Читать книгу Journey to Creating Harmony Within - Heather McCabe - Страница 6

For those of you who are new to the chakra system, the root chakra is the first chakra of the major seven chakras. Chakras are energy points that run up the centre of our bodies helping to keep us grounded and balanced. When these are out of balance, illnesses and unexplained emotions can occur.

This book is written about my spiritual journey relating to the chakra points. The root is associated to the beginning, the foundations, grounded-ness, survival instincts, vitality and strength and connection to the earth. The root chakra is based at the very bottom of your spine.

So with this in mind, it seemed a good place to start. So we begin.

Like everything in life, there needs to be good foundations. Once you start on a spiritual and holistic journey, a good place to start is with balancing the chakras and balancing your energy. By doing so, you are giving yourself a good foundation to work from.

When you begin to open up to spirit, it’s always a good idea to start the day by grounding yourself. By grounding yourself, you set yourself up for the day feeling calm and centred. This is a simple exercise to do in the morning time. Closing your eyes, taking three deep breaths right down to your abdomen and visualising roots coming out of your feet, down into the soil into mother earth, giving you a solid connection and strength is a good foundation to start the day. When you are not grounded, you may find that you have a spaced out kind of feeling and daydream a lot, which is ok to be in sometimes however if you are in this state too often, it’s hard to differentiate between spirit and the ego.

Protection is the other visualisation to when you are grounding. The best way to do this is to imagine Archangel Michael’s wings embracing you and to ask in your mind for Michael to protect you throughout the day and to keep you safe and protected in his wings. Archangel Michael is the protector and defends people. Michael means “who is like god”. Some people like to imagine a blue light around them too.

These visualisations are to fix the intent of grounding and protecting - it’s the fixing of the intent that’s the most important. Intent is powerful and one of the spiritual laws.

When we balance the chakra energy it helps to provide clarity and in doing so, it allows the spiritual work and inner healing to begin. Having the chakras in balance is important but does not mean that they are cleared at this time as it can take a period of time to bring back the full harmony especially if emotions have built up over a period of time.

It is now putting this together that has made me realise how far I have come on my journey and what has been interesting is the synchronicities that are occurring, reminding me of my progress in teaching what I have learned and the importance of having good foundations - precisely what the root chakra is about.
