Getting to the Root of Things
Do you build your relationships on rock or sand?⠀
⠀
Are you the kind of person who dives right into a partnership and then wonders why it doesn’t work? Relationships are like houses. Before you start constructing the palace, you need to lay down a solid foundation. Without it, the structure is going to be unstable and may even collapse.⠀
⠀
This is why it’s so vital that your first chakra - the root chakra - is open and flowing. Located near the base of your spine, this energy center affects the health of your physical body, your emotional body, and all of the things you interact with in your life. ⠀
⠀
When your root chakra is healthy and balanced, you feel like Wonder Woman - grounded and confident. Since you attract what you put out into the world, this chakra’s energy will help you draw in a secure and relaxed relationship that is built on deep trust.⠀
⠀
When this first chakra is imbalanced, it causes problems in how you relate to others. This lack of confidence can make you feel like you’re not enough, which in turn can cause jealousy and insecurity in your relationships.⠀
⠀
But now for the good news: when you open your root chakra, it will move you towards feelings of connectedness, confidence, and safety. This will impact your ability to give and receive love. There are many things you can do to heal your root chakra, including breath work, affirmations, sound therapy and the use of crystals. ⠀
