Intuitive Healing
Understanding the First Chakra
by sHEALy
As we take a few minutes to meet the first
charka, we enter into an agreement with our bodies and the
earth. We agree that we will honor ourselves as intricate
parts of nature. We agree that we will love our physical bodies.
Women living in today’s world have the opportunity to
surpass the orthodox teachings that often tell us that our
bodies are wrong in shape or purpose. We have leaders telling
us to listen to our inner voices and hear the voice of self
love. And, as we make a personal agreement to love our bodies,
we then become ready to truly know the first charka.
Sitting upon a safe and comfortable ground, we imagine our
bodies, filled with energy, vibrating into the earth. As we
imagine, we begin to recognize that more than imagination
is carrying our energy into the earth. The energy of the physical
body is real as the energy of mother earth is real. Together,
we and the earth, make a partnership and bond. Together, we
and the earth are strong.
Our bodies, filled with the heat and power of woman energy,
are like ancient pillars of hope.
Seated, we begin to find our power. For, it is the first chakra,
located at the base of the spine that draws our power from
the earth. As we breathe into our lungs and fill our body
with oxygen, we can physically feel the sensation of earth
energy moving upward from the earth. From deep within the
mother a natural power climbs and reaches our body. With warmth,
this powerful energy flows into our spine and awakens some
sleeping part of our selves. Our bodies awaken. We feel alive.
The desire to chant, sing and dance overtakes us. We spring
to our feet, now filled with energy. We move. We sway.
As we find our base chakra open and flowing in pure health,
we are prepared to grow. When our first chakra is empowered
we have the power to begin to create our physical desires.
We must plan to move forward and create our destinies. We
must set goals. We must believe in ourselves and our women
friends.
We have agreed to live a good life and help others do the
same. In honor of this agreement, we begin to share with others.
We allow our voice to speak to others by being present in
the moment. We allow younger women to travel their own paths,
yet we stand ready to answer questions and show the way when
guidance is needed. As we work, sleep and play we are in a
constant connection with our root energy.
Those who live well, draw upon the first chakra. They stop
in the moment, take a deep breath and go within. They find
their self present in the base of the spine. They gather thoughts,
feel gratitude and allow their inner wisdom to surface. Then,
they continue their day. Moving through the day, they directly
go toward that which is wanted and desired. Like an inner
battery, the first chakra purrs and grants motivation, physical
energy and confidence. And, when night comes, the battery
rests and recharges itself. Morning arises and the lovely
base chakra awakens and sits ready to work again. It never
fails.
Those who are first learning to utilize the energy of this
chakra are best advised to spend time meeting this energy.
Open the royal red door of this chakra with imagination and
deep breathing. Pay attention to physical sensations. Listen
to intuition and learn to work in harmony with this energy.
As you sit upon mother earth, know that you are dealing with
an amazingly large power. And, know that you are a small part
of this physical manifestation. As your love for mother earth
grows, so does your love for the first chakra, for they are
the same energies.
Lessons for intuiting the first chakra:
1. plant seeds and experience the physical manifestations.
2. set a goal to achieve a physical reward and work to create
that goal.
3. embrace another physical body.
4. exercise, strengthen and move your physical body.
5. build upon the earth.
6. sit firmly upon the earth.
7. pay attention to the physical food that is placed inside
of your body.
8. work with your physical hands.
9. collect stones, metals, shells, fur, feathers or any other
physical aspect of nature.
10. celebrate the magic of physical birth.
11. focus upon and celebrate your physical attributes.
12. enjoy the heat of sexuality.
13. enjoy the heat of menopause.
14. discover the temperature of your own body.
15. practice finding balance within your physical body.
16. allow yourself the reward of attracting financial rewards.
17. focus your attention at the base of your spine; feel sensations
and movement.
18. gather with those who are strong of mind and body.
19. test your physical strength often.
20. maintain physical health.
