“Since thou hast planted the sapling, give it water. Since thou hast given it freedom (to grow), untie the knots.” - Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī
I restore, replenish, and partake in the productive act of rest.
The Root energy wheel is where life force energy enters the base of our spine, through the core of the body, releases from the Soul Star energy wheel, and travels along the invisible lines in our electromagnetic field.
Yogic systems stress the importance of stabilizing the root chakra because of its gatekeeping functions with lifeforce energy moving — not just up our spine but through the core of our energy field and then descending and decompressing. Stability in the Root energy wheel can determine quality of life, because the rise of lifeforce and its decompression can take as long as 10 years.
Lifeforce energy shines a light on the shadows closest to our spine. The most subconscious wounds live there, manifesting rushes of emotions, confusion, delusions, phantom symptoms in the body, and periods of bliss soon after the energy has risen. Without a stable Root it can be hard to determine reality from fantasy and delusions.
A stable Root supports the maintenance of lifeforce energy and helps the body distinguish safety from overwhelm.
The moon beams this month target the base of the spine, nurturing roots birthed from the pelvic floor and amplifying the need for stability.
Genuine visioning happens from the roots up. For many, the roots are shriveled by unacknowledged grief. Restorative grounding practices in this season can help communicate safety to our bodies so we can build capacity for what we have for too long pushed to the side. Resting or stillness is not just about inaction, but about staying in touch with confusion and pain as we act with mindfulness.
A stable Root needs energetic hygiene. If we want to regulate and manifest each kundalini rising to be more blissful, we have to tune and ground into cycles and rhythms of the Earth.
Mindfulness and daily habits that feed us lifeforce energy are often a requirement of the body to feel ultimately safe with its operator.
The grounding practices suggested in the Crown cycle, Divine Masculine moon season, and Soul Star cycle help stabilize the Root energy wheel, allowing for a stable connection from root to flower.
