Feel a Deep Sense of Belonging by Enlivening Your Root Chakra

You are bigger than you think you are, and part of life’s adventure is discovering your bigness. Guess what happens when you embody more of who you are?

• You feel centered and grounded and empowered.

• You experience clarity, and new realizations and creative ideas and solutions come to you.

• You align with what is right for you.

• You express and take action as your Soulful Self.

• You experience a greater love.

• And, your nervous system stabilizes.

The Root Chakra is an energy center located at the base of the spine, and it’s all about fully feeling a deep sense of belonging in this world. It’s about claiming and owning your life experience. It’s a feeling of, “I’m here. This is my life, dammit. And I bring what I choose to experience.”

A person with an enlivened and balanced Root Chakra experiences high physical energy and optimal physical health. Imbalances in the Root Chakra include symptoms of poor general health, adrenal fatigue and lacking vital energy, osteoarthritis, mental lethargy and spaciness, and an incapacity for inner stillness.

Anytime you bring your awareness inward, it anchors you and grounds you in your body. It gives your mind a pause, keeps you present, and gives you access to Infinite Intelligence. And who doesn’t enjoy that?!

I’ve found that you can enliven your Root Chakra with any of the following practices:

• Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles.
• Walk barefoot on the earth.
• Take an ice bath or cold shower.
• Conscious breathing.
• Massage your feet.
• Listen to drumming.
• Write in your journal.
• Wash your hands in cold water.
• Walk in nature.
• Enjoy yoga, dance, or any other activity where you bring your attention onto your physical body.

Natasha Davidson – enlivening her Root Chakra!

While you don’t have to go as far as doing an ice bath in order to enliven your Root Chakra, I’ve found that it’s an incredible way to really anchor my consciousness in the core of my body!

I invite you to play with any activity that brings your awareness inward so that you can perceive the bigness of who you are. I’ve learned that just like a big oak tree, you have to root to rise. The more you establish energetic roots to ground and stabilize, the more you rise and expand and flourish. And as it turns out, you’ll find that your robust presence will have a great influence on those around you.
