10 Ways To Clear Your Root Chakra

Maybe
you’re going through a hard time or feeling anxious, insecure, or vulnerable.
Perhaps you just feel you can’t let your guard down or are finding it hard to
relax. Or Sometimes the knocks of life can just throw us out of whack. Sometimes
when we feel out-of-sorts or a little unsettled in this way it can be helpful
to clear and balance our root chakra. The root
chakra is the first of the seven chakras. And it can be the key to
feeling grounded, safe, and secure in the world. Clearing
and balancing your root chakra can help you relax, feel calmer and more secure,
and let go of some of those underlying fears you might be holding onto.
When you feel deeply secure, you can turn your attention to more exciting
things such as your relationships, your creativity and art, your dreams for
your career, ongoing learning, expanding your spiritual development, dyeing
your hair blue, buying yourself a parrot – the possibilities are endless! One really
great thing is that you don’t have to be a trained energy healer to begin
working to heal your own chakras. Of course, it can help to get treatment
from a professional energy healer, or come along to one of our courses (we’d
love you to do that anyway!). But there are many easy, down-to-earth,
even fun things that you can do yourself to give your chakras a “tune-up.” Here are 10
easy, effective things that you can do to really help you balance and ground
that root-chakra! What is
the Root Chakra?
The first or ‘root’ chakra is located at the base of the spine. It’s
keyword is “survival.” It relates to self-preservation, survival
instincts, our connection to our bodies and the element of the earth, and our
sense of safety, security, and belonging in the world. Is Your
First Chakra Healthy or Blocked? If you have a healthy root chakra you will feel a basic
sense of security and safety in the world. You are well-grounded and the
practical side of your life will usually function fairly smoothly. You
will have a sense of having ‘enough’ of everything you need to meet your needs.
You will likely be fairly at ease with your own body and mostly, though not
always, your body will be relatively healthy physically. If your
first chakra is out-of-balance or ‘blocked’ then you may feel overly fearful
about security and survival. Perhaps you sometimes experience extreme
anxiety, or panic attacks. This might also effect your physical body, and manifest
itself in issues with your bones, feet, legs, colon, elimination, or
weight. Or maybe, as sometimes happens, you have become overly practical,
plodding through your life and have lost your ability dream or imagine. The
Healthy Chakra A healthy chakra is open, allowing energy to flow freely
both horizontally, in an exchange of energy with the universe, and vertically,
connecting it with the other chakras. It’s very
common, at one stage or another in our lives, to have one or more chakras that are
somewhat blocked or just out of balance. And an under-functioning chakra
can cause disruptions in a person’s body, mind, spirit, and life. 10 Ways to
Clear and Balance Your Root Chakra If you feel you could perhaps benefit from clearing your
first chakra, there are many simple every-day things that you can do.
Here are ten ideas:
