Healing into Wholeness Using Chakras Day 1
Using the Chakras By Lynn Zambrano

*Note: Looking at the endocrine glands and sexual organs for first and second chakras, you may notice they seemed to be switched. This is only my interpretation, authorities vary depending on who you are reading.
A closer look at physical dysfunctions gives clues about the underlying causes of “dis-ease”.
Skeletal system, bones and joints act as your framework and allow you to express yourself through movement. It ties into foundation issues of safety, trust, belonging and security. Other issues of abuse, insecurity or survival are also linked here. Core beliefs must be examined if experiencing difficulties with bones and joints because it represents conflict with the root theme of “right to be here”.
