The Root Chakra; Our Energetic Umbilical Cord to Mother Earth

Card from; Chakra Insight Oracle by Caryn Sangster

Think of your root chakra as your umbilical cord to Mother Earth, an energetic “cord” that grounds us to this earthly dimension, supporting our feeling of safety, unconsciously knowing we are anchored here as a soul.

When this chakra is energetically blocked or overloaded it creates a feeling of being cut off. The information & wisdom of the earth is not flowing to you, giving you the reassurance & security that you are a soul having a human experience. This healthy connection to our root chakra automatically gives a sense of support, somewhere we can “go” within to rest & feel secure.

What happens when this chakra becomes blocked is we begin to look outside of ourselves to feel safe, supported & connected. Because we “lost” that internal connection to our energetic umbilical cord to Mother Earth.

This metaphorical umbilical cord to the Earth is a lot like the physical umbilical cord connecting us to our mothers in the womb. And just as we lose that sense of connection to our energetic umbilical cord we store this feeling unconsciously at birth when that physical cord is severed & we feel for the first time a disconnect from our earthly mothers. We begin connecting to our mother’s environment inside the womb, we experience feeling & sound, we have already begun our human experience while simultaneously still being connected to our soul. It’s through our energetic connection we receive information through DNA, genetic downloads, ancestral patterns, generational codes merge with our spirit to create a human being.

We are all children of God, it is our birthright to feel supported, comforted & safe. When we “grow up” we don’t necessarily need our mothers & fathers to physically care for us anymore, but as adults we do still need that unconditional connection & support. As adults we’ve already learned from our ancestors to rely on the material world to create physical security. Or to rely on others emotions to dictate our own.

Yet even in the warmest of homes, in the largest of bank accounts is still a feeling of dissatisfaction, of anxiety, of scarcity. Why is this? Because when only using the logical mind you will constantly seek division, lack, judgement & competition. It’s more challenging to focus the mind on unity, abundance, compassion & support to create the feeling of fulfillment. That way even if it were all to be taken away you could still remain at peace, knowing you are an eternal soul protected & supported by the love of God, because He is your eternal Father & the Spirit of Mother Earth is your eternal mother. So even if your mother or father left the home, abandon you or have passed, you always have the internal voice of God who speakers through your heart & emotions & you have the wisdom of the earth whispering to you through your instincts and body.

You must develop a relationship with your internal mother and father, to your intuition & physical body. You must commit to your eternal nature in order to attain the feeling of security & fulfillment that you seek externally. The problem with looking to the outside to provide a sense of security is that at any moment it could be taken from you, because this world is temporary. Creating security within by connecting to your root chakra & tuning into the intelligence of the earth & your emotions generates a feeling without external stimulation.

When we become reliant on possessions like a home or a bed to make us feel comfortable & relaxed we become dependent on a temporary pleasure. I am not saying to give these things up, but I am asking you to check in with yourself to see how often you rely on an outside source to generate any sort of feeling of security or comfort.

What we’ve become accustomed to we begin to take for granted, we become dependent on its presence in our life to bring us a sense of familiarity so that we can ease the survival part of our reptilian mind.

In a conscious state of awareness we step out of the subconscious & survival based mind & we move into a state of Oneness with the environment around us. In the conscious mind we feel in control of our environment, not because of manipulation & control of anything, but because we are generating the feeling of acceptance & peace.

When conscious we must accept the present moment for what it is without it disrupting our inner peace. We must not allow our ego & emotions to dictate our actions. We must learn to observe & acknowledge our emotional & mental reactions without identifying with them as who we are.

When we feel at peace with who we are we feel at peace no matter where we are or what we have or what we may lack. When at peace with yourself there is no more enemy, no more lack & you feel safe & supported again, just as you did in your mothers womb.

When we struggle to trust ourselves we struggle to make decisions for ourselves & we give our power away. Having confidence in your connection with your own spirit, your own emotions & wisdom is what creates the experience of prosperity & freedom.

It’s not about being physically wealthy & non-committed. It’s about feeling abundantly supplied & freedom of mind, until then you will continuously believe you are “lacking” & “stuck” keeping you in an endless loop of helplessness & hopelessness. Return to your internal home & feel supported like a child, because you may “grow up” but never stop believing you are eternally loved by your Conscious Creator & Cosmic Caregiver.
