The root chakra is tied to our survival instincts and connection to the Earth. It’s located at the base of the spine and is red. Each chakra spins at a different rate and the first chakra spins the slowest. The kundalini energy is coiled in your root chakra also.

Characteristics of the First Chakra

Your desire to live relates to the first chakra. Because it’s tied to our survival instincts, a feeling of lack means you may experiencing an imbalanced root chakra. Being afraid you won’t make rent in time or have enough food to eat are signs of an imbalanced chakra. Of course if this is a reality, then you may have limiting beliefs which are keeping you from living an abundant life. In Wayne Dyer’s book, Inspiration, he says he’s financially well off because he always knew he’d be wealthy. He says he is money.


It’s important to keep the root chakra balanced because it’s the “roots” of the rest of the chakras. Like the roots of a tree, they must be strong in order to sustain the rest of the tree. Create a strong base and the rest will follow. Your hips, legs, feet, circulatory, skeletal, kidneys, and muscular system are tied to your root chakra.

Is Your Root Chakra Healthy?

Here’s a small questionnaire to answer related to your root chakra:

•Do you dislike your feet and legs?
•Are you experiencing pain in the hips, lower back, legs or feet?
• Do you feel strongly about the color red whether it’s one of your least favorite or most favorite colors?
• Are you passionate?
• If you get angry, is your first reaction rage or aggression?
• Do you get angry easily?
• Do you often feel a loss of energy or inertia?
• Are money issues a concern?
• Have you experienced feelings of powerlessness or fear?
If you answered yes to a majority of the questions, your root chakra is in need of healing.

Energize the Root Chakra

Drumming, dancing, and jogging help to balance this chakra. Dances that require you to stomp your feet on the ground work well for this chakra. Think of tribal type dancing. Belly dancing is also great to energize all the chakras. During my goddess workshops, I get the women doing a fun sacred dance that’s specifically for opening the root chakra. This dance requires you to do a lot of squatting with slow movements.

Reiki healing is also great to bring the chakras into balance. Look for a practitioner near your home!

Eat foods high in protein or take mineral supplements. Because your root chakra is your grounding center, if you’re ungrounded you may feel “spacey.” Of course you should always eat a balanced diet so don’t overdo it on the protein.

Release energies from your first chakra by writing down your emotions on a piece of paper and symbolically burn it away.

Yoga Pose for First Chakra

Warrior 1

Stand with legs apart to create a triangle of equal sides with the ground. Standing in this pose alone generates a lot of heat. You’ll be surprised. Make sure to keep breathing normally.

Stretch your arms out to the sides and turn your left foot outwards. Exhale as you bend your left knee while keeping the right leg straight. When you reach a position where you could be sitting on an imaginary chair, stop.

Hold this pose for three counts. Come back to center. Then repeat on the right side.

Crystal Healing

Crystals are very effective for cleansing and balancing the chakras. For your root chakra, you want to use red or black stones. Some of these include- red jasper, garnet, hematite, or black tourmaline.

Carry them in your pocket because that’s near your root chakra. Place them under your pillow at night. Make sure to cleanse the stones when you bring them home. Use sage or incence and cleanse them with the smoke. You can also bury them in the Earth for a few days. When they’re cleansed, charge them with your energy. Hold them in your right hand and set your intention into the stone.

Root Chakra Meditation

Imagine your root chakra is connected to the center of the earth. Then visualize healing energy coming up from the Earth into your root chakra. Then see your first chakra filling with brilliant red light and expelling all the negative energy out of your body. Then draw up a surge of energy and watch it pass through your body out of your crown chakra into a fountain of a colorful rainbow. Use healing candles to assist you in your meditation.

You may also place the stone of your choice on your root chakra as you lay on your back. Then visualize your body absorbing the energies from the stone.

Heal the Heart Chakra

Return to Spiritual and Alternative Healing

Do you feel depressed or unhappy?

Are you a compassionate person?

If you answered: “Yes,” “No,” “Of course!” Things are looking good with your heart chakra! If your answers were more like: “Not really,” “Yes,” “Not so much.” There’s some work to be done.

Your heart chakra is where love and compassion are centered. It’s your fourth chakra and it bridges of all your other chakras.

Your three chakras below the heart are related to the Earth while the three above the heart are related to the spiritual world.

Awakening Compassion

A nice meditation to practice to feel compassion is to see the world through the heart. It’s very powerful and instantly lifts the spirit. Imagine your head doesn’t exist. Place your focus on your heart instead. I’ve done this meditation while I’ve been stuck in traffic and it’s amazing at how quickly my frustration disappears. It took me trying it a couple of times until I felt the difference.

Practice it tonight. Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, and focus on your heart. Maybe you’ll feel a softening in your mood or possibly sadness leaving your body.

Then to end your meditation, send love and light to anybody or everybody you know. Send some loving light to the entire world! I thank you in advance if you decide to do this.

Heal the Heart Chakra

The heart is probably one of the most wounded areas. (Other than toes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stubbed my toes!) Healing the heart chakra may be one of the top desires for most people. Depending on the situation or problem, you may be experiencing many levels of pain. It’s going to take these five things to heal the heart chakra:

Time

Healing takes time. There’s no definite timeline, of course, since everybody is different. The amount of work you put into it determines the results. You may have a few layers that need uncovering. You don’t know until you begin digging. Faster results are possible through hypnosis or theta healing.

Forgiveness

A lot of time we hold anger, resentment, fear, or guilt in our hearts. Forgiveness means letting go. Whether you’re holding resentment against yourself or another, it’s time to release it to begin healing.

Awareness

Healing requires you to look within and to become aware of your feelings and thoughts. What are you healing? Is it a recent death, break-up, or abuse? If you’re not quite sure where the pain is coming from, do a little meditation. Close your eyes and place your focus on your heart chakra. What thoughts arise? What feelings arise? You may discover things you had no idea existed.

Acceptance

Accept healing. Be open to receiving love and definitely be open to loving yourself! Many times people are used to being depressed and don’t know how to feel happiness. As a result, they don’t really work on making the change or they fear change. In order to heal the heart, you’re going to have to want to and accept the changes as they come.

Love Yourself

Sounds contradictory, right? It’s really not. Use mantras to affirm that you love yourself. Visualize healing loving light coming down from the universe and entering through your crown chakra. watch it fill up your heart chakra and feel the love. Ask the universe to know what it feels like to love yourself. Think of this analogy. How does a dark room get filled with light? It takes light entering the room in order to remove the darkness. That’s what you’re doing. You’re removing the darkness by adding love.

Kwan Yin

Kwan Yin is the Goddess of Love and Compassion. Meditate to her so she could help clear the way for healing and love to enter your life. Learn more about Kwan Yin and the meditation kit I made specifically for her. With the tools in the kit, expect better results during your meditation.

Heart Chakra

Let’s look over the stats of the fourth chakra:

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz or Emerald are fantastic stones to wear when dealing with matters of the heart. I wear rose quartz as a pendant, but wearing bracelets or simply carrying them in pouches near you is just as effective.

Rose Oil

Wear Rose oil to bring balance to your heart chakra.

Pink or Green

Notice a theme here? Pink and green are colors of the heart chakra. Wear these colors whenever you need to feel some love. Imagine yourself surrounded by a pink blanket. Feel yourself absorbing the energy.

Balancing the Crown Chakra

Balance the Solar Plexus

Return to Spiritual and Alternative Healing

The crown chakra is your key to the realms beyond the physical universe. When I do Theta Healing I take my energy out from my crown chakra and connect with the universal life force. When you’re fully grounded, you should imagine a white light entering your crown charka and running down your body through your root chakra into the center of the earth.

Your crown chakra is your connection to the universal sources of energy and information. When ideas pop into your head out of no where, chances are they came from your higher self or possibly the collective unconscious. If you’re not receiving much feedback, it’s time to unclog the top chakra. Basically the crown chakra allows you to live harmoniously with the universe.

Balancing the Crown Chakra

Meditate to get an answer in your life. Your answer may not come the first night. Sit and make sure you’re free from distractions. Pose a question, and wait for something to come to you. You may get an image, words, a thought, or an idea. If it seems like you’re daydreaming, you probably are. Just allow the thoughts to float into your head and witness them one by one.

Try healing candles during your meditation. They’re infused with Reiki healing energy to enhance the meditation.

Step outside yourself. This is similar to the meditation exercise, but using a slight variation. Pose a question then watch yourself step above your body through your crown chakra. Keep the question in mind, then allow your floating self to answer it spontaneously.

Yoga

The downward dog helps to balance the energy from the feet to the crown.

Begin by getting on all fours. Make sure your hands are aligned perfectly with your shoulders and keep your fingers stretched.

Breathe in, lift your pelvis, straighten your legs, and keep your head low.

Breathe normally while you’re in this posture, but try to maintain your feet flat on the ground.

When you’re ready to release from this position, breath out, then lower yourself back on all fours.

Colors, Scents, and Crystals

You can use violet, gold or white to represent the crown chakra. I like to imagine white energy when I’m clearing out my crown. Use clear quartz or amethyst when performing crystal healing. Place the stone on the top of your head and allow yourself to absorb the healing energies.

Amethyst is also a great stone for your third eye.

Lotus

Use natural essential oils whenever you feel you need to balance that chakra.
