Breastplate of Righteousness and Sacral Chakra\nEmbodying the Full Armor\n\nBreastplate of Righteousness // Sacral Chakra\nThe Breastplate of Righteousness, protects the heart and vital organs. It could be likened to maintaining purity and moral integrity through God in one's relationships and emotional connections. \n\nWhen I place the Breastplate of Righteousness on each morning, yes, I know that it protects my heart from the fiery darts, but I also praise God that it is protecting those things that He placed in my heart such as the dreams and creative gifts He has blessed me with. I spend time thanking Him for these gifts and that He has created one of the largest pieces of armor to protect the most important organ, my heart, and the seat of my soul.\n\nKeep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23, AMP\n\nThe Sacral Chakra is located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs. This powerful God-given life center relates to emotions, relations, and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. It brings us fluidity, grace, depth of feeling, fulfillment, and the ability to accept change. This life center is also associated with water because of the elements of fluidity and grace.\n\n Allow the Lord\u2019s grace to rest upon you and then flow through you upon others. \n\n A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another....\u201d John 13:34.\n\n Embodied Practice\n\nSong: At the Cross by Chris Tomlin or Hillsong\nFlow / Postures: Flow freely - if desired, focus on the chest and core, specifically the heart and gut areas where the breastplate would be by practicing postures such as:\n\nAny revolved postures (Supine, seated, inverted or standing), focus on one posture and then practice the revolved version (See Suggested Embodied Flow Card 1)\nLegs up the Wall alternating between pointed and flexed feet\nReclining Pigeon to Revolved Reclining Pigeon\nPractice kegels \nAny heart openers such as Sphinx, Cobra or Upward Facing Dog (or a flow including all of them)\nWarrior II, Side Angle, Revolved Side Angle\nTriangle, Revolved Triangle\nCamel, Rabbit or Child\u2019s Form in stillness (checking in with your [core] self)\n\nBreath Prayer / Affirmation (Can be done with hands on the area): My soul is refreshed and restored.
