The 2nd body that we will undress is your Mental Body.
Mental Body
Mental Body’s Energy: Masculine
What it is:
It is the Body that RULES most people’s world. Some say it’s the EGO.
Brene Brown says “When we imprison our Hearts to Protect our EGOS. We kill courage. Yes, A liberated heart is more vulnerable, but it’s also more daring.”
This means we often shut down our EMOTIONAL Body to “Protect” our MENTAL body.
- Mental body = Your individual (and absorbed) thoughts, attitudes, judgments, and prejudices
- How you perceive your self worth AND your value in the world
- How you perceive other people’s worth
- If you think your value is greater than another
- A CALL FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
- If you think your value is greater than another
- How you perceive other people’s worth
“When we imprison our hearts to protect our egos, we kill courage. Yes, a liberated heart is more vulnerable, but it’s also more daring.”

What it represents:
All things intellectual, like how you learn, process, and express yourself. Mindset is one of the most important elements for balancing your bodies – because some many people are stuck there. The ability to cultivate clarity, Creative Vision, and make that Vision into a reality – are all keenly tied to your ability to think.
Behaviors when the Mental body is balanced:
- Growth Mindset Is Activated
- Problem Solving is FIRING
- Clear & Concise Communication
- Ability to integrate Emotional or Physical with directness & support
- Minimal mental waste, nonsense, or hamster wheeling.
- Instead, Northern Alignment!
How the Underbalanced Mental Body Displays Misalignments:
- Brain fog & Confusion
- Unclear Thoughts / lethargy
- Lack of Purpose,
- Neuroses – over judgement, doubt.
- Low Self Esteem, Low Self Worth
Physically, for female identified bodies this can manifest as a lack of a menstrual period and little self-care.
For male? Lack of desire or ability to sexually connect. Or using sexually as an ESCAPE stress versus a means to emotionally connect.
How the Overbalanced Mental Body Displays Misalignments:
- Ego-centric & excessively driven
- (Corporate Executives much ;)) – speaking from experience
- Extreme? Narcissistic or Sociopathic = having little or no empathy especially when it comes to work or success.
- Less extreme? Consistently doing too much = inability to say no + sync into pleasure
People often experience physical pain in the form of headaches and jaw aches, even upper shoulder tension.
How to ALIGN & BALANCE to Mental Body:
The person “stuck in their head”? Needs to drop into their body.
But not FORCE the body with regiment & high stress workouts. Start here:
- Kundalini yoga!
- Enjoyable moderate cardio (walking in nature or with a friend)
- Therapy, Coaching, or Education specializing in Emotional Expression
- Goal: Cultivating Intuition & Emotional Intelligence
- GET IN TOUCH with energy/emotions and spirituality for balance.
You might need to re-anchor (i.e., do some inner child work) and oftentimes seek support with energetic work from a trusted guide (Coach, Therapist, Energy Practitioner)
