Chakras & Personal Rhythms: First Red Root

One of the things that some teachers recommend is slotting tasks and appointments according to the best time of day for whichever chakra is ascendent at the time.

For the next week or so, I want to explore the recommended times, and also make a far more vital point about the human energy system, of which the chakras make up the major share, and the use of our time.

If we still lived with an agrarian calendar, meaning without the ability of electricity to make light available 24/7, the original chakra times would still be perfectly applicable today.

For the First Red Root Chakra, the optimal time is:

6–8 PM REJUVENATE, PASSION, LOVE, FOOD

The Grace of this chakra is Life, and it allows us to gift others with Belonging.

Think of the farmer who’s been out in the fields working since 4 AM. Six would be time for family, supper, connecting to kind, and winding down so as to be rejuvenated by sleep so that he could get up and do it all over again the next day.

Electricity changed that instantly, which could be viewed as good or bad. The real point here is to learn your own rhythms.

If you work the night shift, say, your best First Red Root time would likely be 6–8 AM, not PM.

First Chakra issues are all about survival. When your very life is at stake, when can you best shore yourself up? That will be your best First Chakra Time.

Blessèd week.
