🟥 Root Chakra (Muladhara): Grounding into the Intelligence of the Body

Introduction

• Location: Base of the spine
• Color: Red
• Element: Earth
• Themes: Grounding, stability, survival, security, physical vitality
• Gemstone: Red Jasper or Garnet
• Why: Strengthens stability, courage, and connection to the physical body
• Affirmation: “I am safe, grounded, and supported by the Earth.”

The Root Chakra is the foundation of our energy system. It anchors us to the earth, governs our sense of safety, and connects us to the rhythms of life. When balanced, it provides stability and vitality; when blocked, it manifests as fear, insecurity, or disconnection.

This article explores how grounding into the body’s innate intelligence transforms crisis into opportunity, purity into alignment, and desire into spiritual growth.

Crisis as Catalyst

The Chinese word for crisis (危机 wēijī) combines two meanings: danger and opportunity. This duality reflects the essence of the Root Chakra. At the root, we face survival, instability, and fear — but also the chance to choose a new foundation.

Crisis is not a breakdown; it is a biochemical signal of transition. Cortisol and adrenaline surge, but beyond the molecules lies choice. Do we collapse into fear, or rise into presence? The ground may shake, but the soul remembers its rhythm.

Rational Mind vs. Inner Wisdom

We often rely on the rational ego-mind to separate good from bad and to seek guidance from external teachers. Yet rationality alone does not ground us in universal consciousness. True discernment arises when we connect to the zero-point field — the stillness beneath appearances — and perceive deeper patterns moving life forward.

As Mireille Mathieu sings:

Je suis une femme amoureuse, et je brûle d’envie de
dresser autour de toi
les murs de ma vie
(I am a woman in love, and I burn with desire to build around you the
walls of my life)

The question is: are these walls built from human conventions, or are they rooted in universal truth? Only the latter allows energy to flow freely.

The Body as Temple

Our body is not a machine that needs external manuals. Encoded in our DNA is a living operating system. Like a sunflower that grows without instructions, we too can unfold into our fullest potential.

Each belief we hold becomes a signal, shaping our body’s operating model. We don’t hand our body a manual; we become the manual through the attention we place on possibility.

Grounding and Purity

Grounding is also about rethinking purity. Dirt is simply matter in the wrong place. Soil on a carrot may look messy, but soil is its natural environment.

In the same way, our bodily fluids are not filth but part of us. Washing is not about removing impurity, but about resetting our energy field. Purity, then, is alignment with nature’s rhythm — freedom from artificial processes, whether in farming or in life.

Spontaneity and the Invisible Cage

Rigid ideals and social norms can build invisible cages around us. They restrict spontaneity and disconnect us from our natural rhythm. True grounding requires breaking free from these illusions and listening to the body’s timing.

Physical limitations, rather than being sacrifices, can become guides — directing our attention to subtler truths we might otherwise miss.

The Pulse of Life

Grounding is not about projecting desire outward, but about recognizing the divine pulse already alive in our energy field.

Until this morning, November the 10th – a day before launching this Rainbow Bridge blog – it seemed that we couldn’t find anything that would directly and clearly connect the Root Chakra to my experience – except the pulse. And then, as if answering the question of how the Root chakra connects to my own path, I had a vivid dream last night. My first impression was that it had nothing to do with my current situation and I wondered why I had that dream. Then I realized that it was all about my journey, beginning in the end of the 1970s.

Dream of the House on Sirkka Road

In the dream, I stepped off a bus into the unknown and found myself on a road named Sirkka. Immediately I felt: this is my place. At the beginning of the road stood a vacant house, very spacious and full of light. Though it apparently had been empty for a long time, I chose to enter and stay. A wanderer was also taking shelter there, but his presence did not disturb me.

The next morning, I met the owner of the house. She seemed to find it natural that I was living there, for she herself had moved on to live elsewhere. She told me about the time when she had lived in that house — and about her little dog that was not potty trained, leaving its mess everywhere.

Interpretation

The house is my body, long vacant, waiting to be inhabited with full presence. The owner is my past self, acknowledging me without resistance. The wanderer is the transient force that once dragged me against my will. And the little dog — messy, innocent, chaotic — is the imprint of my first love affair, the ungrounded energy that left traces of disorder.

This dream shows me reclaiming the house, choosing to live in my body, despite the past mess. The “shitty dog” is not erased; it is remembered as part of the story. But it no longer defines the house.

The stroke was the moment when my body collapsed under the absence of grounding. I had a strong pull to the zero point, but without awareness, I was dragged randomly from place to place. This is the paradox of free will: when ungrounded, we are not truly choosing — invisible forces choose for us.

Now, stepping onto the Rainbow Bridge means inhabiting the house fully. Free will becomes real only when rooted in the body. And the clearest sign of this embodiment is the pulse in the Root chakra — the magnetic rhythm that people feel when they connect to the zero point. It is the same pulse I wrote about in Orgasm of Light: “I trust the pulse beneath the veil.”

Closing Thought

This journey of reclaiming the house of the body and trusting the Root chakra pulse continues across my writings. In Awakening, I reflected on the invisible forces that once dragged me; in Divine Feminine, I explored the boundaries of embodiment; and in Orgasm of Light, I gave voice to the pulse beneath the veil. Together, these threads weave the path toward the Rainbow Bridge
