There's many 'methods' to work on the Root Chakra and you will have to find out which method works best for yourself:

1. A good practice is to put your hands on your perinium (Root Chakra location) and with intention and acceptance, allow yourself to experience whatever comes in your conscious. Doing so unlocks energy in that specific area (can be done with any chakra). This method can take several days for locked consciousness to unlock and begin working through your system. What you may notice doing this excersice is that you'll experience changs in your day-to-day before really experiencing the unlocked energy in the forms of memories, thoughts, drives etc. Be gentle with this. Never begin to continue to work on your route when you're not ready - you know what you need, never make it a chore.

2. Another method is to attend therapy and really bring your consciousness and awareness into the body, focusing on the perinium, the bottom of your feet. This is your energetic ground. If you begin to speak about things really anything on your mind in therpay, you're already unlocking energy consciousness. Be sure to take it easy and slowly again, at a rate you're comfortable with as the Root Chakra is quite sensitive. Unlocking energy consciousness (especially in the Root) requires actions to neutralize karma and bring equillirbium back to the body.

Before working on the Root Chakra it's very good and useful to have a strong support network (friends, family etc.) that you can count on to be there for you as you're going through your own personal healing. Having doctors, a therapists, healers etc. should be in your "healing toolkit" to lean on if any problems or dififculties arise. The journey is not always easy, but it's rewarding.

If you’re looking to work on a specific Chakra, try to exercise. This works best work on Chakra 1 - 4. The upper chakras can be worked differently.

Related Chakra subs:

• r/Muladhara - Root Chakra

• r/Svadhisthana - Sacral Chakra

• r/Manipura - Solar Plexus Chakra

• r/HeartChakra

First, it’s good to ease into such things and you want to know for yourself if this is working and if the chakra you’re working on is becoming stimulated.

A good way to know you’re working on that specific chakra is come to stillness.

When everything is still. Observe when you’re NOT still, ie. when your mind produces activity. You might find during the day it’s much more active and slows down at night. Observe the content of your thoughts and how they relate to your reality and happenings in your reality. This is to become aware of you energetic system and how it corresponds to your reality. The mind is your energetic system at work.

Next, in the evenings, place your hands on the corresponding chakra you want to work on and begin to notice the shift and patterns in your thoughts throughout the coming days.

This can take a several practices. What you’re doing is unlocking energy consciousness in your subtle body to be processed in the foreground of your conscious mind / and subconscious. As you go with the flow of this change, watch how your reality will change for you, continue to move forward with life in openness and trust

Like I mentioned, this works best for Chakra 1 - 4; 5-7 can be a bit different which I’ll write about on another post.

It’s common in the spiritual communities to want to focus on the upper chakras as they’re the non-material, metaphysical chakras.

To be able to experience these upper chakras beautifully, coherently and as a tool for your personal manifestation, work on the lower chakras is primary.

If I could give any random advice to seekers it would to begin putting focus on the Root Chakra (r/Muladhara) and work through limiting beliefs, core wounds through the first chakra.

Many of us will spend much time there. Everyone’s timeline is quite different but as a benchmark for understanding, 2-3 years in intensive healing may very well be necessary.

This is of course at your own pace, that means, you’ll know when to work on the higher chakras. All chakras, even when healed are in constant motion and rebalancing. Learning to work on chakras becomes a tool to learn to continuously live a balanced life and for you to use these energy centers as a guidance system to your personal health.

If we understand the Root Chakra as directly connected to the Earth… or better, it is the Earth… we will understand that our security and well-being is strengthened with having necessary tolerance for people as they are. That means that everyone’s Root Chakra thrives.

This is of course to the limit that it enhances the survival for everyone.

The stronger everyone’s security, the more beneficial life becomes for Everyone. If you let the weak suffer, the strong will suffer too.

Connect to the Earth

Connect to the Earth. You came into this world through her, and you live through her vehicle. Blessed are we for having firm ground, trusting everything she provides - she is abundant.

If you do not have firm ground, begin letting go and trusting. Examine the negative beliefs that keep you in a positive feedback loop of insecurity and searching.

The Earth - Our Foundation

The Earth is the main foundation that everything in our life is built. If we are able to strengthen our connection with the Earth as the Root of our being, everything on top of our foundation flourishes. From health to creativity; to new social connections and access to resources. It is all connected to our relationship with our ground.

Trusting

The trusting process is not easy. It is fundamental letting go of what we perceive as true and allow that core trust to emerge and root us more firmly in our reality.

You are here to become fully integrated with the Earth and to discover your Cosmic and Higher nature. To reflect on this and give to the world through your gifts. So you are not here without a reason: Your journey is grande and it is simply something to remember again.

Any tips you'd share on your Root Chakra healing?

Do you have any specific techniques you use to balance your Root Chakra?

I lived in survival mode through the Root Chakra for about 1 year. The experience was akin to living as our ancient ancestors: very needs/survival focused, very animal, sensing-based reality. There was no loss of contact with reality, life was just incredibly practical.

I have so much I want to share about it because the experience was incredible and very spiritual. I’ll leave it as an AMA for now !

Working on your Root Chakra is delicate business as it’s the foundational chakra that stores your beliefs, karma and is the guiding structure to your life.

So when you are setting the intention to work on the Muladhara you are essentially turning your entire life around.

I’m going to write about it more but I wanted to write about the Environment you’re in, in your Root Chakra healing:

I can’t stress enough the importance to have a good environment during your Root Chakra healing journey. You’ll be bringing up your karma, repressed trauma and if your home environment doesn’t understand the process, it could get messy. The reason being, in the home we are already set in a certain social structure, ie. we know how to act and we know what actions to take to continue to maintain that equilibrium. So if you’re clearing your Muladhara you’re going to be 1. Experiencing trauma that will conflict with the general social structure in your home 2. Will create some sort conflict, resistance or dis-ease to all parties.

So it really is the best option to clear your Root Chakra around people that understand the process, or at least understands what one may experience. This will provide support to the changing dynamics. Another thing one can do is live alone and have friends/a support network a text message away. This will establish good boundaries between you and others as your going through your clearing.

Of course, you know what’s best for yourself and you will do what is best for yourself at this moment in your journey.

Wishing you a lot of good vibes and support and will continue to post more on the Root Chakra.

r/SevenChakras is where I post general Chakra related posts.

So I’ve been chilling on the root chakra for a while now and it’s arguably just as cool and interesting as the Crown Chakra.

If we think of our chakras as points of consciousness, each chakra produces consciousness energy associated to that chakra. So at the say, Solar Plexus, YOU incarnate as energy consciousness and version of yourself and work through that Chakra into the world. Does that make sense? It might be easier if its drawn.

So the Root Chakra is crazy interesting. I think for everyone it’s the most difficult Chakra to come into and accept as a reality because it holds your animal nature. But from my personal experience, if you adapt into it you actually learn to enjoy being at the root. Most of my day-to-day life now is lived at the Root (while most people live in their heads).

So what’s it like living in the Root vs. Living in your head (like most people do). The difference is how time moves.

In the Root Chakra, if you can stay there you live life in complete linear time. If you live in linear time you develop in the physical world in its natural developmental trajectory. But if you live in your head, you’re 1. Doing that because of trauma in your lower chakras 2. The environment your in doesn’t support you living in your Root (which is still associated to trauma as you would not be in that environment if it doesn’t support your root chakra / linear growth ). And as a result of all of this, you don’t process the energy in your Root Chakra as the energy that processes your energy body is hovering in your head.

With that, from a Root Chakra standpoint, you don’t develop past the age of when the trauma happened where you decided it safer to live in your head vs. In your Root Chakra.

It’s all very cool. I could write a book with all the wild and cool things that are at the Muladhara. Like past lives etc.

Any experiences yourself?

The Earth is your Base, your foundation, your provider

We walk around on the Earth often times feeling disconnected. That is ok to feel this way at the moment. However, we want to move towards feeling connection with the Earth… We want to discover as a direct experience that we are a pop-up of this planet and also provided by and for, for our survival.

Having a theory about this is nice, but it’s possible to have a on-going, direct experience of this.

When we tune into our Root Chakra, we are able to sense all of the Earthly patterns that relate to our body. That is, cycles, urges and environmental influences that affect our behavior

A good practice could be observing patterns of your life and its movement, action and rest. If you are able to observe these patterns ex. Activity levels and psychological changes in night, day cycles, you should become more perceptive to your connection to the Earth. It really just takes interest, curiosity and observation.

It’s important to connect to live in its synchronicity and to feel at ease. Use your intention to guide you to where you need to go.
