Living Your Purpose - Class 3 Part 2A:

 Chakra One Grounding

For information on Therapeutic Breathwork and training opportunities go to: https://transformationsusa.com or inquire at: info@transformationsusa.com

In Class 3 of the Living Your Purpose Series, Jim Morningstar, PhD, begins an in depth study of our first chakra..


After covering the origins and functions of chakras, he focuses on the root chakra and how it affects your interface with the physical realm: your body, home, finances, work, and environment - representing your physical identity. He teaches a basic grounding exercise that supports daily stability on all levels.



Here is a list of many of Jim's videos on breathwork and integrative psychology.link to the playlists

If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If it is broken by inside force, life begins.

Great things always begin

from the inside.

AN INVITATION FROM A STUDENT AND COLLEAGUE



As a seasoned therapist and admitted workshop-addict,

I may, without any reservations say that Jim

Morningstar, PhD's trainings are the most informative,

loving, nurturing and transformative

experiences I have ever participated in. Jim's wisdom,

poise, brilliance and authenticity make this Breathwork

Master a delight to be around and his foundational

psychology blended with one's own spiritual beliefs make

this knowledge a joy to integrate into practice; it far surpasses

any Mind, Body, Spirit out there.

All this, drawing from many fields of knowledge and Jim is

funny and truly humble in his style and the participants are

eager to follow his lead and rapidly become a bonded group.

And he still keeps producing new amazing avenues for growth.

Top-notch and I highly recommend to any practitioner

looking for excellence in a self-growth experience.
