Muladhara

Root Chakra ~ Foundations

“Where your attention goes, energy flows”

Element: earth

Most primordial, most dense 

Yantra/Symbol: white background with four red petals and a yellow square. The square symbolizes earth as solidity. Color yellow is associated with the clay of the earth. 

Bija Mantra (activator): Lam 

Attributes: security, family, ancestry and grounding. 

The original cells in your sacrum are the biproduct of your ancestry. If there’s a block preventing you from knowing your ancestry ~ that block can show up psychologically. This may show behaviours of detachment / avoidance. Behaviours signifying what we need to tend to. 

Part one – inner work: start asking the questions

• What’s your relationship with security, safety, abundance, family, ancestry?
• How do I strengthen and create harmony in my relationships in relation to my ancestry, family, close friends and the earth?

Part two: implementing behaviours in daily life that reflect on inner work

• Check in with your relationships now (partners, friends, family)
• Recognize that you are the deliverer of those patterns 
• Make the choice to keep bring healing to the patterns that caused abuse
• Meditative work in muladhara chakra 
• Plant new seeds in relationships that signify to the others that you are breaking that cycle / pattern of abuse 
• Work in the earth 
• Yoga internally change brain states so your body can adapt to what is happening. Consistent practice is important
