Today I want to share with you some advises to open and heal your root chakra (I'll talk about others chakra a little bit later in others post). And if you want to heal all your chakra you must start from the bottom to up.
In first, the root chakra (Muladhara in sanskrit) is related to our capacity to root in reality and in the present moment and he regulates energy associated with instinct, survival and safety.
The most part of time when this chakra is unbalanced it's due to a traumatic event in our past.
However, there are many different signs that can show you have an unhealthy root chakra and the best way to tell whether you need to undergo root chakra healing is to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, actions and physical sensations within your body
Here are some examples :
- You tend to obsess about money and you worry about don't have enough
- You have a general mistrust of others
- You have dysfunctional relationship in your family
- You're terrified of loss of control
- You're anxious for the most of the day
- You're disconnected from other people and nature
- You binge-eat or stop eating completely when you get depressed or anxious
- You have leg and feet problems, such as swelling, infection, cramps, poor circulation
How many of these signs can you identify with ?
When most people talk about unhealthy root chakras, they’re referring to “blocked” or deficient chakras that restrict energy flow. But did you know that your chakras can also be excessive or overactive ?
So what is the difference between a deficient and excessive root chakra? Essentially, a deficient root chakra can be defined as passive, whereas an excessive root chakra can be defined as aggressive.
Deficient = lifeless, sluggish, passive, blocked, inwards (not enough energy flows in).
Excessive = lively, agitated, reactive, aggressive, outwards (too much energy flows in).
Therefore, if you have a deficient root chakra, you will be more prone to issues such as anxiety, suspicion, and withdrawing.
On the other hand, if you have an excessive root chakra you will be prone to hoarding, workaholism, greed, and anger.
So what does a healthy and balanced root chakra look and feel like?
When you have a clear, strong and harmonious root chakra, you will firstly feel grounded and calm. You will no longer have fears surrounded money or loss of control, but will come to trust the divine intelligence of life. Not only will you trust yourself more, but you will also feel connected to others and nature more deeply. When your root chakra is healthy, you will find it simple to be your authentic self finding the peace that is always here in the present moment easier to connect to. You will give up the need to fight, protect and defend, and will instead come into alignment with flow of life.
Here are some of the best root chakra healing practices out there that I have personally experimented with.
1 . Do meditation with "LAM" mantra
This sound matches the vibration of the root chakra. Try drawing out the letters into sounds, such as “lllllllaaaaaaammmmm.” You might also like to listen to binaural beats (a form of music healing therapy) which helps to activate and clear all the chakras through alternating sound waves.
2. Find this precious link with nature
Regularly go walk in nature (without your shoes), have a contact and meditate (or do yoga pose) with nature once a day or at least once a week. It will really help you to be more anchored in the life.
3. Eat grounding and red foods
Think sweet potatoes, beets, radish and other root vegetables.
4. Carry and meditate with crystal
Use root chakra crystals such as jasper, hematite, smoky quartz, and carnelian. My favorite root chakra crystal is black tourmalin.
5. Use yoga pose
Stretch your body using the simple yoga poses of child pose, forward bend, mountain pose, squat and warrior.
Final Advice
What to do now with all this information?
As someone who has struggled with a severely imbalanced root chakra before, I found that bringing more mindfulness into my days helped immediately and immensely.
Try slowing yourself down, taking more breaks, and connecting with your breath, these are simple and easy first steps you can take.
Afterward, you can implement the other healing practices described above.
Thanks for reading me, hope you'll feel better try theses practices !
