“When we develop the heart chakra, we begin to influence the surroundings with our spiritual presence. When we develop the communication chakra, we begin to influence the country with our spiritual presence. And when we develop the seventh chakra, we begin to influence the world with our spiritual presence without doing anything.” ~ Swami Dhyan Giten
What is the Root Chakra?
The Root Chakra, or 'Muldahara' in Sanskrit, is a center of energy located at the base of the spine. It develops in our early years and is responsible for grounding us and providing a solid foundation for life.
This greatly impacts our sense of stability, resilience, and security. When functioning correctly, the root chakra gives us the inner strength to overcome life's greatest challenges. So, I guess you could say it's pretty important!
What are Root Chakra Affirmations?
Affirmations are positive sentences that are repeated aloud, or even written, to reinforce the uplifting and inspiring message. Repeated over and over, affirmations eliminate negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones.
Root chakra affirmations are mantras that open the root chakra, with an emphasis on grounding, connection with the earth, and emotional and mental security.
When the root chakra is open and functioning correctly, it gives us a sense of balance, peace, and security. So it is incredibly important that we keep it working at its best at all times. Additionally, the root chakra, being the first to form, impacts the health of the other six chakras, which is why it is often referred to as the 'base chakra'.
How to Use Root Chakra Affirmations
You should practice this while meditating, or just sitting down and relaxing. We recommend getting yourself into a comfortable position, eyes closed and sitting upright, and repeating any of the below mantras that resonate with you.
Repeat them 5-10 times. More if necessary. The key is to repeat until you feel the word resonating throughout your body and spirit.
These Root Chakra affirmations will be most effective if you repeat them daily, at least for a few days.
Every man is the builder of a Temple called his body, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. -Henry David Thoreau

If we do, we will regain our sense of belonging, and live life as confidently and comfortably as we were destined to.
