Visualization for your Root Chakra
Close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths, feeling them fill the entire body, all the way down into the toes of the feet.
Bring your awareness down to the base of the spine.
Begin to see a beautiful, deep red encompassing the lower body, spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.
Take some deep breaths into the red and see it become deeper and more vibrant.
Begin to send this color downward from the pelvis, from the hip bones, seeing it fill your legs, knees, and feet, filling the lower body.
Start to send the red down from your feet through the earth like roots.
Go as deep as you can down into the earth, and wrap your red roots around what you find there: dirt, bedrock, or even the molten core of the earth.
See your roots turn the whole area around them red, and take a few deep breaths. Breathe into this connection, and release down into the ground anything in the body that’s holding you back from feeling fully supported.
Now, leaving your roots intact, begin to draw that deep red from the earth up into your feet, knees, legs, and hips. Bring it all the way up through the body, through the belly, chest, arms, and crown of the head. Feel the red uniting the earth and sky.
Breathe deeply and relax into this sense of connectedness, staying here as long as you wish.
Essential oils for the root chakra tend to ground, center, unify, align all chakras, protect and reconnect one with earth. Many offer a sense of calm, confidence and security.
The essential oils closely associated with the root chakra tend to be made of heavier molecules, and are characterized as base notes, which are deeper, slowly unfolding, long lasting scents.
These include: CEDARWOOD & SPRUCE
Cedarwood
This oil is sweet and warming, itis used for embalming and thus for long life. It brings in positive energy. Useful to connect with the earth,it is grounding and centring and strengthens confidence and the will power. Cedarwood promotes a calm meditative state to better receive healing energy and, at the seventh chakra it brings a spiritual clarity to a soul crying out for peace of mind. “The oil may help provide warmth and comfort and help stabilize energies thrown out of balance”.
Spruce
Essential Oil has an immediate grounding effect. It is great for centering, calming and focusing. If one can picture the full, majestic Spruce tree, a sense of rootedness and expansiveness occurs. Once feeling grounded, we can feel more connected to our breath, opening and expanding on many levels.
