The base/ root chakra: Do You Suffer any of these 3 symptoms of imbalance?
Symptoms of Root Chakra Imbalance
As with all of the Chakras, each one has an effect on your physical body. As each of us is an individual it follows that we will experience each Chakra and its’ energy in our own unique way. You will not necessarily encounter all of these symptoms or illnesses but if the Base or Root Chakra is one of the weaker energy areas of yourself, a friend or family member then you may notice some of the following;
1. Problems with your Blood Pressure
High Blood pressure (Hypertension) - this obviously signifies that despite whatever outward signals you may be showing, inwardly your body is finding it very hard to relax – even whilst resting. Something inside you is still on ‘the lookout’ for some reason your inner self cannot let go and relax, pressure is building up.
Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension) – Our blood is the stream carrying our life force in this world, a low blood pressure reading may indicate a time in your life when you are not able or willing to apply yourself and your energy to life and living fully. This is not to suggest this is the cause of your symptom but it can certainly accompany it.
(As with just about all of the physical symptoms you will discover a psycho – spiritual current that flows with it – many people believe that left long enough these can cause or contribute to the presenting illness. I do believe that we are the sum of our thoughts – regardless of whether we consciously know that or not. There is mounting evidence and countless discussions regarding this and I will certainly discuss this more in later posts. But here, I will try and stick to the physical symptoms).
2. Crohn’s Disease
This is an inflammatory bowel disease, although the specific cause may not be clear there are thought to be possible triggers – immune system imbalances and allergies or intolerances to foods.
On the psycho spiritual level there is often a ‘need to get things right’ attitude about the person. They may be perfectionists, quite goal focused and determined. Usually there is less focus on enjoyment rather than achieving.
3. Constipation
This can often be related to people and issues of control. Whether that be control of the body or of extreme control of the emotions. Trying to ‘keep things in – under control, again there may be a strong element of perfectionism or they may be trying to control things by keeping the peace – so that the people and situations around them may not be annoyed or affected.
There is a common theme here – the Root Chakra deals with our elimination processes – letting go of the things we no longer need – not just on the physical level, but on every level. Trying to stop the natural flow for whatever good intentions or purposes usually results in a blockage.
The Base Chakra is about acknowledging and accepting our basic needs and wants, getting what we need and then letting go. It encompasses your need to feel safe and secure. No matter how you may try and rationalize things and present an outward calm image to the world, if that is not how you truly feel inside then your body and energy will show the tell tale signs.
