Chakras
Our chakras are the energy centers of our bodies. It translates to wheel or disc in Sanskrit. Much like the root system of a tree, our energy centers are interconnected. We all have seven orbs of energy that spiral and spin within our souls. A healthy Chakra system is beautifully aligned, but when energy gets stuck, we may feel blocked or unable to act in an emotionally balanced way. Fortunately, there are methods you can take to heal these blocks through self-awareness and spiritual guidance.
Today, I want to discuss the Root Chakra also known as the Muladhara. Our Root Chakra is the foundation of our system. It is our own root system that serves to ground us. This energy center sits at the base of our spine. It embodies our basic survival skills. When that root energy is aligned we feel as if our needs have been met and we feel safe and secure. We trust that we are divinely supported. We are vital and passionate, and connected to our higher source. We have a trusting relationship with ourselves and others.
If you struggle with feeling safe and secure, you may have a blockage in your root chakra. My friends from Tamed Wild Sorcery provide this advice to unblock your root chakra energy and live your best life. They recommend wearing red or procuring red crystals. These two simple practices can help the support of unblocking that energy. Another very vital approach to clearing your energy block is to be out in nature. Perhaps take your shoes off and feel the coolness of the earth under your feet. Meditate, and in your meditation, imagine you are a tree and your roots to the center of the earth.
Do you have a favorite red piece of clothing or a red jewel that makes your heart sing? After a hike or a trip to the coast, do you feel more alive?
