http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=245x83202This week's healing focus is the Root Chakra, related minor chakras, and the first 7 years of life. It might be a bit ambitious to combine these but I feel it is urgent for as many as possible to bring healing to these areas. I felt adding the first seven years of life suitable in part as I have read that some consider each chakra to govern each stage of life in seven year periods. Add to this that psychologically so many of our present day reactions to events in life are based on experiences in our earliest years at least when it comes to the root chakra maybe this is true. In any case I intend to have a go at all of the above and see what healing can be brought about with our group effort! :bounce:
The Root Chakra is vital for grounding and connecting to the earth plane during incarnation. It governs primal issues, the knee-jerk reactions of life like the flight or fight response that occur without concious thought. Safety, food, warmth, freedom from pain - lack any of these as an infant or young child leaves a mark. There will always be at the base of their feeling that the world is an unsafe place. One of my cats who came from a shelter had what I personally call the Scarlet O'Hara Syndrome for the first couple of years after I got her. She would climb right into the bowl and eat and eat and eat until I took it away or held her so the other cats could get their share. The entire time she had a determined look on her face as if thinking "I am going to eat everything I can find even if I explode from it!" She had quickly gone from nearly scawny when I got her to a fuzzy little cannonball in a matter of a few months as at first I figured like most cats she would know when to say when letting the other cats have their share. Thankfully the love from the humans and fellow fuzzballs and Reiki must have helped as she finally stopped trying to overeat and her weight went back to a healthy range.
I am much more of a reader than a writer so I will stop my sad attempts to flesh out the details of the root chakra, post some links below and just get to the sending part!
It is not necessary to visulize each and every energy center when sending. You can try if you like or try what I like to do. Focus a few breaths on each with the intention that the energy will continue to flow as you add in the other healing goals. I like working from the bottom up but the best method is the one that suits each of you best so work this the way that feels best to you :) Here is a nice graphic showing many of the minor energy centers. Use this to help you focus if you like or just intend the energy to go to the feet, ankles, knees, hips and Root Chakras.
