Hello Beautiful Person!  Welcome back to healing your grief two minutes at a time. This week, we are embarking on a seven week series:  Healing our grief through the chakras. Our chakras are energy centers that run from the base of our spine to the crown of our head. So we are going to go in depth, each week, on a multitude of tools that you can use to heal that energy center during this time of grief.  We are going to start with our first chakra- which is the root chakra- and that is located at the base of spine and in that chakra are the concerns of all of our basic concerns of life- security, housing, if we are going to be able to pay the bills- all of our survival needs.  The color associated with that chakra is red.  You can wear red, wear a red shirt, You can wear red socks, wear red jewelry, sleep in red.  Do as much as you can if you are finding that you are feeling those fears, and of course, I think anyone losing anyone, there’s a fear of your own safety.  It really brings about the impermanence of life for us and that is a really hard process for us to move through.  Depending on the loss that you’ve encountered, it could be a fear of how you’re going to pay your bills or where you’re going to live.  If you find yourself feeling these fears, throw on a red shirt, throw on some red socks.  See if that helps.  You can also take your socks off if you don’t have red socks and walk bare-footed in your house or, even better, outside in dirt and really try to ground yourself to the Earth and ground yourself to know that everything really is going to be ok.

FOOD: Food for the week: Anything that is grown in the ground.  What we are trying to do with our root chakra is to really ground ourselves.  So anything grown in the ground which would be: potatoes or parsnips, garlic or sweet potatoes- anything that’s got that dirt you gotta wash off of it- that’s the food for you this week. In addition to that, anything red- cherries, tomatoes, bell peppers- anything that is red, as well, really invigorates that energy and will just help you feel a little more secure.

ESSENTIAL OILS:  We are going to talk, in a few more weeks, in depth about essential oils but they can be incredibly helpful  if you diffuse them or if you take a bath in them.  Lavender is very helpful, chamomile is very helpful and rose is very helpful with your grounding process.

SOUND: A mantra for this energy center is LAM. So your root chakra mantra is LAM. If you want to sit there for two minutes and just be quiet and close  your eyes and say,”  LAM, LAM, LAM” It will really begin to invigorate and ground that energy center.

FENG SHUI FOR THE ROOT CHAKRA: This is my favorite, I think. Check all of your locks. Make sure that all of your windows are working and functional and lock as well as your front door, back door.  Make all of those locks functional.  Part of it is safety and fear.  So let’s take a moment to eradicate that fear.  Get rid of any old food you have in the house.  Freshen it up.  Bring in that good energy and provide for your survival. Great food is going to make you feel better, feed you better and strengthen you.

FIVE SENSES: The sense that is associated with the root chakra is your smell sense. So choose a candle or essential oil or any sort of aroma that feels woodsy.  Cedarwood is a great example of this.  Burn your favorite candle, or incense, or essential oil.

YOGA: Finally, if you want to do some yoga for your root chakra, do the tree pose.  Ground yourself into the ground.  Be the tree that you are.   You are not going to fall over.  You may sway in the wind but you are strong and will move through this grief and it will be ok.

So enjoy your red this week. I can not wait to hear the comments down below.  Subscribe to my channel and I hope you have a wonderful week.  Take Care.
