Rituals

Root Chakra Activity#1: We are going to establish a non-negotiable daily rhythm with a focus on sleep hygiene, hydration, and regular meals. The Root Chakra demands rhythm, and when the body knows when it will sleep and eat, the anxiety of "survival mode" decreases. This is not a complex to-do list; it is a survival schedule. You are simply reclaiming the body Here is the mandatory parts for your new vitality routine: Set a specific wake-up time. It doesn't matter when you go to sleep yet, but you must wake up at the same time every day to reset the circadian rhythm. Schedule three "fuel stops" per day. Even if it’s just a protein shake or a piece of fruit, the body must learn that fuel is coming consistently. Cleanse your body each evening, treating it not as a chore, but as a "washing off" of the day's stress.

Think I’m going to try some different changes with mum if I can 🤞. Think when we are with others I’m going to keep 🤐 as I don’t want mum annoying me and I don’t want to annoy her as I hate that situation between us 😡as it makes me 😤☹️😡. I’m going to stop doing things too like biting my nails etc like I did last night when gran was around! mum didn’t like it as it made her go funny 😵‍💫🙄 it was like it’s my body I can do what I like!!!!!! We are like bff but not when she annoys me like she has been doing occasionally over the past few weeks 😡so unfair on me 😤☹️! Hate feeling sorry for myself all the time!!!!!!!!

While the Earth Star was about where you stand (your environment), the Root Chakra is about your RIGHT to stand there. It's located at the base of the spine, and it governs survival, physical safety, family/tribe, routine, and our basic needs. Addiction hijacks the brain's survival mechanisms, making the substance or behavior feel as necessary as food or water; it shatters the Root because it threatens survival and disconnects us from our "tribe." Our goal is to move the nervous system out of "fight or flight" and into "rest and digest" where things are more predictable. You cannot heal if your body feels unsafe. I listened to everyone's feedback, and I realize I was giving everyone too much too fast. So we're cutting back a little this week. I only have three activities for the entire week. First one's coming right up!

My mom’s health seems to be deteriorating, as is her memory and she doesn’t seem to want to do anything about it; not sure how to process this.
