From Your Roots to Your Root Chakra

From your roots to your Root Chakra life can be easily navigated by understanding your energy system and how it guides your choices and emotions. The Root chakra, or Muladhara, is part of the chakras of matter as it is more physical in nature. It is located at the base of the spine and begins at conception becoming your survival guide throughout your life. This chakra is greatly impacted in the first stage of development, 0-12 months of age, or trust vs. mistrust stage. When basic needs such as safety, security, nurture, food, shelter and love are met as an infant the root chakra is balanced giving a sense of confidence security and trust in the world however when these basic needs are not met or there are forms of neglect during this early stage of life, the root chakra becomes blocked or imbalanced leaving one feeling insecure and lack of trust. This moves through your life and impacts your future. The root chakra holds what grounds you and what connects you to the Earth. It is associated with the adrenal glands, muscles, kidneys, skeletal system, colon, and arterial blood that flows through the left heart chamber; when it is blocked it can manifest through physical ailments such as lower back pain, leg, knee pain, and digestive issues. Emotional symptoms can be feeling displaced, anxiety, depression, excessive worrying, and eating disorders. This chakra is also connected to your current life Karma as well as your past life Karmas and spiritual energies of your ancestors. Those energies remain dormant until one or more needs are met or not met. If the needs were not met then discomfort forms both physically and emotionally; emitting negative energy flow. This means your root chakra is not happy and is imbalanced. If the needs were met then one feels accomplished, grounded, happy, and vibrant! This means your root chakra is happy and balanced therefore it emits positive energy flow.
