3rd Dimensional: Chakras 1―7

1: The Root Chakr

 

 

The first chakra is the seat of the physical body. It is the connection that focuses our earth life. It connects us very specifically to the earth. It deals with issues such as grounding, and survival. In the early Lemuria period it was the base chakra that was most open. The first chakra deals with considerations about being here on earth. It is the color red, and is connected to the gonad glands.

PHYSICAL DYSFUNCTION OF THE ROOT CHAKRA
The root chakra is the lowest frequency of all the chakras.

Spinning slowest, means it is also the densest of them all and indeed it connects to those parts of the body that are solid and heavy; bones, nails and teeth, clearly, but also the large intestine, anus and prostate.

Problems with the root chakra often display as conditions of the elimination systems: the colon and bladder for instance, or prostate problems in men.

We might also see conditions concerning the anus and rectum, especially hemorrhoids.

Cramps and inflammation are common, as are eating disorders.

The immune system is indicated here so any type of auto-immune problem might point to some kind of root chakra problem.

Adrenal fatigue is often connected with this chakra.

FEELINGS, ENERGETICS AND MENTALITY OF THE ROOT CHAKRA
Root chakra energy is pure adrenaline.

It is fight or flight. Connecting with the adrenal gland, it measures, processes and responds to fear.

Its corresponding glands, the adrenals, live atop the kidneys and secrete hormones and neurotransmitters in response to stress conditions.

The molecule of negative expectation ― cortisol release ― directly correlates to this area.

Short term, stress hormones have an anti-inflammatory nature, preserving all the body’s resources to be able to respond to the dangers it sees before it. But longer term, cortisol turns on its axis, becoming inflammatory and endangering the organism.

Its developmental stage is the first seven years, so we can see how a child who has been emotionally neglected or mistreated might start to develop issues here.

Trust issues about our family play out here, and since the lessons are about what we need to do to survive, so do money issues, and more dangerously food and eating habits.

A child learns much about how the world sees him/her, and indeed his or her place there too.

What’s the difference between a child who is told they can do anything, and one who is perpetually insulted and derailed? We’ll see how root chakra energy directly results in ambition or not.

What does that look like on a material level?

Clean house or disgusting hole?

Yep, we’re back at root chakra issues again!

Feeling grounded is vital to confidence and the impact you believe you can make in the world. If the energy here is too weak, then Kundalini lacks the dynamism to force up to the sacral chakra of “I desire”. There is no climbing..

Even someone who previously had a healthy energy flow can see issues develop mainly because they are worried about security in some way.

Threats of redundancy, too many bills, husband leaving, house moves… all nibble away at the root chakra and can eventually cause issues in the physical body.

Likewise, of course, if you spend time in an abusive situation, or experience traumatic events, these dangerous circumstances will inevitably start to impact on your psyche and how safe you feel.

Clearly too, the nature of internal neurochemistry means you’re likely to feel anxious generally in life, even if it’s only one area impacting upon you.

Potentially this might be the easiest chakra to understand how this can happen, seeing the clear hormonal connection.
