Sacred Sexuality
This is the “Sex is Problematic” posture, if you’ll excuse the pun. Many people “do” sexual things, while “hotly” denying their sexuality. Of course, the joke is that sexuality is an energy, and as an energy, is simply (and indivisibly) a part of us — it’s there all the time. That we repress it, deny it, or try vainly to relegate it to the back burner does not change the fact that we are born, live, and die as sexual beings.

Centering
Thus, the relationship chakra is about how you enact your life, as you relate to what is around you.
What is your behavior, how do you relate, to your nearest and dearest?
The useful approach is to let go of clinging to labels, having judgements, and demanding that others change so that you can be happy. You own your experience, your feelings, and your actions. You see each thought and action as it is—a moment and a behavior in the here and now.
Grounding Your Self
Finding ground is the essential first step in living a mindful life. Here are 10 things to experiment with, each designed to connect you firmly to the ground.
Lost in Thought
This article is a guide to the awakened state. Being endlessly “Lost in Thought” is not helpful, and yet is the prevalent state. Let’s think, instead, of how we might balance things out–creating a unity of body, mind, and spirit.
Body Voices
There is a certain reluctance, for most of us, to exit our heads and to pay attention to our bodies, senses, emotions, and spirits. We begin to look at how to barely listen to the voice of our body, and in this way to become more centered and calm.
