  <title>How the Chakras Relate to Polyvagal Theory + Your FAQ</title>
  <description>What if your chakra “block” isn’t a block — but your nervous system doing its job? In this bonus episode, I go deeper into your most advanced chakra questions: from how the polyvagal ladder maps onto the energy body, to why certain life patterns keep repeating. We’ll explore how trauma, somatics, and subtle anatomy intersect — and why your healing path isn’t linear (and was never meant to be). We’ll explore: 🔹 Are chakras sequential or cyclical? 🔹 Why trauma theory transforms how we understand energy centers 🔹 How the koshas and gunas make chakra work more precise 🔹 Why you keep facing the same life lessons — and what to do about it 🔹 How each chakra reflects your nervous system’s state (fight/flight/freeze) This is a practical, somatic deep-dive into energy anatomy, grounded in compassion, science, and lived experience. If you've ever said &amp;quot;I feel stuck,&amp;quot; this one’s for you. 🌈&amp;amp;nbsp; Discover your dominant chakra with my FREE dominant chakra test =&amp;amp;gt; https://www.brettlarkin.com/chakra-test/ 🎁 Grab my new book: Healing with Somatic Yoga: A 6-Week Journey to Release Emotions, Rewire Your Nervous System, and Reclaim Your Body → https://amzn.to/3WGulGG &amp;amp;nbsp; FREE Practice: 30 Min Somatic Yoga Flow through Somatic Movement for Hips, Lower Back, Sacral Chakra Relevant Blog: Opening Root Chakra Symptoms And How To Balance Muladhara &amp;amp;nbsp; Relevant to Today’s Episode: 📚 Healing with Somatic Yoga Book&amp;amp;nbsp; 🔮  300-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training 🐍  Yoga for Self Mastery 💖  Uplifted Membership 🎧 Also Listen to: #303 –  The 7 Chakras as a Tool for Personal Growth #324 –  The Importance of Emotional Processing and Regulation: DENT Model Trauma #390 –  The Koshas Decoded: Energy Layers, Leadership + Financial Flow with Carla Cline Thomas &amp;amp;nbsp; © 2026 Uplifted Yoga |  BrettLarkin.com &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
