The Root Chakra
The Root Chakra
Let's get grounded! Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra is our primal energy center. It stores our kundalini energy, which is our spiritual potential that is waiting to be awakened as we begin our spiritual journey upwards. It supports us as we build a solid structure and foundation in our life which nurtures us with a sense of security, stability, and safety. Many people on the spiritual path have a tendency to focus on the more ethereal powers of the higher chakras, but if we're not balanced in the root chakra, we won't be able to access and utilize this higher wisdom in a productive and sustainable way.
When balancing the root chakra, Mother Earth is our greatest healer. It’s helpful to step both bare feet into the soil of the ground as you feel yourself rooted into the earth like a strong tree. Rest and reflect upon your favorite rock or tree while breathing and absorbing the power of this primal energy into your body as you align yourself with nature’s wisdom. The root chakra also calls for us to be fully present and practical as we tend to our physical needs, home, and earthly responsibilities.
I’m obsessed with trees and the strength and energy they provide. Whenever I need to ground myself I go out and hug, climb, or just be near a tree. This Banyan tree took my breath away! It was a delightful surprise to stumble upon it while hiking through the bamboo forest in Haleakala National Park. I immediately climbed while my husband was taking pictures. Literally two seconds after the second picture was taken I fell out of the tree!!! I guess I needed to be more grounded.
