Chakra of the month: Root Chakra

The first chakra is the Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine. The sanskrit name Muladhara translates into root support. Having a balanced Root Chakra is essential as it is the foundation, connecting us to the physical body, our surroundings and the earth. 

Balanced Root Chakra:
Contact with the physical body, knowing what we need and fulfillning our needs. Feeling safe and confident in ourselves, in relationship with others and with our sourroundings. Feeling centered, grounded, patient, geneous and trusting ourselves and our path. 

Imbalanced Root Chakra may occur as:
Lower back issues, arthritis, constipation, hemorrhoids, poor blood circulation, depression, anxiety dissorders, mental illness, eating dissorders, addictions, weight issues. Feeling of being abandoned, scared, isolated, restlessness, ungrounded and low self esteem. Difficulties of letting go and dending on the security of others, of a job, materialistic things or specific habits. Anger, greediness and feeling disconnected from your body and/or the world around you. 




How to balance Muladhara:
- Yoga
- Meditation
. Go for a walk and/or walking meditation
- Spend time in nature
- Treat yourself with a massage
- Dance
- Affirmations
- Get enough sleep
- Eat red foods...
