Muladhara chakra

Guess what?!

Your body isn't just limited to what you can see, nor is it limited to your organs, blood, and bones. You also have a spiritual body that surrounds you like a cocoon. It's what we unconsciously refer to when we exclaim that someone has invaded our "personal space," and what we really mean when we say that we are getting bad (or good) vibes from someone.

Chakras just happen to be the energy centers of this spiritual body. And since each of them affects us physically and emotionally, blocks in them can actually end up hurting our life in pretty bad ways.

We are going to focus on just the first one — the root chakra (aka, Muladhara Chakra) — and the things that go down in our love life when it's blocked. Here are 11 signs your root chakra is blocked, and what you can do to get your life back on track. 1. You are nervous and anxious all the time. 2. You feel empty inside and disconnected from everyone. 3. You don't think you have enough money. 4. You are a shopaholic. 5. You have anger issues. 6. People tend to walk all over you. 7. You eat too much or too little. 8. You are afraid of change and the future. 9. You are always tired. 10. You have no idea who you are. 11. You wonder why your career is going nowhere. So, what can you do about a blocked root chakra? A blocked root chakra is a matter of urgency because of all the negative consequences it has in our life. So if you identified with at least half of the above signs (and were honest with yourself about the rest), there's a simple technique that will slowly help you open your Muladhara once more.

Walk outside in nature for at least half an hour every day. Even if you live in a city, find a park and do this. It will reconnect you with Mother Earth, which is the element of the root chakra, and thus, will slowly help you regain your confidence.
