What is your most effective way to meditate?

Brothers who study human design, here is my chart. I have noticed during meditation or breath work that the energy flowing up the spine from the root becomes trapped/constricted at the G center(my mid back). This is my indication that something needs work. Any advice or techniques to help open that up?

I'll ask this question of the brotherhood: Did any of you grow up with pressure to exhibit a certain type of masculinity through external activities, such as sports, hunting, etc.? Or were you taught there is only one type of masculinity, perhaps shown through aggression, misogyny, etc.? My father was a serial adulterer but wasn't exactly the most masculine man around. There was never any pressure on me from him to act a certain way. For me, trying to learn what masculinity was, what being a true male was, I was gathering clues from classmates and society as a whole. This wasn't always successful, but I feel I navigated the many types of masculine expression fairly well until coming into my own as an adult male.

Hi brothers, happy Monday 🙏🏾 How do you motivate yourself to achieve your goals?
