Core Exercises for healing the SEXUAL Chakrah


First of all, WHAT IS YOUR CORE and why is it important?
Your core muscles extend from your pelvic floor, through your abdominal muscles, and up to your diaphragm. Your core muscles, along with your back muscles and buttocks, help compose your body’s sexual and creative center. We rely on this for stability in life as well as giving us the ability to stand tall and proud in the world.

DO WE NEED TO?
Due to injury, instability and common misalignment from improper movements, we need address this as one of the first areas to work on. Increasing stability in the core area also increases our libido and first chakrah, the muladhara.

In fact, almost every yoga move uses this area to center, stabilize and empower further movements.

Chronic pain from lower back injuries is the most common symptom that someone has injured their core. When we focus on this, we can prevent injuries, improve posture, and reduces if not get rid of lower back pain.

The root chakra has also been called the "grounding force energy" which allows people to connect with the earth, which is the most important foundation upon which to stabilize our being.

Energy and Muscles:
The root chakrah is related to the hips, legs, lower back and sexual organs.anus, adrenal glands and pelvic floor muscles. When you are poorly grounded, your spatial understanding in terms of where you are is impaired. You also may stumble around mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Grounding our core will enhance the ability to function effectively each day you are here.

EMOTIONS STEMMING FROM BLOCKED ROOT CHAKRAH?
When you root chakra his blocke, you may feel fearful, anxious, insecure and frustrated. Common symptoms may include weight issues (anorexia, bulimia, obesity,etc)

Exercise that "get to our core"

Begin with a silent meditation with the conscious intention of the words, "I AM", "I am grounded", "i am here". You might also try, "I accept my body as it is now", "I feel it, love it and validate it".

Then lye on your back, bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet close to your buttocks on the floor.

Press down on using your quads, pushing your feet into the ground with impact.Then, gently squeeze your buttocks and press your pubic bone downward feeling the earth beneath you. Breath out.

When we have sex, we use this energy and the muscles without even knowing it. You might imagine the same movement while doing these exercises. Remember though, they are micro movements, not big ones.

WHAT FOODS ARE associated with the first chakrah?
Eating is a first chakra activity. When we eat, we are nourished and our physical body is supported. Eating grounds us. Meats and proteins are first chakra food.
