The Root Chakra:

The Body. Groundedness. Stability. Physicality. Reality. Security. Tangibility. Beingness. 

The Root chakra is the most important chakra in this entire program. When you activate a chakra, you’re letting in more of that chakra's energy, more of that experiential operating level into your experience. The Root chakra allows you to ground this information into your body. To integrate it. To make it a part of you.

Without grounding the information into your body, into your Root, you won’t be making any progress. Sure, you’ll always feel the initial effects of the open and activated chakras. Sure. You will every time. But you won’t be integrating that information and allowing yourself to go deeper into those energies or functionalities. You won’t be building upon the initial effects. If you aren’t consistently grounding these energies into your Root, into your body, then you won’t have the energetic capacity it takes to be able to sustain the higher chakra energies and functionalities. 

[[Working with the chakras, especially above the fifth chakra, without a grounding practice can cause an un-grounded-ness so severe that you may experience a deep lack of motivation, extreme levels of anxiety, a fleeting sense of safety or even Insomnia.]]

When someone lifts weights to gain muscle, they require protein in order to complete that process. Without adequate protein, the muscles become fatigued and are unable to repair the microtears caused by the exercise, leading to performance plateaus. I’ve found that doing this work without consistent root chakra activation creates a similar limitation, hindering growth by leaving the foundation unsupported. What we’re doing with this work is bringing as much higher-level energy back down into the body as possible. 

To ground it, to grow with it, to integrate it, to solidify it. 

In my opinion, the most effective way to ground while using this program is through light physical exercise 3-4 times a week(Suggested. NOT Required), spending time barefoot on naked, natural ground, utilizing a grounding mat, listening to 396hz frequency and maintaining a clean living space (Because the root level isn’t limited to the body. It includes your environment as well).

Examples of grounding routines:

• Light calisthenics 3-4 times a week. (Suggested; NOT Required)

• “Earthing” (bare feet on the bare ground) for 30 minutes every other day.

• Maintaining a clean living space (Tidying up, throwing away trash, organizing your space, doing the dishes, vacuuming, sweeping, wiping down counter tops, etc.)

• Listening to 396hz frequency tones online for an hour every day.

• Utilizing a grounding mat that plugs into the wall (You can buy grounding mats online). If a grounding mat is your only way to ground, I suggest using a grounding pad that you can place over your bed sheets at night while you sleep.

Suggested Exercise Routine:

Stretch

Warm up (Extremely important. Especially if you have high or low blood pressure. Exercise without a slow and gradual warm up period can be dangerous. With high blood pressure, there’s a genuine risk of heart attack or stroke. With low blood pressure, you run the risk of light headedness, dizziness, or even fainting): Leisure walk to Power walk (15 to 20 minutes), Low resistance bike ride to higher resistance bike ride (10 to 20 minutes).

Push ups: Four rounds of 5-10 Push Ups

Crunches: Four rounds of 10-15 crunches

Squats: Four rounds of 5-10 Squats

Calf raises: Four rounds of 10-20 Calf raises

Cool Down: Stretch.
