The Root Chakra(Muladhara) : Tips to Feel Grounded and Stable

3/2/2016

There are seven main energy points (Chakras) in the body which run run vertically upwards along the spine.  Muladhara is the first chakra, located at the base of the spine and is also known as  the root chakra. This chakra harnesses our ability to feel safe, steady and grounded. It connects us to our physical bodies, environment and the Earth. Our root chakra can be out of balance when we don't have this sense of stability in our bodies or our lives we may feel as if we are slipping and sliding all over the place, we may feel unsafe or fearful. ​

 A physical Yoga practice helps us reconnect deeply with ourselves.  When everything in life seems to be in a constant state of of flux, simply stepping onto a yoga mat, moving the body and listening to breath can give us a great sense of being grounded. Feeling the soles of the feet and sending energy down into the earth is almost like the roots of tree reaching down to allow the tree to withstand the wind, rain and elements.

Having a sense of stability is an anchor that allows us to handle change be it positive and exciting or not so fun. Here are few other ways to help balance the root chakra: 
  • Connect with Nature. Get outside. Take a walk in a local park or stand barefoot on the earth or grass. 
  • Move your body. ​Dance in your bedroom, do yoga, run or do any movement that you enjoy! 
  • Massage you feet. Try reflexology or simple get a foot roller and roll away or give your feet a good stretch. 
  • Use positive affirmations (see above). Stop negative self talk and replace with positive affirmations.
So lovelies, trust and love your beautiful bodies and feel the earth supporting you in all you do! 
Om Shanti xoxox
