This Silver Shield is proud to release the 2018 1 oz Proof Silver Shield Muladhara of the Seven Chakra series. There are seven psychic energy centers in our body. These Chakras can become out of balance and cause tensions and stresses in our lives if we are not conscious of them. Through meditation, yoga, or aroma therapy we can become aware of these blocks and release them. The Root Chakra or the Muladhara is the first chakra. Muladhara is the most instinctual of all chakras - it is your survival center. Your fight and flight response is initiated from this chakra. This is your primal, animal nature. It’s at the base of the chakra system and lays the foundation for expansion in your life.
The first chakra or root chakra is located at the base of the spine. The corresponding body locations are the perineum, along the first three vertebrae, at the pelvic plexus.
The Root Chakra has unique characteristics.
• Security, safety
• Survival
• Basic needs (food, sleep, shelter, self-preservation, etc.)
• Physicality, physical identity and aspects of self
• Grounding
• Support and foundation for living our lives.
It is important though to balance the root chakra first, before we proceed to others, or we will lack the stability and rootedness necessary for true transformation and personal growth. We cannot grow and change unless we feel safe and secure.
