The Root Chakra- Some key words

The Root Chakra - some keywords

This is in no way intended to be an all inclusive list . Herbs may affect you in ways based on your current health that will require you to do further investigation, see an herbalist, or a doctor . This is not intended to substitute medical advice . Some herbs or essential oils can be harmful to animals / pets and may be inappropriate to use in some ways for humans ( some are not topical etc. ) . Please, check the safety for any companion animals you have around you and yourself before using. 

* While some people have claimed animal products such as meat are required for them to ground many including myself disagree. There is a significant difference between grounding and lowering your vibration. Consuming  animal products lowers your vibration not grounds you .  


The Root Chakra

The root chakra points downward . It connects us to the Earth . It is no mistake it is called the root chakra. Stability is related to this chakra in all it's respects . Tribal ties , connections, and links are connected to the root chakra.

 Every human's childhood has resulted in damage to the root chakra. It is where we are currently at in human evolution. No one escapes it thus, we all require root chakra healing in our lives for it's health , our health.

 I do not feel this chakra should be overlooked .

Vibrational Corresponding List

 Tribal Healing
Support
Matter - Relationship to matter . Material (items , possessions ) , consumption
Organic ( I think decaf is best for grounding because , of the absence of the jitters ;)  coffee
Earthy Herbal teas
Drums
Red, mahogany, brown and black
RAM
Tree Root meditation
Foot chakra exploration
Sole ( Of foot)  to earth contact
De-cluttering, cleaning of ones environments , Space Clearing, and feng shui

Trees  ( Can be used as teas , supplements, salves, massage oils, meditated with etc. ) such as white willow bark powder for headaches and pain, that may be occurring . White willow bark has long been used in this matter and is where asprin originated from .

A certain amount of mindful research and exploration is required for you to line up with the tools currently most suited to your journey everyone is different .

Natural environments

• Additional scents and tastes :

Cloves - http://www.angelfire.com/magic2/everyday00/cloves.html
Earthy scents &
Wood scents such as Cedarwood, Pine, Frankensence, Myrrh,
Bergamont ( Although that's often said to be better for the Sacral chakra ) etc.
Sage
Garlic
Onion


Many people also, find tubers and root vegetables such as potatoes, yams, and cassava ( what tapiocca is made of ) , Horseradish root and many more are helpful for them as well .

• Stones and Crystals

All stones of Earth can be grounding such as those found on the ground or river . I think a stone or better yet two , from around the place you were born , one for each of your feet is especially great .

Fire opal - http://meanings.crystalsandjewelry.com/fire-opal
Lava AKA Pumice stone- ( Particularly the black lava rocks ) http://www.energy-healing-info.com/metaphysical-properties-of-stones.html
Jet http://meanings.crystalsandjewelry.com/jet
Black Onyx ( You get the idea there are lots of articles on the metaphysical, magical, and healing properties of gemstones out there. )

Orgasmic, Sweet, Hydrating, Healthy Drink - with yellow watermelon,peach, aloe, & coconut juice !

This is a delicious simple hydrating drink . I called it the orgasm I made in my blender. Yes, I found it that good . I hope you enjoy it if you make it !

Yellow watermelon chunks, coconut juice , peach get blended in a blender . Aloe gets added later. Be extremely careful cutting aloe . It is extremely slippery . I do not recommend this for amateur choppers ! Just leave it out if you can't find a pro or a proper knife for the task , 

This is a photo of an aloe leaf the way I cut it is to leaving the skin on slice it than chunk it all than start peeling . Again , put the knife down and wipe and wash as needed if it becomes the slightest bit slippery !

I love aloe it is hydrating and good for the skin and total body .

-These are delicious with frank's original red hot hot sauce , some diaya cheese melted ( a delicious vegan cheese when melted ) , I guess if you are one who eats ketchup on potatoes you might like that .

Serenity

You know that feeling at a beach , where you are engulfed with the sensations of peacefulness and enjoyment of your surroundings? When like magic your worries and cares are lifted from you and you melt into the comfort of the moments ? There's a reminder of what's easy , natural, effortless, and enough as it is ! It doesn't have to be at the beach of course it can occur anywhere in nature as well as inside us , in our visualizing , in a bath , with a cup of de-caffienated tea , by a fire , etc.
 Well, this is my experience of serenity put into words as best as I can as of now and it is a state that I think is not only pleasant but, one that is common in a world outside of the large artificial matrix human lifestyles can largely involve , one that is natural for us to feel regularly and often.
 The artificial constructs and excesses of cultures limit some of our experiences of it to an extreme level and this is a contributor to the health imbalances , discomfort, delusion , disharmony , and dis-eases in our populations and the world .
