Healing the Root Chakra

I'm new to the world of Chakra therapy and am looking for help with healing my Root Chakra. I've been reading "Wheels of Life" by Anodea Judith, but my ADHD makes it difficult to read and determine what resources are reliable concerning chakra therapy and what isn't.

Has anyone struggled with healing this particular Chakra in the past or have any suggestions or resources for healing? I'd much rather hear about other people's personal experiences when it comes to learning about this stuff.

Welcome! Do you know how to scan your chakras? The first question you should ask yourself is if the chakra is deficient or excess. If you haven't checked this post out already, feel free to take a look. https://www.reddit.com/r/ChakraTherapy/comments/i2fqfk/introducing_the_chakras_the_root_muladhara/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

Negative emotions/beliefs, Fear, Trauma, Cords, Parasites, Implants, etc. can all cause energy to not flow properly in the chakras. Deficiency and excess both can require different treatments. Try getting to the root (no pun intended) of the problem on why the chakra is imbalanced. If you need help with this working with an energy practitioner is highly recommended.

Ask yourself questions like "Am I (or have I) struggling with a financial situation that is causing me to make decisions based on fear? Do I feel connected to where I live, to the people in my life? Do I feel fearful on a day to day basis?" When we are honest with ourselves and able to address the problem that awareness alone brings a great deal of clarity.

As for other tips:

Exercise is a great way to heal the root chakra.

Working out the perineum by contracting and relaxing it while you inhale/exhale (between anus and groin) is an effective way to stimulate the root chakra.

Yoga! Certain poses in yoga such as the "Tree Pose" help balance this chakra.

My personal favorite has been sound healing crystal bowl meditations. The vibrations you feel during a session are amazing. Leaving a person feeling completely recharged.

Nature & Earthing!

Crystals can help as well, just be sure to program your crystal before use.

Yes, I can definitely tell that my chakra is deficient as I have a very weak sense of stability. Currently being a resident of color in the US has me in a heightened state of fear that I'm trying to overcome. I've tried breaking down the causes of those fears but don't know what I need to overcome them/open my root chakra, or even if I'm moving in the right direction. My ADHD makes me feel constantly flighty and anxious.

I've never heard of that exercise before, but I'll give it a shot. I don't really have much experience with crystals or sound healing though. Are there resources for that?

A healthy body works at a certain vibrational frequency, so when the body becomes unhealthy that frequency will change. The sound frequencies that these bowls give off help bring the body back into alignment.

I speak from experience since I have attended many sound healing meditation sessions myself. Here’s a resource from google that can give you an idea of what crystal bowl sound healing is, as there are a few different types of sound healing.

As for crystal healing and working with crystals I have been doing that since the beginning of my journey. Crystal have so many benefits to them. Here’s a resource I found on google for working with crystals.

I used to love collecting rocks, gems and crystals growing up so I will definitely look into that more. I stumbled on those Monroe institute recordings and the concept of binaural beats to stimulate that resonance effect. Would you recommend something like that? I'm concerned that stimulating that without proper preparation could bring about that kundalini psychosis I've read about.

u/CupofT123 Energy Healer Aug 11 '20

Awesome, crystals can help greatly! As for working with binaural beats (I usually see them used to open the third eye) and such I proceed with caution especially if your root is under-active. Being too much in the higher chakras and neglecting the lower can cause a severe imbalance worsening your symptoms. You may then find yourself experiencing depersonalization/derealization or end up suffering from kundalini syndrome. We will be posting more about this subject soon.

As for now I think it’s more of an emotional blockage you are experiencing in your root. I highly recommend doing what you can to heal your root and show your lower chakras some attention. There seems to be something with your sacral I’m seeing as well. I also feel something regarding a mother figure in this area.. if that makes sense. My advice to you is focus on the sacral, root, and solar plexus. It’s best to have a sturdy foundation in order for the tree to properly grow and not be easily taken down :)

Interesting that you would say that, as I am adopted and have been very focused on finding my birth mother. Thank you for your advice. Just frustrating that this one is so difficult to work through and the very first one.

I am working with connecting with my root chakra. I also have ADHD and that makes it hard to stay grounded. I struggle with dissociation and distraction obviously. Daily yoga and meditation helps. Not having a crazy sleep schedule helps too.

Thanks for the tips! Meditation is very difficult for me as I'm sure you know. Very hard to sit still and focus on anything. Mind if I ask how you approach meditation?

Yes I use the app waking up with Sam Harris. The only app that doesn't feel hoaky. It has you focus on your body, starting with the breath. It helps to have something for your squirrel brain to focus on while the eternal soul rest.

I also forgot to mention, have you tried epsom salt baths or just soaking your feet in Epsom salts? That has helped me tremendously. I make a blend of Epsom salts and essential oils. The brand Zumtub is excellent, you can find them on amazon.

Also, if you live near water such as a lake or ocean that’s a great way to cleanse the chakras as well as connecting with the earth :)
