more information about the work please visit my website chakra-way.com

Our Conscious Mind is quick, it can take on new ideas in a flash. However, the subconscious mind likes to take its time... It needs to know, and trust, that it is safe to operate differently, or in a new way. When we are doing the "Inner Work" (which you are doing if you are here!), we often become impatient with ourselves, not shedding patterns fast enough, and feeling that our conscious knowing is not being matched by the subconscious reactions that we are still experiencing. And so we need to address this - with patience and kindness. Trust that the shifts are happening. This is the goal of this meditation. There is no rush, you cannot make your subconscious move any faster than it is prepared to move! Just love it and tend to it and train it gently.Much loveRosanne xhttps://chakra-way.com/To support this podcast please click here! Thank you!

This week’s meditation explores the gut–brain axis, the profound and ongoing conversation between your digestive system and your nervous system. So many of us experience gut discomfort, tension or irregularity without realising how closely it is linked to stress, safety and emotional processing. The belly is not only responsible for digesting food, it also responds to our thoughts, our experiences and our sense of inner security. When we learn to soften the breath, lengthen the exhale and restore a feeling of calm in the body, we directly support this communication pathway and create the conditions for both emotional and physical balance. This practice is an invitation to listen more closely to the intelligence of your body, to recognise the gut as a messenger rather than a problem, and to cultivate the kind of internal safety that allows true healing to unfold.Much loveRosanne xxTo support this podcast please click hereTo find resources at my website please click here
