The Root chakra

The root chakra is what makes us connected to Earth, where we come from and where we finally go, where we stand, our nurturing mother Earth.
This chakra is located at the base of the spine, when it's balanced we feel grounded, secure and at home everywhere we go.


me being a rather introvert woman, I have an under active root chakra and I suffer from discomfort in public,not being at ease in a crowd, I don't easily go towards people and I am still trying to feel home and safe everywhere I go.
But I have years of anxiety disorder behind me so I still have to keep learning and working on that chakra.

Maybe it's also the fact I am so unmaterialistic and too much of a dreamer, that I fly high in my world all the time, I live in poetry a lot and imagination is a good place to be. I love to embellish the real world, yet I feel balanced in what is real and what is dream, and I am convinced we can put dreams in our reality and it's wonderful!

The root chakra is related to the color red, life force, blood,survival,primal and fundation.

here are some questions for you to answer :

1) Do you take good care of your body? have a healthy diet? do regular exercises?

2)Do you have any physical pain?

3)Do you welcome abundance in your life?or does it scare you? Are you working hard and earn enough from your work?

4)are you balanced and connected body and soul or do you separate both,have tendencies to be more your soul than your body?

5)Does fear hold you back in your life?

6) do you feel physically there, living in the here and now?or do you have a hard time to stay focused and centered?are you the kind of person who lives with the desire of a better tomorrow all the time( as if you always needed more)?

Sacral chakra: I am life body and soul and I live in hopes and faith

The sacral chakra is associated with the color red-orange and situated in the lower abdomen to the navel of the human body.


When you sacral chakra is balanced you have a fullfiling sexual and emotional life.
You are able to express your desire and emotion, you are aware to be body+soul and you are clearly aware of being allowed to be a spiritual and also a sexual being.



when your sacral chakra is blocked or over active you have tendencies to be over emotional, have a lack of control over your emotions, easily blame on others for your pain,may feel guilty about expressing your real emotions or desires.

Here are some questions for you ,feel free to answer here or at your own blog and provide a link here in the comments, or of course you can do it for yourself only in a paper journal.

1)What are you passionate about in your life and how does it make you feel?

2)Can you transforme deep and hurtful emotions into creative works in order to let go and balance your life?

3)Are you able to express each and any of your emotions? how do you feel right now? fears?anger?joy?sadness?

4)Are you comfortable and in bloom in your sexuality or do you feel guilt, lacks, unable to express a lot about your desires, blocked by past , mistrust or lack of self confidence?

5)How do you behave in society, amongst a group, do you feel you can be yourself and trust others, or are you rather aside, shy?

6)Compare on how you emotionally deal with big sorrow/pain/disapointment versus immense bliss/big time joy/pleasure?

and I will end up with this quote:


Hey you, expecting results without effort! So sensitive! So long-suffering! You, in the clutches of death, acting like an immortal! Hey sufferer, you are destroying yourself!

-Santideva, Bodhicaryavatara

My interpretation of this buddhism wisdom quote is that yes we suffer but why dwelling in the darkness?why just living a life of endless lamentation,drowning the beauty and sacredness of our soul in our pool of bitter tears.

Seize the day my friends!

It's time to dry your tears and go right back towards the Light of being alive above Life itself ^______^
