If feeling grounded, settled, open, calm and peaceful is for you, then try this meditation. Often when you are anxious, agitated, sad, lonely, or when you suffer from the almost any of the other negative feelings, it is because you have lost your connection to the earth and to others (animate an inanimate) that you share this earth and this universe with. But your breath and the breath of the earth itself are the same breath. Your breath and your transformations are, in a way, the same as the cycling or change or expansion and contraction of everything in the universe. This meditation will help you restore that connection through the activation of your first Chakra. The Muladhara or root Chakra is your most primitive and foundational energy center. Located at the base of your spine, it represents the gateway between your physical body, the earth and the entire physical cosmos we call the universe or the 'world of phenomena and matter'. The earth breathes through the trillions upon trillions of plants that breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Though you may not sense it now, your breath and all those tiny breaths of every leaf and plant on the planet are the same breath. Through this exercise you can activate and energize your connection to every creature and form of matter in the physical universe. This is the power of your first Chakra. Choose to open yourself to it.
