HW: Chakra Series #1
Muladhara, The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine, it is an earth element and is red in colour. It is the chakra for stability, security, and our basic needs. It is composed of whatever grounds you to stability in your life, this includes basic needs like needing food, water, shelter, safety, but also our emotional needs of interconnection. If these needs are met, we feel grounded and safe. The root chakra affects the adrenal glands (fight or flight) colon, kidneys, skeleton bones and muscles.It also provides the link between our energetic system and the physical world and it is the base of our life force energy. The energy that flows through the root chakra helps us to feel grounded and connected to the earth, we literally “take root” and this flow of energy propels us forward on our life path.If these energies become stuck, stagnant, imbalanced, or blocked our vitality and want for life diminish. I feel that this can happen when we feel threatened in some way or we have experienced something very traumatic, we are left feeling lost and very insecure. This would give way to very low vibrational energies and could cause anxiety, worry, panic, depression, resentment, anger, low self esteem or just feeling like we don’t fit in!Balancing the Root chakra will allow us to harness courage, to be resourceful and the will to live during challenging times. It is the most dense chakra and the colour red is dense too, having the slowest wavelengths in the visible spectrum, but the most vibrant colour. The Bija seed mantra for the root chakra is LAM, it releases tension and removes blockages in this chakra and activates its energy. This helps to release buried hurts and give way to some beautiful healing.I personally try to balance my root chakra daily. I am an air sign and so I need to ground myself a lot! I think it’s also important for everyone to ground and balance this chakra especially during these stressful times.

I love that gif 😍 thanks Sukhi, 😊 it’s true for the air signs, if I don’t ground myself it’s like I’ve drunk caffeine! Another thing I can’t touch 🤪🤪🤪
