Thank you Holli 🙂 I’ll look forward to doing the mandalas – and try to de-couple from my sometimes over-analytical brain 🙂 Perhaps it will bring out some of those links that my mind isn’t quite making yet. Thanks for looking into the video sound too, I’ll look forward to what seems like it should be a restorative and insightful practice!
Thank you Holli – I’m grateful for your reply. I’m curious as to whether or how the sacral chakra is involved in that flow between the muladhara and manpiura – as what you say about a blocked flow there feels right to me.
I’ll keep working on being in this body – it has been interesting to see which analogies seem to help me and which I struggle with. Belonging and growing roots are things I’m finding I come up with physical/emotional walls against – but living in my legs seems to resonate. I’ll keep exploring 🙂
Hello Root Chakra folks! I realise this is a little belated, but better late than never. I have found a lot of depth in the practices and journalling so far.
I just wanted to bring up some things in particular about survival. I really struggled with the question about how the earth confirmed the right to your survival, and also how I might confirm it myself. To be honest, my emotional reaction was one of resistance and even anger towards the earth – feeling it has not confirmed my right to existence, and to some extent, push back that I ‘have to’ confirm this for myself, to do all the work myself. I’m still working with that a little, and trying to open to what I’m perhaps not letting myself receive. It would be interesting to hear others’ experience if anyone feels like they want to share.
From a slightly different perspective, the question about my right to survive as an individual also brought up for me some tension with impermanence. I realise that the individual in this case could mean the soul – and we will all have our perspective on that – but it also for me brought up a question over whether we can have the right to survive – the right to try to survive, certainly – but how does a right to survival work in the world of flux and change?
