Good morning!
Welcome to Day 2 of our Root Chakra Cleanse.
If you would like to know more, here’s the info for DAY 1 and What Are CHAKRAS. If you would like to join me in cleaning my chakras, I would love it!
Yesterday was good!
Red food, check! I incorporated cherry tomatoes and red peppers with all my meals.
Meditation, check! I meditated to binaural beats.
Yoga Child Pose, check! Did it while meditating.
Affirmation, check! I repeated “Wherever I am, I am safe and secure.”
Today we want to focus on what is causing our fears.
Fears come our childhood, home, school, religion, work stress, relationships, boats, etc. Fears stem from our inner beliefs, grudges, and unresolved pain. Take time to reflect on the root of your fears.
1. Acknowlegement: Fear
Write all of your thoughts of what ails you, angers you, scares you, write them down in a journal or talk with a trusted friend, partner or therapist. Don’t try to have correct spelling or grammar, just let it flow. You may have fear of being alone, fear of being in a relationship, fear of the dark, financial fears, housing fears, etc. I’ve had all off these at one time or another.
The Muladhara or Root Chakra is the first chakra is associated with security, safety, basic survival needs such as food, sleep, shelter, and self-preservation. You may notice it out of balance if you jump at noises, have bad dreams, experience lower back pain, etc. So this is where we need to take the power away from our fears and heal our Root Chakra.
We still want to use meditation, yoga pose, food and an affirmation because this awakens and strengthens our chakra. We need all the help that we can get.
2. Meditation:
Here’s an app for Insight Timer Meditation
Here is the YouTube video for Binaural beats to use with earphones.
Meditate for as long as you would like and it's even better if you are out in nature feeling the grass and trees around to ground you.
Close your eyes and feel the earth beneath you. Inhale taking in fresh nourishing energy, exhale releasing all of the things that no longer serve you or help you move forward. Sit with your shoulders back and your spine straight. Try to relax all your muscles as you close your eyes and breathe deeply. Inhale through the nose, pulling the breath as far down into your body as you can, and exhale through the mouth. Chant LAM while meditating
Llllllllaaaaaaaammmm
Focus a red, warm, swirling, healing, light at the end of your spine.
3. Food: Red
A healthy root chakra vibrates at the color RED. Therefore, red foods provide the vibration needed to help balance the root chakra. Nutritionally, red foods usually have high levels of vitamin C–a nutrient utilized by several body parts that the root chakra oversees, like bones, teeth, skin and adrenals. Some red foods you could try are tomatoes, strawberries, apples, pomegranates, cherries, red beans, potatoes, etc. These are all grounding foods so incorporate them into your meals.
4. Yoga pose: Forward Bend
If you have any medical concerns, talk with your doctor before practicing yoga.
Bend over so that your head is hanging towards the floor. Do not try to touch your toes. This position is meant to be relaxing. If you are not able to do it standing up, try it setting on the floor. Keep your knees bent until you feel comfortable and are flexible enough to straighten them.
Dropping your head below your heart calms your brain. This helps to relieve stress, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, mild depression, and insomnia. Forward Bend deeply stretches and lengthens your hamstrings and calves. It opens the hips and can relieve tension in the neck and shoulders. Practicing this pose stimulates the liver and kidneys, while improving digestion, asthma, sinusitis, and high blood pressure.
5. Affirmation: I AM stable, grounded and relaxed in this moment.
When you state an affirmation you are stating a truth. Affirmations are sentences aimed to affect the conscious and the subconscious mind. The words composing the affirmation, automatically and involuntarily, bring up related mental images into the mind, which could inspire, energize and motivate.
Repeat all day long and if you look in the mirror while stating this, even better!
