| Comments: |
Problems with the First Chakra (Root) coincide with major traumas in the first 5
years of life, including an extremely difficult birth experience. These themes
often recur around 30-34, 60-64 and 90-94.
Were you severely upset during this period? Was your mother absent for a
length of time due to illness? Were you abused or abandoned?
While most adults cannot remember these times, they "imprint"
themselves in our psyche and are manifested as a disturbance in the First/Root
Chakra which governs fear, survival and feelings of security.
In your adult life, if you've been abused in any way or been an abuser of
another--your First Chakra is likely out of balance.
An First Chakra Imbalance may manifest as a person feeling extremely powerless,
worthless, fearful, depressed and insecure.
Since this Chakra rules our need to "survive", an out of balance Chakra may manifest as a desire to
self-terminate. On the other hand, an imbalanced First Chakra may be expressed
as over-aggression, a need to push others aside at all costs to obtain the security/self-worth necessary to feel
more secure. An over-urgent need to bolster one's ego through possessions or by
abusing another to feel more powerful within oneself.
Physical symptoms of a First Chakra imbalance include frequent constipation/diarrhea and
hemorroids.

| Therapy: |
Chakra Therapy might include laying the proper gemstone upon the First Chakra for 5-25 minutes. Some recommend placing the stones
on the bottom of the feet. Black Tourmaline
(Schorl) is considered one of the most potent First Chakra gems. Wearing Black Tourmaline has also proven to be
quite effective, however it is highly recommended that internal work be done in
conjunction with the wearing of the First Chakra gemstones.
Imagine a red vortex of energy rising from the base of your feet, up
your legs to pool at the base of your spinal cord, between the urethra and
rectum area. At the same time, think of feeling secure, happy, powerful without
being aggressive. |
