Daily Reflection
This week we will be discussing 5 of the Chakras and the goal of each Chakra. Each chakra has a message for our learning.
Today's reflection will be centered on the Saturn or first chakra. Traditionally, this chakra is associated with our community or our tribe. Here, we might reflect on our associations and the groups we belong to as well as our relationship to our families. We might also think about where we live, what culture we come from and what traditions we practice. This chakra is also associated with your emotional and mental health.
In your journal today, reflect on and write about the communities you are a part of. Make a list and write about why you belong to those communities. Why are they important and what role do they play in your life? What traditions do you practice from your culture and in your family? What traditions are important to you and why? How is your emotional and mental health? Do you feel stable and grounded?
One asana to practice to help balance this chakra is cobra pose. Try to work this pose into your practice today.

Day 3 - The Mars or Solar Plexus Chakra
Daily Reflection
This week we will be discussing 5 of the Chakras and the goal of each Chakra. Each chakra has a message for our learning.
Today's reflection will be centered on the Mars or Solar Plexus Chakra. Traditionally, this chakra invites us to think about our relationship to our personal power. Here, we are asked to reflect on how we understand ourselves and how we relate to ourselves. We can reflect on whether or not we feel we have personal power or have lost our sense of personal power. This chakra is all about our self-esteem and self-confidence. It is here that we can think about what we want to manifest or create and how confident we feel about doing so.
In your journal today reflect on and write about your relationship to your own sense of personal power. Are you self-confident? Do you feel worthy? How is your self-esteem? How well do you understand yourself? Is there something you have always wanted to do but are afraid to? How might you go about gaining confidence and pursuing this goal?
One good asana to practice to help balance this chakra is boat pose. You may want to work this into your asana practice today.
