Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hello dear Electra, Please see what I found and perhaps could help you- " The Base chakra The base chakra (sometimes called the root chakra) is a bright red energy centre located at the perineum, half way between the anus and the genitals. The base chakra is ruled by the element of earth and the planet Earth. It is the lowest of our major chakras and is connected with the base issues of life, largely about our physical selves. The chakra is connected with the skin, muscles and bones and any physical problems that have a general effect upon these areas may be related to a base chakra issue. The base chakra is about our physical survival – having food and shelter. All chakras are psychic and this chakra may warn us of impending physical danger and when we are in danger it will send immense amounts of energy to our body for fight or flight. As the base chakra is related to survival, money may also be a base chakra issue. Common problems in the base chakra may be because of our deep feelings of security or lack of it. An obvious example of this would be someone who lives constantly in the face of danger for their base chakra would be constantly enlarged and would suffer problems if this were a long-term problem. People who live or have lived with the threat of violence or with uncertainty about their survival would have security issues and would suffer with base chakra problems. The most common base chakra problems may be more subtle than this and are often related to how we feel that our physical environment is safe and welcoming or otherwise. We are greatly affected by those around us in our formative years so if parents believe that the world is an uncomfortable place their children will often take on this view. Parents who grew up in war years may retain the belief that there is a lack of food and that they are constantly in physical danger and these attitudes may be passed to children unless they successfully let those attitudes go with changing times and circumstances. People who have the feeling that there is never enough money for them to have a satisfactory life may have base chakra issues; they may be their own issues or taken on from parents. A child who was not fed when they were hungry or changed when they had soiled themselves or who were not given attention to their basic physical needs may grow up with retained base chakra issues. The base chakra is about foundation, purpose and grounding. The base chakra reflects our feelings about our right to have a life on Earth with all of our basic requirements met. The base chakra is also connected down the legs, to chakras in each foot and this further reflects the human connection to the Earth. Someone with well balanced base chakra attitudes sees the Earth as their Mother, the source of their physical bodies and the supplier of their physical needs. The Earth truly has an abundance of what we need to live and thrive here and well balanced base chakra people will gratefully accept the abundance of the Earth, knowing that they are worthy of it. Well balanced base chakra people have strong and balanced legs and a straight gait and can see themselves walking through their life with ease, happy to be on this beautiful planet with everything that they need given to them. Symptoms of an unbalanced base chakra are the feeling that life is a constant battle for survival, feeling that the earth is a place of danger, with dangerous creatures waiting to hurt them. People who feel that others are threatening and that they can do nothing about it may have base chakra issues. Another base chakra issue is the need to procreate and people who can respond to the base chakra need of occasional unemotional sex, without feeling guilty about it or denying the urge are connecting with their base chakra. Ungrounded people may feel nervous, twitchy or feel constantly light headed. They may have problems with their feet or legs and disconnected to their body or life. Base chakra healing comes with realising the truth about our physical security, or if we are genuinely physically uncomfortable, changing our circumstances. Leaving behind a constant or intermittent threat of physical harm is essential. The next phase is realising the truth about our physical selves and the world around us and this is slightly more difficult. It takes a big effort to really change the way we feel about the Earth, our physical selves and environment but it is well worth the effort. Sorting out base chakra issues will make us feel physically stronger and more secure as people. Looking at the base chakra issues that I mentioned above and really thinking about them and you is a good place to start. Think about what false attitudes your parents and mentors may have had and how you may have erroneously taken them on. See how the things that have happened in your life have changed or compounded your base chakra issues. Know that you can change your mind (you are the only person who can) and see things in a different way. Gardening, walking, eating and wearing red underwear are generally quite grounding things to do, but they will not sort out embedded mental attitudes or beliefs that are false. A concerted effort to realise the truth and move on, together with doing grounding things that you enjoy will help to heal base chakra problems.

Heart chakra (associated color: green (secondary color: pink); related parts of the body: thymus gland, heart, lower lungs, circulatory system, skin, hands) " <~~ That was my original thought when I read your post but then I found some relate base center to skin too...so who knows ))) http://www.wellspringreiki.com/wellspringchakras.htm Sir Artur Avalon relates touch with the Heart center too. Alice Bailey relates touch with the Solar Plexus center. So different personality different perceptions. We are all different yet the same At the end of the day it is YOU who knows better than anyone else.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi A, Thanks for all the info, and for taking the time to think of me And yes, my base chakra and heart and solar plexus were all involved, but I feel that the heart is open now, then the solar plexus opened, and then the base chakra opened in bangkok only recently when I had some very strange death related issues coming out and a very high fever. As I now feel very secure and grounded I think the base is doing well. I can feel that the sacral is the last nut to crack and then all will fall into place. It's linked with feelings of guilt and shame about my creativity and sexuality. I will certainly have a look at the sites you recommended though, thankyou again , x x x Inlove Elektra x x x Photos – NEW, now offering a quality print service from just 8p a photo.
