John Selby in his "Kundalini Awakening, A Gentle Guide to Chakra Activation"  
likes a balanced approach.  He says "At this point in history it is  
ecologically as well as spiritually important that we break free of both the  
Hindu and Christian attitudes that judge the lowly reality of the Earth as  
negative...and that revere only heavenly, nonearthly dimensions of  
consciousness...So the Root Chakra, which provides us with our connection to  
Mother Earth at a most primal level, should be held as equal to the Crown  
Chakra."  
 
He goes on to say, "the chakras are in fact paired, especially in the Taoist  
tradition...The Heart Chakra, number four, is the center..."  He goes on to  
pair the 5th (throat) and the 3rd (Solar plexus) and the sixth (Anja) with  
the 2nd (sex chakra) and the 7th (crown) with the 1st (root chakra).  and  
says "again we find this dynamism of equal extremes balancing each other. < 
snip>  It is not only a spiritual violation but also an extremely dangerous  
practice to try to deny the bottom chakra while fixating on the top chakra."  
 But I don't see you as denying the lower chakras, and IMO as long as you are  
not having any problems with Crown Chakra meditation, I don't see why you  
should have anything to worry about.     
 
Love, Hillary
