Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Hi Folks: Since I've gotten the last two posts completed, I'm going to start posting the full series of chakra posts again, starting with the Root. As always, if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to post for discussion! I will be posting the repeats about twice a week. The Root or Base Chakra Location: at the base of the spine and opens out between the legs in the perineum, facing the ground. Spinal Nerve Plexus: Coccygeal Glands: Adrenals Body Parts: Legs, Buttocks, Bones (structure & support) Sanskrit Name: Muladhara Element: Earth Color Vibration: Red Keynote Vibration: Middle C Focus: Grounding, Safety and Survival Stones: Red stones (garnet, ruby, etc) Incense: Cedar Foods: Proteins Affirmations: I am Present, I am Safe, I am Thriving Disorders: hemorrhoids, constipation/diarrhea, obesity, depression, dissociation, attention deficit, clumsiness, bone disorders, sciatica, knee problems, foot problems, failure to thrive, weakness, paranoia, multiple personality, sociopathy When we are well connected to the earth and our root chakra is functioning properly, we feel secure, grounded, well connected to our bodies and aware that we are alive. Some manifestations of a blocked or malfunctioning root may be minor, such as clumsiness (repeated injuries to knees and ankles, stubbing toes, for instance) and some may be very severe, such as loss of moral filters (sociopathy) or bone disorders like osteomalacia or osteoporosis. Obesity may be due to subconscious attempts to ground through eating, or weight the body down. In order to keep the root healthy, it is important to focus on the positive aspects of being alive and present in an incarnate body, consume nutrients in a conscious way, and allow ourselves time and privacy to eliminate properly. If clumsiness is a problem, paying attention to the mechanics of movement may be useful; Tai Chi or martial arts training, yoga or gymnastics can support the root. Walking barefoot, sitting on the ground, and communing with nature are all helpful to renew our attachment to the earth element, and wearing the color red, especially as underwear or footwear, can assist in grounding. When doing healing work with the root, music in the key of C, along with red filtered light or red gemstones will support the process. I was interested to read the traditional Indian correspondances also include animals. The " root animals " in that tradition are the elephant, ox, and bull. -- Blessings, Crow " Look for Rainbows in the Darkness " -- --- Rev.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2000 Report Share Posted June 10, 2000 Caroline, Thanks for the review, I personally use many of these correspondences in my own direct Chakra work. I also work to include a unitary perspective into my energy work. Modern medicine limits itself to treating diseases and conditions, which they often call problems. I look at diseases and conditions as symptoms of problems within the entire life field. I find direct Chakra work to be fundamentally necessary but limited to those specifics associated with the particular Chakra. In dealing with unitary pattern manifestations of the human energy field, I use the Chakra correspondences you have listed for treating specific events in the clients life. I also use the following correspondences for affecting the entire " Root or Base Life Field Manifestations " : Imagery: a young woman, crowned and throned Names of Power: Adoni/Adonath ha Aretz (Lord/Lady of Earth), Adonai Malekh (Lord King) Archangel: Sandolphon Angels: Kerubim, the Strong Planet: Earth (like the element) Virtue: Discrimination Vice: Inertia Titles: The Gate, Kallah, The Bride, The Gate of Death, Inferior Mother, Gate of Justice, Malkah, Queen, Gate of Tears Spiritual Experiences: Vison of the Holy Guardian Angel, Vision of Totem Animal Spirit Diety color: Yellow Archangel Colors: Ochre, Russet, Olive, Black Angel colors: Ochre, Russet, Olive, Black flecked with gold Planetary Color: Black, rayed with yellow Symbols: Altar of the Double Cube, Triangle of Art, Equal-armed Cross, Magic Cube Deities: Earth and Grain Dieties per individual cultural preference (Pan, Ceres, Demeter, Geb, Marduk, Nisaba, Myrddin, etc.......) Precious Stone: Rock crystal Plants: Willow, Lily, Ivy Perfume: Dittany of Crete Illusion: Materialism Obligation: Discipline Briatic: Stability For specific problems, as listed in Caroline's post, I use the correspondences she listed to bring relief. Then I use the above to assist the person in changing life patterns that lead to specific problems. Hope I didn't ramble on too much and that some might find these helpful. Blessings and Light, Lightseeker........
