How Paddle Boarding Can Teach Patience and Align Your Chakras
Another gift paddle boarding can give you is aligning your chakras.. from your root chakra it can help you feel grounded and stable, from your sacral chakra you feel the sense of fluidity in your body when you paddle, smell the clean air and the sun on your skin, from your solar plexus you have a feeling of self accomplishment by being strong enough to stand on your paddle board and feel your strength, from your heart chakra you can feel this balance inside your self that can not be replaced, this love in your body for yourself and the beautiful nature around you, from your fifth chakra your sense of being able to verbalize your emotions becomes higher and you can express yourself in different ways on your board; if you are tired you can sit on your board and take in the beautiful scenery, if you have a lot of excess energy you can put the paddle between your legs and do some push ups, squats or whatever your body feels it needs to be stronger, from your sixth chakra you can stay on your board and just reflect on life, on nature, on yourself.. this is especially important if you are a care giver.. being able to focus and be present inside you own body for only yourself is great healing.., from your seventh chakra you leave this experience with a sense of awareness about yourself, nature and the life lessons you take with you from this experience.. I took patience with me and when my days get hectic and life becomes overwhelming I try and picture myself on my board and go through all the feelings I have learned from my board..
