Add-on to Root chakra Space






Intro Similar to veins carrying blood throughout the body, there are energetic channels (Nadi) that act as pathways carrying vital life energy (prana) throughout the entire being internally and externally. Chakras maintain the flow of our life and conciousness. By paying attention to our energy, we can find what areas of our life need attention and care. People can read these energys we give off and the people around you can influence your vibrational frequency as well. We are energetic beings. Chakra literally means "wheel" or "circle" in Sanskrit. The concept of chakras originates from Hinduism in ancient India. These are focal points used in a variety of ancient meditation or yoga practices. These practices are collectively called "tantra". Although the concept is frequently found in early traditions of Hinduism and are often mentioned in the Vedas, beliefs around chakras differ between various Indian religions. Buddhist texts consistently mention 5 chakras, whereas Hindu texts and sources speak of 6 or 7 chakras.Early Sanskrit texts speak of them both as meditative visualizations combining flowers and mantras and as physical entities in the body. Within kundalini yoga, various breath exercises, visualizations, mudras, kriyas, and mantras are focused on manipulating the flow of subtle energy through chakras. Chakras are also present in Ayurvedic traditions. The belief behind chakras is that human life simultaneously exists in two parallel dimensions, one is the physical body and the other is psychological, emotional, mind, non physical (the subtle body). The aforementioned subtle body is energy, while the physical body is mass. The psyche or mind plane corresponds to and interacts with the body plane, and the belief holds that the body and the mind mutually affect each other. The subtle body consists of energy channels connected by nodes of psychic energy called chakras. The chakras - in Hindu and Buddhist texts - are said to be arranged in a column along the spinal cord, from its base to the top of the head, connected by vertical channels. Tantric traditions strive to awaken, master, and energize these chakras through yoga and often with the help of a teacher. The esoteric traditions in Buddhism generally teach four chakras. In some early Buddhist sources, these chakras are termed as manipura (navel), anahata (heart), vishuddha (throat), and ushnisha kamala (crown). However, a system of five chakras is common among classes of tantra in Tibetan Buddhism. These five chakras are basal, abdominal, heart, throat, and crown, and each chakra corresponds with an element, a Buddha, and a bija mantra. The more common and most studied chakra system incorporates six major chakras along with a seventh center generally not regarded as a chakra. The chakras are traditionally considered meditation aids. The yogi starts from lower chakras and progresses to the highest chakra located in the crown of the head, in the journey of spiritual ascent. In the Hindu kundalini and Buddhist candali traditions, the chakras are pierced by a dormant energy residing near or in the lowest chakra. in Hindu texts she is known as Kundalini, while in Buddhist texts she is called Candali or Tummo. Some terms and definitions: Kundalini yoga: A type of yoga focused on channeling energy through the chakras. Mudra: A symbolic or ritual gesture or pose in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. Mudras have meaning in many forms of Indian dance and yoga. In hatha yoga, mudras are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while in a seated posture, to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of prana and is associated with consciousness in the body. Mudras are also used in tantric practices. Kriya: Practice within a yoga discipline meant to achieve a specific result. The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali defines three types of kriya, namely asceticism, study, and devotion. Such yoga is called kriya yoga. Kriya is a Sanskrit word that literally means "to do" or "to work". Mantra: A sacred utterance, a sound, a syllable, word, or phonemes, or group of words in Sanskrit, Pali, and other languages. They hold spiritual and religious significance. At its simplest, the word "om" serves as a mantra. It is believed to be the first sound which was originated on earth. It creates a reverberation in the body which helps the body and mind to be calm. In more sophisticated forms, mantras are melodic phrases with spiritual interpretations such as a human longing for truth, reality, light, immortality, peace, love, knowledge, and action. Not all mantras have literal meanings but rather are simply uplifting. Going Deeper Chakras are located along the spine and influence different nerve systems, organs and glands with their energy. These vortexes of energy are originated from Brahman, according to Hindu beliefs. It is presumed that as Shakti flows from one chakra point to another it exhausts the body and soul. The energy that becomes coiled in the base of the spine (root chakra) is called Kundalini. The spiritual goal is to awaken and release the Kundalini in order to attain a greater consciousness and merge it with the Infinite consciousness of Brahman. Through meditation and Kundalini yoga, the energy can pass back up the spine until it reaches the top of the head (crown chakra), producing a mystical experience. Root chakra organs that are associated with it The root chakra, also known as Muladhara chakra, is associated with several organs and functions in the body. It is said to govern the organs and systems located in the lower part of the body, including: 1. The reproductive system: The root chakra is closely associated with the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, testes, uterus, and prostate gland. It is believed to regulate sexual energy and reproductive functions. 2. The urinary system: The root chakra is also associated with the bladder, kidneys, and urethra. It is believed to influence the elimination of waste and toxins from the body. 3. The musculoskeletal system: The root chakra is connected to the bones, legs, feet, and spine. It is said to govern physical stability, strength, and balance. 4. The adrenal glands: The root chakra is associated with the adrenal glands, which produce hormones that regulate the body's response to stress. Overall, the root chakra is considered to be the foundation of the chakra system and is believed to play a crucial role in maintaining physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual growth. Pranayama recommended for it There are several pranayama (breathwork) techniques that are recommended for balancing and activating the root chakra. Here are three practices you can try: 1. Deep belly breathing: This simple technique involves inhaling deeply into the belly, filling it with air, and exhaling fully. As you inhale, visualize the breath flowing down to the base of your spine, where the root chakra is located. As you exhale, imagine any tension or negative energy leaving your body. Repeat this for several rounds, focusing on the sensations in your belly and lower body. 2. Kapalabhati: This is a more dynamic breathwork technique that involves rapid, forceful exhales followed by passive inhales. To perform Kapalabhati, sit with your spine straight and take a few deep breaths. Then, begin exhaling forcefully through your nose, pumping your belly in and out with each exhale. After 10-20 rounds of exhales, take a deep inhale and hold the breath for a few seconds before exhaling slowly. Repeat for several rounds, focusing on the sensations in your lower body. 3. Ujjayi breath: This is a gentle, oceanic-sounding breath that can help calm the mind and energize the body. To perform Ujjayi breath, sit comfortably and breathe in and out through your nose. Constrict the back of your throat slightly as you inhale, creating a soft, hissing sound. Exhale through your nose with the same sound. Repeat for several rounds, focusing on the sound and sensation of the breath in your lower belly. Remember to start slowly with any pranayama practice and pay attention to how your body responds. If you feel any discomfort or dizziness, stop and rest before continuing. With regular practice, pranayama can be a powerful tool for balancing and harmonizing your energy centers, including the root chakra. The root chakra, or Muladhara chakra, is believed to receive energy from the earth because it is located at the base of the spine, which is the part of the body that is in direct contact with the earth when we sit or stand. In yogic and spiritual traditions, the earth is considered to be a powerful source of energy and a grounding force that can help us feel stable, secure, and connected to the physical world. The root chakra is associated with the element of earth and is said to represent the qualities of stability, grounding, and support. When the root chakra is balanced and activated, we feel more centered, calm, and confident in our physical existence. On the other hand, when the root chakra is blocked or imbalanced, we may feel anxious, ungrounded, and disconnected from our body and the world around us. One way to connect with the earth's energy and activate the root chakra is through grounding practices such as walking barefoot on the earth, spending time in nature, and visualizing roots growing from the base of your spine deep into the earth. These practices can help you feel more rooted and connected to the physical world, and may support the health and balance of your root chakra. Hyperroot chakra The concept of a "hyper" root chakra is not commonly recognized in traditional yogic or spiritual teachings about the chakra system. In general, when we talk about the chakras being "overactive" or "spinning too fast," it usually refers to a state of excessive energy or activity in a particular chakra, rather than the root chakra specifically. That being said, if the root chakra is overactive, it could manifest as an excessive focus on material possessions, physical comfort, or security. This may result in an individual feeling overly attached to their possessions or finances, or experiencing anxiety or fear around financial stability and security. On the other hand, if the root chakra is underactive or blocked, it could lead to feelings of insecurity, instability, and lack of grounding. This may manifest as difficulty feeling connected to the physical world, a lack of confidence or trust in oneself, or a sense of disconnection from one's body. If you are experiencing symptoms of an overactive or underactive root chakra, it may be helpful to work with a qualified yoga teacher, energy healer, or therapist to explore and balance your energy system. They can help you identify any imbalances in your chakras and recommend practices to support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Root chakra too slow If the root chakra is unhealthy or spinning too slow, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances. Here are some signs that your root chakra may be unhealthy or underactive: - Feeling disconnected from your body and physical sensations - Difficulty feeling grounded or rooted in the present moment - Chronic feelings of anxiety, fear, or insecurity - Financial difficulties or a lack of stability in your life - Physical symptoms such as lower back pain, constipation, or fatigue If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, there are several practices you can use to balance and activate your root chakra: 1. Yoga postures: Certain yoga postures can help stimulate and balance the root chakra, such as standing poses like Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend), and Warrior I. 2. Meditation: Meditation can help calm the mind and connect you to the present moment, which can be helpful for grounding and balancing the root chakra. You can try focusing on the breath or visualizing a red, grounding light at the base of your spine. 3. Affirmations: Affirmations can help reprogram negative thought patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to an unhealthy root chakra. Try repeating affirmations such as "I am grounded and supported by the earth" or "I trust in the abundance of the universe." 4. Crystals: Certain crystals, such as red jasper, garnet, and hematite, are believed to be helpful for grounding and balancing the root chakra. You can place these crystals on or around your body during meditation or carry them with you throughout the day. Remember that working with the chakras is a holistic practice that involves balancing your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is important to approach chakra healing with patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to explore and learn about yourself. Other yoga poses In addition to the yoga poses I mentioned earlier, there are several other yoga postures that can help stimulate and balance the root chakra. Here are a few more to try: 1. Malasana (Garland Pose): This pose is a deep squat that can help ground the body and activate the root chakra. To do this pose, stand with your feet hip-distance apart and lower into a deep squat. Place your hands in a prayer position at your heart or extend them forward, and hold for several deep breaths. 2. Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose): This pose can help open up the hips and pelvic area, which is associated with the root chakra. To do this pose, sit on the floor with the soles of your feet touching and knees bent. Gently press your knees down toward the floor and lengthen through your spine. 3. Balasana (Child's Pose): This pose is a gentle forward fold that can help calm the mind and activate the root chakra. To do this pose, kneel on the floor and lower your forehead to the ground, stretching your arms out in front of you. 4. Vrksasana (Tree Pose): This pose can help improve balance and stability, which are qualities associated with the root chakra. To do this pose, stand with your feet hip-distance apart and shift your weight onto one foot. Lift the other foot off the ground and place it on the inner thigh or calf of the standing leg. Raise your arms overhead and balance for several deep breaths. Remember that the most important thing when working with the chakras is to tune into your body and listen to what it needs. Experiment with different poses and see what feels good and supportive for you. Mudras Mudras are hand gestures that are used in yoga and meditation to channel and direct energy in the body. There are several mudras that are associated with the root chakra and can help balance and activate it. Here are a few to try: 1. Muladhara Mudra: This mudra is performed by touching the tips of the thumb, index finger, and ring finger together, while extending the other two fingers. This mudra is believed to help activate the root chakra and promote a sense of grounding and stability. 2. Ganesha Mudra: This mudra is performed by interlocking the fingers of both hands, with the left thumb pointing downward and the right thumb pointing upward. This mudra is associated with the Hindu god Ganesha, who is often associated with overcoming obstacles and promoting success. 3. Prithvi Mudra: This mudra is performed by touching the tip of the ring finger to the tip of the thumb, while extending the other fingers. This mudra is believed to help connect you to the earth element and promote a sense of grounding and stability. 4. Vajrapradama Mudra: This mudra is performed by interlocking the fingers of both hands and pressing the palms together. This mudra is believed to help promote a sense of inner strength and stability, which can be helpful for balancing the root chakra. Remember that mudras can be practiced during meditation or incorporated into your yoga practice. It's important to focus on the intention behind the mudra and tune into the subtle energy shifts that may occur. Music & frequency Music can be a powerful tool for balancing and activating the chakras, including the root chakra. The root chakra is associated with the frequency range of 396 Hz to 432 Hz, which are both considered to be healing frequencies that can promote a sense of grounding and stability. Here are a few types of music and sound frequencies that are recommended for the root chakra: 1. Binaural Beats: Binaural beats are a type of sound therapy that use two different frequencies played simultaneously to create a third frequency that can promote relaxation and balance. The frequency range of 396 Hz to 432 Hz is often used in binaural beats designed for the root chakra. 2. Nature Sounds: Nature sounds such as rain, thunderstorms, and flowing water can be very grounding and calming, which can help activate the root chakra. Listening to recordings of natural sounds can create a peaceful and calming environment that can help balance the root chakra. 3. Tribal Drumming: Drumming has been used for centuries in many cultures as a form of healing and spiritual practice. The deep, rhythmic sound of tribal drumming can be very grounding and energizing, making it a great choice for balancing the root chakra. 4. Tibetan Singing Bowls: Tibetan singing bowls are a type of instrument that produces a deep, resonant sound when struck or played with a mallet. The vibrations from the singing bowls can help activate and balance the root chakra, as well as promote a sense of relaxation and inner peace. Remember that everyone's experience with music and sound frequencies is unique, so it's important to listen to your body and find the type of music that feels most supportive for you. Extra note For the first through fourth chakras, it is necessary to apply what is known as the "Jalandahara Bandha." This is where you nod your head and press your chin firmly, but gently against your chest. This greatly facilitates the effects of the chants in the lower chakras. Mudras (hand positions) are used as these connect certain circuits within the fingers and redirect the life force to the chakra being opened. Some of these are difficult, especially if your hands are larger. These mudras are helpful, but not necessary. If you find any of these hand positions difficult, just leave them out. To open the base chakra, place your hands in the position like the sign of the horns. Your finger pads should be touching and your thumbs should be touching side by side down to the fleshy part known in palmistry as the "Mount of Venus." This mudra produces a heat sensation in the hands and stimulates the base chakra. Don't worry if you cannot feel the heat sensation as this takes sensitivity. Breathe in and fill your lungs, but not to discomfort and with the exhale, make the s-s-s-s-s-s-s- s hissing sound Kundalini is like lightening. While exhaling with the hissing sound, try to imagine/feel your base chakra as very hot and visualize it about the size of a pea, opening and expanding into a vortex. Spin this vortex. Continue visualizing your chakra lighting up into red/gold and expanding with a bright white/gold fire, about the size of a silver dollar coin in diameter and imagine the feeling of it growing hotter as it gets brighter. The hissing breath should be done seven times. Align your base chakra point facing upwards as you did with your solar and sacral chakras. On last exhale and inhale bring it back to small bright red light at base of spine
