Location: Base of the spine
Beneficial aspects: Solidity and loyalty to truth
Harmful aspects: Inflexibility and stubbornness
I am steadfast, determined, unshakably loyal to truth. I endure all things with calm faith in God.
How might you change a harmful quality of this chakra into a beneficial one?
Try meditating on the earth element. Sit upright and close your eyes. Hold your body very still. Feel that you are a rock⎯absolutely immovable, stable, and firm.
