Dr. Anodea Judith – Supercharge Your Chakras

Module 1: Understanding Your Life Force & the Architecture of Your Soul

You’ll begin by gaining an understanding of your life force as “charge” and discovering how it behaves. You’ll then examine the basic structure of the chakra system and how charge and the chakras work together. This understanding provides the basis for developing the chakras more deeply in the modules that follow.

In this module, you’ll:

• Gain a whole new perspective by viewing yourself as an energy-based being
• Discover how to track your own energy or “charge” with simple techniques you can use anytime, anywhere
• Understand how to balance your energy, without becoming overcharged or undercharged, and why that balance is vitally necessary
• Study the basics of the chakra system as a model for optimum health and wellbeing
• Examine the basic energy currents of liberation and manifestation that enliven the chakras
• Come away with a simple diagnostic system for understanding chakra imbalance through excessive and deficient chakras
• Explore the importance of living in your CORE as Consciousness Organized in Relation to Energy
• Be given a simple technique for unlocking bound-up charge in any part of the body

Module 2: Chakra #1
Plugging Into the Ground & Drawing Energy Up From the Earth

The first chakra is where everything begins. Its element is earth, which represents everything solid in our lives. Matter is stored charge — we plug into matter to receive energy, much like the two prongs of a plug push into a wall socket to receive electricity. This chakra allows us to feel safe and secure, allowing us to create prosperity and maintain a healthy body.

The first chakra is activated through the legs and base of the spine. It provides the stability for our later work with your energy system and forms an essential foundation for your life.

In this module, you’ll:

• Recognize the importance of energetically grounding your body before attempting to uplevel your energy system
• Understand how to wake up your leg channels through a vital technique for grounding which you can practice anytime
• Establish the value of structure for building up charge in the body
• Discover how grounding combats fear and insecurity, transforming their charge into something the body can use effectively
• Examine how the body is a battery to be charged, and how weight issues are directly related to your ability to move charge through the body
• Develop the feminine and masculine aspects of grounding and understand how we all need to use both, regardless of our gender
• Transform the survival reactions of fight, flight, freeze or fold into solid grounding and harnessing of your life force

Module 3: Chakra #2
Moving Through Emotional Charge Into Pleasure

We’re all familiar with the charge of emotion. Fear can heighten our charge, unexpectedly leaving us in contraction; anger can hurl intense charge at another person, causing harm; sadness can leave us drowning in tears, disconnecting us from our power.

Emotion is movement of energy, which relates to the water element. Blocked emotions lead to blocked energy and rigidity in the body, which blocks our capacity for pleasure. Learning to manage these emotions is essential to moving energy through your body. You’ll discover how to do that without repressing them or being thrown off balance.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore what happens physiologically when emotions are blocked
• Discover how to release emotions safely, harvesting their energy without getting lost in a quagmire of feelings
• Be given vital second chakra exercises for enhancing your sexuality
• Examine the “happy hormones” and their relationship to the pleasure center of the brain
• Experience how to keep the energy flowing through the watery element of the second chakra
• Discover how the translation of the second, or Svadhisthana, chakra means “one’s own sweet place” and how to come from your own place in the core of your body
• Explore how to use polarity and differences as a way to enhance the movement of energy

Module 4: Chakra #3
Charging Up Your Power for Greater Effectiveness

The third chakra is where everything starts to cook with the energy of fire. Here we enter the crucible of transformation as fire transforms matter to heat, light and energy. Often called the power chakra, our power is directly related to the amount of energy we can generate, and also to our ability to manage that energy effectively.

Managing your power requires directing energy into your intention and through your will. Our programming around power has a lot to do with whether we do so with skill or waste our precious energy in blockages and distractions.

In this module, you’ll:

• Be given a simple 2-minute process to pick up your energy whenever you need it
• Discover the relationship between matter and movement to generate energy
• Harness your intention into a strong and effective will
• Explore how to balance your power so you can use it fully without intimidating others
• Identify the blocks of procrastination or victimhood that keep you from your full power
• Master potent bioenergetic exercises to activate your third chakra

Module 5: Chakra #4
Opening Your Heart to the Charge of Love

Love is perhaps the most potent charge there is, the one we all long for. Yet it’s also the most vulnerable, as the heart chakra is the center of the whole chakra system — the vital gateway to the core of the soul. Most people guard their heart carefully to avoid getting hurt, but doing so blocks the vital expansion of the heart’s full charge.

And we all know how patterns of charged reactivity can develop in relationships to seriously undermine love and intimacy. How do you keep your heart chakra’s energy for love fully open and charged while avoiding the triggers that activate your defenses?

In this module, you’ll:

• Examine the vital role played by the breath in bringing charge to the heart
• Be given a simple technique for coming into heart resonance with yourself and another
• Discover ways that couples exchange charge for better or worse and how to maximize intimacy and minimize alienation
• Master a powerful set of exercises for increasing charge in each chakra through the breath
• Explore how releasing charge allows the heart to soften, enabling it to let in more love
• Play with fun and enlivening partner poses to open the chest and increase connection

Module 6: Chakra #5
The Charge of Creativity & Self-expression

The fifth chakra, also known as the throat chakra, is your personal avenue to clear communication and creative self-expression. But this chakra, being the narrowest part of the body between crown and base, can be a bottleneck in which energy can get trapped, blocking both communication and creativity.

When we’re determined to speak our truth, the activation in the throat can be so intense that our communication carries too much charge — such as when we release long-held anger or tears. At other times, the throat closes down and we’re afraid to speak our truth, or may not even know what our truth is. The more you dissolve the blocks in this chakra, the more your creativity and communication will flow.

In this module, you’ll:

• Understand what do to do when your communication carries the charge of stored-up emotions and how to come into balance
• Be given simple exercises for releasing neck and jaw tension
• Practice exercises to open the shoulders and open the neck
• Explore writing exercises that can help you discharge your truth before it hurts another
• Find out how your charge can tell you when your truth is authentic and meaningful
• Use sounding techniques to soften the density in your body for better vibrational resonance

Module 7: Chakra #6
The Charge of Insight & Creating a Vision

Once the blocks in the lower chakras are cleared away, charge can flow upward toward higher consciousness. As it pierces the sixth chakra, also known as the third eye, energy is perceived as a luminous light within. Here we tune into insight, memory, imagination and the creation of a guiding vision to light your way.

Charge usually makes us want to move and take action, but what happens when we harness the power of stillness and allow that charge to illuminate the inner world?

In this module, you’ll:

• Use the power of visualization to guide your energy toward your desired goals
• Nourish your inner world with an exercise of drinking in light
• Control your gaze toward the positive for increased light in your life
• Use the powers of your imagination in the act of purposeful creation
• Enhance the power of beauty to bring you closer to the Divine
• Explore how the charge of what you see is based on your interpretation and how to neutralize the charge so you can see clearly and objectively

Module 8: Chakra #7
Returning Charge to Source & Opening to the Divine

Ultimately, charge is in everything. It’s in the heavens, the sun, the trees and the air, as well as within us.

Spiritual experience can be seen as an experience of full charge, freely flowing through the body without separation from all that is, connected with the Divine. Removing our blockages in the lower chakras paves the way, but opening to this full force of energy can be quite intense, even hard to tolerate if the ground is not properly prepared.

Meditation and yoga are practices for this preparation, but how do they work with the vital life energy we’ve been opening up throughout the course? Often people have trouble meditating because they have too much charge to sit still.

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience how a balanced level of charge can allow the experience of meditation to deepen into bliss
• Investigate how the Divine plays hide and seek with us to keep us peering into the mystery
• Discover techniques for quieting your mind while keeping your charge full to enhance spiritual experience
• Practice bringing the Divine down into your chakras to begin the flow of manifestation
• Open to guidance through surrendering to your own charge
• Connect all the chakras and discover the role of kundalini in the path of awakening
