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\u2019ll explore how trauma, somatics, and subtle anatomy intersect \u2014 and why your healing path isn\u2019t linear (and was never meant to be). We\u2019ll explore: \ud83d\udd39 Are chakras sequential or cyclical? \ud83d\udd39 Why trauma theory transforms how we understand energy centers \ud83d\udd39 How the koshas and gunas make chakra work more precise \ud83d\udd39 Why you keep facing the same life lessons \u2014 and what to do about it \ud83d\udd39 How each chakra reflects your nervous system\u2019s state (fight\/flight\/freeze) This is a practical, somatic deep-dive into energy anatomy, grounded in compassion, science, and lived experience.
