The root chakra forms our earliest relationship with feeling safe, governing survival programming developed from the womb through our first year of life. We explore how parental relationships, birth experiences, and early care create either trust or mistrust in the world around us.• Located at the base of spine, the first chakra (muladhara) represents stability, survival, and our right to exist• Early experiences shape whether we trust or mistrust the world, creating our psychological foundation• The uterus becomes our first experience of body and home, with maternal emotions affecting our development• Fear becomes the dominant "demon" of an imbalanced root chakra• Birth trauma, adoption, physical neglect, and family instability can all cause root chakra disruption• Physical approaches work well for healing pre-verbal chakra issues: massage, exercise, dance, and meditation• Affirmations like "I have the right to be here" help reprogram subconscious safety beliefs• Key questions to consider: Who provided for your survival? Do you feel you have the right to exist?Email me at [email protected] or click the text link on Spotify if you have any first chakra questions you'd like answered this week.Resources for further first chakra exploration: Episode 46 - Mirror, Mirror: When You Don't Like What You SeeEpisode 45 - Control: The Illusion of SafetyEpisode 44 - Fear: The Root of Instability Episode 43: Introduction to the ChakrasEpisode 7: Heart Based MeditationEpisode 14: Physical Self CareEpisode 8: AbhyangaThe Chakras by  C.
