The root chakra, also known as Muladhara is the first of the 7 chakras and is located around the lower portion of the body(legs, feet ankles etc). The color associated with this chakra is red and the sense that is most involved is smell. The root chakra is related to the fight or flight response. In other words, when we feel that we are in great danger, our survival instincts will begin to show us a way out of trouble. It is also related to our relationship with money, home, relationships and trust of others. When this chakra is healthy, we are well grounded and we are fully present, not worrying about the past or future. Therefore, this chakra greatly relates to the earth or mother nature(if it is healthy you will also notice the relationship between you and your own mother get better).
Recently i have been experiencing a little pain on one of my toes on my right foot. I tend to look at this symptom as my body releasing toxings from my root chakra because it usually happens right after i finish a weekly jog. It is not a year long disease but something that comes for a week and goes away. Since running is a form of meditation it will have a healing effect on all chakras anyway. Me and my mother have always been close but recently we have been goin to the gym together. Also, over the summer we went to the nationl zoo together, so I feel my connection with nature and my mother improving. Issues do however come up every now and then, such as car issues and getting enough money to pay for the damage. Sometimes I still notice my fear of certain animals such as bees as well. This just shows you that Healing each chakras is a never ending process.
