Manifesting is a lot more than just wishing and wishing for something to happen and hoping that it does.
When you manifest correctly, it’s because you have done the healing work required to live your life on this planet in the way you truly desire.
In a way that actually aligns with who you are – mind, body, and soul.
It’s not just about identifying a desire and making a vision board or creating affirmations.
If it were that simple, everyone would be happy living the life of their dreams!
You certainly can have everything that you desire in life! You can 100% turn your dreams into reality, I promise!
The Universe is limitless, and you are a limitless being residing within it, BUT (and it’s a big one) you must clear the blocks that stop you from allowing your desires to flow into your life.
Blocks like the belief that you are unworthy of true happiness and abundance.
Blocks like the belief that you have to follow a path that someone else decided was best for you instead of pursuing your passions and finding your purpose.
The Root Chakra is vital to all of this. It’s grounding, centering energy helps us go full steam ahead in the direction we choose.
The root chakra is associated with survival instincts. It is our most foundational chakra, the first energy center on the ladder.
Its color is red, and it rules over the lower half of our body, our genitals, lower back, kidneys, and lower spine.
When your root chakra is clear, balanced, and healthy it provides the best support system from which you can build your life.
Think of a tree’s roots and how crucial they are to the survival of that tree, or the base of a house and how important it is to get the structure and foundation right before building more.
It is the same with the root chakra. When you are firmly rooted, you have a strong and stable anchor in the world and you can go forth and manifest your best life.
You feel empowered, confident, dynamic, and purposeful. You feel secure in your identity and ready to take on life.
You are connected to Mother Earth and have a powerful sense of vitality and willpower, an energy to create and live life.
But if your roots are unstable, weak or ungrounded you cannot create from that energy.
You may feel angry, scared and anxious about money and material things.
You may have physical symptoms in the area this chakra rules over such as bladder problems, constipation and fatigue.
You may be very emotionally tense, worrying constantly and holding onto deep insecurity.
Some of the negative energies that have accumulated in your root chakra may have been present since childhood.
It’s very normal for all of us to be a little unbalanced in our lower chakra.
The problem is that many people see spiritual work as only related to the higher chakras, the crown, the third eye, etc.
It’s simply not true, as I hope to have explained here.
Having a healthy root chakra is so vital to your life and your manifesting abilities. Without it, you won’t fully achieve what you set out to do.
Here are some of the proven ways that you can balance and heal your root chakra.
Connect With The Earth
Eat more whole, plant-based foods (fruit, vegetables, nuts, and seeds).
Be in nature as much as possible, walk among the trees, sit or stand barefoot on the grass, allow the sunlight to touch your bare skin.
Hug a tree, talk to a plant – just connect more with the natural world and less with technology and distractions.
This will reconnect your vibration with the earth itself.
Use Red Crystals
You can meditate with or wear these crystals to tap into the energy of your first chakra center: Red Jasper, Garnet, Ruby, Bloodstone, Smoky Quartz.
Cultivate Security Within
Practice self-reliance and boost your self-esteem.
If you usually depend on others for advice, try making your own decisions instead of needing others to validate or approve of you.
Morning Meditation
Practice sitting quietly and feeling the energy of the ground coming up from your root chakra and filling that center with brilliant red light.
Allow 5-10 minutes to do this every morning as you begin your day. It will help you to feel centered and calm.
Essential Oil Blends
The benefits of aromatherapy are incredible.
These oils alone or blended with a carrier oil can be used to rub onto your body directly through massage or diffused in your home.
Try Frankincense, Patchouli, and Sandalwood. These are strong, earthy tones that are perfectly aligned with the grounding energy you need.
Exercise and Movement
Physical exertion through running, walking or cycling can really help you clear any stuck energy and release any stagnant emotions.
There are some wonderful yoga practices that really work on the root chakra also.
Try yoga poses that boost a feeling of groundedness such as yogic squats, mountain pose, wide-legged forward fold and seated meditations.
Finally, I recommend checking in with your limiting beliefs around material things, and anything related to money and security.
You can make an honest list of where you feel you need to work on changing beliefs and remind yourself every day that you have the power to make the breakthroughs you dream of.
Opening, clearing, and healing your root chakra is essential to manifesting.
Do what you can to activate the energy flow there and work on feeling connected and grounded first.
The world is waiting for you to create magic in it!
