Please note:This audiobook has been generated using AI Voice. This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The body is the only place you are guaranteed to have, and it is the source of your aliveness. If you are disconnected from your body, you are disconnected from your aliveness, from the natural world, and from your most basic inner truth. #2 The body is the testing ground for truth, and when we lose that, we lose our sense of aliveness.
We become easily manipulated, and we lose our testing ground for truth. #3 The first chakra, located at the base of the spine, is the foundation for the entire chakra system. It is here we build the foundation for the temple of the body, which anchors the Rainbow Bridge. #4 The first chakra is the foundation of consciousness, and it is the underlying element of the instinct to survive. When threats are frequent, then consciousness becomes fixated at this level.
This keeps the body in a state of hyperstimulated readiness, flooded with stress hormones that promote the fight-or-flight response.
