How Attending To Our Chakra System Upgrades Our Days At Work

By Shea Ki

When was the last time you had to share your professional value in a high stakes situation?

Was it for an interview or an important presentation for work? Or to a different audience than you are used to on a podcast or in a leadership role?

Do you remember what that feel like in your body? 

For some a faster heart beat happens or sweaty palms. You might have found yourself talking faster than you meant to or with a shaky, quieter voice. 

For others it might have felt so intense or uncomfortable. Perhaps it seemed like your body actually disconnected from the experience. It is as if you could see yourself doing the interview, the speech, or the presentation from a view above the room.

In both cases. trying to remember the details of what happened or what was said during the big professional moment is a struggle. 

It seems like a blur.

And afterwards you were not sure if you represented yourself well or not. 

What if instead of this inner struggle, you could connect with more ease, authenticity, and confidence when it mattered most?

This month's topic in our Career Momentum Community will help you land that message on stage, behind the mic or in the hot seat better. But it will take an open mind and willingness to be curious.

I invited my guest for this episode of Career Momentum Chats to discuss an area of self-development that you may or may not be familiar with: Our chakra system.

Exploring and attending to our chakra system is a gold mine of support for better performance in a high stakes situation that anyone can access.​ I see evidence of its benefits every time I coach others on how to do this or when I use Reiki other other energy work on myself before I have to talk about myself in the hot seat.

Learning about our 7 main psychosomatic energy centers, or chakras, is a holistic way to naturally and effectively equip ourselves with more capacity to show up our best, authentic selves in front of any audience.

I am grateful that Francesca Mancini, who lives in Italy and is the founder of a successful crystal and jewelry store. She also recently started sharing more of her passions and guidance on a new YouTube channel.

Francesca is well known for her insight on many holistic areas and she generously made time to come on the show.

How lucky are we in this episode to get to dive into a conversation about the chakra system with an expert with years of experience?

​I know you will love as much as I do how Francesca explains our metaphysical world and makes tapping into it more accessible, beneficial, and practical to so many people.

Francesca has been called an Inner Pioneer. A Crystal Therapist. A Spiritual Warrior. Aside from these exciting ways she serves others, she is also a heart-centered business owner. In my experience, she is one of the most helpful guides I've ever had the chance to discuss energy and body work with so far. 

I knew when I saw that she calls herself a "Gratitudeholic", we would likely become fast friends. 

It doesn't surprise me that Francesca brought her incredible energy, extraordinary tips, memorable explanations about the chakra system and so much more to this episode. That's just who she is and it makes sense to me that we received a wink from the universe when we both showed up. Our shelves and items in the background are in such incredible alignment without any planning! 

Buckle up (or instead get that magic carpet out!)

Get ready for an enjoyable, spiritually engaging ride as you take in the flow and value that this Career Momentum Chat is here to offer you.

Your turn: I'd love to hear if this information about attending to our chakra system is new or familiar to you. I truly think it's one of the most under discussed topics in the world of work. I'm on a mission with many other mind-body-spirit service providers and several other holistic career coaches to change that. It is one reason I created this show. 

Paying attention to and taking care of our chakra system not just on the yoga mat or at the spa but also at work creates limitless benefits. Thank you for helping me spread the news far and wide about this and other holistic practices that we can do to upgrade our career journey.
