The Earth Star Chakra is the first amongst the major chakras. It is situated between the feet, going down up to 1 foot into Mother Earth. The Earth Star Chakra is the seed of our being that grows into roots, firming our life and grounding us on Mother Earth.
This chakra helps us use our legs effectively to earn our living, as well as establish our identity based on all that we inherit – genes and all else. It is the chakra that connects us to our ancestors, whose journey we continue to. The Earth Star Chakra is about every person, who has influenced our lives, our choices and our outcomes.
If this chakra is not functioning appropriately we face problems in our career, property, wealth; where in we tend to face conflict and disputes. This is because disturbance to this chakra creates a sense of unsettlement, impatience, ungroundedness. We struggle to keep ourselves firmly grounded in all that we need to do.
Firm and deeply growing roots ensure a firm, strong and sturdy tree that tides through every storm. To heal our Earth Star Chakra we need to work with all those who belong to the roots of our being in this lifetime, which includes our ancestors, parents, teachers, friends, relatives, etc; all connections from our conception to this day.
The Hawaiin Forgiveness Prayer – Ho’Oponopono is a powerful technique to help heal away all the toxic unforgiveness of the past known and unknown to you. By consciously bringing all those you feel you need to forgive, seek forgiveness from, thank and express your love to, you can bring a dynamic paradigm shift in your consciousness, placing your roots firmly, grounded and therefore bringing about a shift in all the problems you face where your physical identity in every sphere of your life is concerned.
Even if you are not aware of names and identities of your ancestors, simply meditating on the Ho’Oponopono prayer, or repeating it as a chant can play an important role in healing all matters concerning the Earth Star Chakra.
Location of the Earth Star Chakra:
To become aware of the position of the Earth Star Chakra you will have to stand straight, effortlessly, comfortably. Allow the feet to balance you without having to keep a wide or too narrow a distance. A comfortable standing stance with a slight gap between your feet. Now become aware of a string running though the centre of your body, straight down into Mother Earth, piercing to a point 1 foot (12 inches or 30 centimetres below). This is where your Earth Star Chakra is.
Imagine you are a walking talking tree, where you go your roots go too. So, the Earth Star Chakra is not just a point to meditate upon, it is a chakra that is with you all the time. It is the seed that sprouts into your roots.
