Relational Energy Healing

The First Chakra

Posted on 08. Feb, 2010 by Dean Ramsden in Healing Skills

The health and development of Muladhara chakra is vitally important in its function of rooting us deeply down into the primary mother: the Earth. When, as energy healer, I clear and enhance the chakra cords emerging from Muladhara chakra, it is with the intention to power up the energy consciousness system as a whole, as well as to improve the client’s relationship to our living home: Gaia.

When root chakra cords are weakly or reluctantly attached to the living planet we will feel like orphans; that we don’t belong here, that we are bereft of hope, or support. These chakra cords provide an essential connection to the natural world. Mother Earth is the base note, the fundamental beat, of our physical manifestation. Without her maternal support we cannot grow up strong; we dare not take on the risk to become fully potent, passionately alive. And without such aliveness, we will never develop into our full potential: as fully embodied creative and spiritual beings.

Our animal body is the link between Earth and Spirit, and is the launching pad for our wings of divine desire. Our sensual nature urges us to fly, to feast, to hunt, to survive… and to fully immerse ourselves in the Divine creation. And then, from the depths of matter, we begin to awaken.

Our personal development in Muladhara requires both roots (to Mother Earth) and wings (basic trust in exploring the living world). Poet Mary Oliver points the way for us, in her marvelous poem Wild Geese,

You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body love
 what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile, the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across landscapes,

over the prairies and deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

- Wild Geese, from Dream Work (1986) by Mary Oliver.
