The root chakra (muladhara) : our being’s foundation

Lately I am getting out to a wild spot near us as much as I can as early as I can.. Especially with the minus temperature winter mornings increasing to let Jasper run free, feel the healing of the earth and the many trees in this space as well as ground myself by sitting on the earth while absorbing the sunlight (when it is out) does make me feel so so good and full of energy and positivity. It is also an excellent antidote when others are pulling on my energy for yet more ‘help’.

I just did some research a moment agon and found this very interesting article on the root chakra (muladhara) from Sadhguru (this is a link from another part of that site on the 7 chakras and you can read a long piece on each one there).. He mentions in it how our physical body evolves out of the energy body as a baby.. But I am more interested that in our culture often the first two or three centers are considered ‘lower’ centers when in fact they are vitally important. As he says, without a good ‘root’ foundation it is hard for us to manifest anything in this life, or to experience a feeling of solidity and stability.. That is my experience as I do feel I have lacked that sense of solid ground in my own life and when this is missing we tend to be more swept away by other energies as empaths, especially if we and our parents lacked nurturing.

I hope you find something interesting and of benefit in reading this article.
