Starting a new year is a great time to focus on the root chakra. It’s the base, the grounding energy that flows through us. The root represents our basic needs and our safety. Are you taking care of your basic needs? Making sure you are nourished on every level? You can’t spread your love to others until you take care of yourself and that all starts at the root. So grow your roots deep into the soil and allow that energy to flow as it fills you with all you need. 

Meditation for Root Chakra

Sit in a comfortable position either cross legged with a straight spine or laying down. Close your eyes and take some deep cleansing breaths. Focus your internal eye to your base, to any part of your body that is physically connected to mother earth. Now imagine roots growing from your body into the earth, going deep into the center. Keep your attention here for a few breaths. On your next inhale imagine the roots slowly coming back out of the earth and into your body. The roots bring with them everything you need. Allow this energy to penetrate your entire being. Sit with this feeling of love and completeness for a bit, knowing you are taken care of. The energy of Mama Pacha (Mother Earth) is always avaialbe to you.
