Chakras & The Brain: First Red Root

Lets visit the different parts of the brain and how they work with and identify with the human energy system, more commonly known as chakras.

This is actually the Crossroads between Brain and Mind.

Brain is the organ in your skull, yes? Mind is in every single cell of your existence, all those that have been, all that are, and all that will be. Mind is awareness, consciousness, witness.

Your First Red Root Chakra comes with the inherent Grace of Life, which endows you with the Gift of Belonging.

Its agenda is, plain and simple, Survival.

Its brain part is the brain stem, for regulating involuntary bodily functions.

And thank God for it.

As you’ve read these few words, you’ve been growing your eyelashes. And making red blood cells. And respirating. And sloughing off bits you no longer need.

Can you imagine if you had to do all that consciously?

Most of the functions of these miraculous bodies we inhabit are autonomic. It comes from roots auto- = self + nomos = law, and means self-governing.

The next time you’ve had it up to your brain stem with something in your life, and someone tells you to make a gratitude list, and you want to strangle them, you’ll have an easy start with it if you’ll just list all the things your body is doing that are self-governing. I promise, gratitude will return in a snap!

Blessèd week.
