@omshamatha Hello Beautiful Yogis and welcome to Day 8 (our final day) of #SpringCleanYourChakras. Our sponsor is @ipwnyogadotcom.  On our final day we focus on the Aura. The aura consists of subtle bodies and are non-physical aspects of each human being surrounding and interpenetrating the body.  Like the chakra system, the subtle bodies have complex interaction and flow between them. Each one of the subtle bodies that exist around the physical body, has its own unique frequency. They are interrelated, and affect one another, as well as a person's feelings, emotions, thinking, behavior, and overall health.  The aura consists of 7 levels and each level of the aura can be thought of as the individual seen from a slightly different energy vibration. Much like listening to the different instruments play in an orchestra.  Within our home the aura is associated with porches, decks, landscaping and garages. Each of the aura colors represent a person's mood or physical health and reflect the condition of the chakras. I chose colors that were not associated with the 7 chakras and specifically bright silver, because it is the color of abundance, both spiritual and physical. Lots of bright silver can also reflect an awakening of the cosmic mind. Bright metallic silver means that you are intuitive and nurturing and shows that you are receptive to new ideas. White: is a pure state of light & often represents new, spiritual, etheric, non-physical qualities, transcendent, higher dimensions, purity & truth. Our suggested yoga exercise for balancing the aura is a Kundalini Kriya. Please see @Teesa1313 for detailed instructions. ❤It has been absolutely wonderful traveling the mini journey through the home, via the 7 chakras and I hope that you've found the journey as refreshing and eye opening as I have. Thank you so much for joining us! Wishing you an abundance of peace, joy and love. Namaste ❤❤❤ HOSTS: @om_gratitude @yulady @hotyogiana @irontheraphy11 @limitlessyogisoul @jessamendola @__gabrella__ @teesa1313 (at Yogi in the Light)

@omshamatha Hello Beautiful Yogis and welcome to Day 7 of #SpringCleanYourChakras our sponsor is @spiritualgangster. The 7th Chakra Sahasrara also known as the crown chakra is our focus for Day 7. The element associated with Sahasrara is thought and the color violet. It's physical location is just above the head. The crown chakra is the is the gateway by which our prana, or life-force enters our chakra systems. It is also the master chakra and relates to the master gland of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland and physiologically relates to the brain. Especially the higher brain, or the cerebral cortex. Our brain is an instrument of awareness, and it is virtually limitless. Sahasrara is the pervading consciousness that thinks, reasons and gives form and focus to our activities. The 7th chakra is also the link to expressions of reality that lie beyond the dimension of everyday existence. Within our home Sahasrara is connected to the Attic, Roof and Rain Gutters. When the crown chakra is cleared of stresses, a sense of lightness, clarity and belonging flows through the whole chakra system, much like roof, attic and rain gutters effect the entire home when they are free of debris and clutter or adversely effect the home when they are blocked or neglected. Our suggested yoga pose for the crown chakra is Salamba Sirsasana/Supported Headstand. Please see @__gabriella__ for detailed instructions. Be sure to check in with @teesa1313 tomorrow evening for Day 8, (our final day) for pose and instructions.

@omshamatha Hello Beautiful Yogis and welcome to Day 6 of #SpringCleanYourChakras our sponsor is @malacollective . Our chakra focus for day 6 is Ajna or The Third Eye Chakra. The element associated with this chakra is light and the color indigo. It's physical location is the brow between the two eyebrows, but it also governs the eyes, ears, nose, face, forehead and the base of the skull. Ajna is the command center for the subtle body. It manages not only our five senses, but also our conscious and subconscious mind. A healthy flow of energy at our ajna encourages balance in the lower chakras and helps them to open and works to counteract negative consequences of imbalance in the other chakras. Our everyday awareness is located in the area of the brow chakra, from where our higher sense functions. The brow chakra is all about seeing and not just seeing with the eyes, but seeing with the mind by making sense of and understanding what is being perceived. So it's quite fitting that in our home Ajna would influence the Den, Home Office and especially the Windows. When your ajna chakra is open and balanced, you witness the world without judgement and you perceive everything that is within the scope of the senses, as well as all that is beyond them. Much like viewing the outside world through the clean sparkling windows of your home. Our suggested yoga pose for the anja chakra is Vrksasana/Tree Pose with the Hakini Mudra (Third Eye Mudra) or a Mudra of your choice. (I chose Kalesvara Mudra.) Please see @jessamendola for detailed instructions. This has been the most wonderful mini journey and we are just thrilled to have you along. Please check in with @__gabriella__ tomorrow evening for Day 7 pose and instructions.

@omshamatha Welcome to Day 2 of #SpringCleanYourChakras. Our sponsor is @ninetimestwelve. Today we focus on the Sacral Chakra Swadhisthana. This is the 2nd chakra which is located in the lower abdomen beneath the navel, above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. The color associated with the chakra is orange and it's element is water, giving it the characteristics of flow, cleansing and movement. The sacral chakra is associated with sensuality, emotions, sensation, pleasure, movement and nurturance. So it's fitting that this charka would be associated with the Master Bedroom. The bedroom is your private sanctuary, it is the place you visit for rest, rejuvenation and love. If your master bedroom is cluttered, messy, or lacks attention and care, your personal life and love relationships can reflect this. The bedroom is a reflection of our inner self and our sacral chakra knows it's self very well here. It is within our sanctuary that we want to experience tranquility and peace. I personally have to work very hard to keep my bedroom clutter free, so I make it a point to de-clutter every season, especially during Spring. Our suggested pose for Swadhisthana is either Gomukhasana/Cow Face Pose (or) Cobblers Pose/Baddha Konasana please see @yulady for detailed instructions. Thank you so much for joining us on this mini-journey, we are honored to have you along and so looking forward to seeing your pics and reading your posts.  Be sure to check in tomorrow night with @hotyogiana for Day 3 pose and instructions.

@omshamatha Hello beautiful yogis welcome to Day 1 of #SpringCleanYourChakras. Today's sponsor is @affirmats. Muladhara the \"Root Chakra\" is the foundation, base or root and correlates nicely with the foundation of our home, ie; the basement and crawl spaces. A cluttered basement might indicate a blockage in this area, so keep this area in mind when \"Spring Cleaning.\" My yoga space is in my basement, which means it has received a little TLC, but my crawl spaces might need a bit more attention ;) For balancing the \"Root Chakra\" our suggested pose is Warrior III/Virabhadrasana III Begin in Warrior I (or) FROM TADASANA: 1) From Mountain Pose/Tadasana extend your arms out to the side. Take a medium step back with your leg and come onto the ball of one foot, keeping your hips squared forward. 2) Gently bend your right or left leg, INHALE and start to tilt your torso forward until your left/right leg lifts off the floor. Lengthen from the crown of your head to your heel, work to rotate the outer edge of the thigh downward, so both hips remain level with the floor and the sacrum fairly flat. 3) Straighten the right/left leg, pressing strongly into the big toe and spreading the sole of the foot wide across the floor. Flex your toes and your do your best to point all five toes towards the floor. 3) As you tilt forward, keep lengthening through your lower back and feel the strength of your abdominal muscles working to hold you up. Let the back of your neck be long and keep your face relaxed. Feel the strength and balanced beauty of this powerful pose. 4) You can also bring your hands to your hips, or onto blocks to support you. For strong or advanced yogis, extend your hands out in front of you. Remain here for 5 breaths and repeat on the other side. 5) EXHALE as you lower the raised leg to the floor.  Straighten the leg, lower the arms while stepping back into to Mountain Pose/Tadasana Please check in with @yulady tomorrow evening for pose & instructions.
