The element of the first chakra is EARTH. It's a foundation. It's rooting yourself to the Earth. It's stability and strength. I'm focusing on it this month. My meditations will be to the sound of the first chakra (O as in oh for the vowel sound or LAM for the seed sound). There are also a few yoga poses that helps you connect with the first chakra.

This is very interesting! I love reading about Eastern medicine.... we have so much to learn ("we" meaning our traditional Western thinking medicine... ie. "everything can be cured by a pill....)
Fascinating reading!
