Root Energy Wheel
The Root energy wheel is where life force energy enters the base of our spine, through the core of the body, releases from the Soul Star energy wheel, and travels along the invisible lines in our electromagnetic field.
Yogic systems stress the importance of stabilizing the root chakra because of its gatekeeping functions with lifeforce energy moving — not just up our spine but through the core of our energy field and then descending/decompressing. Stability in the Root energy wheel can determine the quality of life, for the rise of lifeforce and its decompression can take as long as 10 years.
Lifeforce energy (kundalini) is also the same as high vibrational heart energy. It is what expands our chakras and contracts in our energetic field. When new lifeforce energy enters into the flow of our energetic field, it can be particularly hard on the physical body, mind, and emotions. Lifeforce energy shines a light on the shadows closest to our spine. The most subconscious of wounds live there manifesting rushes of emotions, confusion, delusions, phantom symptoms in the body, and periods of bliss soon after the energy has risen. Without a stable Root it can be hard to determine reality from fantasy and delusions.
The contraction of the lifeforce energy (when the energy flows around your entire field and back to your root) can take years to complete. Depending on the stability of the Root energy wheel, this can be challenging on our mental and physical health especially if the energetic field is dense.
A stable Root needs energetic hygiene. If we want to regulate and manifest each kundalini rising to be more blissful, we have to tune and ground into cycles and rhythms of the earth. This requires a strong pelvic floor, stable Earthstar energy wheel, and mindfulness in daily habits to care for oneself physically and energetically while in reciprocation with the earth.
A stable Root Chakra influences whether we feel safe and how we care for ourself. Mindfulness and daily habits feeding us lifeforce energy or expressions are often a requirement of the body to feel ultimately safe with its operator. This is why the Root is often associated with purity. The maintenance of lifeforce energy.

Guidance for the Root Moon Cycle
The grounding practices suggested in the Rainbow Moon Medicine for the Crown cycle, Divine Masculine moon season, and Soul Star cycle help stabilize our Root energy wheel allowing for a stable connection from root to flower. When the root is stable, the experience with kundalini rising can be blissful.
