The 1st (Root) Chakra

When creating our energy healing school 8 years ago, The Awakening Angels School For Healing, Enlightenment and Ascension Mastery, we had so much information that we weren’t sure exactly where we should start, but like all things, there must be a beginning point. After many years of giving workshops, private healing sessions, writing tons of articles and working with literally hundreds of people, we decided that the very first thing that someone going into a healing process needed was to feel safe. And this is one of the main characteristics of the 1st chakra. In our school, we treat the chakras like stepping stones, moving from the lower ones up to the higher ones, much like climbing a ladder. If you don’t have a good, strong foundation, by the time you get up to the top, it’s going to get shaky and there’s always the danger of falling back down. This is how we decided that Level 1 of our school would be all about clearing the energies of the 1st chakra.

Your 1st chakra is located underneath the pelvic bone in the perineum and it energetically spins out and down. It appears clairvoyantly as the colour red and it holds the energy of connection with our tribe and the earth. It is where we relate to the many. As infants, first born into this world, it is our job to connect to the earth, to ground our energy here so we can have our earth experiences. We have the need to survive and to belong, to learn social skills, a sense of heritage and community, loyalty and trust, and honour to our particular tribe (family). From this centre, we seek vitality, abundance, protection and security. If you feel you have all of these things in your life, then you probably don’t have any blockages in this particular chakra. However, each chakra also carries with it wounds that form when the needs of that chakra aren’t met.

First chakra wounds include feelings of fear of separation and abandonment, which is this chakras core wound. It also includes fear of insufficiency (the mind set of lack of abundance and poverty), fear of personal safety, panic, paranoia, isolation, prejudices and negative beliefs about others. During our classes, we concentrate on clearing those negative aspects and wounds from each chakra, which then strengthens the positive characteristics of each one. We do have a level 1 class coming up in May for anyone who is interested. Being willing to go there is a very important step in clearing those blockages that may be holding you back. Until next time.
