In this episode, Lauri Stern introduces the first in her Custom Designed Wellness Chakracademy© Chakra Series, focusing on the root chakra (Muladhara). She explores the significance of stability, security, and belonging through stories like 'The Cat in the Hat' and 'A Mother for Choco.' The conversation delves into how childhood experiences shape our sense of safety and the physical manifestations of root chakra imbalances.

As a bonus, Lauri offers three practical exercises to help listeners balance their root chakra and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness in achieving emotional health.
