Finding Balance Within the Muladhara Root Chakra

Are you continually worried about paying the bills? Have problems and family situations? Frustration, concerns? Are you burnt out? The Root Chakra influences your physical vitality, physical survival instincts, 'fight or flight' reaction, and the emotions of jealousy, rage, desire and greed. The Muladhara or Root Chakra governs the lessons of surviving the material world. The First Chakra holds information involving family devotion, superstitions and beliefs, and your ability to remain true for yourself, and your sense of protection, self confidence, and stability are rooted here. Deficiencies in the Muladhara might be revealed as losing interest with real-world activities, physical addictions and obsessions, envy, restlessness, volatile feelings and a lack of energy. The Muladhara chakra is positioned at the root of the spine. It's the Chakra used to ground yourself to Mother Earth, and can be used to let go of all that negativity, and to recharge yourself! The Root Chakra's vital color is red, more negative colors are black, brown and gray. It serves as the connection to the Etheric layer of the aura and the physical body. It is the auric layer closest to the body, and consisits of a grayish 'heat wave' 2-3 inches around the body. It anchors the aura, and connects it with the awareness of the physical human body, and with physical survival. By far, the easiest, quickest, and best approach to release the fatiguing and irritating difficulties brought on by energy blockages in the Root Chakra is through sound. Sound is a very direct, vibrational energy, quickly felt by the body. Just wear a set of earphones, close your eyes, and rest for 27 minutes.
