ithin our body resides multiple energy fields called chakras. Although each chakra has its own unique purpose, together they play an important role in the body’s energetic system. When chakras are open and clear, the mind, body, and spirit will feel harmonious and in balance. When the chakras are disrupted by daily stress, toxins, or illness, we may feel fatigue, anxious, depressed, and/or general dis-ease. The first chakra is called the root or muladhara. It sits at the base of our spine and is connected to our sense of instinct, security, and stability. It is the foundation of who we are and is impacted by childhood experiences, basic survival needs, and our connectedness to the earth and those around us. When the root chakra is blocked, we may experience a lack of love, attention, abundance, support, etc. We may feel unworthy, fearful, materialistic, and unsafe. When the root chakra is open and balanced, we will feel connected, complete, abundant, empowered, and fulfilled by life. Exercise to Balance and Restore the Root Chakra
Grounding is vital to the health and wellbeing of the root chakra. It connects us to nature, calms the busy mind, and brings us back to the present moment.
