Have you been feeling unmotivated lately? If you answered “yes,” it may be time to heal your root chakra. The root chakra, also known as Muladhara, is the first of seven chakras located at the base of your spine. Think of the root chakra like the roots of a tree. This chakra grounds you to the earth and helps you feel safe and secure. When the root chakra is blocked or imbalanced, it can put everything out of alignment. If you’re looking to heal your energy, take a deep breath because we’ve put together a list of the best ways you can open and balance your root chakra.

Follow a guided meditation.

  1. Heal vulnerabilities with a few moments of silence. The root chakra helps you feel safe and secure, and when it’s blocked or imbalanced, you may feel insecure. A guided, healing meditation focused on visualization can help you feel more grounded in your mind, body, and spirit. Try this meditation the next time you feel low:[2]
    • Find a nice, quiet space to sit and close your eyes.
    • Focus on your breaths, particularly how they fill your belly. If any thoughts come up, acknowledge them but let them pass.
    • Imagine a warm red light glowing at the base of your spine. With each breath, this light grows.
    • Send the red light up your spine and through your body, feeling its warmth under your skin.
    • When the light reaches your head and leaves your body, open your eyes and focus on how you feel.

Whisper positive affirmations to yourself.

  1. Heal the root chakra with the words “I am. How you talk to yourself matters, especially when it comes to feeling secure. You can empower your energy and heal the root chakra by talking positively to yourself. This is a simple way to boost your self-esteem and mood. Try saying these mantras the next time you feel stuck or unmotivated:[9]
    • “I am strong.”
    • “I am capable.”
    • “I am worthy of love.”
    • “I am moving at a pace that is right for me.”
    • “I am proud of everything I have accomplished.”
