Many women come to me because they are experiencing fatigue related to stress or other emotional issues. All of these women have a congested first chakra (and various other chakras as well). This is not surprising to me since the first chakra has to do with your life force and vitality.

The first or root chakra relates to vitality, the life force, being grounded, forward movement and stability. It also relates to the hips, legs and feet of the physical body. The clients that come to me for guidance with emotional issues include stress, depression, lack of motivation, “feeling stuck” or fear of making a desired change. The vast majority of these clients experience physical fatigue and sleep issues. Many of them tell me they feel scattered or disconnected from their body in some way. All of these are symptoms of a congested root chakra!

When I was experiencing chronic pain and started taking healing touch classes my root chakra, along with several others, were congested. I experienced fatigue and had to take a nap after work in order to function the rest of the evening. I sometimes said no to going out with friends because I was too tired. My chi or life force was not flowing well and this affected by energy level.

I was becoming increasingly frustrated at work and did not feel grounded. What do I mean by grounded? When you are grounded you feel connected to the earth, your own physical body and can focus on the present moment. I felt disconnected from Mother Earth because I was not getting outside regularly for a hike in the woods or a walk on the beach. I was having difficulty focusing at work. For example I would leave a patient’s room to get a needed supply and when I got to the supply cart forgot what I needed! My mind was wandering and thinking about what I should do next instead of what I needed now. This caused me to be less efficient and was just plain annoying.

The healing touch program taught me grounding techniques which I use on a daily basis to help keep me grounded and my energy high. In step 3 of my 5 step system I teach my clients grounding techniques and other techniques to keep the energy center open. This allows you to tap into your life force and receive vitality and healing from Mother Earth.   Opening this chakra will help you feel energized, connected and focused. Contact me to learn more!
