What is the root chakra?
Root chakra or known as Mulahdara is located bottom of the spine or coccyx’s and this is the first of the seven main chakras or known as the base chakra. The root chakra is what keeps us grounded, protected and safe from any negative, harmful or toxic energies and gives you a sense of security, like a protective bubble. The colour that’s representing the root chakra is red or black but also brown can be linked to the root as it’s a grounding colour. The symbol for the root is a red lotus with four petals with the earth element. Root being bottom, this is where kundalini energy comes from when you feel an energy go through the spine, that’s kundalini working. The music note for the root is C or anything with the key of C and if you harmonize C in the perfect 5 you have G which is harmonized with the throat chakra and the Bija chant is LAM.
How does the root chakra become blocked?
Personally, since the root is about protection and grounding, if this one becomes blocked or off balance, the rest of the chakras become vulnerable to being all over the place. Think of a goalkeeper for a football team, if the goalkeeper is not up to standards then your more open to conceding more goals and the morale becomes lower, if a goalkeeper is strong then rest of the team will fall into place. Blockages can happen through fear, being ungrounded, lack of being outside, insecure, anxiety, unhealthy eating, not much connection with the earth. Unhealthy frequencies can unbalance the root.
How to heal root chakra?
Practicing stuff like yoga or mindfulness can do the trick, chanting and producing the frequency for the root helps balance the root, eating root vegetables that come from the earth. barefoot on the earth and soil helps bring electrons to bring healing energy and balance, or any skin that connects to the earth. Crystal like black tourmaline, onyx, obsidian, Smokey quartz, carnelian, fire quartz helps but Shungite is a very underrated crystal for grounding as it channels out EMF frequencies. Stuff like Cedarwood and Sandalwood are excellent for the root chakra. That’s all with what the root chakra is? Please click on the link for a short guided mediation for the root chakra below.
