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 20 minutes to go through your space, decluttering it and allowing the energy to move better. Learn more here

CHAKRA
The Manipura Chakra, often referred to as the "seat of power" or "city of jewels," is the third chakra in the traditional chakra system, located at the solar plexus. It governs personal power, self-confidence, and ambition. Associated with the element of fire, this chakra is central to one's sense of purpose, motivation, and willpower. It's also linked to digestion and metabolism, both physically and energetically.
When this chakra is balanced, you feel empowered, purposeful, and capable of handling life's challenges with determination. A balanced Manipura Chakra brings about greater self-awareness and the ability to make decisions confidently. On a deeper level, this chakra governs the transition from a focus on individual needs to a broader understanding of one's purpose within the world.
