Root Chakra
The center of physical
energy and vitality, the energy to succeed
in business
or material possessions. Center of manifestations.
The Base
or Root Chakra located
at the very bottom of the spine.
The Root Chakra governs issues around
physical self-preservation. These issues
include survival, security and safety,
as well as primal erotic and procreational
urges.
This chakra is the grounding force that
allows us to connect to the earth energies
and empower our being.
Every other chakra is downstream of
it and only receives the energy that
the root chakra can pass through to
it. The path to health and mystical
power goes right through the gender
organs.To
understand your root chakra, you must
come to a place of peace with your sexual
energy.
Throughout
the ancient world in historical and
mythological stories, the root chakra
has been associated with dragons and
snakes.
Dragons is a symbol for the kundalini
fire energy.

| When
the energies or vibrations from
two people's chakras are mixed,
the following takes place: the
light from the one chakra affects
the light from the other chakra,
these lightwaves are mixed in
a way, so they create different
figures. The figures created by
the lightwaves from the chakras
become more beautiful, the more
love there is between the parties. |
A
TEST TO SEE HOW YOUR Root Chakra
IS WORKING
Here's a simple test to see whether
your First (Root) Chakra is balanced
and working well.
1.
I have a lot of physical pain
-- lower back pain, problems
with feet, knees, or varicose
veins. (Physical pain in general
can indicate discomfort with
our physical bodies. When it
occurs in the legs, hips, knees,
ankles, or feet, this can signify
difficulty in accessing earth
energy.)
2.
I have habits and addictions
that run my life.
(When habits and addictions
run our lives, we are often
resisting the experience of
physical sensation.)
3.
I have many good ideas, but
I have difficulty materializing
them. (Problems with
manifesting ideas can indicate
a strong fear of failure, a
preference for the world of
imagination, and difficulties
with the rules of physical existence.)
4.
Routine things like balancing
checkbooks and daily tasks bore
me. (Confusion and/or
boredom regarding the practical
aspects of existence can symbolize
a basic distaste for the fundamentals
of physical life.)
5.
I spend a lot of my time and
energy in worrying about survival.
6.
My life is full of stress.
7.
Security is the most important
thing to me.
Worries about survival and feeling
desperate reflect feelings about
the general insecurity surrounding
physical existence, as does
the feeling that life is stressful.
8.
Physical existence is just something
we have to suffer in order to
reach a higher plane.
If
you checked off two or more
of the above statements, you
probably have some degree of
blockage around the Root Chakra.
