The Root Chakra, located at the base of your spine, is the seat of your life force energy. 

It supports the function of the bladder, kidneys and lower spine, your sense of security and your basic needs. 

When your Root (earth) energy is imbalanced, you feel physically or emotionally unsafe. Fear responses such as fight, flight, freeze, fawn originate from here, and the functioning of all the other chakras is affected.        

If it’s deficient, this may manifest as overwhelm, anxiety, anger or constipation. 

When Root energy is excessive, you may feel stuck, depressed, have low back pain or be fatigued. 

When the Root is stabilized, you feel level-headed and you’re less rocked by the external world. You feel safe in your body. You’re more present and aware of what causes imbalances moment to moment.

You feel a sense of vitality and health.

Root Chakra Self-Care

Experience nature. Go for a walk, sit by a lake, put your bare feet on the ground, hug a tree.

Drum or stomp. Use your hands or feet to feel your body and release tension through drumming, or listen to a recording of drum beats.

Cultivate presence. Take in your environment, the space and sounds, notice your breath, feel gravity pulling you down to Earth.

Take a shower. Enjoy the tactile sensation of water as it cleanses stagnant or blocked energy.

Eat root vegetables. Sweet potatoes, carrots, beets. 

Give yourself a pedicure. Take care of those supportive feet that connect you to the Earth.

Root Chakra Healing

Sometimes lifestyle choices and daily practices aren’t enough to heal a chakra imbalance.

Our bodies are memory keepers and can hold onto negative vibrations that cause ongoing stress and dis-ease for decades.

If you’d like support getting to the root cause of an issue so you can reclaim your wholeness and experience the freedom, joy and ease that is your birthright, I offer both individual healing sessions and an 8-week transformational healing journey.
