Why does it sometimes take so long to make a shift in our body, behaviors, actions, and thoughts? You can thank your root chakra for the slow steadiness of your change! Reflecting back to our discussion of vibrating matter or energy in earlier chapters, the ability to be grounded in the workings of the world on a physical level is a slow vibration, resonating stability, certainty, and physical strength. It is the foundation of our identity. To be grounded translates loosely into a feeling of being “with it” or “in tune” as it relates to a physical reality of performing tasks and engaging in activities. It encompasses a harmonious network of thinking, feeling, and sensing, revolving around being present in the physical world. When we acknowledge our physical form, our awareness of the surrounding environment is enhanced, making for fewer accidents and inefficiencies and, as a result, our life feels full and under control.

This energy provides much of the framework on which the rest of our energy system is built. It could be compared to laying the physical foundation for the “house” of our energy and who we are. Without a firm foundation and established layers of trust, security, and safety, we can easily crumble when our other faster-moving vibrations are affected. As you will read later, the slow, grounded vibration is the “mother” of other vibrations carried within us to sustain our personal power (solar plexus chakra) and to express ourselves with the assistance of personal and Divine will (throat chakra).
