Understanding the Root Chakra Part 2
Sarah Taylor
Continued existence realization is the most important condition of the newborn, and if this stage of life is correctly taken care of, it should not be a regular issue later in life. Kids who are neglected, estranged from their mothers at labor (such as incubator babies), physically badly treated, or pain from brutal childhood sickness will be more expected to have first chakra troubles all the way through their lives.
The outcome can be the situational tribulations talked about above, as well as emotional troubles having to do with lack of concentrate or control, reliance on others, (unable to stand on one’s own two feet), probable eating disarrays, feeling unclear and ' blankness,' and a common incapability to 'let down and rest.' These are all indications that the first chakra is uncreative in some way, in general representative that the chakra does not open as it should be and permit the energy to run through without restraint.
If, on the other hand, the chakra is too wide open, then we turn out to be excessively emotionally involved at this level. We may be infatuated with money and belongings or our physical condition, powerless to tolerate transformation or to let go, and as an effect we get trapped in the same schedule, same old job and same old patterns.
When the chakra is blocked, we lack steadiness. When it is too open, we are motionless solid. The perfect condition would be to have firmness and flexibility in sense of balance.
The element related with the first chakra is earth. Earth is rock-hard, earth is strong, earth is below us, and earth provides us with our survival needs: food, clothing and shelter.
The cosmic energy that flows downward, like roots, toward the Earth is gravity. Gravity is created by load —the more load something has, the stronger its gravity.
The force of gravity permits us to stay associated with the Earth. We need not do something but relax, and gravity is there. When we let ourselves to pour elegantly with gravity, we are in synchronization with the downward flow of the first chakra.
The frequent term for this flow as it takes place in the human body is grounding. Grounding is a procedure of self-motivated acquaintance with the Earth that occurs through our legs and feet. When grounding is done properly, our entire body is nurtured and keyed up.
