HARMONIZING
THE DOJO
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that focuses on harmonizing individuals with their surrounding environment. It originates from the Taoist understanding of nature, particularly the concept of qi (or chi), which is the vital life force that flows through everything. The goal of Feng Shui is to optimize the flow of qi in a space, creating balance, health, prosperity, and well-being.
There is no better way to start your daily practice than harmonizing your dojo. Take 10 minutes to go through your space, decluttering it and allowing the energy to move better.
Gratitude is the seed of trust planted in the soil of the root chakra.
When we give thanks not just for abundance, but for the mere fact of existence—breath, bones, shelter, earth—we nourish the Muladhara, our energetic root system.
This gratitude anchors us, reminding the body it is safe, held, and supported. From this place of security, we no longer grasp or fear; instead, we remember we belong to the Earth, and She belongs to us. True gratitude is not an emotion—it is a foundation, a state of grounded being that whispers:
“I am enough. I have enough. Right here, I am home.”
journaling
· What anchors me to feel safe and steady today?
· How does gratitude for stability show up in my body?
· What small routine or support am I thankful for right now?
