I really wanted to call this FiZiQ – SHAKE YOUR BOOTY! While I was creating this FiZiQ, I had the intention of activating the kundalini and getting things moving and the music was going to be upbeat! So with my professional hat on I felt I had to rename it to BASE ACTIVATION FiZiQ.

If our base is faulty we can’t build securely on top. It reminds me of the TOWER card in Tarot. It can freak people out when they see  the traditional depiction of this card come up in a reading, as shows lightning striking a falling building and people falling out. But to my mind it simply means we need to bring down a an unstable structure/thought pattern/perception/belief/habit, and prepare a better foundation, so a more secure building can be built on top.

Ensuring we have a good foundation equally applies to our body. Looking after our feet, doing regular hamstring and glute stretches, doing coccyx curls to keep our lower back and core activated, toned and flexible.

When we have sedentary lifestyles or careers that centre around desks and computers, when we are struggling with financial issues, feel unsupported by family, partners or friends, fear losing our base, our identity, we will often encounter issues in the base of the spine – the base/root chakra area.

Years ago I remember having a few accountants come to me with sciatica pain – what was their job? – worrying about money! Base chakra dysfunction. Plus they were sitting all day in front of computers! Part of their rehabilitation was advice to do stretches, join a dance class or go walking. When we are so engrossed in something, we forget we need to get up and move!
