This week, Jenn and Katrina are continuing their conversation started in last week's episode about embodied spirituality, which is addressing the way that our bodies are impacted by energy, how they hold wounding, and how that can manifest in our lives.
If you haven't yet listened to last week's episode, we recommend you listen to that one first so you can fully receive the information in part 2.
In part 2, Jenn & Katrina are talking about the four upper main chakras (heart, throat, third eye, and crown), and what they look like when overactive and underactive. This episode is packed with practical information and tips for you to balance your own chakras!
1:40 - Jenn shares how blockages or wounding in the lower chakras are very common, and can cause overactivity in the upper chakras.

7:04 - Jenn shares about the energetic channel between the root, heart, and crown chakras.

Katrina calls this "the center of our being."
8:38 - "The purest energy of all of our chakras is the spiritual state. it's not anything we have to do or strive for. It is something that is innate. It is our truth. It is our connection to ourselves."

14:53 - "I like to see the heart as the center of understanding, whereas the mind is the realm of knowing. We don't always have to know everything, but we can understand. So understanding takes a little more faith, it's a little more subtle." - Jenn
16:55 - "When our hearts are fully open, we are embodying our higher selves. It's not a connection, it's an embodying, a becoming." - Jenn

34:10 - 35:12 "Do you feel like your life is in alignment with who you truly are?" "When we continuously start speaking our truth, we start to live our truth. We start to embody our truth. We start to let our lives be this expression of our truth. Our lives are the greatest story that we tell.
