The Root of Trauma: Resolving Pain & Addiction Through the Lower Chakras - Paperback

by Melissa Grabau (Author)

Heal from the Inside Out with this Book's Eastern Perspective on Western Mental Health

What do the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras have to do with healing from trauma? Everything. This book explores a new way to address the damage trauma does to the mind and spirit by resolving the ways it impacts the body.

Childhood trauma creates imbalances in the three lower chakras, blocking the higher chakras and stunting an individual's development. Melissa Grabau explains how each chakra is matched with Western psychology diagnoses and then offers client stories that help you understand how to heal it. As the lower chakras heal, energy naturally moves upward into the higher chakras, allowing you to blossom and find new possibilities in your life.
