If you're tired of feeling insecure and vulnerable in a world that feels very unpredictable,
you'll want to learn and I'm gonna teach you a tool that you can use that will help you
feel grounded, centered, and balanced and very secure.
Today we're talking about the root chakra.
I'm Carol Tuttle and I'm a master chakra teacher, which means I have studied the chakra energy
system for over 30 years.
And I've had one of the most poignant and far-reaching online chakra healing courses
that's now retired but we're bringing back new and improved chakra information.
So make sure you check out moderndaychakraguide.com.
The chakras are changing and they're changing us.
And that's why you want to know about this information because you can take your life
from being in upheaval to a place of security, a sense of safety, predictability, and affluence
very easily when you learn about your chakras.
And today, we're gonna talk about the root chakra and how it helps you create a sense
of safety and security in our kind of crazy world we're living in right now.
Because the chakra energy system is moving us and unless you're aware of it, you're gonna
be like, whoa, it's kind of blowing everything up rather than lining everything up to your
highest good.
So let's take a look at my chakrish, my chakra chart.
Chakra chart and that's the first tip.
It's Chakra, C-H, cha, cha, not chokra like C-H.
Chakra, chokra.
It's a sanskrit word that means energy vortex, swirling energy.
And you can see, I show you in this chart the different placement, the bottom of the
torso.
We were...that little figure we're standing, it would be at the very kind of between your
legs, bottom of the torso, up middle of the belly, solar plexus.
So first chakra, bottom of the torso, second chakra is middle of the tummy, third chakra,
solar plexus, heart chakra center of the chest, throat chakra, throat, intuitive chakra up
around the middle of the eyes between the eyes, middle the forehead, and crown chakra,
top of the head.
So we're gonna talk about today chakra is the root chakra and its function and how you
in activating it, it's going to create a sense of security, wellbeing, and predictability
in your life that your vital needs are being met at all times and what that looks like
in a modern-day world.
You'll see that the colors red, I'm wearing red today in the affirmation that I teach
as I live true to myself I know I deserve to thrive and help others thrive.
So thriving is a constant state of wellbeing and a part of that is feeling safe and secure
in our world and that you don't ever have to worry about your needs being met.
That is the function of the root chakra.
The color red.
You can watch the video about what the colors mean.
You can watch what are the chakras to learn more in detail about those more general aspects.
That we're talking about this root chakra, it is your main power source to help you feel
vital and balance.
When your root chakra is closed or weak, you're going to easily take on other people's energy.
You're not rooted to yourself, you're not centered in your own energy system.
It actually pulls energy up from the earth to feed all the other chakras.
When that's not working, the rest of the chakras system is compromised, so you get pulled out.
You know that feeling when you're with someone that might overpower you, maybe they're passive-aggressive
with you, maybe they're manipulative, maybe you have triggers with people of that particular
nature and you suddenly feel out of sorts all the way to feeling just shut down.
That means you have a weak root chakra, you're not feeling safe in a situation.
And so it's not...for some people, they have stress and anxiety because of world news and
world events where you feel this, you know, sort of doomsday effect.
But I think for most of you watching, you're going to have this feeling of insecurity and
a lack of personal boundaries which is feeling safe in your own kind of container with certain
life situations and people.
That's what the bigger take away from this video is.
I know everybody has that because you get triggered because you have old wounds.
So activating and really energizing that root chakra is going to help you kinda like go,
"Oh I used to get triggered by you or I felt pulled out and I'd say or I'd choose things
that I didn't really want or I'd agree with you, or I'd let you manipulate me or I wouldn't
speak up or because all of a sudden now all the other chakras are compromised because
you're not grounded in your truth."
So when you ground to your root chakra, you're gonna go, "I'm present, I know myself, no,
I'm not gonna agree with that, I'm gonna say what I need to say in this situation."
So you think you have a clear thought, you're able to use your voice more clearly, you feel
your power center because your root chakra is working for you.
We all want that, right?
Now the interesting thing is it activates from birth to six months old when we're born
into the physical world.
Our bodies connect with the earth, we're here, we're in the physical world.
Now if you had anything going on in your parents' life, maybe they had stress, turmoil, whatever
it was, that there was some compromise somewhere in your reality from birth to six months,
maybe your birth trauma wasn't, you know, you have residue from your birth, it would
be old energy and you wouldn't have had your chakra activated sufficiently.
So each of these chakras have activation stage from birth to our early adult years.
And if yours wasn't properly nurtured, that chakra can be weak and easily compromised,
so that's something to think about, you can easily correct that.
So let's say you'd notice, "Ah, my chakra closes when or at weekends in certain settings."
Because that's the other vital thing, the interesting thing about chakras is it's not
a constant.
Like they're always weak or they're always strong.
Some settings, they can be really poignant and strong.
Other settings, all of a sudden they crash on you and they're not staying operative.
And that's what you want to shift.
So how do you activate it?
Okay, we're gonna do that real simple.
You can wear the color red to remind you, I am feeding the color ray red to my chakra.
Well, we're gonna use the imagery of a spinning top, okay?
Because you want your chakras spinning.
They're a spinning vortex wheel of energy and so you're going, you can keep your eyes
open or closed.
Imagine you have a top that's about, you know, the toys, the tops that spin on a tabletop,
it's gonna be about this big, okay?
Little bit big, you know, toys are usually but we're gonna get a little bigger one.
And imagine you can get it spinning and it's spinning really beautifully and it's red.
You see these red colors flashing off it and you're gonna take that and place it right
between your legs.
So it's spinning the energy in that position.
And you see a red root now growing out of your torso and there's a plug on the bottom
of it.
It's like it's retractable and you're able to now pull it out.
So pull it out and there's a plug and you look down and you see there's an actual outlet.
We're gonna make a big plug and you see an outlet that's now in the earth and you're
gonna, you can actually do this.
I'm not gonna stand up and do it because I'll lose my camera frame but you want to bend
over and plug that imaginary plug into the outlet right there.
Even make a sound when you put it in, and you're like plug it in, plug it into the earth.
I am plugging in my root chakra.
And now you see the color red coming up from the earth and the Earth's chi energy coming
up kind of like the energy turns on and it's like and feeds right up into your body.
That was pretty good.
So plug it in and now it comes up and you're being fed this beautiful chi.
So you did this top, the plug, and feed the energy up, it's three simple steps.
So when you're in a situation and you're feeling insecure or your energy is not safe or you're
triggered, you're being pulled out, just real quick, go red, put my red spinning top in
my root chakra and you can even just in your mind, because you don't have to do the whole
bending over thing when you're with someone, you can just imagine plugging in your root
chakra, grounding yourself.
Now if you've done that kind of stomp up and down, I'm in my body, I'm grounded, I'm true
to myself and say the affirmation again.
I'll put it up on the screen one last time, here it is.
As I live true to myself, I know I deserve to thrive and help others thrive.
And thriving means I feel good, I'm healthy, I have plenty of money and more.
I have a support group of people, whether it's your family, I have community that supports
me, that honors my truth, I can be myself with them.
That looks very different nowadays because our tribes aren't just our family.
We create our own tribes of support and community, that's all about the root chakra.
Being able to give yourself that to sustain your vitality as a human being.
I am thriving, I deserve to thrive, and I help others thrive.
That is the new energy of the root chakra, it's no longer about survival, that's done.
We're learning to thrive and believe we can be sustained at a high level of affluence
every day of our lives.
All my needs are met.
In today's modern world that looks like great health, a lot of it's about money and having
the money to buy the healthy food you want, to have the pleasure you want to invest in,
and a lot of it has to do with community, that you have the people around you that support
you, love you, and honor you.
