Gluttony / Root Chakra (Muladhara) Shadow
You often reach for comfort - food, people, routines - not because you're indulgent, but because your nervous system is wired for survival. There is a part of you that never truly felt safe, and now it tries to anchor itself in anything it can grasp. But this instinct to grasp, to hold on, to consume, is not grounding - it is fear dressed as need. Gluttony is not about excess. It’s about the aching emptiness of not feeling supported, of not trusting that you will have enough. Healing your root chakra helps you build true safety within. It teaches your body to rest, your breath to deepen, and your heart to stop bracing for disaster. You were never meant to survive alone - you were meant to feel held, supported, and secure. Root chakra healing is your first step to stability.
