Understanding the Root Chakra Part 1
Sarah Taylor
The first or root chakra
The first chakra is originated at the base of the spine, the end you are sitting on right now. Its given name, Muladhara, means 'origin or root,' and the course of power in this chakra extends descending like a root all through the legs and feet to get in touch with the solid Earth below.
Its shade is a deep red, and its representation is a lotus of four petals inside which is a downward- positioning triangle, being a symbol of the root energy.
An uncomplicated way to uplift this chakra is to sit up straight in your chair with your feet flat against the floor and push a little into your feet. Your legs will stiffen a bit and there will be a greater than before flow into your root chakra. As you calm down your legs and feet, you will feel that flow moves away, and as you tense them up, you can feel your body turn out to be more solid. It is not compulsory to press on our legs every now and then for the first chakra to perform, but this is an easy technique by which we can boost the course of energy into our lower body while doing such intellectual tasks as functioning at a desk, conversation on the phone, watching TV, or being seated in a job interview.
The Muladhara chakra is the institution for the whole chakra system. Its purpose is to act in response to any questions with reference to survival: eating, sleeping, exercising, getting better from illness, putting together a living, or plainly feeling safe and secure. If our continued existence desires are appropriately taken care of, then we can securely concentrate on other aims, such as education, inventiveness, or relations. If there is some injury to the chakra, then we find ourselves constantly dealing with fear to our survival, which limits us from achieving additional features. These fears might be changing jobs, having to move, recurring health troubles, weight tribulations, and/or a common feeling to be afraid for one’s security.
These are all problems that strike infrequently in the ordinary pattern of one’s life. Anytime they take place, they activate our first chakra programming. Having to shift another place may make us sense insecurity, bring in a cold and fever, or affect us in eating additional. It is only when such concerns become a recurrent example that a first chakra trouble is pointed out.
