Root Chakra
The root chakra is what the method involves during the draining leg massage with red light chromotherapy.
When the Root chakra is blocked there are frequent manifestations of circulatory problems, edema and liquid accumulations – often in the legs.
The root chakra (or first chakra) symbolizes our roots, the foundations on which we base our being. The method operates by working on the stimulation of the Base chakra which supports the spinal column. Precisely for this reason the draining massage is dedicated to soliciting the chakra which affects the vitality, the foundation and the support of our being in correspondence with the support of our body: the legs.
The first chakra is responsible for giving the body and being stability and support. Through the vibrations of the red light and the force of the Earth element, the energy is conducted towards the adrenal glands which eliminate the excess toxins of which our lower limbs are saturated.
