Ignite your fire - practice for third chakra

Thank you Christine!

Thank you so much Patricia, I am so happy that you connect to the practice. <3

Hi Michael, I have seemed have missed your comment. And I sorry to reply so late. I hope this set has worked in strengthening this enegry center for you. Let me know how you got on. ❤️

Ah yes, I understand Will. See if you can create space in that moment. Allow whatever happens to happen by simply trying to remember to relax the body and the breath. When we resist what happens we create tension and we can get very lost in the 'struggle'. <3 Marlene

Thanks Marlene, that's really helpful. I have 'backed off' trying to resolve while still being aware, that's been helpful. At the same time I've been exploring with meditations. Being at peace with not knowing while also acknowledging seems to resonate for me - thanks for the reminder. It seems when I let go, that is often when insights seem to emerge, though I often forget that when things feel intense.

Hi Will, thank you for sharing your experience. I would say experiment with this practice. Do it a couple of days in a row. See how you feel. If it is too intense, do a grounding practice and then do it 1 or 2 times per week say. See how that goes. There is no golden formula. But it's good to keep going, keep working on it. Important is to find the frequency that suits you and your body and energy system. On the inquiry, our desire to know sometimes makes us restless. Make peace with maybe never finding out. :) And then if you relax during these sets, you may gain some insights into the how and why. I really believe that sometimes our blocks/stagnation/tension is not always from this lifetime and in my own experience it does not always help you to have the info. Ask yourself in meditation is there anything else I need to know/learn from this? Also vibrate within that it is now safe to let go. This is a huge statement that can really help you. Let me know how you get on! Namaste! Marlene

Hi Will, Great to hear that my suggestions resonates with you. Do you mean that the insights fade because of intense feelings, or is it that the feelings are so intense you forget that you had good insight? <3 Marlene

Yes :) doing this class on a regular basis will help you achieve more balance. See how it goes if you have done it a couple of times. Or if you want to work on it more intensively, you can repeat the class 2/3 times per week for a period until you feel it has done its job. Love, Marlene

Thank you Esther <3

Good to hear that you feel more strength now Gesine! That's what's the class is all about. We are working on the next chakra's so throat is definitely coming up! <3 Marlene

Thank you for your answer Marlene; Yes I guess I did end up doing it with dog breath since I could not synch the breath of fire... I will repeat, more slowly, until it works ;-) and I will check out your video on breathing technique, I have not seen it yet. Thank you ;-) Love

Hi Jocelyne! Thank you for your kind words. Yes the breathing is like breath of fire, and I know it is a challenge coordinating with the arm swings. But please don't feel you have to breath as fast as me. Take you time, and maybe check out my video on breathing techniques once again, and maybe try to do it with dog breath a couple of times, before going to breath of fire again. And remember, it's more important to have control, than to go fast. ❤️ Marlene

Dear Magdalena, I deeply thank you. That is great to hear! We are working on classes for every chakra, so throat will be coming up soon. To really find great effect of the set, I would advise you to do it 3 -7 (depending on how intense you experience it) times a week for a period of a month or two. Sending love! Marlene

Yeah! Great to hear Anita! <3

Amazing right, how easy and quickly you can shift your energy? <3

Yeah! See how quickly it goes? Sending a lot of love!

Hi Natalie, I am happy to hear that you are receiving the benefits of the class. Let me know how you are getting on. <3

<3

If you prefer you can just swing your arms from left to right Amanda. But I would actually encourage you to keep trying. My coordination used to be also really off. But by keep doing these things it does improve a great deal. Let me know how it goes :) X

Yeah! <3

Yes, powerful stuff :) Kundalini and Tantra practices sometimes resemble each other. Happy you enjoyed it! <3

Thank you Francesca! <3

Hi Eva, so nice to hear you are connecting to the practice. It seems that this a class for you to do a little more often :) To your questions, I am not sure why you feel natural to place right over left, both options are possible. Maybe your masculine side is dominant. Sometimes in life we develop certain skills / a certain side more out of necessity, and then under develop the other side. But being left handed good also be a reason. But I would invite you to do the mudra left over right and pay attention what it does for you. To your other question, if you know you are in tune with and sensitive to your body, then my first suggestion would be to go with what you need today or what you feel you need to work on most. Balance can only be created in imbalance through asymmetry. So to answer your question, I use my own practice very intuitively, according to the needs of my body and energies. Sometimes I need more energy coming in, sometimes I need more energy going out. Sometimes, when I am very busy, I need to calm the fires. Other times, I need more fire. Both create more energy. But knowing yourself, your body will give you an idea of what you need to do to create that happy balance. Let me know how you get on. <3

Thank you Angie! <3

Thank you Maddie for your warm words. I am happy that my intentions for making yoga easy access for everyone is being manifest. Sending all my love, Marlene

<3

Good to hear you are doing the series. Love to hear how you are getting on as you go through them. <3

You are so welcome! <3

<3

Yay! Like magic, right? Sending much love to you! <3

Just returned to it Marlene. Some things have got easier- like breath of fire with the arm swings. I am avoiding the lying down legs raised breath of fire still as I am having a lot of lower back pain. And I still can't find my pulse- despite the fact I am definitely alive! I think this is an area of my body that I avoid- so still more work needed!

<3 How are you getting on Charlotte? Still doing this practice?
