About this session
- Boosts morning energy
- Grounds the body
- Opens the heart
- Sets daily intention
This is a standing, moving practice that wakes your energy system from the ground up. Anodea Judith asks you to picture your legs as the prongs of a plug pushing into the earth, then lifts that charge through each of the seven chakras with movement, breath, sound and simple affirmations.
It suits anyone who wants to get out of bed and into the day with some spark. Use it first thing, before screens and chores, when you have room to stand, stretch and shake. Along the way you also set a gratitude and an intention for the hours ahead.

Why does the practice begin with gratitude and an intention?
Before any movement, you imagine the day as something like your birthday, full of good surprises, and give thanks in advance. Anodea Judith says to hold that expectation without attachment, so you can enjoy whatever arrives as the right thing at the right time. Then you choose one or two words, such as focused, loving, peaceful or inspired, and state them as if already true: I am focused, I am loving.
What is the plug image at the start of the movement?
You stand with feet shoulder width apart, heels slightly wider than toes, and picture your two legs as the prongs of a plug going into the earth for power. You then bend your knees on the inhale to draw earth energy up to the first chakra. On the exhale you push down and out, as if pushing floorboards apart, like a seed sending roots down. You may feel a slight trembling or tingling in your legs.
What is breath of fire and how is it done here?
Called Kapalabhati, it is used at the third chakra, the solar plexus, to stoke an inner fire of courage. You take a deep breath in, then with your mouth closed you snap your diaphragm inward so air pushes out through your nose, and let the inhale happen by itself. After a rapid round you breathe in, hold, and release with an ah sound.
How do the movements change from one chakra to the next?
The second chakra gets hip swings like a child on a swing, which build into a ripple up the spine and a shake of the arms and head. The third gets a belly-firming torso shimmy and knuckle taps on the solar plexus. The heart opens with wide arms and elbow-high twists, and the throat with shoulder lifts, humming and ujjayi breath. The brow has you part imaginary curtains over your eyes.
What are the sentences I say to myself for?
Each chakra ends with short affirmations in the first person, such as I am grounded, I burn with purpose, I am centered in love, or I trust my intuition. They anchor the physical feeling of each area with a simple message. You can repeat them silently or use them as phrases to return to later in the day.
What happens in the final minutes?
You stand still with your eyes closed and feel the present moment, picturing everyone who has practised alongside you. You lift the crown of your head and imagine the seventh chakra opening like a thousand-petal lotus drinking in sunlight. You finish with hands in Namaste, opening your eyes and meeting the eyes of someone across from you.
