Root Chakra + Grounding
The Root Chakra (located at the fourth sacral vertebra) is related to how we feel stable, secure, and our sense of belonging - as well as exploring our base instincts of sex and survival.
The Base Chakra relates to matter, substance, + earth correlating to our eating patterns, self care methods, motivations, + our ability to manifest. Working on any chakra brings improvement, but without being truly grounded, the change is not sustainable.
If you’re feeling like your life is not within your own control, unhappy with your body, and easily angered by little issues - your Base Chakra may be imbalanced. Without the strong flowing energy of this first chakra, your spiritual energy ascent will be stunted.
A balanced Root Chakra has you feeling strong confidence in who YOU are and who you trust. You have the ability to adapt to extreme conditions with ease and feel comfortable in your sexuality. It urges you to become all they you are capable of being.
While the Sacral Chakra relates to sexuality, the Root Chakra associates with sex - when your Root is blocked, you’re robbed of the pleasure that derives from the two joining. A true orgasm encompasses your entire being - being able to experience fully without abandon = comes from an open Root.
Sexuality of each partner is activated within the Sacral, power of union within the Solar Plexus, love sparks within the Heart, enabling communication via Throat, vision + understanding through sensations throughout the Brow + Crown.
With an unhealthy Base Chakra, this mental, emotional, physical, + spiritual release cannot occur, causing frustration + disappointment.
Our Root reminds us of who we truly are. It encourages us to acknowledge our natural beauty, innate worth, + unique presence. It asks us to recognize our connection with creation + oneness; simplifying our existence. You are here as an amazing being, here for a reason.
Remember that your life is YOURS to live as you please. You are within your physical being as divine energy and only need to accept it.
