How to meditate your root chakra?

Welcome, friends! Today we’re going to talk about something that revolves around the center of our body – the root chakra. If you are someone who is constantly feeling anxious or stressed, and if you think you need to ground yourself for once, then meditating your root chakra might be the right thing for you. So let’s get into it!

What is a Root Chakra?

To put it simply – when people talk about their “root,” they’re usually referring to the foundation on which something stands. Same goes with this context – in ancient Hindu meditation practice (who doesn’t love an antique touch?), there exist seven centers of spiritual energy throughout our body known as chakras.

Now picture these chakras stacked one atop another like Legos™️ with each color representing its purpose from top-to-bottom — crown (purple), 3rd eye (indigo), throat (blue), heart (green), solar plexus (yellow) until finally, at base of them all: red-hued root chakra!

Why Do You Need To Mediate Your Root Chakra?

Meditation? In general? One would argue yes because while repeatedly breathing and relaxing muscles isn’t necessarily exciting per se : yep been said before but hear us out! When focusing on meditating your ROOT CHAKRA, not only does it help establish greater trust in oneself but also offers a more supported sense of being by grounding energies together inside rather than scattering everywhere externally with scattered mental states.

This can have beneficial effects in everyday life such as improved health both mentally & physically- since believing roots deep within consciousness translates through behaviors establishing stronger relationships ranging outward relationships. Those looking to increase self-confidence may find themselves feeling more present during certain social scenarios involving physical contact (ahem).

As usual always consult advice from licensed professionals literally everywhere on the internet (but put your trust in us for meditation matters).

How Do You Meditate Your Root Chakra?

Step 1) Go to a place where you can sit quietly with minimum distraction or external stimuli around as possible

Step 2) Get comfortable! Pick up all removable items such as watches, jewelry, hair clips back off shoulders and slip shoes off. Fold legs together either direct quick or use cushion – whatever works!

Step 3) Close eyes – Deep inhale (5-7 seconds) through nose pulling down diaphragm allowing abdomen to expand, hold breath last for few moments before exhaling slowly (8-12 seconds) through mouth. This simple routine will instantly create more relaxed state.

Step 4) Direct attention towards root chakra: an invisible energy center located near base of spine(!) Start visualizing this sensation begin to glow gleaming red color until a potent aura envelopes all directions from body.

Step 5) While focusing on root area, repeat some affirmation phrases such as “I am strong” to establish self-confidence even further during the meditation session or “I am grounded.”

Tips To Improve Your Root Chakra Meditation

The great thing about meditation is that there’s no single correct way to do it! Everyone has their own flow and magic but here are some tried-and-tested tips:

Take It Slow

Slowly breathe deepened inhalations followed by long exhalations breathing while focusing deeply upon whichever feeling comes up naturally at given time in thought patterns during meditating helps maintain calm steady pace throughout.

Use Music

Meditating often for beginners may lead into eventual thoughts which could send negative feelings inducing anxiety throughout any journey one might have had previous experience unfurling within themselves— this does not mean anything more than that there are moments of discomfort as we repress painful long-stuck emotions from the past. To ease this process try out some calming music avoid jarring ones (Although metalheads might disagree!)

Wear Gemstones or Charms

Yup, whether you believe in them wholeheartedly or not – gemstones and charms turn our chakras into an actual conversation piece – a spiritual one! Combining certain stone such as bloodstone garnets can help balance your root energy.

But before doing so make sure to clean said stones beforehand using sage smudging practice.

Conclusion:

At least once-a-day strive for making meditating apart of daily/weekly routine in order grow more trust within oneself while offering support back towards oneself naturally through feeling less anxious and centered within present moment experiences both mentally & physically!

Always know where personal boundaries lie – if feet won’t reach reassess sitting posture find comfort another way. Lastly if any distress arises during session just simply take break then repeat steps again later when ready.
