Lately, I’ve been curious about the other chakras. The transpersonal chakras located outside of our bodies and flow through our core, connecting us beyond our bodies’ wisdom.

In my book, I talk extensively about the seven main chakras that run from the spine’s root to the head’s crown. To understand the chakras is to understand the powerful flow of energy you can control through your body, thoughts, emotions, and spirit.

And there’s more. Lots more.

The first of the transpersonal chakras is Chakra Zero or Earth Star.
 
It is located below your feet and connects through the soles (souls?) directing the earth’s energy straight to the nervous system.

As April Pfender says in her book,

“This portal connects us to the heart of Gaia [Mother Earth] and her crystalline iron core. The ground spirits, as well as the gem, microbial, and mineral kingdom, hold the wisdom of our ancestors and collective consciousness in this layer. … Personally and collectively speaking, this connection strengthens intuition and builds a greater awareness within the harmonics of the natural world, including the entire earth.”

The Earth Star’s element, iron, is the strongest of all Earth’s elements. Its color is brown, like the rich soil it represents. It anchors us and conducts energies that allow us to explore this earthly life we have chosen with wisdom obtained throughout the entire existence of earth and our soul’s journey. Ultimately it connects with Chakras 8, 9, 10, and 11. (More on that in my next few blogs.)

This new study endeavor comes from my readiness to go deeper into this system, adding to my wealth of wisdom from within and around my physical being. I have been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve learned so far.

One of my first experiences with guided meditation nearly 20 years ago, I ran into this chakra, although I had no idea then. When I read about its uses and powers, a deep knowing, an instant recognition flooded forth. Here is how Pfender puts it:

 “…the Earth star is one that you are born with as innately activated Re-remembering is all that’s needed to fully connect to this special gateway.” 

If you love gardening, hiking, being outdoors, you have likely remembered this connection on some level. Connection to this chakra heightens all your physical senses. Breathe in the pine trees, the garden sage, the red rock energy. They are your birthright. Or simply stand barefoot and feel your connection with Mother Earth growing deeper. (Rubber sole shoes repel energy.)

As you connect to this chakra, offer gratitude and consider how you can help replenish the earth with a bulb, a seed, some needed water. Create a reciprocal relationship with the Earth Star and feel its presence increase daily, leaving you stronger and wiser.

It’s exciting to have you join me in this exploration. Next week, I want to share more about the eighth chakra, the Soul Star, and how the Earth and Soul Stars align for you.
