The root chakra is our spiritual connection to the earth and the material world around us.

A healthy root chakra makes us feel safe and secure, both physically and metaphorically. When this energy center is out of balance, it disrupts our survival instincts.

We experience a lot of distress – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Fortunately, there’s something we can do to keep our root chakra balanced with minimum effort: affirmations!

Affirmations are positive statements that allow us to better connect with ourselves on a subconscious level.

In this blog post, I will guide you through using powerful root chakra affirmations to restore balance within yourself and empower your overall well-being.

Before we learn different affirmations, let’s understand the significance and function of the root chakra in detail. 

Understanding Root Chakra 

The root chakra, also known as Muladhara or Padma, is one of the seven major chakras in the human body located at the tailbone/base of the spine.

Its aura is represented in red and brown color.

Significance of the Root Chakra 

Being an earth element, it governs security/safety and the densest grade of manifestation.

A balanced root chakra will always make you feel grounded, safe, and confident. If it is unbalanced, you will lack coordination, energy, and zest for self-esteem to live a purposeful life.

The unbalanced root chakra can also induce physical imbalance such as addictions, insomnia, and problems related to feet, legs, and lower abdomen. 

Functions of the Root Chakra 

The main function of the root chakra is to ground you and make you feel one with life.

However, how you feel about the same depends on your past karmic account. A negative karmic account from birth would make your negative emotions weigh over positive emotions and vice versa. 

But, once you learn how to balance your root chakra, you can vacuum all the negative emotional energies from inside and ground them to earth to achieve a rainbow purity aura. 

There are many ways to balance your root chakra, but in this blog, we will primarily focus on the power of affirmations. 

The Power of Affirmations 

According to neuroplasticity, our brain can hardly differentiate between reality and imagination under a profound influence. That serves as a loophole and a base for self-affirmation. 

Repeating positive affirmations daily helps your brain create a mental image of your desired state of mind where you are already a winner.

That reflects in your actions too. Your actions upgrade to match your desired end goal. 

Symptoms of Blocked Root Chakra

As root chakra gives your grounding, its imbalance keeps you struggling to settle down in one place. You get a general feeling of agitation in your work life and personal interactions. 

Here are some signs of a blocked root chakra.

  1. You find it hard to connect with everyone. 
  2. You feel unstable and fearful even when everything seems fine. 
  3. You overbuy things just to fill in something you can’t explain.

Benefits of Using Affirmations for Root Chakra Healing

Practicing positive affirmations helps you overcome prolonged fears and limiting self-beliefs that hold you back.

They are nothing but energy blockages during any major traumatic event or stressful surroundings.

How to use affirmations for root chakra healing?

Before you repeat affirmations, make sure to: 

  • Be in a good state of mind: When you’re in a bad mood, you are already in a negative energy zone. You can hardly mean what you say. 
  • Raise your confidence level: confidence is the stepping stone to every successful manifestation. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is to write your affirmations in the present tense. 
  • Control your negative feelings: Deep down, your heart may disagree with what you say during your affirmations. Stop acknowledging them; they will gradually lose their existence in your mind.  

End Thoughts 

Affirmations only work when you add them to your daily routine. But first, create your personal root chakra affirmations and take the time to connect with them for balancing and healing.

The best part is that you can be extremely flexible with the process. Even if you don’t have any dedicated time for the practice, you can still repeat them silently as you go about your day.

Investing a little bit of energy into root chakra healing can change how you approach life and navigate through relationships. 

FAQs

Do affirmations work?

Yes, they do. It has already been scientifically proven that positive affirmations boost one’s self-image by altering neural pathways inside the brain. As affirmations anchor your brain on rewards, you feel less emotional pain and have high stress-buffering effects. Knowing you have the ability to manage stress amidst adversities further promotes faith in yourself, leading to extraordinary results. 

What are some other methods of root chakra healing?

Guided meditation and grounding yoga are two effective ways to balance your root chakra. You can also try essential oils (Cedarwood, cypress, and vetiver) to calm down your root chakra during anxiety. As root chakra energy is red in color, you can surround yourself with red color flowers, wear red dresses or have the visualization in the red background to infuse more energy into your root chakra. 

What crystals are best for root chakra healing?

Red jasper is associated with stability, security, and groundedness. It can balance aggressive, dynamic energy. Thus, it is the best crystal to heal your root chakra. Alternatively, you can also try garnet, carnelian, or agate crystals known to bear similar energy.
