Root Chakra Basics







Very basically, color therapy involves the sense of vision, but yet your eyes do not need to be open. You can take an image you have seen, maybe like this one, and close your eyes and still see it. That is your IMAGE-ination.

Some people believe they have no imagination, but I want to challenge that person. Have you ever seen the color red (never mind the image here for now)? If you close your eyes, can you imagine the color red, if even for an instant (before your mind wanders)?

This is one way of working and maintaining balance with your chakras, by closing your eyes, taking deep breaths and imagining specific colors placed over or in your body along the specific main chakras.
If you do this, you are meditating! This is energy work you can do in any moment of your life.


This image was made with the intention to help your root chakra, located at the base of your spine. So imagine the color red over the base of your spine coming through to the front of your body. It could be red light, a red lotus, this red image, or whatever you come up with, just get the red there.


Root chakra (Mulhadara) has everything to do with being grounded, feeling solid in your own physical body, and on the face of the Earth; feeling secure, as it is the location of your body's survival center, thus the words "I am." Imbalances here show up as fears, anxieties, or insecurities about basic needs (food, shelter, safety); pain at that spot or in your lower back, your legs or feet.


Red is the beginning, where you start. Up the spine, the colors correspond to the colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green/Pink, Blue, Indigo/Purple, Clear or white/Purple.


More posts on each Chakra are coming up SOON!

Best Wishes!

On Vibrations and Raising Vibrations

We are sentient beings. We feel things. We feel emotions.
We are human, and we are physical beings, and there is so much that affects us.
Each of us has a physical being that we use to walk, talk, breathe, eat, drink, yell, rest with.
Inside our physical entities, we have parts that work. Really, the human form is amazing.
Like other beings on this Earth walk, we are spiritual beings.

I think there is more to this life than what meets the eye. And yes, I believe in the "magical" things, with a faith in our Creator, and that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes I am in awe of the aspects of life that I find are interrelated. I also believe that we can never know the entire Truth about living.

Everyone has a journey, and my journey includes discovering the little truths in my life every day. So this is my way of trying to understand the parts that come under my radar. Your journey includes stumbling upon these words written here in the vast internet today.

Everything has an effect whether intentional or not. Specifically, though, I think that there are ways to assist ourselves, to affect needed changes, to get us over the hump in our growth. There are many healing modalities, many ways to raise vibrations. Some people need outside help, but I tend to focus on the things that I can do myself. And I believe that intention is the key to it all.

Using crystals and stones to help me is one of those ways. But understanding the reasons why that helps is sometimes difficult. There is science to help understand, and a lot of that may actually discredit it all. If we listened to mainstream physicians all of the time, imagine a life of medicines and surgeries. Yes, modern medicine has it's place. But consider that other modalities may help. Remember there is more to living than meets the eye. And your intention to do something to help yourself may actually be the thing that helps.

Some modalities that may raise vibrations and help YOU are Yoga, meditation, chakra healing, Reiki, energy work, prayer; Cleaning your house, reducing clutter, surrounding yourself with specific colors in your home, or wearing specific clothes; taking a bath, or a shower, using herbs, essential oils; grounding, Earthing, nature walks, burning sage.

What helps you? On the most basic level, if it genuinely feels good deep down, it has to help. I'm not talking about fake things here, no illicit drugs or Gucci bags that you must have in order to survive. No little happy pills. Consider other things that may help. If purple hair helps you feel good about life, yourself, living, then by all means, go for it. If you like your bedroom, living room AND kitchen the color red, then do it, paint away. If you like the way a quartz crystal rock feels in your pocket, then do it.

What you intend when you do something may be the key. I intend when I sit and write on this blog to help someone out there with positive energies and positive vibes. I don't just want to sell jewelry. Sometimes I fail and only one person reads what I have written. Sometimes my words are jumbled, my ideas are criss-crossed. Sometimes I fail to keep my schedule on writing. But this is how I think: I am trying. I am putting something out there that is not negative, and that in  itself is positive. I am just me trying to make sense of it all.

I intend when I make my jewelry that someone will enjoy it. I intend that it will help them in some way.

I hope so.

Best Wishes, from Me.

Reviving, Renewal and the New Moon

I find the rhythms of my life very interesting.

So it comes as no surprise that, since I have been thinking for the past few weeks about vamping up my blogging, that TODAY was the day that I actually got back on blogger, and started editing, and adding and moving things around, changing fonts, colors, adding widgets, trying to remember how to do things.

Today is a New Moon. For some that do not know, a New Moon is a time of beginnings. It is a time of taking a deep breath, setting intentions, beginning anew, or starting something new.

In the midst of all of my editing, I remembered today's New Moon, and had my "A-ha!" moment.

It has been quite a while since my last blog post. Really, a couple of years??!!! At this moment, I believe that I will keep the previous posts up, because it shows that I really was here a few years ago, and gives a little bit of indication about who I am. Those things that I wrote about back then are still all very valid, very real parts of who I am, and how I operate in life.

Keeping those posts up is also is part of my frugality. I don't want to waste my efforts. I remember writing those posts. It gives me a sense of validation to see them still there. Even if my life has had a bunch of twists and turns, I realize that every twist, and every turn, makes me into who I am at this moment.

And so today, I am reviving this blog, and renewing the commitment to myself. My journey has brought me here, back to this space on the big WWW, on this Earth, and I believe I have some good vibrations to share. I will be sharing about my life, and how I try to keep my own vibrations up, my belief system, my work, and even how I sometimes get lost and discouraged. My idea is that by sharing, I will help someone along in their own journey through life, and thus make this World a better place.

Do you have any intentions for this New Moon? Are you starting something new?

Best Wishes!
