It's not going to be our way all the time. What happens has a reason and a time, and that is generally experienced through pain and pleasure. Life by itself is like walking into a fair—chaos everywhere, yet smiles too. Candies and clowns, all meant for joy. Then we run into a roller-coaster, jump into the seat, and wait for the wheel to rotate, knowing that there will be moments of fear and anxiety. We all have those moments—an unknown fear, a feeling of restless anxiety, troubled sleep. We definitely cannot erase it, but we can address it. I would say that begins with 'Lam'—the activation of the root chakra called Muladhara. Ancient Wisdom Speaks.
The scarlet red chakra
whispers—'I am Safe!' Located at the base of the tailbone, it signifies the
element earth, governed by survival, physical identity, security, and trust. I
would replace the word survival with being grounded—rooted in who we truly are,
trusting our own abilities, and building that trust within ourselves rather
than seeking emotional dependence on others. The ancient wisdom links this
first root chakra, the Muladhara, as the starting point for spiritual ascent,
making it essential for grounding.
Indian ancient wisdom fascinates
me, and I often practice it. This technique takes just a few minutes to begin,
though its deeper benefits unfold over time with dedication. Activating it
involves simple methods: visualizing a bright red flower unfolding its petals
and radiating light throughout your being. To deepen the experience, we can
chant—Lam! The vibration resonates through the body, anchoring us to the earth
beneath our feet. Each practice becomes a conversation with our deepest self, a
reminder that we carry within us the strength to weather any storm.
When anxiety creeps in and the
world feels unstable, this simple practice becomes our refuge. It teaches us
that being grounded doesn't mean being unmoved—it means being rooted deeply
enough to sway with the wind without breaking.
A serene and meaningful reflection on Muladhara. The emphasis on inner trust and grounding rather than fear-based survival is very insightful.
