Balance Our Subtle System Mooladhara Chakra

Situated below the SACRUM BONE, the awakened MOOLADHARA CHAKRA fills us with innocence and wisdom, bringing with it a joy and wonder devoid of conditionings and prejudice – a quality found in small children. This generally diminishes as we grow and develop ego and self-centered desires. Fortunately this quality can return, like the sun shining after the passing of heavy clouds. In India the elephant headed God, Shri Ganesha, is worshipped as the essence of innocence and wisdom. He has the body of a child which symbolises innocence, and the head of an elephant, which symbolises wisdom.

The Mooladhara Chakra has four petals. The first petal faces downwards and contains harmony, balance and sensitivity to innocence. The second petal is towards the left and contains confidence in one’s own Divinity manifesting in humble confidence. The third petal is towards the right and contains humility to God, Divine wisdom and pure knowledge. The fourth petal reaches upwards and brings fearlessness due to security, awareness of collective consciousness and the power of dharma.

SHRI MATAJI ON INNOCENCE

There have been stories that children who have fallen from a very great height were completely saved, nothing happened to them. Their innocence is such a powerful thing that it doesn’t harm anyone who is not to be harmed. It has all the wisdom of the world, all the understanding of the world; and anybody who tries to harm the innocence, the world, the whole world – which may not have cared so much for innocence, might not have worshipped innocence so much – but they all stand, stand up against anybody who tries to harm the innocence.

You can see in your own lives around you, when anybody tries to trouble children –all of the them, whoever they are, whatever maybe their nationality, they all jump, all jump to safeguard that child. What is it? What is it within us that makes us so very conscious to protect the innocence?

It’s really a shame, a great shame for us, when we find in this world that innocence is under attack. Anything else can be tolerated. Innocent people who have done nothing wrong, those who have no malice, who are living like little children, I should say, if they are attacked by anyone – not that the
whole world reacts to that – but every one of them cannot bear any innocent person or innocent being, being harmed

We don’t realise that, within us, there is the ocean of love and ocean of understanding for children. Why? Why should it be? Why should we feel like that, especially for children? Especially for innocence? There are people who are always attacking innocent people, innocent children – there are, but no-one wants to support them.

No one thinks that it’s proper to ill treat children. And those who have done this have to suffer. They all suffer as a reaction.

CAUSES OF IMBALANCES IN THE MOOLADHARA

Lack of contact with beauty, nature and the Mother Earth. Attention on material things.

Left: Promiscuity, perversion, allowing sex to dominate our lives, desires and attention.
Right: Obsessively strict, overly-disciplined or fanatic.

BALANCING THE MOOLADHARA

Sit and place both palms on the earth allowing the earth to balance us. Walk barefoot on the earth and take footsoaks. Spend time in the nature and keep the attention on nature – looking at the sky, the grass, and the flowers.

Look at people or objects without lust or greed. Take the attention from the material to the sublime and develope the joy of innocent things like small children, animals and gentle music. Relax and enjoy the beauty of life
