Chakra: Muladhara/Root

 

 

 

 

All foundations rest upon the earth--the universal ground for all thatwe do. Our

bodies are the earth of our spirit, the foundation, thehome. To connect with the

body is to connect with the earth, to begrounded in the biological reality of

existence.Situated at the base of the spine, the first chakra is the

foundationfor the entire chakra system. It is here we build the foundation

forthe entire chakra system. It is here we build the foundation for thetemple of

the body--the anchor for the Rainbow Bridge. Without astrong, rooted foundation,

little else can be accomplished. We musthave soil firm enough to provide

stability, yet yielding enough to bepenetrated by roots. The anchoring of this

temple digs deep into theearth, for its Sanskrit name, muladhara, means root.The

foundation contains the temple's energy by defining its scope,edges, and

boundaries. It defines a place, as a basic context of allthat happens to us. It

gives us a ground, a home, an anchor point forour experience. The foundation

largely determines the shape of thestructure above, determining what it can

hold, how high it can build,what kind of stresses it can withstand. Thus damage

to this chakra isreflected in each and every chakra above.To build a strong

foundation is to gain solidity. Solidity allows usto be firm and make

boundaries. Solidity has consistency, repetition,accountability. Our bodies are

the solid form of our existence; theyhave definable boundaries. To be solid is

to face what is in front ofus without flinching, to remain anchored in truth in

the face ofopposition, and to remain calm and secure.From Eastern Body Western
