how religion can keep you disembodied

this is why we lead through fear and have no sense of identity

One of the most profound ways institutions maintain control is by cutting us off from our own bodies, which is our source of wisdom.

Organized religion, in particular, has historically targeted the lower three chakras—the foundation of our sense of safety, identity, and empowerment.

By instilling fear, guilt and shame into your unconscious programming, you begin operating in a way that keeps you disembodied and constantly seeking external validation for truth and clarity.

They told you God is within you, but they never wanted you to embody that truth.

So, let’s break this down:

Your Root Chakra (Muladhara): This energy center is about survival, security, and belonging. Fear is often used here. Fear of punishment, fear of sin, fear of eternal damnation. When your root is destabilized, you feel disconnected from the earth, unsafe in yourself, and reliant on outside authority to “save” you.

Your Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): This is where creativity, pleasure, sensuality, and emotional expression live. Religion has historically imposed guilt here. Guilt around sexuality, desire, feminine power, the body itself. This is also where healing energy lives. When guilt rules the sacral chakra, joy and creative flow get blocked, and your connection to your body—your compass for healing—becomes sinful instead of necessary.

Your Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): This energy center governs willpower, self-confidence, and personal authority. Shame is the weapon here. Shame for questioning doctrine, shame for wanting autonomy, shame for trusting your own power over another. A shamed solar plexus keeps you small and obedient, disconnected from your inner authority.

Here’s the kicker—the developmental stages for these chakras begin in the womb until you are a toddler, so the environment your mother was in while pregnant with you and your first few years of life will drastically influence the energetic balance of these foundational centers.

When fear, guilt, and shame dominate these chakras, the result is disembodiment—a separation from the very core of who you are.

Instead of knowing yourself through direct experience of the Divine within, you’re told to know yourself only through rules, hierarchy, and doctrine.

But here’s the truth: You don’t need a middleman to God.

Your body is the temple. Your intuition is the teacher. Your lived experience, your inner gnosis (direct knowing), is the doorway to the Divine.

Religion may have conditioned disembodiment, but healing happens when you reclaim your root, honor your sacral, and ignite your solar plexus. That’s where sovereignty begins.

I share how these patterns are planted, and how they show up in everyday life, so you can begin to break free from unconscious limitations and remember your power here.
