I have nothing witty to start out with, so let's just cut to the chase. Today's meditation was about brightening the light of your Root Chakra. As I mentioned in a previous blog, the Root Chakra is located at the base of your spine and is the first of the seven chakra's and the place where grounding begins.
In the previous blog I spoke about how that meditation was about grounding and balancing, so we won't cover that again. Instead let's chat a bit about what the Root Chakra is. Red in color, this chakra is the where balance begins.
When this chakra is grounded and balanced, you are in control of every aspect of your life. Unbalanced it can lead to stubbornness, aggressiveness and fear. Now, don't you think it is worth it to take five minutes of your day, maybe ten or fifteen, to just breathe in the wonders of life and exhale your fears. You might think that it is easier said than done, but honestly, I don't feel that it is.
I have been on an almost seven month spiritual journey that has lead me to look deep within and pull out those nasty weeds that were embedded so deep, that I forgot that they were there. I have had emotional struggles, I have cried and I have cheered on my victories and now I am in a place where meditating is coming to me a little more easily. I think it will take some time before I naturally incorporate it into my life, but that is what this challenge is about...making meditating a habit.
This may not be the route for everyone, but it is the one that works for me. My goal is to share my thoughts and let others do with it as they choose.
Exercise for the Root Chakra* - Breathe in to the count of five, inhaling positive energy and thoughts, then exhaling, to the count of eight, the negative energy and thoughts. Do this three times, or until your thoughts are clear, then breathe naturally. With each breath, imagine that you are breathing life into that red wheel that is the Root Chakra until you can feel it glowing brightly. Do this meditation whenever you feel the need to ground yourself.
In my life, fear has stemmed from failure. Or to put it plainly, if I don't do it, I can't fail, but as I mentioned several posts ago, Fail is not a bad word, it is a rung on a ladder to success and you are in charge of your own destiny. Nothing is coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad. I have had my trials in my life and they left me shaken emotionally for years, but one day I finally admitted to myself that I deserve to be happy and that is exactly what I am going to be.
I am going to have my good days, I am going to have my better days, I am going to have great days, but I am going to strive for understanding of all situations and do my best to not have bad days. Those send me to a place I no longer want to exist in, so even if your day is not great, remember, you are alive, there are people out there that love you and will give you their shoulder to lean on and that will hopefully help you to see that it's not such a bad day after all, you just simply hit a bump in the road.
For what is is worth, I write many of these things to try to help me too, so you are not alone on this journey, I am right there with you, experiencing life as it happens to me, as I try not to live in the past, or in my future, but in this moment right now.
Until tomorrow...Spin that red wheel brightly. Release your fears and live your dreams.
