Root Chakra Grounding

Materials Needed:

To Support Feeling:

Insecure

How to Do It

Sit or stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Visualize roots extending from your feet deep into the earth, anchoring you. Focus on the connection between your body and the earth, feeling supported and stable.

Why It Works

Grounding exercises that focus on the root chakra help to establish a sense of security and stability, which can counter feelings of insecurity.

Guided Practice

Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the ground. Notice any sensations of stability or restlessness without needing to change them.

Now deepen your focus with a few more breaths. Bring your awareness to the base of your spine, the location of your root chakra. Imagine a warm, red light glowing here, growing brighter and more intense with each breath. Feel the warmth and stability of this light, like a grounding force anchoring you to the earth. As you continue to breathe, visualize roots growing from the base of your spine, extending deep into the earth. Imagine these roots reaching through layers of soil, rock, and water, grounding you firmly to the earth’s core. Notice any sensations that arise—perhaps a sense of stability, a feeling of heaviness, or a gentle pulsing in your lower body. Allow yourself to stay with these sensations, exploring any familiar feelings or beliefs about stability and security. Allow this grounding practice to help you feel more connected to the earth and your own body. Notice any images or patterns arising - possibly a sense of security, or perhaps a new insight about what grounding means for you. Allow these thoughts and sensations to flow naturally, without judgment. Stay with feeling the deep connection between your body and the earth. When you feel ready, gently bring your awareness back to your breath, imagining the roots slowly retracting back into your body. Notice how your body feels now—whether there is a sense of grounding, stability, or perhaps a renewed connection to your root chakra. Allow yourself to stay with this feeling for a few more moments, enjoying the sense of being grounded. When you are ready, gently open your eyes, carrying this sense of earth connection with you into your day.
