Lent Challenge: Day 4

Release your Self from negative energy in order to remain centered at all times. Often times, we get distracted by outside forces and allow the energy that does not benefit us to harm the goodness of our souls. It’s time to be more strict with yourself. Make it known to yourself and the universe that your existence is worth more than any burden.

Be free. Have a beautiful day.

Good morning! Here’s Lent Challenge, Day 3: We will determine if our root chakra is under-/over-active or balanced. Depending on your current relationship with your soul, you may identify more with one side. Take advantage of room for improvement. If you feel secure in your relationship with your soul, the world, and have no doubts, you have achieved a balanced root chakra. Today’s goal, despite the balance/imbalance, is to seek how you’ve gotten to this point. Be honest. Ask yourself: “What brought me here?”

Have a beautiful day.

Lent Challenge: Day 2

“I am” represents the soul. In order to raise self-awareness, we must learn to separate from the ego. When we put more effort towards mind-made ideas of self-image (our ego), we prevent our energy from flowing in a more positive direction. Today’s goal is to gain consciousness, to find security in who we are, to create a stable relationship with our soul, and to not be ashamed.

Accepting what the soul has to offer to the universe & coming into the essence of our being is our focus. Have a beautiful day!

For the following eight days, we will focus on Muladhara, our root chakra. The root chakra is the first chakra and is located at the base of the spine. It represents the root of our being and is connected to the energy of our ancestors. The root chakra is the center of every connection you have with your body, your environment, and the Earth. Because it is the most instinctual chakra, it serves as the survival center of the body (hence “fight or flight”). It is very common to experience imbalances. In order to balance this chakra, we must allow our souls to be present in every situation and be connected to the physical body. We must focus on our basic and emotional needs. And in return, the universe will give us good energy; We will allow ourselves to let positivity flow upward which balances the following six chakras. These eight days will target embracing change and finding stability/security for ourselves in order to begin the process of our personal growth.

Make sure your letters to yourselves are done by tomorrow!

Lent Challenge: Day 1

Write a letter to yourself. It’s time to be honest about everything that’s resting on your soul. Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses. Praise yourself and get real about times when you could’ve done better. Where do you want to be? When you’re honest with yourself, you release unnecessary emotional tension. It’s time to start the process of being free.

This letter will allow yourself to unapologetically be you. This letter is an awakening. Be your biggest critic. Be your biggest fan. Get everything off of your chest. Don’t hold back!

Going into this year’s Lent Challenges, I realized that I wanted all of us to focus on one thing: our well-being. The way I want us to exercise the improvement of our well-being is through an Ayurvedic healing tradition, the seven chakras. The seven chakras are seven energy wheels that balance us on every level: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. For the past THREE years, I’ve incorporated this practice into my daily life in order to reach my best self; The change in my peace has been incredible. So, with that being said, my goal is for each of us to start our journey with the root (Chakra 1) and reach complete understanding and consciousness (Chakra 7). This will help you achieve a closer, healthier, and more stable relationship with God and yourself. Allow yourself to be sensitive to energy, to have an open mind, and to embrace your heart and soul. I'm ready! I hope you all are, too.
