“The Earth is our Mother. Our body is formed from her elements and she supports and nourishes us. We should always be grateful to our Mother Earth and demonstrate our respect by protecting and caring for her.
In line with the Divine plan we humans should be protectors of the earth, not its destroyers. Our duty is to develop sympathy and love for nature and all living things. Those who are unable to empathize with others or to feel the pain of other living things will remain at a lower level of consciousness within the animal spheres, far below the Mūlādhāra Chakra.
The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the mother who nourishes and raises us. It is the seat of our dormant wisdom, the stronghold of our hidden spiritual powers and abilities. By awakening this Chakra – under the care of the spiritual Master – we accomplish the first step on our path towards a fully developed human consciousness, and beyond to God-Realization.”
I came up with some important realizations the other night when meditating. I was trying to understand how could the masses of people be operating in such alarming amounts of fear, and putting so much blind faith in to corrupt public leaders, and in to toxic health care solutions such as vaccines.
As I meditated I realized that the deeper reasoning is because people have become disconnected from their powerful and divine gifts of intuition. We are sparks of god, we have the ability to close our eyes and connect to source and in one moment be able to tap in to our higher selves, in to our intuition, and feel if something is truth, is something is beneficial for ourselves or our planet. If a person standing in front of us is ethical, can be trusted and has pure intentions.
I don’t need to research vaccines 24 /7 I intuitively know they are harmful, I don’t need to follow Bill Gates or Fauci, or the Media on TV, at one glance of their faces, their body language, I energetically feel they are not operating out of consciousness, truth, purity, with love for god and the planet.
Yet here we are at this very critical moment of time, with the majority of the masses unable to put these valuable gifts of intuition in to practice, consumed by fear. It is then I realized that the deeper root was at the base of the chakra system. And that in order to fine tune the third eye, intuition, we must begin at healing the root chakra, where all our fears reside. It is so important that we work on bringing back in to harmony all our chakras.
I found notes I had taken down on the Root Chakra and my wish is to share them and help as many people bring awareness to the importance of coming back to a place of faith security, and inner harmony. I also recommend Reiki classes, and meditation practice which will give you the tools to work daily on your self healing. This could possibly be the most powerful protection and act of love you can give yourself and the planet now. God bless.
Mūlādhāra Chakra _ Root Chakra
Mūla = Root, Origin, Essence
Ādhāra = Basis, Foundation
The Root Chakra is located in the base of the spine (tailbone)
Closest to the earth. The root is which we receive nourishment for spiritual development.
It is our built in Instinct for physical survival, urge for survival.
Ability to deal with family
Fears related to our existence
Feelings of safety and security in the world. Food, clothing protection.
When Balanced
Secure, protected, comfortable, honored to be part of the planet.
Unbalanced Expression of Survival
Worries of our basic needs for survival
Feelings of insecurity
There is not enough resources to provide adequate food, clothing, shelter.
The needs of this chakra will be so consuming that you will find it very difficult to focus on anything else.
Feeling like a victim
Fear of insufficiency
When unbalanced our perceptive will be distorted by the lens of insecurity.
Physical Manifestations of Imbalance: Problems with legs, feet, and lower digestive system.
Affirmations:
I am protected
I am honoured to be part of the planet
The earth supports me and my needs
I am divinely protected and guided and my path is made smooth and easy
I am here for a special mission
I love and appreciate myself just as I am
God made me perfect in every way
The universe supports my growth and development
I look after myself properly at all times
I release all negative feelings that hold me back from being happy and free
I walk with my feet firmly on the ground in trust and confidence
Activity
Find spot on earth that enlivens your physical being. This is when clearest energy comes to us. Each animal in nature has a different habitat on the planet that it thrives in.
What type of habitat most stimulates your being? Mountains. Hot beaches, gardens, cities, open spaces. What environment enlivens you? Nature is present even in cities. Bring it in to your life.
Ex in city- Plant flowers on your balcony.
A healthy root Chakra seeks out this contact. This is where we intimately stand up for our separate sense of self or to be swallowed up in culturally encoded norms of time.
Expectations
Family, School, Churches, friends, religion, co- workers.
Do these influences work for you? If not feeling disconnected to your own life will be a result.
Test of security
Is this born of spirit or is this what others choose for me?
Will you act with Faith or with Fear about survival issues?
Fear = Drives us further in to sense of separation
Faith = Leads us out of separation and into the awareness of the flow of life that is greater reality beyond seperateness to balance this chakra.
Energetic View of life
Don’t wait for the physical world to come in to balance in order to feel balance
Outer imbalance = Reflection of inner imbalance
Inner imbalance is not caused by situations in the world, the inner imbalance creates situations in the outer world.
Change the inner experience of energy and the ouer world will follow.
Exercise
When feeling insecure, realize the illusion.
Remedies:
Walk in Nature, commune with nature, notice the abundance of life and contemplate the universal life force running through all nature. There is enough life force to animate all various plants, trees, animals, rivers, clouds, everything! It is this same life force moving through us!
Realize that it is not your will that gets your gheart beating, your lungs breathing, or your blood pumping. There is a force greater than you, animating all of life, and you are a part of the fabric.
Sufficient self analysis needed. Does this situation actually meet my needs?
Safety
Feeling connected to the body and planet
Acute awareness of the instincts to protect the self
Grounding : gardening, hiking, walking, walking barefoot, visualization, meditation, sports
Grounding Visualization Exercise
Imagine a grounding chord that runs from the spine deep in to the earth. Imagine in your minds eye any excessive mental energy running down your spine and dissipating through the grounding chord in to the earth.
Imagine the grounding chord growing roots, like giant trees. Picture the roots of your grounding chord intermingling with the roots of the giant tree.
Imagine drawing energy up from the earth through your grounding chord. Picture the same centered strength being accessible to you.
Karmas
“The Karmas of our past lives rest in the Mūlādhāra Chakra, and from these arise the happiness or unhappiness experienced in this current lif). From every act that we perform or have performed a seed is sown in the Mūlādhāra Chakra that will sooner or later rise into the light; and these seeds determine our fortune. In each lifetime we have planted innumerable seeds that continue to grow and multiply until a dense, impenetrable jungle has arisen.
The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the seat of the unconscious. It is like a dark, locked cellar whose hidden contents we have only a vague idea about. Perhaps there are precious stones, or perhaps poisonous scorpions or snakes. When a snake is sleeping, therefore in an unconscious state, it appears to be peaceful and harmless, but in a wakeful state it can be extremely menacing and dangerous. When the Mūlādhāra Chakra becomes active qualities that we had not suspected were within us, such as destructive rage, all-consuming passion, excessive desires or deep-seated anger, can surface and astound us. Or, on the other hand, we can also experience wonderful feelings of freedom, joy, harmony and closeness to God.
All these experiences await us when we open the door of the unconscious and illuminate it with the light of knowledge. When we recognise our reality within the Mūlādhāra Chakra our entire perspective of the world can change instantaneously.
One question that is often raised is whether it would be better to allow the unconscious to remain buried rather than to stir it up. The answer is that we can only attain freedom when everything that we have carried with us since the beginning of our existence is brought up into the light. Further spiritual development is only possible when everything we have amassed has been processed and purified, and all obstacles from the past removed; it is only when our vision is clear that we are able to recognise the path that will lead us towards realization.”
LAM Mantra
“The Bīja Mantra (Seed Mantra) of the Mūlādhāra Chakra is LĀM, the sound of spiritual awakening. It releases tensions and removes blockages in this Chakra and activates its energy. And so the process of awakening the dormant powers within us and raising them into consciousness begins. Beautiful and healing experiences together with happy moments emerge from the past giving us strength and inspiration to continue on our path. But together with the pleasant experiences, we can also go through painful feelings in the Mūlādhāra Chakra. Buried hurts and disappointments that were deeply etched into our consciousness come to the surface so they can finally be healed and resolved.
Disappointment is not necessarily something negative. It means a transition, a step in our development, a teaching. Every learning step in our life is accompanied by the correction of a false idea, by “dis-illusionment”. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is often full to the brim with painful disillusionments. But, when we work our way through these misfortunes with wisdom they are transformed into valuable experiences and opportunities for development.
For as long as we live we will be confronted with problems. The ignorant take them merely as a nuisance and misfortune, but the wise regard them as valuable and beneficial experiences. When we learn from them and begin to work on ourselves we progress in our spiritual development. If we do not do this we remain stuck in the suffering and continue to replay the painful lessons.”
The “tools” that help us are:
- MANANA – To think about, to reflect
- SANKALPA – To have the right intentions, to make positive resolutions
- VIKALPA – To remove doubts and discard false ideas
- ĀTMA CHINTANA – To be conscious of the Divine Self (Ātmā) at all times
The more clarity we gain, the more conscious we become of our own weaknesses. Self-reproach and feelings of inferiority do not help us, but only rob us of our energy. When we learn from our mistakes and continue on our path with faith in God we gain in strength and therefore constantly become better at being able to cope with our inner experiences. It is important that we give up all of our well-worn “thought programmes” that have the effect of hindering and harming us, and instead develop and cultivate positive and beneficial ways of thinking.
The Lotus blossom of the Mūla Kamala has four petals depicting the four points of the compass. They represent the four fundamental psychic functions of mind, intellect, consciousness and ego – whose roots also lie in the Mūlādhāra Chakra.
Life is consciousness, and consciousness strives for evolution. The four petals also symbolise the four stages of development of life on this planet: Vegetation; simple life-forms such as bacteria and single-celled organisms; egg-laying animals such as fish, reptiles and birds; mammals; and finally humans .
The divinity of the Mūlādhāra Chakra is Shiva in the form of PASHUPATI MAHĀDEVA (Lord of the animal world). Lord Shiva represents consciousness and liberation. Liberation can also mean the elimination and destruction of anything negative and harmful. Just as a doctor must remove a cancerous growth to save the life of a patient Shiva destroys all negative tendencies. On his forehead Shiva has a third eye (which is why he is also known as “the Third-Eyed One”) and, whenever he opens this eye, whatever he gazes upon is burnt to ashes immediately.
As “Lord of the Animals” Lord Shiva keeps the animal forces under control. The Mūlādhāra Chakra forms the boundary between animal and human consciousness, and it is here that the transition from the sleeping to the awakened, creative consciousness takes place. Therefore, it is the first “Human Chakra”. Spiritual evolution begins from the Mūlādhāra Chakra.
At Shiva’s side there are two female divinities. Their names are ĀSURĪ SHAKTI and DEVĪ SHAKTI. Āsurī Shakti represents the destructive, divisive energy within us, and Devī Shakti the positive, constructive and uniting power. Through a positive lifestyle, confident attitude to life, keeping spiritual company (Satsang), good thoughts, understanding, forgiveness, helping and giving.
Shiva and Shakti are the primal principles of creation. Other terms for this are: Purusha (Self) and Prakriti (Nature), Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine principles.
An important symbol in the Mūlādhāra Chakra is the SHIVA LINGAM, an astral symbol for creativity, creative power and consciousness. In this symbol a snake winds around the Shiva Lingam three and a half times. The three rotations of the serpent represent the first three levels of consciousness – unconscious, subconscious and conscious; and the half turn refers to the awakened super-consciousness. As the head of the snake is pointing downwards this is an indication that the evolutionary process can also again go downwards. Wisdom does not develop by itself; it needs constant, conscious effort to purify the thoughts and steer the actions towards the good.
The evolution of consciousness is connected with time, and the snake is also known as KĀLA (time, past or death). Therefore, the winding of the snake around the Shiva Lingam can also represent time – past, present and future.
Another symbol of the Mūlādhāra Chakra is an inverted triangle. The tip pointing downwards indicates that we are at the beginning of our spiritual development; and the sides that spread upwards and outwards show the direction of the developing consciousness.
The Mūlādhāra Chakra is affiliated with the SENSE OF SMELL. The awakening of the Mūlādhāra Chakra can lead to a heightening of sensory perceptions, especially the refinement of the senses of smell and hearing, so that we become aware of aromas and sounds that are not perceptible to others. Some people can see auras or feel the thoughts and moods of others.
The colour assigned to the Mūlādhāra Chakra is RED. The colour red means energy and vitality. It indicates the existence of a strong, dense energy and is connected to the earth. Our existence has its roots in the earth and therefore the EARTH element (Tattva) is assigned to the Mūlādhāra Chakra.
The Earth is our Mother. Our body is formed from her elements and she supports and nourishes us. We should always be grateful to our Mother Earth and demonstrate our respect by protecting and caring for her.
In line with the Divine plan we humans should be protectors of the earth, not its destroyers. Our duty is to develop sympathy and love for nature and all living things. Those who are unable to empathise with others or to feel the pain of other living things will remain at a lower level of consciousness within the animal spheres, far below the Mūlādhāra Chakra.
The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the mother who nourishes and raises us. It is the seat of our dormant wisdom, the stronghold of our hidden spiritual powers and abilities. By awakening this Chakra – under the care of the spiritual Master – we accomplish the first step on our path towards a fully developed human consciousness, and beyond to God-Realisation.” Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda
