A fundamental tenet of traditional Indian philosophy and spirituality holds that unblocking one’s chakras, of which there are seven, leads to the highest level of existence. Each chakra is linked to a specific area of the body and the energies and functions associated with that part of the body. In cleansing or unblocking all seven chakras, one reaches toward a state of spiritual and physical perfection.
Most yoga practitioners have been exposed to the idea of chakras and the notion that a cleansed or unblocked chakra opens a door to let the energies associated with the chakra flow freely. Of all the chakras, the muladhara or root chakra, located at the base of the spine, is by far the most powerful. And it is the root chakra that’s said to be the seat of all sexual energy and thus most closely associated with sexual function in both men and women.
6 Tips for Cleansing Your Root Chakra
In an article posted at MindBodyGreen.com, yoga instructor Jennifer White offers these suggestions for cleansing and balancing your root chakra.
1. In your meditations, envision the color red glowing brightly at the base of your spine, the location of your root chakra.
2. Dance, even if you’re no good at it. Simply move your body, ideally to the sound of music. Lose yourself in the physical movements of the dance.
3. Strike a pose on your yoga mat. One of White’s favorites is the tree pose.
4. Take a shower. “Embrace and love your physicality by being completely present as you bathe,” White suggests.
5. Take a walk to reconnect with nature.
6. Treat yourself to a pedicure. White’s grandfather had a friend who said, “You can always tell how well a person takes care of themselves by how they take care of their feet.”
