For me, spirituality is not just about being inside in the soul, searching and enjoying the inner being. It is also grounding outside and bringing the light into the physical level and into the physical existence. Bringing your energy into the space around you -- the ground that you walk upon, the place that you sit in, the place that you socialize in, that space must also carry your powerful energies. Every cell of your body must feel this energy. When you touch another human being you must be able to share energies with the person at every level.

The base chakra, therefore, must be involved in the whole process of relationship with the world, communication with the world. You must be grounded. This is an extremely important thing. This is what I strive to do every day. I must be in contact with my physical existence and I must bring the fullness of my being into the physical as well. The physical is an important world for me. I'm not attached to it. I can appreciate its changes, and I can live with them happily because I am not the body. I live in the body but I want to keep a good house. I want to keep the best house that I may enjoy my journey in the physical existence.

When you focus on the base of the spine and you hold your breath there and feel the energy into your entire body, it gives you a sense of grounding. When you learn how to hold the lower three centres powerfully, in yoga you learn a root lock called mulbandha where energy is stored. You learn how to lock the energy in the lower area. You can actually feel your physical existence is more powerful. Yoga is a very powerful discipline in terms of the chakras, in terms of living in the body, and using every level powerfully.

I'll leave you with that. It is exploring the joys of living at the base level, free and powerfully without losing centeredness in your spiritual being.

Do you explore the joys of living in the physical?

Are you grounded?

Do you see the importance of the base chakra, of being grounded in the physical?

Can you focus on the base chakra powerfully and become fully grounded in the physical without losing awareness of your spiritual being?
