Balance Your Root Chakra
Have you ever had the experience of turning onto your street or pulling into your driveway and not remembering the drive home? Or walking into another room only to forget why you went in there? It’s as if there’s an autopilot switch in your brain that mysteriously goes on and then just as mysteriously shuts off, “ding you’re here.” Don’t worry, being on autopilot isn’t a sign of a chemical imbalance you’re probably just not grounded.
A terrific way to become more grounded is to balance what’s called your root chakra. Chakra means “wheel” in the ancient Hindu language of Sanskrit, and just as the name indicates chakras are wheels of energy found within the energy field of your body.
Imagine a gently flowing mountain river. Along the flow of the river imagine that there are small plateaus where the water pools before continuing down the mountain. This is what your energy body is like; a gently flowing river with seven beautiful pools of energy. These pools of energy start at the base of the spine and continue up along the spine to the crown of the head. Your thoughts, feelings, genetic make-up and life situation will affect the flow of energy in any given pool of energy or chakra, either in the positive or the negative.
