WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?

Each page of this book focuses on a chakra, starting from the base to the top of the head. The wisdom of the chakras comes from the glands and their functions, that they are associated with. It is from this understanding I have drawn the parallels shared in this book. Chakra energy is also similar to light waves and is depicted as such with their coloration. We start at the root because it is the foundation from which we can build upon. As we work on each chakra we reach the crown with a greater sense of balance and alignment, but our work is not done. Once we come to the crown chakra, we need to reinvest our new awareness back into our tribe to continue to grow and serve our community. For more in depth understanding of chakras and how they relate to our health I recommend taking a look at Anodea Judiths Chakra Balancing Kit.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

In this book, each chakra is defined as it relates to your business. Each brief description includes questions to help provoke thought and awareness of your businesss strengths and weaknesses. The goal is through this work you will gain insight and clarification on how to better support your business.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Commit to spending 5-10 minutes a day on each chakra for one week, starting with the root chakra. During this time, reflect on the questions posed while looking at the chakra images or with your eyes closed. Once finished, write down your thoughts and insights that come to you. To maximize the use of this information I recommend that you work with one chakra a week for 6 weeks. Write down your thoughts and pay attention to the people or information that comes to you in relation to the chakra that youre currently working with throughout the week. You can use the book as frequently as you like, or need, as you may find that each time you come back to it you have a deeper understanding and a new revivolution.

OUR CHAKRAS:

ROOT / TRIBE
Who is your tribe? What do your existing clients have in common? What is your tribe looking for?

ROOT
Muladhara GLAND: ADRENALS COLOR: RED TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: root support foundation, grounding, stability, right to be here

TRIBE
We start at the base to cultivate a foundation for optimal growth. A solid business needs a platform from which it can exist and grow. Your tribe is those individuals who are passionate about your products and services. A fundamental of being in business is to serve your community. By serving them your business will grow through their excitement and network of connections.

YOUR TRIBE TARGET MARKET WHO YOU SERvE

NOTES:

SACRAL / TEAM
Who makes up your team? What resources do you need? Who can you partner with?

SACRAL
Svadhisthana GLAND: GONADS COLOR: ORANGE TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: ones own place movement, flow, emotions, sexuality

TEAM
A successful business cannot run in isolation, it requires knowledge and perspectives often outside of us. When we work with a team and foster community each individuals strengths get leveraged. Through specialization, respect and appreciation for each others differences, businesses will run on more than the sum of their parts opening the door for endless opportunities.

YOUR TEAM NETWORK SUPPORT STRUCTURE

NOTES :

SOLAR PLEXUS / YOU

What is your relationship with your business? What do you avoid doing? How is most of your energy spent?

SOLAR PLEXUS
Manipura GLAND: PANCREAS COLOR: YELLOW TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: self-mastery Energy, will, power

YOU
Most of our time is spent either working in our business, working on our business, or thinking about our business. With this much-dedicated time its no longer just an activity but a relationship, one that you are intimately at the center of. A strong sustainable practice needs to be authentic so it can continue to support you long term.

YOUR SELf ROLES SELf-WORTH

NOTES:

HEART / PASSION
What is the personality of your business? What is your business known for? What are your core values?

HEART
Anahata GLAND: THYMUS COLOR: GREEN TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: passion love, relationship, compassion, balance

PASSION
Your business is not a job, you didnt start it because you were forced to, you started it because of an experience you had, a need you saw, or an opportunity that couldnt be passed up. This passion gave your business a soul. Recognizing this passion and how it defines your business will give it depth and an identity that will help sustain it through the changes.

YOUR PASSION dRIvE WHAT YOU LOvE

NOTES:

THROAT / MARKETING
What is the voice of your business? How are you sharing your message? What do you want people to know?

THROAT
visuddha GLAND: THYROID COLOR: BRIGHT BLUE TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: express yourself communication, creativity, self-expression, listening

MARKETING
To be recognized in business you must share what you do in a way that your market can understand and in turn share with their network. Marketing isnt just about producing ads and developing content; its about communicating to your community, reaching them where they are right now, and building relationships for further growth.

EXPRESSION COMMUNICATION MARKETING

NOTES:

3Rd EYE / vISION

What is the vision for the company? What do you focus on? How do you determine the right resources?

3Rd EYE
Ajna GLAND: PINEAL COLOR: DEEP INDIGO BLUE TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: seeing in the deepest sense intuition, dreams, insight, manifestation

vISION
When we immerse ourselves in our business and get caught up in the day-to-day tasks, we often lose sight of the bigger vision. To know what your business needs, and when it needs it, requires taking the time to listen to your intuition, to those on your team, your tribe, and your trusted advisors. When you create the space to reflect on your business you will be able to make healthier and more productive decisions that are in alignment with your business goals.

YOUR INTUITION INSIGHT UNdERSTANdING

NOTES:

CROWN / AWARENESS
How can you better lead your tribe and team? What are the strengths of your business? What challenges do you continue to experience?

CROWN
Sahasrara GLAND: PITUITARY COLOR: VIOLET TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION: pure awareness understanding, unity, intelligence

AWARENESS
An aligned business has integrated the elements from each chakra and adjusts to new scenarios gracefully. To have an aligned business requires dedicating time to working on it and being conscious of what you are creating. It assumes that you are leading the direction of your business and not the other way around. When you have reached the crown chakra the cycle continues by reinvesting your new awareness back into your team and tribe by finding new ways to serve.
