Connecting via Muladhara

Blessings,

For the next few weeks I will be investigating how we can connect with others via the traditional seven-chakra system. How do we do it?

For instance: this week I want to understand how I can connect with my wife via Muladhara. My first thought was to talk about our fears, needs, how we find sustenance, connecting with our physical bodies together, seeking the ground of our relationship, connecting via our sense experiences, visualizing and chanting the bija mantra together, and so on. But I feel there is something missing.

This may add to your understanding:

Our gross senses ear, nose etc are backed up by their subtle counterparts (called tanmatras) These subtle sensors gain energy and intelligence with progressive cleansing and activation of corresponding chakras. Chakras, by the way are neither organs nor muscles. They are points of confluence of energies which flowing from different directions merge and generate centrifugal force.

With spiritual advance one my not used external sensors and yet fully perceive with tanmatras. That is crudely symbolized as a ‘third eye’. These subtle centers enable contact-less communication with others. But there is no clue how chakras themselves enable such communication.

Muladhara is, for example, produces fusion energy and is considered a potential storehouse of power. By talking about fears etc you will certainly have psychic relief, but that has hardly anything to do with muladhara chakra. This is my opinion.

Thanks for the responses. I guess a better question would be: what personal experiences has anyone had with the Root Chakra. I am familiar with the traditional and not so traditional associations, symbolism, and so forth, connected with each chakra. What I am really looking for is personal experiences. I really, truly wish to hear from others.

Best is your own experience, you dont know if what you hear from others is fictional or truth. Also different people different experiences. So try to experience it your self. If you hear somebody telling you its in a certain way your mind can cheat you to believe you have experienced it. Like the placebo effect. the mind can make us have symptoms of a disease if we think we have catched one, even when we didnt.

Everyone has experienced the root chakra by getting horny and not able to hold it. By resisting you make that energy rise instead. Thats the real challenge.

There are always bad threads in a tapestry. The key is to step back and see the bigger pattern. Only then can we truly understand truth, and in understanding truth, find our own Truth. While I agree that everyone has different experiences with energy, and that there are some who will propagate false experiences for self-gratification and other reasons, in sharing we grow, and in growing we become.

For instance, one of the experiences I have had with my root center is fear. A classical emotion (energy in motion) associated with the first chakra. Why, well for one the instinctual drive for survival. As I sit meditating, I recognize just how deep fear goes – to the core in fact. Last night’s meditation brought to my attention how fear really locks in my energy, preventing it from fully awakening. Those three and half coils of the Kundalini, while having many meanings, also retains the energy of repression because of fear. External fear for our survival, internal fear out of failure, not being good enough, not pure enough, not deserving and whatever else, and lastly energetic/spiritual fear which manifests as stifled, blocked, restrained, denied, and so forth. That final half coil is the handle from which we untangle the energy and set it free.

One of the ways I works with fear is to go through my life and find all those moments fear arose. I go through the experience again: I loosen up, I open up, and I allow the fear to be before letting it go – letting it be free.

Another thing I work with is something similar to the Tibetan Chod practices where I dive deep into the fear itself, giving myself completely over to it. Resting in the fear, not running, not hiding, not fighting, just being. Like a fire that loses its tender, fear dies out. When fear turns into freedom – it has served its purpose!

Each time I go through this process I can feel the energy loosen up and release, filling me with joy and energy. I used to have radiating pain in my anus/colon, what I feared was a precursor to colon cancer, but since I have connected with my fear and faced up to it, this pain has long since disappeared.

This is one of my experiences with the root chakra and the work I do to help awaken the latent energy within.
