What Is the Root Chakra?
Located at the base of the spine, this energy center is all about:
Safety
Security
Stability
Sexual Identity
When we live in constant stress or fear, we lock energy in the lower centers of the body… especially the Root. That keeps us stuck in “survival mode” thus preventing healing, growth, and any meaningful change.
Emotions Stored in the Root Chakra
The Root chakra holds survival-based emotions like:
Fear
Anxiety
Scarcity
Insecurity
These feelings can create physical and emotional tension, leading to burnout, chronic stress, and disconnection from your body. (How you constantly distract yourself… TV, social media, too much daydreaming, always doing stuff, etc.)
How to Heal the Root Chakra
Ready to shift out of fear and anxiety and into your power?
Here are 3 ways to start healing your Root:
1. Become Aware
Notice when you feel anxious, cling to control, or doubt your safety. Awareness is the first step to rewiring your energy.
2. Breathe Into It
During prayer or meditation, bring your attention to the base of your spine. Breathe slowly and visualize a red light glowing there. This helps draw energy up and out of survival mode.
3. Meditate Daily
If you know me, you know that I LOVE Dr. Joe Dispenza. He is my main teacher. He always says “where you place your attention is where you place your energy.” Try shifting your energy away from worry by focusing on gratitude. Center your focus on the Root to feel grounded and safe in the present moment.
Quick Grounding Practices
Try these playful practices to support your Root chakra healing:
Walk barefoot in nature (aka “earthing”)
Dance to music with deep drum rhythms
Repeat affirmations like:
“I am safe. I am grounded. I am supported.”
Final Thought
Healing the Root chakra isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about returning to your foundation of security.
When you feel safe in your body, you can stop reacting and start creating.
As Dr. Joe says, “You can’t create a new future from the memories of the past.”
So go ahead… root down, breathe deep, and rise strong.
Root Energy Center Visualization
This is a common concept in the healing arts space… that we are connected to Mother Earth from our Root Chakra, with our energy penetrating deep into her loving support.
