Do you feel confident, safe, and secure?  If not, it could be your base chakra.  When your base chakra is balanced and you are grounded in your physical body, you feel confident, and secure.  Our bodies are like an antenna.  If we receive too much energy from our crown chakra, it can throw us off balance.  Being grounded is like a steady hand.  It’s your connection to the energy of the Earth.  As long as we’re grounded, excess energy from within the body, has a safe place to go.  The Earth absorbs this excess energy like a sponge, and loves it!  If we are not grounded, our base chakra gets all “out of whack”, and none of the other chakras will work correctly.   When you are grounded, you feel the Universal flow of comfort and love.

Where the Hip-A-rooKnee is It?

Just shake your Bum Bum, Zumba® style! Lol  The Base chakra is in the tailbone area at the base of the spine.  It is also located at the perineum and has very potent energy lol.  Look at a beautiful body, then, go down…  The base chakra governs the adrenal gland,  kidneys, hips, feet, legs. tailbone (coccyx), genitals, Ur-Anus lmao.

Imbalanced:

Base Chakra governs the “I AM” principle.  The grounding force in our body.

Feel anxious or arrogant?  These are signs of a base chakra imbalance.  When your life if turned upside down, it is easy to go into “fight or flight” mode.  If you stay in this insecure mode, you either fight or you flee.  Fleeing means uncertainty and confusion.  You doubt your beliefs and deny the reality that you face.  If you fight, watch out for Arrogance.  You become self assured and detach from nature.   Nature is your ground, and without it, emotional imbalance lead to physical Dis-Eease.  You can become chronically exhausted, inactive, and depressed.

If you have these signs, don’t PANIC.  Simply stomp your quickly to your nearest tree lol… Then give it a  BIG HUG.  Hugs are ALWAYS free lol.

Healing:

If you want to heal, root chakra healing is a lot simpler than a day in the ER lol.  If you don’t feel confident, safe, and secure, it’s time to do some root chakra healing.  If you are having problems with your basic needs, it’s hard to feel safe and secure.  BUT, just by feeling the emotion of being safe and secure, you have the power to change your energy.  “Miracles” begin to happen in your life.  Before you know it, those feelings manifest into reality.

Grounding can seem like a complex task.  But grounding is actually simple. Stomp your bare feet on the ground or go for a walk.  These are simple ways to feel more grounded in no time.   Nature heals, and if you don’t believe me…  Take a hike, no seriously, take a hike lol.
