Root Chakra Meditation
“An out-of-balance Root Chakra could express its condition with issues such as a lack of grounding, fear of moving forward in life, general anxiety, impatience, and addiction. Physically, the body might respond with pain, growth problems, weight issues, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, or menopausal symptoms. You may also constantly lack energy, feel tired or, if your Root Chakra is overly active, you can be high-strung, have difficulty sleeping, or act aggressive and greedy” – Mirtha Contreras
Root Chakra Meditation
The base chakra, also known as the root chakra, serves as the fundamental energy hub of your body. It is dedicated to ensuring the well-being and nurturing of your physical form. This chakra connects you to your purpose and your consciousness of your physical existence.
Knowing yourself and mastering your body enables you to fully exist in physical control. Being able to authentically be yourself is the wonder of life on this planet. Once your root chakra is fully open, you will experience a profound sense of security, stability, and fearlessness.
You will also feel a deep connection not only to the Earth but also to your loved ones, friends, colleagues, and partners. Begin each practice by reciting the root mantras to open your meditation, or conclude with them for closure. These affirmations can also be used throughout the day for focused healing.
This chakra, also recognized as the church of Ephesus in the book of revelation, houses the Kundalini, the serpentine fire, which lies dormant coiled three and a half times inside.

5-Minute Meditation
Differing from the other meditations, this particular one directs its focus towards your physical body. To initiate, find a comfortable position in a chair or, if you wish to establish a connection with the Earth, sit on the floor.
If you happen to be outside, sitting against a tree can be beneficial. Let your eyelids grow heavy, elongate your spine, release any tension in your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and allow your tongue to rest at the bottom of your mouth. Visualize a vibrant red sphere of energy.
Visualize the ball in your mind’s eye or transfer it to the specific body part you are focusing on. Envision it growing larger and smaller. The position of the vibrant energy ball may vary each time. Now, start taking deep breaths, allowing the air to fill your lungs and travel down your spine, reaching your pelvic bowl.
As you exhale, allow your breath to flow down through your legs, sending the vital life-force energy back to the Earth through the soles of your feet. Take a few deep breaths and you will begin to feel a sense of centeredness. Pay attention to this sensation.
Are you aware of any resistance? If so, focus your breath on those areas to promote relaxation. If you encounter resistance, simply observe it without feeling the need to fix or change anything. Begin by squeezing your toes together for a few seconds and then releasing them.
Take a brief pause to observe the sensations that link you to this specific body part. Once you have acknowledged the messages conveyed by this part, proceed further. Rotate your ankles a few times and flex your knees individually.
Inhale deeply, allowing your breath to reach your hips, and consider circling them. Experience the sensation of connecting with these regions. Gently squeeze your perineum, take a deep breath into your abdomen, and release it audibly. Finally, stretch the left side of your body and then the right side.
Inhale deeply into the back of your shoulder blades, allowing your chest to expand towards the sky. Rotate your shoulders and neck in circular motions, first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Feel the tension release as you breathe into your upper back.
Rotate your wrists by bending your elbows, and if desired, roll your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Finally, tightly squeeze your eyelids shut and furrow your brow line. Hold for a brief moment before letting go. Next, shift your attention to the crown of your head.
Gently rub it and indulge in a soothing scalp massage to rejuvenate the topmost part of your body. Once you feel satisfied, assume the root chakra mudra and chant your selected root mantra. Finally, take a final deep breath, allowing it to fill your entire being, reaching all the way down to the base of your spine.
Let go of your breath, sending it back to the Earth. If your eyes were closed, open them and enter a space of reflection with a gentle gaze. Recognize what you were able to observe during your meditation. If you feel inclined, you can make note of any emotions that emerged, although this step is entirely optional.
“When the Kundalini is still enclosed within the Muladhara chakra, the seven chakras hang downwards. However, when the Kundalini ascends through Brahmanadi, then the marvelous petals of these chakras turn upward towards Brahmarandhra, marvelously gleaming with the incomparable sexual fire of Kundalini” – Samael Aun Weor
15-Minute Meditation
The earth’s center emits a harmonious love frequency that grounds the entire planet. By anchoring yourself to this core, you can rejuvenate your stability, magnetism, and overall health.
Within Mother Earth resides a potent crystal capable of transforming negativity into pure love. Use this meditation to access her nurturing energy. Sit or stand with a straight spine, whether indoors or outdoors leaning against a tree.
Start by taking deep breaths, inhaling deeply and allowing the breath to travel down your spine, reaching all the way to your pelvic area. As you exhale, imagine releasing the breath through your legs, sending the vital life-force energy back to the Earth through the soles of your feet.
After a few moments of deep breathing, you will begin to feel a sense of calm and centeredness. Pay attention to this sensation. Are there any areas of resistance? Take a moment to breathe into those areas, allowing yourself to relax and let go.
As you take in each new breath, imagine it entering through the crown of your head, a few inches above your headspace. Allow each breath to cascade down through your head, neck, and spine, channeling its energy deep into the Earth.
Embrace the profound connection between your body and the ground, feeling the unwavering support beneath you. Envision your seat as a powerful link to the Earth, or if you’re standing, visualize your feet sprouting radiant golden roots that entwine to create a magnificent cord. (You can opt for a different color if you prefer.)
Let this connection firmly anchor your body to the Earth. Experience the sensation of a golden point emanating from the tip of your tailbone, pulsating and radiating energy. Imagine this vibrant cord extending deep into the Earth, penetrating through its layers until it reaches the core.
Envision a magnificent ruby-red crystal residing at the heart of the planet, emanating a potent frequency of grounded love. This crystal has accumulated healing energy over countless ages and possesses the ability to effortlessly and unconditionally restore your trust and stability.
Always remember, the center of the Earth resonates with a flawless frequency of love that grounds and nurtures the entire planet. Start channeling the grounding energy of the red crystal. Watch as it moves up the golden cord with a vibrant electric glow.
Repeat one of your root mantras while visualizing the crystal’s energy connecting with your root chakra and spreading outwards. Witness it flow through your pelvis, hips, seat, and sexual organs. Feel the magnetic pull. Embrace the surge of unconditional love and power filling you.
This is a true Earth healing. Tap into centuries of wisdom and supportive energy rising from the Earth as you absorb the energy into your pelvis and saturate yourself. Immerse yourself in the captivating energy shift that leads you to a state of perfect balance.
Feel this energy enveloping your chakras, saturating them with a warm red light that effortlessly transmutes any fears, worries, doubts, or insecurities that may linger within. Remember, the emphasis of this exercise is on the feeling rather than the specific hues of color.
As you bask in this nurturing energy, visualize the red light ascending your spine, guided by the golden cord as a conduit. Witness the light as it beams out from your crown and merges with the vastness of the universe.
Embrace the grounding energy that flows within you, and allow your breath to transport this energy to every cell in your entire being. With sincere gratitude, thank yourself for being present today; you can choose to conclude your practice by chanting or audibly reciting your selected root mantra.
Extend your hands onto the Earth and vocalize your appreciation by saying, “Thank you!” Bestow blessings upon the Earth, acknowledging the love, light, and energy it has graciously bestowed upon you throughout your meditation and will continue to offer even after your session concludes.
If you wish, take a brief moment to compare your current state with how you felt at the beginning of your meditation. If you feel compelled, jot down any fresh insights that have emerged during your practice.
“This is the fundamental or coccygeal chakra. This chakra nourishes all the other chakras with its sexual energy. The Kundalini is enclosed with the Muladhara chakra” – Samael Aun Weor
30-Minute Meditation
Engage in this exercise to delve into the fundamental elements that impact your happiness, stability, thoughts, and beliefs. By immersing yourself in this meditation, you will uncover profound insights about your authentic self and the persona you consciously portray each day.
You have the flexibility to practice this meditation either seated or lying down. If you choose to lie down, ensure that your body remains flat. Take a moment to acknowledge the profound connection formed by every part of your body touching the Earth, appreciating the unity it brings.
Start by taking deep breaths, allowing the air to fill your lungs and flow down your spine, reaching your pelvic bowl. As you exhale, release the breath through your legs, allowing the life-force energy to return to the Earth through the soles of your feet.
Take a moment to become aware of the centering sensation that arises. Are there any areas of resistance? Direct your breath towards those areas to promote relaxation. Position your hands on your pubic bone or place one hand on each hip, below your navel.
Now, visualize and call upon a vibrant crimson healing light to flow into your pelvic region. Feel the energy spreading throughout your pelvic bowl and descending along your spinal column. Allow the intense red light to nourish your kidneys, colon, tailbone, and upper thighs.
Direct your breath towards your lower back and hip sockets, and continue to guide it towards your sexual organs. As you exhale, allow your breath to flow down your legs, activating the chakras located on the soles of your feet.
Take a moment to observe any sensations or emotions that arise within you when you focus on this area. How do you feel at this moment? Are you using meditation as a means to release past or present emotions?
Perhaps you’re sitting down to address a physical issue. Pay close attention to the feelings that emerge, even if they bring discomfort. These uncomfortable feelings indicate areas that require extra care and compassion.
Here are a couple of meditation suggestions to include:
Which essential needs for survival are currently impacting my life the most?
How am I adapting to changes or transitions?
How am I dealing with grief or loss?
What aspects of my life can I remove that have caused instability, insecurity, financial difficulties, lack of connection, self-preservation, or support?
Am I unknowingly influenced by false beliefs, limiting thoughts, or fears?
Am I willing to confront the painful areas and understand the root cause of my suffering?
Am I hindering my own progress by shielding myself from the things I fear?
What is the universe reflecting back to me at this moment? Can these reflections guide me in identifying where my personal growth and inner work lie?
Pay attention to where you feel emotions in your body while contemplating these ideas. Concentrate on your breath and focus on these specific areas, intending to direct these energies towards the red light of your root chakra.
Once you have gained valuable feedback, let go of what no longer benefits you. With your next exhale, imagine the red light descending down your left leg, through your left foot, and grounding into the Earth.
Offer Earth all your unneeded possessions. As you reflect on these matters, pay attention to where you feel emotions in your body. Concentrate on your breath and awareness in these spots, aiming to direct these energies towards the red light of your root chakra.
Once you’ve gathered useful insights, let go of what is no longer beneficial. As you exhale, visualize the red light flowing down your left leg, through your left foot, and into the Earth.
This concept is known as the Stability Triangle. During the final moments of the sequence, exhale deeply while directing your breath down the left leg, allowing the red light to follow. As the breath reaches the left foot, it will transition to the right foot, connecting both feet with this radiant light energy.
On your next inhale, the light will ascend back up your right leg, creating a red triangle of light that converges at your root area. Perform the Stability Triangle three times in succession. Recite your root mantra three times. Your session has now concluded.
“A healthy root chakra allows a person to be energetically grounded – a concept that is critical to understanding basic aliveness and well-being. Grounding orients us in time and space, and connects us to the environment. Being grounded gives us a source of strength through connection to our body and environment. Physically this happens through the legs and feet, through which excitement is passed up into the body and excess is discharged downward into the ground. This means we can stand on our own two feet and move forward in life. Only by drawing energy up from the base can we create the liberating current that flows to the crown” – Anodea Judith
