root chakra
The energy vortex supposedly located at the base of the spine that elegantly hosts both your desire for security and your talent for self-deception. Point your awareness there, and your survival instincts will cheer while your skepticism throws a party. It’s like an impoverished spirit demanding attention with colorful yoga mats and incense. Originally meant to ground you, it often becomes the scaffolding for an inner castle of illusions. Misuse it and you’ll merely amass a towering pile of self-help books as decorative futilities.
