108 Root Chakra Affirmations: Feel Grounded & Safe Now
How will root chakra affirmations benefit you?
Well, you’ve probably heard the expression that we’re meant to not only survive, but thrive.
If you have a tense relationship with your base chakra, that’s out of the question. This chakra tethers us to our body, the physical instrument of our human experience.
In this post, you’ll learn the signs of whether your first chakra is healthy or imbalanced. You’ll also find root chakra healing affirmations to nourish this essential energy center to use any time.
Let’s begin.
What is a Chakra?
Chakras are viewed as part of our subtle, or energetic, body.
Though you don’t necessarily see the energy, it’s constantly interacting with your physical body, an integral part of the complete picture of you.
We have numerous chakras, but seven are most prominent. The root chakra is considered the first chakra.
Chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, India’s ancient and revered language. Your chakras are spinning centers, or wheels, or energy.
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine, and the other six have their fixed points going up the spinal column until you reach the seventh at the top of your head.
While each chakra governs specific areas of life and energy, they work as a team and must be maintained.
So, let’s focus on the root chakra’s unique role.
Balanced Root Chakra Energy
Also known as muladhara in Sanskrit, meaning “root” itself, the first chakra develops while we’re still in the womb until we’re 12 months old.
This is when we physically join the world. Relying entirely on others for survival, we learn whether we feel welcome in the world, and whether to trust our right to be here.
This is the root chakra’s area of life: safety, security, grounding, deservingness.
If your basic needs are met reliably, lovingly and safely, your root chakra’s energy shows up like this:
Good health
General trust in the world
Financial prosperity (doesn’t have to mean rich)
Feeling safe and secure
At ease with relaxing and stillness
Stability
Feeling the right to exist, to have, & take up space
Grounded
Feeling comfortable in your body
Good boundaries
If you feel anxious or uncomfortable reading items on this list, it is likely worth working to strengthen your root chakra energy.
The root chakra is represented by the earth element. If you want to nourish its energy, you might do things to reconnect you with the solidity of your body. This could be physical movement, spending time in nature, or receiving physical touch like massages.
Associated with the color red, you might incorporate it more into your life through clothing, decor, or doing a root chakra meditation. To meditate, sit with eyes closed, breathe into the base of your spine, and envision a healthy, red glow there.
Now, we’ll see how we’re affected when this chakra’s energy is excessive or deficient.
Root Chakra Overactive Symptoms
The root chakra deeply affects your physical relationship to and experience of the world.
When this chakra is overactive, the issue is not feeling disconnected from physical securities, but too anchored. You may hold onto resources too tightly, exhibiting tendencies of greed, hoarding, or fixating on material gain.
You may overly fear change, or anything else that feels like a threat to your stability. Your sense of boundaries, then, can be far too rigid.
Physically, the root chakra in excess appears as overeating, fatigue, laziness or sluggishness.
Each chakra functions with certain parts of the body. If you experience any of with the following, perhaps working with your root chakra can bring some relief:
Issues with bones or teeth (our most solid parts)
Bowel, anus, or large intestine disorders
Problems with lower half of body
Eating disorders (usually indicates deficiency)
Frequently sick
So, what does a deficient root chakra look like?
Signs Your Root Chakra is Blocked or Deficient
First, the term “blocked” related to chakras isn’t fully accurate. The chakras are always in motion; it’s just a question of how little or how much.
The opposite problems occur for those with deficiency. Rather than the heavy, stagnant qualities of the overactive root chakra, the underactive state takes on a restless, anxious form.
You’re more likely to be underweight and have possibly experienced an eating disorder. This is because you’re cut off from feeling the right to be here and to have, so this mindset is projected onto the body itself.
You may live mostly in your head, with all your energy having been pushed to the upper, abstract chakras. Disconnected from the stability of being grounded and present in your body, there is often difficulty with focus, organization and discipline.
Since there is a disconnect between mind and body, deficiency also shows up as financial struggle.
Do you ever feel like you can never get ahead, that you’re always having to play catch up? If it’s not regular bills, it’s housing, or healthcare, or transportation, or jobs.
You must have a solid foundation upon which to grow. You must believe that you’re worthy of having your survival needs met. Until then, meeting those needs will remain exhausting.
Whether you’re showing signs of excess, deficiency, or some of both, the positive affirmations here will be a valuable addition to your selfcare practice.
How to Use Affirmations for Root Chakra Healing
Positive affirmations are essentially a rewiring of your brain. By repeating a new thought enough, you can actually eliminate old thought patterns.
Positive affirmations are a great go-to when you need a quick positive boost or to redirect your current thoughts.
Depending on how deeply embedded a belief or thought is, using positive affirmations will take time to permanently replace them.
They can be read, spoken, listened to, or written down. It is recommended to make this a daily practice, even if only for a few minutes.
You might listen to them on the way to work, journal them as part of your evening wind down, or pick a handful to say to yourself when you notice old, negative thoughts occurring. Implement them in the most natural way for your schedule.
Here are your 108 positive affirmations.
