BALANCING YOUR ROOT CHAKRA

It's time to finish the root chakra so that we can move on to the Sacral Chakra or second chakra.

Our chakra system is entwined with our endocrine glands which control the chemical factories of our body via our hormones. All of this is connected to our energy from the most subtle level up to the physical level.

Did you know that our chakras are connected to our past and our current attitudes? In other words our past/biology and attitudes/thinking equals our biology.

You need to remember that our chakras also connect us to our soul.

It's time to raise our awareness of our root chakra. Since survival is the key to our root chakra it makes sense that this chakra is one that is based on a fear of change. Change is a threat to our survival goes on to lead us to a fear of success and a fear of rejection.

Part of our growing process in when we commit ourselves to fulfilling our values. This is success. Our growing process entails valuing ourselves, forgiving ourselves and loving ourselves. Every mistake we make is part of growing as a person.

According to Dr. Roy Martina, in order to raise the manifestation and creative powers of the root chakra, we must become process-oriented instead of results-oriented. Success is not determined by the end result of a project, but the person we become while we pursue the final goal. If you feel as if you "failed" to achieve the outcome you were looking for, it's time to step back and ask yourself these questions: Did I "fail" because I wanted to get someones attention, care, or another basic need met? Did I really want to stay in my comfort zone? Did I really want the goal that I'd chosen for myself? or Did I do this for me or did I do it for someone else or to prove myself to someone else?

We've all been known to say or feel "I didn't succeed in reaching my goal because I couldn't....". Success is embracing your talents and skills but also your limitations and weaknesses (your identity). EMOTIONAL BALANCE

Have you listened to your self-talk lately? Is there some self-criticism going on upstairs? This is an indication of dischord or disharmony in your root chakra. Superficial opinions, formalities, pride, perfectionism, stinginess, pettiness and narrow-mindedness are also good indicators.

Other things to be aware of are becoming attached to rules, structure, organization, and you prefer secrets, ceremonies, rituals, suspicions and superstitions.

Once you become aware of these behaviors, you can begin to balance your root chakra by learning to let go, connecting with the universal consciousness, tolerating other people, places and things, humbleness, love, becoming softer and more compassionate to others, and acquiring a team spirit. We're all here to work for the greater good.

Some basic points to remember are:
1) The elements attached to the root chakra are Matter, Earth.
2) The organs involved are rectum, colon, adrenals, stress, bones, legs, blood vessels, and immune system.
3) Consciousness is all about survival, security, bodily functions and adaptation to change.
4) When we are in harmony we trust, have self-respect, have the ability to let go, acceptance of others and     ourselves, and we feel safe.
5) When we are in disharmony with our root chakra we have these behaviors: humiliation, shame, abuse of authority and feeling inferior.
6) The second truth is ALL IS ONE.

7) The Root chakra sacrament is baptism, welcoming into life, family and community.
8) Our energy comes from our tribe's power.
9) Fears attached to root chakra: fear of change, fear of rejection.
10) In order to stay balanced feed your body nutritious foods and positive thoughts.
11) We place emphasis on competitive happiness and success.
12) The use of positive affirmations start with "It is safe for me..." "I am able..." "I have..."
