The Root and the Crown
The Root and the Crown
The seven major chakras are aligned along the spine, from bottom to top. We see these areas as the energy centers of our body. At the base of the spine is the first chakra, also called the base chakra and the root chakra. At the very top of the head is the crown chakra.
It is through these two chakras that we can connection to both earth and heaven simultaneously. In that space of connection, we are grounded and supported. In that space of connection, we are open to spiritual messages and healing from the earth, and from our ancestors, loved ones in spirit, angels, guides, and guardians.
It is interesting to me that the exact location of the root chakra is, for women, the place that tears to allow a child to be born. For men, this place is directly related to the ability to create life. The location of the crown chakra is the fontanel, that soft spot that facilitated our birth. That both the base and the crown have physical connection to birth is fascinating to me. I wonder what the spiritual takeaway from that fact might be.
The feeling of connecting to earth and to heaven is, for me, a feeling of ancient power. When we think of birth, we think of something new coming into the world. Paradoxically, the energy and act of birth is as ancient as time itself.
Perhaps we can look at this this way. When we connect with the ancient and universal power of earth and heaven, we are supported in our ability to create, to heal, and to be reborn.

A Two-card Reading for Connection
You can use tarot or any oracle deck for this simple yet profound two-card reading.
Let the first card represent the root chakra and ask this question:
How can grounding into the earth help me heal and grow today?
Let the second card represent the crown chakra and ask this question:
What wisdom and support is available to me today from my ancestors and guardians?

Guidance on the Journey
When we think of the root and the crown chakras, it is interesting to think about the Ace and Ten of Pentacles. The Ace of Pentacles connects us to the earth, and the Ten of Pentacles connects us to our ancestors.
You can use these cards in meditation to help you ground and hear the messages of your ancestors. You can hold the Ace in your right hand and the Ten in your left hand, or you can place them on your altar.
The energy of these cards can help you make those connections from which you can derive healing, energy, and spiritual support.
