I am so glad you are here in this moment. 

This episode kicks off a chakra meditation series that I will be putting out over the months to come. I recommend listening to this meditation every day for 5-7 days, to connect in with root chakra and begin to balance, ground and stabilize this center. Below is some background on the root chakra. 

Thank you for being here. 

-The first chakra we'll be connecting with is the Root chakra. (Muladhara chakra in Sanskrit) This chakra is located at the base of the spine and the color associated here is red. The element of earth and the vowel sound "UH" is also associated with the root chakra. The function of this chakra is safety and security in one's body and environment. It is also associated with feeling grounded, stable, accomplished, kundalini energy, in the moment living, movement and action.

When this chakra is blocked or unbalanced some common issues that can occur are feeling ungrounded and scattered, difficulty standing up for yourself, procrastination, always thinking ahead/never in the moment, problems overcoming obstacles or attachments.

The reason we start here is because it provides a base for all the other chakras to flourish. If one does not feel safe  and grounded in their own body it can be extremely difficult to focus on anything else let alone healing other chakras.
