Emotional Balancing Program
2025-01-29 08:00 - 2025-02-26 08:30 (America/Denver)
Emotional balance is the foundation of a peaceful and joyful life. Knowing we are safe to feel our emotions, and also to bring them back to equilibrium is a huge step to bringing ourselves into, and staying rooted in, our spiritual coherence.
For these 28 days, we’ll embark on a transformative program to work with the energy channels in our body. We will use Jin Shin Do acupressure on our Meridians to open the channels of emotion that may be stuck or over-energized. Using the power of sound vibration, we’ll harmonize the two extremes within us, bringing clarity, peace, and alignment. Each session will conclude with a short meditation to fully integrate the balance we’ve created, allowing us to carry that harmony into our daily lives. Join us in this journey to find your inner equilibrium and unlock your emotional freedom.

Day 4: Doubt and Faith
2025-02-01 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/uwrKZHEsnpM?feature=share
On day 4 we will be working with doubt and faith. When we have doubt in our true self and divine qualities, we can quickly fall from our path. Using the power of faith is the remedy for even the deepest doubts.

Day 5: Memories and Present State
2025-02-02 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/Lj_z9frMZOs?feature=share
On the final day of the 3rd Eye Chakra, we will be working with Memories and Present State. Have you ever been innocently going along your day and an intrusive thought smacks you alongside the head? These memories can cause our emotions to swing, pulling us out of our present consciousness. We balance these memories with present state awareness; recognizing that the past, present and future are One, and we go through our process as it is, with the illumination of present state understanding.
We will focus on the Meridians specific to memory, releasing any trapped energy.

Day 6: Attachment and Freedom
2025-02-03 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/Q_ANzL3lenk?feature=share
Chakra: Root
Meridians: Kidney, Liver, Pericardium
Emotions: Attachment and Freedom.
Today we are transitioning to the Root Chakra. In Sanskrit it is called Muladhara. The glands are the adrenal glands (fight or flight).
Here is where our base instincts reside, and subsequently many of our limitations. Fear rules the disharmonious emotions which are correlated with this energy center, and attachment to our bodily needs can cause us to take too much and hold on to what we don’t need. These propensities weigh us down, cause excess weight, disrupt our ability to expel, and clog up the remaining system.
Contrary to popular belief, attachments are not intrinsically bad. The attachments that mammals develop are a large reason why they are successful. We need a mother to be attached to her child so that she feeds them and care for their development. The success of a herd is proportionate to their ability to rely on, trust and work together as a team in most cases. In a more human and spiritual context, we need to be attached to our body so that we stay incarnated here.
An attachment can become a hinderance when it is driven by fear, trauma, control, or confusion. We balance these unhealthy attachments with Freedom. The remembrance that we have free will to choose, and that if we choose wrong, we can always choose again. This is the release of being bound, and the freedom to choose our attachments from a place of love, freedom, healthy commitment and acceptance.

Day 7: Lust and Abundance
2025-02-04 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/qywyokIZObA?feature=share
Chakra: Root
Meridians: Kidney, Liver, Pericardium
Emotions: Lust and Abundance
One’s desire to conquer others for resources (wealth, land, sex, energy, food) is a sign of an imbalanced root chakra. The instability being experienced is expressed in the disharmonious taking from others.
There is a story in Sanskrit about the battlefield of consciousness. In that story, the first two thought forms to enslave humanity were called Too Much and Too Little. This persistent experience that there is too much of something and not enough of something else has driven humans to unspeakable actions.
We will be working with the kidney, liver and pericardium meridians for this chakra; releasing these stuck emotions and allowing the flow of energy to stabilize and enliven us.
Today’s words are Lust and Abundance.
Lust is the insatiable drive to consume. The feeling of never enough. We balance this with Abundance, the experience of the attainment already existing within us, therefore attracting it to us.

Day 8: Grossness and Purity
2025-02-05 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/-nHF_4w6e04?feature=share
Chakra: Root
Meridians: Kidney, Liver, Pancreas
Emotions: Grossness and Purity.
Grossness is the lack of self-respect and self-care for our body. It is the allowance of internal infestations and build up, which expresses outwardly through our inaction to keep our body surface and environment clean.
Purity is the dissolution of the entrapment of inadequacy or inferiority; the sticky energy that accumulates and slows us down. The endearing, innocent energy of a child playing in the mud is undeniable. Their purity cannot be tarnished, and a simple rinse is enough to bring them back to cleanliness. In this same way, we balance grossness with the halo of purity.

Day 9: Haughtiness and Humility
2025-02-06 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/MMOLOoSNFIs?feature=share
Chakra: Root
Meridians: Kidney, Liver, Pericardium
Emotions: Haughtiness and Humility
The brother of inferiority is superiority. Two sides of the same coin. We hide our inferiority by acting superior, and diminish our greatness by acting inferior when we are scared to be responsible.
Haughtiness is a way of intimidating and dominating others so that we don’t have to take responsibility for our impact and influence on another person.
We balance this with Humility, the acknowledgement that we are all in the perfect place of our process. There is no better, worse, or should/shouldn’t. It is the taking responsibility of Self, and our impact on another.

Day 10: Greed and Generosity
2025-02-07 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/vaMGbgHttMw?feature=share
Chakra: Sacral
Meridians: Spleen
Emotions: Greed and Generosity
Transitioning to the sacral chakra, located in the genitals. The glands are the testis and ovaries. This is our creation center; both physically and artistically.
Greed is an imbalance in the give/take mechanism that is literally encoded into our genes. For evolution to thrive, it is necessary to have balance in the exchange of energy, goods, etc. If a system is designed with a set of organisms who consistently give and receive, there is harmony. It takes only one greedy outlier who endlessly takes, to be the downfall of the system. Don’t be that organism. 😊
Greed is the worrying that if you don’t take, someone else will. The obsession that drives us to take more than we need, just in case.
We balance our greedy tendencies with Generosity. This is not the energy of the over-giver, but rather the one who comes from a place of sharing with a balanced give/take attitude. Without worry of loss, this comes from endless Source energy, knowing that as one gives, so shall they receive.

Day 11: Hunger and Fullness
2025-02-08 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/VA4HTnSj34c?feature=share
Chakra: Sacral
Meridians: Spleen
Emotions: Hunger and Fullness
The feeling of lack can manifest actions in different ways. We can use sexuality to fulfill an emotional need of closeness, or we can unconsciously eat food in an attempt to fill the void we are experiencing. These are expressions of hunger, even though it is not food or sex that we need to feel satisfied. If consumed to avoid the feelings like discomfort, boredom, and sensitivity, it can perpetuate the feeling of hunger.
We balance this with Fullness; the understanding that we are whole, complete and perfect. We trust that our body has the intelligence to accept what it needs, and release what it does not need. We can share in experiences with other as a mutual and reciprocal action, coming from a place of being full.

Day 12: Scattered and Patience
2025-02-09 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/jDPbVmyG_dE?feature=share
Chakra: Sacral
Meridians: Spleen
Emotions: Scattered and Patience
Feelings of worry and anxiety can cause our mind to be scattered in many directions. The emotions we carry from past experiences can be stored in this chakra and pull our mind out of our control. Like an alligator latching onto and pulling its prey into the swamp.
We balance these emotions with patience. Knowing that everything happens in its own time. Nature is efficient, and the right way will show in the right time.

Day 13: Temptation and Harmony
2025-02-10 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/BiyNeTQzaLY?feature=share
Chakra: Sacral
Meridians: Spleen
Emotions: Temptation and Harmony
When we are on our path of creating our life, temptation can pull us in a different direction than we originally intended. This can be food, distractions, material indulgences, and sexual pleasure. This whiplash of desires can cause an inner conflict that can push us to extreme restraint or falling from our path. These extremes can be painful and cause blockages in our energy flow.
We balance temptation with Harmony. The inner alignment with our values and beliefs can help us feel centered and clear about acknowledging our desires without being controlled by them. When we address desires while being in harmony with our goals, we can practice moderation, mindfulness and fulfillment in a way that aligns with our wellbeing.

Day 14: Shame and Appreciation
2025-02-11 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/MauvhYGMRAE?feature=share
Chakra: Sacral
Meridians: Spleen
Emotions: Shame and Appreciation
Shame in the context of the sacral chakra is a feeling of disappointment, embarrassment, and regret in regards to a failed creation, or an unmet expectation for the creation. This failure can be self-inflicted, or caused by an external force. Even at times, the creation can be taken advantage of, causing a distortion in the expression. This is a complicated emotion which can disrupt future creations, and if not addressed can fester and crystalize into disease. Creations can be relationships, projects, children, art, etc.
We balance Shame with Appreciation. If we can observe the events from a higher vantage point and offer appreciation for the process and learning, we can begin to transform dung into fertilizer. What we created may not have been what we expected or what is our ideal, but we can appreciate the experience as it could help us understand ourselves and other people better, we learned, and we can connect with others through the vulnerability of our process.

Full Snow Moon in Leo: Frosty Roars and Fiery Feels
2025-02-12
The Snow Moon in Leo lights up the sky, blending the bold, creative energy of Leo with the reflective power of the full moon. This is a time to embrace self-expression, step into your personal power, and let your inner light shine. Leo’s influence encourages confidence and authenticity, making it the perfect moment to celebrate your individuality and share your gifts with others.
The Snow Moon’s connection to winter’s stillness reminds us to balance this fiery energy with moments of introspection. Use this time to release self-doubt, reconnect with your passions, and courageously align with your heart’s desires.
Leo’s energy may heighten pride or the need for recognition. Focus on authentic self-expression instead of external validation. The full moon can amplify emotions, and Leo’s fire may intensify frustration or vulnerability. Stay grounded to maintain balance.

Day 15: Anger and Self Control
2025-02-12 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/1a2oPo26kPQ?feature=share
Chakra: Solar Plexus
Meridians: Liver
Emotions: Anger and Self Control
We are transitioning to the Solar Plexus chakra, where our sense of Self and identity resides. This energy center governs the pancreas.
The emotion of Anger is the precursor to losing consciousness in a situation. The Bhagavad Gita says, “From anger comes ignorance, from ignorance confusion of memory. From confusion of memory the intellect is destroyed, and when the intellect is destroyed one is lost.” Getting lost in anger can create a lot of trouble for us in regards to our karma. We can say words we don’t mean, take actions we regret, and ultimately leave a mess that needs to be cleaned up.
It is a natural emotion to experience anger, but what we do when those feelings of anger arise is the key to being free from the negative effects. So we balance anger with Self Control. When the biology of the body wants to react to a situation, we can use our willpower to gain control of our anger response to respond rather than react.
The Bhagavad Gita goes on to say, “Those self-controlled beings who have controlled their consciousness are free from anger and desire. The soul established in wisdom on all sides (in every way) exists in Oneness with the Supreme Divinity.”

Day 16: Laziness and Energy
2025-02-13 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/noGyYj8aGYY?feature=share
Chakra: Solar Plexus
Meridians: Liver and Stomach
Emotions: Laziness and Energy
A lack of motivation can plague even the busiest of people. The emotion of Laziness is giving in to mediocrity and a giving up on expressing the lifeforce energy within.
We balance this with the life force itself; divine Energy. When we infuse our actions with the flow of prana, we can enliven the willpower act according to our highest inspiration.

Day 17: Meanness and Subtlety
2025-02-14 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/ScuGs_eXHNo?feature=share
Chakra: Solar Plexus
Meridians: Liver
Emotions: Meanness and Subtlety
Likely we have all been unnecessarily mean to someone when they annoyed us, did something to inconvenience us, or treated us poorly. This emotion can arise in us as a negative passion, and drive us to retaliate in a mean way. We want the other person to be put in their place. Emotionally speaking, it can cause harm to both sides when we react in this passionate way.
We balance meanness with Subtlety. Instead of dominating someone, or letting them tread on us, we have the option to correct the behavior and retain our stance with the use of subtlety.
Here is an example:
A father constantly criticizes his adult child about career choices, “I just don’t understand why you’d choose such an unstable job. You should have gone into accounting.” Instead of being mean, the adult child can respond with subtlety by saying, “I appreciate your concern, Dad. Stability is important to me too, which is why I’ve been strategic about building a career that fits my strengths. It’s working well for me, but I know that you are coming from a place of care.”
Another example:
Two partners are discussing weekend plans. The first, feeling frustrated, says, “You never take initiative in planning our dates. I always have to decide what we do.” Instead of being mean, a response with subtlety and poise would be, “I see that this is important to you. I do enjoy the plans you make, but I understand that you’d like me to take the lead more often. How about I plan our next outing?”

Day 18: Ego and Surrender
2025-02-15 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/QSAy-EeFuzg?feature=share
Chakra: Solar Plexus
Meridians: Liver
Emotions: Ego and Surrender
We need an ego so that we can stay incarnated in our body. Sometimes though, if we experienced a difficult trauma, our Ego can create a barrier around the intense emotions protect us from feeling that way again. Then throughout our life, our Ego will attempt to control a situation when that trauma is attracted to us again.
We balance this hurt Ego with Surrender. To be a servant of circumstance does not mean to give up or do nothing. It means to allow the circumstance to unfold without trying to control it. Allow the energy to express itself, and respond to it with a clear consciousness.

Day 19: Sickness and Strength
2025-02-16 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/cw3Iu4s49rA?feature=share
Chakra: Solar Plexus
Meridians: Liver
Emotions: Sickness and Strength
When my first teacher, a Shinto priest named Hideo Izumoto, was asked how often was sickness a cause of negative energy. He pondered for a minute and responded, “100%” in his cute Japanese accent. Since I first heard that idea, I’ve found many modalities claiming to cure illness with meditation alone. It is becoming common knowledge that the illness in our bodies is a result of the trauma, negative beliefs, or crystalized emotions that we have stored inside.
This Sickness is balanced with Strength. The strength of will to transform our experience and release the trauma and negativity that we have accumulated throughout our lives.

Day 20: Death and Immortality
2025-02-17 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/pt4zuWd9c2E?feature=share
Chakra: Heart
Meridians: Heart, Conception Vessel
Emotions: Death and Immortality
It is not uncommon for someone who has fallen into a deep depression to contemplate Death. Hopelessness, emptiness and self-doubt can drive us into no longer wanting to live this life, and ending our incarnation may seem like the only solution.
We balance this feeling with the experience of our Immortality. When you hear the stories of people who have had a near death experience, they have left their body and received a taste of the expansive, infinite Being that they truly are. It is a jolt of renewal, and when they wake up in their body again, they have a new lease on life. They understand that they came here for a reason, and it is important to see it through.

Day 21: Frustration and Peace
2025-02-18 08:00 - 08:30 | https://youtube.com/live/bg-o35LX0p0?feature=share
Chakra: Heart
Meridians: Heart, Conception Vessel
Emotions: Frustration and Peace
The emotion of Frustration can likely go without explanation. We have all been there. Being inconvenienced, being made wrong by others, being delayed, anything to hinder our journey can typically bring up feelings of frustration. It feels like a blockade on our path, or a kink in our energy flow.
We balance this feeling of frustration with Peace. With a peaceful heart, we can navigate these frustrations with the efficiency of a ninja. Instead of resisting whatever is causing the frustration, we can navigate it and see how whatever is happening can be incorporated into our journey. What is the frustration telling us about this moment? With peace in our heart, we can know.

Day 22: Restless and Focus
2025-02-19 08:00 - 08:30
Chakra: Heart
Meridians: Heart, Conception Vessel
Emotions: Restless and Focus
When our journey seems like it isn’t moving fast enough, and when we overly excited about reaching the next level, it can be said that we have a restless heart. This restlessness can grow into FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and push us towards someone else’s path rather than our own.
We balance this with Focus. The kind of focus that comes from be aware of the signs and messages from our guides, and what is called the Guru principle. This focused awareness is what notices the synchronicities and moves us along our path as if divinely guided.

Day 24: Rigidity and Flow
