California Mid-State Fair Series: Chakra Wisdom. DAY 1 - ROOT CHAKRA

Last night was the Full Moon, and here we are starting a new series for you on a fresh new day.

Today is the first day of the California Mid-State Fair, and the first day of this blog series on Chakra Wisdom.  We'll be posting 7 days of Chakra Wisdom for the first 7 days of the fair, and then some associated yoga postures (asanas) for the remaining 5 days.  Use this guide to learn about Mid-State Fair highlights, ways to stay grounded, getting the most out of your fair experience, or; simply, follow along from home or wherever you find yourself.

DAY 1 - ROOT CHAKRA

- Wear your best Red! -

Warm up to fair season, and your chakra system, by activating that root chakra.  This energy center is located at the base of the spine, our "root."  Try some GINGER (also a root) in your food, as a drink, or used as an essential oil to get yourself going.  The spice helps activate your blood flow, energizing you for the day.  We'll be wearing ONYX in our jewelry, with the intention of leaving any negativity at the door, as we start our fair experience off right!  Some fun warm-up fair activities are:  petting zoo and pony rides for kids at the Rancho Frontier (noontime) -and- local favorite Kenny Taylor playing at the free Mission Stage at 7pm!

PS:  We sell an essential oil blend called "Sore-no-More" (for use blending into lotions, oils, or other topical creams) here at EarthTones.  There is a fair amount  (no pun intended) of GINGER in the blend.  Need a pick-me-up to get you to the fair?  It may do the trick!  Carrier oils sold here as well.
