  • What tools have you acquired for survival?

  • What resources can you utilize to sustain your well-being?


The ability to survive and thrive are also deeply connected to a need for proper social exchange. Your emotional needs are attached to feelings of safety so without caring affection the vital sustenance required to stabilize certain functions of the body will become unstable. Sociability is necessary in order to relate to one another in a way that maintains coordination between you and another in relation to the whole. The relations you foster function as a way of bridging your consciousness to reveal the inner workings of the self. The root chakra represents the deep world of the human psyche as it learns through the palpable experience of being earthbound to it's materiality.
