Natalie Southgate – Chakradance™ 2024

The base chakra calls you to reconnect to the forgotten wisdom of your body and reclaim your deep inner instincts.

We’re part of the animal species, yet in our efforts to become civilized, we have lost many of the amazing gifts that are natural to us.

Obviously, it would not be desirable to completely revert to wild animal status — but you can relearn to draw on your animal instincts to help guide you and keep you safe in life.

Have you ever felt a ripple of fear travel up your spine? It’s your instincts giving you a clear message that there’s some form of danger nearby. When you’re disconnected from your body and your instincts, you might not recognize the threat.

In Shamanic cultures, it’s believed that we all have power or spirit animals. Each animal carries its own wisdom and power, and when you’re attuned to these animals, it’s as though you can take on your unique powers. A dolphin, for example, may be guiding you to play more, find the positive in things, or do things that help you feel joyful. An encounter with a deer may be guiding you to bring more gentleness and grace into your life.

Dancing the base chakra is a powerful way to connect with these spirit animals and receive the instinctual guidance they have for us.

In this opening module, you’ll:

• Be led on a guided meditation journey to the primal drum beat to connect with your spirit animal
• Dance with the energy of your spirit animal and deepen your connection with your own primal, instinctual energy
• Reconnect with the forgotten wisdom of your body through spontaneous movement, and hear the messages your body has for you
• Deepen your connection with Mother Earth by emphasizing movements of your legs and feet to feel truly grounded, present, and supported in your life
• Embed the energy of true safety into your being by embodying the primal rhythms of Mother Earth, so you’re ready to take on any challenges that come your way
• Engage in an intuitive mandala art practice to channel the energy of your spirit animal into your life

Your sacral chakra allows you to embody the wisdom of the sacred feminine, your inner empress.

The sacred feminine is an energy that everyone has within them and must embrace to be truly in touch with their feelings, sensuality, and passion.

The feminine can be soft and delicate, but she can also be untamed, dark, and fierce. You embrace the sacred feminine when you follow your inner voice over the voices of others.

When you take off your mask, you begin to truly live. You belly laugh, follow your dreams with wild abandon, and fiercely protect those you love — with aliveness pulsing through your body.

Dancing the sacral chakra is like a doorway that leads directly to this wisdom. When you surrender to the sensual, tantalizing, passionate music, you meet all the embodiments of the sacred feminine within you. You dance your softness, darkness, wildness, and grace.

In this module, you’ll:

• Open with a guided meditation with sensual, flowing music to meet your inner feminine empress energy
• Heal any feminine or sexual wounding by opening to fluid movements of your hips and belly — so you can shift from pain, trauma, and disconnection to feel more open and receptive to life
• Let go of being a martyr so you can step into your lush, vibrant, sensual, and creative Empress energy — and invite that energy dance into all areas of your life
• Heighten your sense of pleasure and passion by finding sensual movements of your body guided by tantric-inspired music
• Deepen your connection with the moon energy and dance the deep mysteries of the feminine into your body and life
• Create an intuitive mandala art to sensual music to more fully birth the wild feminine into your life

The solar plexus chakra is where you meet your sacred masculine, your inner warrior.

This vital energy is your inner strength, courage, self-esteem, and personal power. Allowing the sacred masculine to dance in your life can be transformative. You learn to be driven without burning yourself out. You learn to have authority without being controlling. You can stand up for yourself without ever having to be aggressive.

The inner masculine connects you to your personal power. Over the years, Natalie has led thousands of people, predominantly women, in dancing the solar plexus. Many have ended up in tears as they realize they’d been giving away their power.

When you dance the solar plexus, you reclaim your inner sense of empowerment, and you embody your warrior energy. You learn to speak directly and truthfully, with kindness. You stand up for what you believe in, without putting anyone else down.

You fearlessly walk away from disrespect but wish no harm in return. You have self-worth, and you value others. You have firm boundaries, but you’re open to spontaneity. This is the powerful energy you reclaim as we dance the solar plexus.

In this module, you’ll:

• Open with a guided meditation set to fiery, powerful music to meet your inner warrior and reclaim your authentic self
• Activate your inner masculine energy with strong, purposeful martial-arts-inspired movements to feel confident, disciplined, committed, and highly respected
• Reclaim your core self-worth and value by moving and shaking like a dancing fire — burning away all that is holding you back in life so you can emerge feeling empowered, congruent, and in alignment
• Release feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt through the energy of a burning ceremonial fire to move forwards in your life with courage and purpose
• Learn how to set sacred boundaries through movement and visualization so you can protect your internal sacred space
• Create intuitive mandala artwork to masculine rhythms and beats to anchor your warrior energy into your daily life

The heart chakra is one of the most beautiful chakras to engage with, as well as one of the most painful.

Nothing quite beats the feeling of being in love — with a partner, a child, the sunrise, with life itself. You might find it easy to be joyful, kind, and generous — with others and with yourself.

However, if something happens to hurt our hearts — partners leave us, parents die, or friends betray us — it’s as though we plummet to the depths. This is a natural human response when we experience pain in our hearts. In many ways, the heart holds both the rose and the thorn, and we will experience both in our lives.

Our heart chakra stays balanced if we allow ourselves to express the natural rhythms of the heart. This means that there will be times in our lives when we suffer. Although we don’t need to hold onto the pain forever, it is a natural and healthy response to sometimes feel sadness in our lives.

To truly find freedom in our lives, we need to gently begin to release the pain we’ve been holding on to so we can return to love. We can do this by dancing the heart chakra.

In this module, you’ll:

• Open with a guided meditation to the heartbeat of the sacred drums to meet your angelic guide for a sacred moving healing ritual
• Release your heart wounds using your breath and an expansive dance of the heart, so you can open to pure joy and a deepened sense of intimacy in your relationships
• Open to a heightened sense of compassion and kindness (for others and yourself) through a soft and gentle dance to lilting flutes that sound like the whispers of angels
• Expand into higher states of unconditional love as you hand over the heaviness in your heart in your dance, elevating yourself to an expanded sense of freedom
• Find forgiveness and bring healing to your relationships, so you can either let them go or heal them into something greater than they were before
• Create an intuitive mandala art to express the love, beauty, and compassion within you

The throat chakra is our source of communication and the gateway to our creative expression.

When balanced, we can express ourselves freely, authentically, and creatively. We can live according to our truth. It’s as though we sing the song of our soul out into the world — through our voice, movements, words, gestures, color, and art. Even in the way we dress, cook, and problem-solve.

Sadly, for so many of us, our life experiences can cause us to shut down our authentic expression. We learn to hide who we truly are. We wear different masks when we interact with others to shield ourselves from the world or to feel loved or safe.

As we become increasingly disconnected from our true selves, we lose touch with our innate creative expression and our inner source of spontaneity.

Dancing the throat chakra will help you re-discover your authentic truth and expression. It will help you gently remove the masks you are wearing so you can shine your true creative light out into the world.

You’ll learn how you can become the creatrix of your own dance and life, by aligning your frequency, thoughts, feelings, actions, and visions with the vibration of the life you desire.

In this module, you’ll:

• Open with a guided meditation set to ethereal music to meet your inner wild creatrix — the innate source of your truth
• Be guided into a mystical realm where you dance to the harmonic tones of the crystal bowls and ancient bells and discover your own inner ancient soul song
• Become moving sound as you weave together voice and movement and express the song of your soul out to the world
• Be guided into a moving ritual with the blue flame of purification — releasing experiences, memories, and feelings that have caused you to hide your true self
• Surrender to the harmonic music of the throat chakra and dance from the inside out, finding movements and sounds that express your inner truths
• Create an intuitive mandala art that vibrates your creative, authentic self

The third eye chakra is the home of our intuition, also known as our sixth sense. Our intuition is like our own early-warning system, showing us where we are off track or off purpose, guiding us to where we need to be, and showing us what we need to do.

Our intuition is a higher sense of perception. It gives us the ability to know something, even when we have no rational explanation for knowing it. It’s like a source of wisdom we receive in a flash. The more we ignore the flashes, the less we notice them. We become disconnected from the powerful gift of our intuition.

As we balance our third eye chakra, it’s like we turn a light switch on in our lives, allowing us to see in new ways. We learn to balance our logical mind with our intuitive mind, so our lives become guided by both.

We have all of the answers inside of ourselves, but we are also able to connect to spiritual beings who can help guide us in our lives. Our guides are here to support us on our journey and help us activate our own intuition and soul-knowing.

In this module, you’ll:

• Open with a guided meditation with hypnotic music of a high vibrational frequency to connect with the wisdom of your spirit guide
• Dance to repetitive, trance-dance beats to expand your intuitive and psychic abilities, and open to the guiding sign-posts in your life
• Lift into higher realms through dance, to connect with your Spirit guide and deepen your support on your spiritual journey
• Raise your vibration and transcend your ordinary reality to see life from a higher perspective
• Dance into higher dimensions, transcending time and space — and receive wisdom, divine guidance, and a deepened sense of clarity in your life
• Imagine your desired reality into existence by dancing your future into life and manifesting your dreams
• Find repetitive body movements and shift from your rational, logical, and deductive left brain to the more intuitive, imaginative — and visionary aspects of the right brain, and supercharge your intuitive abilities
• Create an intuitive mandala art and receive spiritual guidance through your art

Essentially we are spiritual beings, made manifest in physical form. We are not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences; rather, we are spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences.
— Deepak Chopra

Your journey through this course began by reconnecting with the wisdom of your body at the base chakra. Now, you’ll move into the crown chakra, experiencing the wisdom of your soul.

Balancing the crown chakra helps you reconnect with your spiritual self, your soul, the essence of who you are.

From here, you can ask yourself the question: Who am I? Beyond my body, my job, my relationships, my home, my goals, who am I?

Many of us have lost connection with our soul. It’s not something we often talk about or even consciously understand or recognize. We may just feel disconnected. Or there may be a vague sense of emptiness or meaninglessness in our lives. We may have become overly connected to our physical existence and lost connection with our spiritual essence.

At the crown chakra, it’s your soul’s turn to dance. As you dance the crown, you’ll align yourself with the wise, ancient, and deeply knowledgeable eternal essence of who you are.

In this module, you’ll:

• Open with a guided meditation with celestial music to meet your higher self/soul and embody the sacredness of self
• Surrender your struggles through movement, and open to the light of grace, knowing you are deeply supported in your soul walk here on Earth
• Move like a dancing prayer and open yourself to deeper spiritual wisdom and the portal to the higher realms to receive Divine guidance and messages from your soul
• Completely surrender to the Divine within you as you feel your soul like a warm nectar moving through your body — your soul is leading the dance.
• Surrender into a deep moving meditation and fully align with your soul path, so you can live a sacred life
• Create an intuitive mandala art and create an an expression of your soul

This 3-part training is the perfect way to activate and tune up your boundaries, clear your energy, and powerfully direct your energy to create the life you desire. This video course includes tools to clear your energy, establish boundaries, and stay protected from any unwanted energy. You’ll find techniques for directing your energy to support your goals — because your energy flows where your attention goes. You’ll also receive support for compassion fatigue, which can otherwise leave you drained and unable to serve your highest potential.
