Prosperity and abundance circulates through the universe and through all our lives...it's a never ending flow of giving and receiving. Our inner world is formed by our perceptions of the outer world as we all see the world through our reflection of our beliefs, interpretations and associations. These have been formed throughout our lives by our numerous experiences. Our prosperity is really a reflection of our thoughts.
Along with financial wealth, prosperity also encompasses love, friendships, family, health, knowledge and spiritual wealth. But how do you achieve it? One way is to open or balance your Root Chakra which forms our foundation in life.
The Root Chakra (or 1st/Base Chakra as it's commonly reffered) is located at the base of the spine and represents the element earth. It's therefore related to our survival instincts, to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. This chakra is grounded in material reality so it's the center of manifestation. If you're focused on creating business or obtaining material items, the energy to success will come from this chakra. If balanced this chakra can bring about health, prosperity, security, and a dynamic presence!
But what is a Chakra?
The word Chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. Each of these centers correlates to a major area of the body branching out from the spine. In addition, the chakras also correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and much, much more.
How does a Chakra close or get out of Balance?
The closure of a chakra doesn't ordinarily occur in response to a single event; rather it's the repetition of similar events without relief. The first chakra is related to whether you received unconditional love and affection during the first three years of your life. If not and you suspect your Root chakra is out of balance, then follow these tips to balance or open it:
1. Use Colors - Since the element of this Chakra is Earth, stick to earthy colors such as Red, Orange Brown & Black. You can look at the color, wear the color, drink the color and so on.
2. Try Crystals - Red Stones can be used for energy and blood circulation and I would recommend Red Garnet or Red Ruby. Brown and black stones are great for grounding. Black obsidian or Black Onyx would work well.
3. Smell Aromas - If you prefer smells then Aromatherapy is perfect for you. Patchouli is a thick, dark yellowish brown oil with a great grounding effect while Geranium oil (especially Rose) is a light green color and helps balance the hormones.
4. Listen to Music - The corresponding tone and note to the Root chakra is Tone "e" and in red and the Note "c". Let soothing music help you with this Chakra.
