Paint the town red : Root Chakra

-
The first chakra called root chakra or base chakra is located at the very base of spine very much at our groin area. Root chakra is called ' Muladhara' in sanskrit which literally means base support
Root chakra opens downward connecting the energy body to the earth.
We know that all chakras spin at a rate. The one at the base spins at slowest rate

It is deep red in colour almost like a beautiful shade of ruby.The deep red colour signifies passion or strength. A well balanced root chakra is sparkling red in colour whereas an imbalanced chakra is muddy red

Root chakra is concerned with the issues of survival and physical security and is affected by feelings of
1) Money and Finance
2) Job ,Business and Career
3) Buying Property 
4) Materialistic possesions
5) Physical security 

In short it is to do with thoughts about' Roti, Kapda aur Makaan'
It helps us get grounded

Body Parts governed by this chakra
Legs, feet, bladder, kidney, lower back and Spine

 Physical health issues:
Problem with this chakra can cause health issues relating to the ankles, knees, feet, calves.
An imbalanced root chakra can also result in constipation, haemerroids(piles/fissures)

 Mental and emotional issues
The basic problem if this chakra is imbalanced can be insecurity- the basic fear of failure or not being able to survive in this competitive world.It affects confidence in people.

 All fears relating to survival cause a shrunken root chakra , whereas obsessions about money wealth possesions cause extremely large root chakra.A healthy root chakra must be right in size and colour ie : not too shrunk not too large and a clean ruby red in colour

 Deities and Angels governing this Chakra:

 According to ancient Hinduism, Lord Ganesha governs this chakra.In the Ganapati Atharvashirsha(A Prayer to the elephant headed god Ganesh) it is mentioned as " Muladharo sthitosi nityam" which means Oh dear lord who always resides at the muladhara chakra in the body

 Archangel Sandalphon is associated with this chakra, who acts as a messenger to God

3) Reiki / Energy healing 
4) Hug a tree, it helps us get grounded

6) Yoga and pilates can be very useful to heal this chakra.Some useful posed could be parvatasana(mountain pose) and Veerbhadra asan( the warrior pose).Surya namaskars in general is very good for all chakras balancing

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional ...

Breaking Free: 7 Things I Stopped Doing as a Former People Pleaser

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to lose ourselves in the art of people-pleasing, seeking validation and approval from those around us. Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin...
