Muladhara

Apparently, mine is blocked, hence my back problems. Sciatica, bowel issues, hip pain, core strength problems, all related to the root chakra.
Last night, I was stretching, doing excercises, and meditating on how to release the tension in this area. At one point, I flashed on being back at 2837, in the spare room, it was hot up there, sunny, and I started to laugh. I couldn't stop. I realized, as difficult as its been lately, I am sooooo thankful that my life is where it is compared to where it was then.
Having read some about chakras, I am definitely interested in learning more, and incorporating the wisdom into my life.

"Survival consciousness is the primary state of the infant, and if this phase of life is properly taken care of, it should not be a recurrent issue later in life. Children who are abandoned, separated from their mothers at birth (such as incubator babies), physically abused, or suffering from severe childhood illnesses will be more likely to have first chakra problems throughout their lives."

More on this as I develop a greater awareness of my body/spirit connection.
