Chakra 1: Manifesting

Get ready to lay the ground work as we begin to discover chakra 1.  Located in the very base of the spine; this is our grounding chakra. We associate this chakra area with the colour red.  what arises in the base chakra is our instincts for survival and security.  The essence of who we are shapes itself here.  Our familiy, our parents, childhood friends and past childhood experiences have all developed into how we fundamentally see ourselves in Chakra 1.  

Ask yourseld who am I?  How did this person come to be as you are today.  What are your roots?

Chakra 1 is an earth quality chakra meaning all our experiences here are very physical.  They are part of our physical boody and "here on earth" experiences. In this space of energy we start to materialize what is is that we want.  We can see it and touch it in form. Chakra 1 is an embodiment of our physical selves and our physical reality.  

The primal thought pattern that we focus on is "I have" this affirmation of I have begins to draw the line between the things we own and the things we want and we start to develop the self worth syndrome:  I don't have enough, I don't have anything good, I'm not worth good things, I can't afford things, Mine is not as good as yours, on the flip side we can over activate chakra 1 and build our foundations on material wealth and ground ourselves in this physical space. Claiming that we are better than everyone else because our car is better, our house is bigger, our jobs pay more... but this will eventually lead to an empty, unfullfilled life.  How do we use Chakra 1 to begin the journey of abundance?

First dig into your roots.  where did you come from? What are your values? Do  they align with what you are asking for?  Do you believe you are worth abundance?  Take the time here and begin the groundwork.
