Start Low (Base Chakra)


Lets talk about Chakras. This is the system that manages energy that flows through our bodies from the earth up through the crown of our head. Chakra energy sometimes doesn't flow properly, resulting in disease and stagnation, emotional upheaval and bad feelings. For optimum health of the body, mind and spirit, chakras need to be tended, like a garden, aligned and tuned like a machine and protected like the treasure that they are.

The Base Chakra is called Muladhara. It is located at the base of the spine and it's color is vibrant red. It relates to the element earth.Muladhara governs the spine and everything below, including legs, feet, colon, anus, urethra and adrenal glands. It governs the sense of smell. It is associated with basic survival and groundedness. When we are secure in the lessons of the base chakra, we radiate vibrancy in our physical health, a sense of belonging on earth and a strong identification with our immediate family. We are able to meet a crisis with equanimity. Muladhara fosters a connection with mother earth and her many gifts.

HI Shelley. Im Shelley Kramer from Malibu, CA (not too far from you).
I am also an artist and have been making gemstone jewelry for a couple of years. I also learned a lot from the Crystal Bible, and by another book by Shelley Kader about Edgar Cayce and his work with the crystals and gemstones. It is fascinating for me to work with the stones and feel their energies. I would love to be able to do what you are doing selling on the web. I also do several other busineses, you might be interested at healthy-communications.com
