Guest guest Posted February 20, 2001 Report Share Posted February 20, 2001 Dear Caroline, I found your root chakra information very enlightening. May I ask a question? I have tumors that began 20 years ago at the base of my spine. During my treatment, I, synchronictically, was drawn and made aware of kundalini for the first time. I had a strong positive emotional reaction to it as when something has connected with something personally significant. However, I have never been able to follow through with how it was relevant in my situation, although I believe it is. I have outlived my Drs. expectations, treatment has stabilized the tumors' growth but they are still there as a future threat. Any information or resources that you might have would be appreciated. Thanks, Celeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 This post is the beginning of the discussion we have talked about regarding the energy centers or chakras. It was originally posted in April 1999. The Root or Base Chakra Location: at the base of the spine and opens out between the legs in the perineum, facing the ground. Spinal Nerve Plexus: Coccygeal Glands: Adrenals Body Parts: Legs, Buttocks, Bones (structure & support) Sanskrit Name: Muladhara Element: Earth Color Vibration: Red Keynote Vibration: Middle C Focus: Grounding, Safety and Survival Stones: Red stones (garnet, ruby, etc) Incense: Cedar Foods: Proteins Affirmations: I am Present, I am Safe, I am Thriving Disorders: hemorrhoids, constipation/diarrhea, obesity, depression, dissociation, attention deficit, clumsiness, bone disorders, sciatica, knee problems, foot problems, failure to thrive, weakness, paranoia, multiple personality, sociopathy When we are well connected to the earth and our root chakra is functioning properly, we feel secure, grounded, well connected to our bodies and aware that we are alive. Some manifestations of a blocked or malfunctioning root may be minor, such as clumsiness (repeated injuries to knees and ankles, stubbing toes, for instance) and some may be very severe, such as loss of moral filters (sociopathy) or bone disorders like osteomalacia or osteoporosis. Obesity may be due to subconscious attempts to ground through eating, or weight the body down. In order to keep the root healthy, it is important to focus on the positive aspects of being alive and present in an incarnate body, consume nutrients in a conscious way, and allow ourselves time and privacy to eliminate properly. If clumsiness is a problem, paying attention to the mechanics of movement may be useful; Tai Chi or martial arts training, yoga or gymnastics can support the root. Walking barefoot, sitting on the ground, and communing with nature are all helpful to renew our attachment to the earth element, and wearing the color red, especially as underwear or footwear, can assist in grounding. When doing healing work with the root, music in the key of C, along with red filtered light or red gemstones will support the process. I was interested to read the traditional Indian correspondances also include animals. The " root animals " in that tradition are the elephant, ox, and bull.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 Hi Celeste: Well, we've certainly had a lot of lively conversations about kundalini around here lately. In my experience (I am not Hindu and though I practice Yoga, mine is not an esoteric practice) the movement of energy upwards can be stymied by a lot of things, including our personal filters... if you read my posts yesterday you may have seen my remarks about attachments. That is why, generally, in my opinion, most people experience the movement of kundalini during a time when they are in a slight trance, such as during meditation (sitting or moving), breathwork or an energywork session. For the same reason, some people experience it during sex/orgasm, or even during prayer (mystical ecstacy). You can make an effort to consciously foster the opening and movement of energy throughout your system. I'd encourage you to learn a daily practice that is simple and enjoyable enough to become habit. Since you have experienced a physical block at the base of your spine, you can use that as a place to begin your focus. Remember that a " fractured bone " , once healed, is even stronger! You can use some of the correspondences from the Root chakra post to begin... things like color, sound and scent. Be open to whatever you experience, and let go of any expectation that it will be like anyone else's description (one good reason not to read too much paphernalia about other people's experiences with energy rising... it creates an idea that there is a " right " and " wrong " way). If you decide to use a practice that has a " teacher " , you can ask what their personal experience has been, but do not limit yourself to that, as yours may be different. Use your Yoga instructor, Tai Chi sensei, Qi Gong master or Meditation teacher as a guide for learning the process. You can also " go it alone " with a practice of Self Reiki or other form of personal energy work like Chakra Connection. Be patient with yourself and journal your experiences and dreams. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask... there are a lot of people of varied experience here.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2001 Report Share Posted February 24, 2001 Hi Anne-Louise: Quite a bit of the correspondence information (the first part, and the animals) is from Anodea Judith, and the first edition of her book " Wheels of Life " .

I hate to be a pain, but would you be willing to forward on to me the other corresponding emails you have on the other chakras? The one you sent out on the root chakra was incredibly helpful to me (both in structure and content)! Thank you for your time and patience.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 Hi All: Well, thanks to some suggestions from my balancing half Mani, I am going to be working on my chakra page so that it is not so graphic intensive and takes so much time to load. I will be moving the gif for each chakra to its respective page and changing the gate page to simple links to facilitate an easier movement page to page. I should have that completed in a day or two, especially if the big snow they are predicting hits us here in Massachusetts <LOL> I'll let you know when it's all set.
