How a Blocked Root Chakra is Affecting Your Relationship with Money
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do or how hard you try, you can't seem to get ahead financially? Do you find yourself struggling to pay bills or feeling anxious about money?
As empaths, intuitives, and sensitives, we know the importance of energy flow in our lives. It affects not only our emotions, but also our physical health and our relationship with money. Money is an essential part of our daily lives, yet often, we struggle to maintain a healthy relationship with it.
You may be surprised to learn that the root cause of these issues could be a blocked root chakra. The root chakra, located at the base of your spine, is your foundation and connection to the earth. The root chakra, or Muladhara in Sanskrit, is located at the base of the spine and is associated with the color red. It is considered the foundation of the chakra system and is responsible for our sense of safety, security, and stability. When the root chakra is balanced and functioning properly, we feel grounded and connected to our physical body.
When it's blocked, it can affect your relationship with money and abundance. Specifically, a blocked root chakra can have a significant impact on how you perceive and handle money. In this blog post, we'll explore how a blocked root chakra is affecting your relationship with money and share some embodied and somatic practices for working with the chakras to help heal your relationship with money.
Understanding the Root Chakra and Your Relationship with Money
The root chakra, located at the base of the spine, is responsible for our sense of safety, security, and stability.
When it's balanced and open, you feel grounded and connected to the earth. You feel stable and secure in your home, job, and relationships. You feel that you have enough of everything you need. Your relationship with money flourishes, and you notice abundance all around you (and how it's SO more than just the money flowing in and out of your bank account)
A blocked root chakra can manifest as anxiety, fear, and a lack of trust in the world. This, in turn, can translate to a scarcity mindset when it comes to money. When your root chakra is blocked, you may feel anxious or insecure. You might be constantly worrying about your financial situation, even when everything appears to be going well. You may also find it challenging to find a stable career, maintain a home or find a healthy relationship.You might feel like you’re always struggling, that there’s never enough, or that you’re constantly living in survival mode.
When your root chakra is blocked, it can limit your ability to manifest money, prosperity and abundance in your life. But how can you tell if your root chakra is blocked? Some signs include: feeling disconnected from your body, struggling to stay grounded, finding it hard to make decisions or take action, and feeling like you don’t belong. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms and also finding it hard to manage your money, there’s a good chance that the two are connected
Embodied and Somatic Practices of Working with the Chakras and Healing Your Relationship with Money
Embodied and somatic practices can be very helpful in working with the chakras. These practices include movement, breathwork, meditation, and visualization.
What can you do to heal your relationship with money and unblock your root chakra?
First, start by bringing awareness to your body. Simple breathing exercises and body scans can help you connect with your physical self and become more grounded. When you’re more grounded, you’re more likely to feel secure and stable in your life, including your financial situation. One simple exercise to help heal your root chakra is to envision a red light at the base of your spine. As you inhale, visualize the light expanding and filling your entire pelvic area. As you exhale, feel any tension or anxiety leaving your body. Continue this practice for several minutes until you feel grounded and connected.
Try body scans. Body scans involve bringing awareness to each part of the body, starting at the feet and working up to the head. This can help you tune into your physical sensations and become more present in your body.
Affirmations can be a powerful tool for shifting your mindset. Affirmations like “I am financially secure” or “Money flows easily and effortlessly to me” can help you move away from a scarcity mindset and towards a more abundant mindset.
Another effective exercise for healing the root chakra is to focus on your feet. Take off your shoes, and feel the ground beneath your feet. Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet, connecting you deep into the earth. This exercise helps to ground and center you while strengthening the connection to your root chakra. I also find it helpful to imagine cement blocks on the feet or wearing ankle weights.
Healing Your Relationship with Money
Now that you've begun to work on healing your root chakra let's focus on healing your relationship with money.
One important practice is to practice gratitude. Notice all the ways that money is flowing into your life. When you receive money, take a moment to express gratitude for it. Feel the joy of receiving money instead of focusing on the anxiety that may follow.
Another impactful practice for healing your relationship with money is to create a budget. It may seem counterintuitive, but a budget can actually help to reduce anxiety around money. When you have a clear understanding of your financial situation, you can feel more in control and empowered.
Finally, it’s important to acknowledge and shift any limiting beliefs you have about money. These might include beliefs like “money is evil” or “rich people are greedy.” Recognize that these beliefs are not serving you and actively work towards shifting them. Affirmations can help with this, but so can journaling, therapy, or working with a coach or spiritual mentor.
Living in Abundance
As you heal your relationship with money and work on healing your root chakra, you'll begin to notice an increase in abundance in all areas of your life. You'll feel more grounded and connected to the earth, which will help you to manifest prosperity and abundance.
Healing your root chakra and your relationship with money takes time, patience, and commitment, but the results are well worth the effort. By embracing embodied and somatic practices, you'll be able to tune into your body, deepen your connection to your root chakra, and manifest abundance and prosperity in your life. By doing so, you'll be able to live in abundance, feel financially secure, and experience a greater sense of joy and ease in your relationship with money.
Remember, your relationship with money is a reflection of your relationship with yourself. When you focus on healing and balance, you'll begin to notice a shift in your financial situation. Trust in the process, be patient, and keep doing the work.
