Introducing a NEW Series: Chakras + the Root Chakra

7/27/2015

1 Comment

In many yogic traditions, there are chakras.  These are basically energy centers where our thought & feelings, parts of our physical body, and pure energy all combine. 

These energetic centers serve as a wonderful basis to evaluate the body and use spiritual, alternative medicine, and/or yoga practices to heal our mental and physical conditions.

There are 7 chakras, each connected with certain aspects of our physical body & specific  emotions. From this information, we can  use certain techniques to work to heal imbalanced chakras!

Each Monday, we will post here on the blog about each chakra—discussing it more in depth, in regard to it’s manifestations in the body as well as ways to work to heal it. There will also be a weekly chakra-themed contest that you can participate in to win a free juice! First up...Root  Chakra!

Involves: Stability, satisfaction with life, and confidence
Physical manifestations of imbalance: 
Digestive issues, frequent illness, and lower back, leg, & feet issues
Emotional manifestations of imbalance:  Doubtfulness, anger, anxiety, dependence,  & disorganization/disconnection
Ways to heal this chakra: 
·    Nutrition—earthy, root vegetables, red foods (cabbage, red apples, strawberries), foods that are high in protein
·   Aromatherapy—diffuse ginger, clove, cedar, nutmeg or sandalwood essential oils
·      Healing activities—being in nature, spending time with family (“returning to your roots”), doing this  grounding yoga practice
