Another way to view being grounded is to think of having a root or an anchor attached to the bottom of your feet. The human body is symbolically designed as a starlike structure. The two lower spokes, the legs, ending in the feet, make physical contact with the Earth. The two upper spokes, the arms, reach in the opposite direction of the heavens. Putting them together, we contain the balance of Earth and heaven within our structure.

It is important for us to feel and connect with our pelvic shell, harboring our sacrum and our reproductive organs (men), as well as with the long stretch of legs and feet. For most people, the feet are the only part of us that physically contacts the Earth for a majority of the day—a fraction of the expanse of our body! Through our feet, we can transmit the Earth's slow, steady vibration upward into our structure, allowing it to nourish us and to enable us to be comfortable with being Earthbound.

On a larger, more cosmic scale, ancestral energies live within the dense root chakra vibration. Cultures like those that are Shamanic in origin hold tight to their traditions and lineage. As a result, they are closely tied to the root chakra energy. If we choose to look very deeply at our origins, we will find that every single past event creates our being. We are the cumulative sum of our ancestral and individual energies, spiraling together, forming the matrix of our outer body shell. Our bodies are testament to this memory. We reflect who we have been and who we have chosen to be by our selection into our tribe. Every moment of our personal history has been perfectly crafted. The memory of the past is found within every cell in the human body, encased within the strands of DNA. So, when we hear the phrase, “It's in your genes,” we are really talking about our connection to ancient cellular memory. This vibration carries with it the foundations of physical life and needs of survival, including core issues relating to family, food, shelter, sexuality, safety, and trust. There is no doubt that we are wired for survival.
