The Root Chakra – The Foundation Of Chakra Healing
The foundation of Chakra healing and Chakra balancing starts with a firm connection to the Root Chakra which is also called the Muladhara Chakra.
Chakra balancing begins In the root Chakra (Muladhara chakra) where all is potential. The energetic of the root Chakra represents the experience of our day to day life. It is the foundation of our everyday world experience. It is our experience of living in a body within this space time dimension. At the beginning of our lives our spiritual endeavor is to connect to the body and be well informed in the true meaning of that word. It is our work to become grounded in our physical bodies. From a psychological point of view the root Chakra is where the Self and everything that is Divine within us still sleeps. We are in a very real sense the Sleeping Beauty within. The lower Chakras have elements associated with them. The element that is associated with the root Chakra (Muladhara chakra) is the earth. It represents the connection to form and the need to have one’s feet firmly on the ground.
The person who has a balanced root Chakra lives life from the following point of view. They are fully able to say no and mean it. They can affirm their physical sense of “I am.” They appreciate the beauty of the body and give it delicious food, a proper amount of rest and can sense what the body needs when it needs it. They are not obsessive about their body image and neither do they overly concern themselves with issues around food such as obesity or anorexia. The person who has a well balanced root Chakra can manifest into form what it is they they desire to create in the world.
For an individual with a well-balanced root Chakra the world they live is seen and felt, for the most part, as being a safe place. Such a person has been fortunate to be grounded in a warm and loving environment where their wishes where met and their unfolding was encouraged in unique ways. Many people do not experience the world in such a fashion and they are easily thrown off balance. Any one of us might lose our job. We might experience the breakup of a key relationship. We can experience a crisis in our health. To support the growth of our consciousness and to move into higher stages of spiritual development we need to work hard to maintain the balance of the root Chakra (Muladhara Chakra).
Somebody with a poorly working root Chakra might well live in the realm of their imagination and take minimal care for the condition of the body. They take no exercise, live typically in their heads, eat food that has no life force left within it and aren’t in any way engaged with the earth. This, for the most part, is the experience of the majority of the population of the Western world with its epidemic of obesity and disease connected with having a poor body image. This is a form of unconscious body hatred and is shown by a kind of neglect of the body. In more extreme cases such body hatred results in the person taking their own life. Somebody with an unbalanced root Chakra is a person who’s sense of who they are is weak. They have difficulty in asserting the essence of the root Chakra. This is their ability to happily affirm their personal sense of, “I am.”
One key way to begin to ensure the balance of the root Chakra is to establish a program of regular exercise, sensible eating, development of the senses and to maintain a proper sleep routine. It can really help tremendously to try to create a feeling of safety within at least one area of your life. This is a place where, in a very real sense one can go to ground.
