5 kundalini mantras to support your root chakra

In my own journey, I discovered trauma that needed to be resolved from my early childhood. When I was at my rock bottom, I had no idea nor relationship with my foundation to any facet of my life. More than anything, I was praying for a miracle. I wanted to have a spiritual relationship with my soul. I lost track of that after years of struggling with prolonged depression. I walked around numb. It was time for me to root myself in my truth and to be able to stand strong with conviction.

The Root Chakra helps relates to security and safety. Translated in Sanskrit as Muladara, this chakra develops around ages 0-7 years. Associated with the Earth, the name of this chakra coincides with its literal purpose as it brings us to our foundation and back to basics. Here, we find our habits and our self-acceptance. We consistently hear talk in the modern spiritual world to "raise the vibration. raise the vibration!" Raising the vibration is great, but if we aren't grounded, there is no way we can withstand the storm that may be coming through. As part of the lower triangle we see in the seven chakras, we must allow ourselves to be grounded in our physical body before we even tackle our spiritual body.

The power of the Root Chakra grounds us into our being. As we go forth in the world, we must find ourselves grounded during all the shifts and changes we face. This is our space where we find ourselves connected to all that surrounds us. When we find ourselves with a solid and strong foundation, we are able to confidently move forward towards the direction of our dreams. We are here to find stability and safety in our being so that we can show the world just what we’re made of.

The root represents the masculine energy's exit point, whereas the throat represents the feminine aspect. As you embark, you must be willing to feel whatever is coming up. Those who come from an abusive past do everything in their power to run away from facing the truth. I'm here to tell you, the only way you will heal fully is if you dive in fully. Not being fully committed to the process may lead to you dealing with this issue down the line. You have the strength to go through it once and for all. As you heal your wounds, you help heal the world you see around you.

THIS is how we make the world a better place.

You allowing yourself to be vulnerable during this time gives permission for others to not only go in and heal, but it also reminds others that they aren't alone in this journey. We are all in this together. Working with these mantras will help you thrive and conquer as you go out into the world to be of service as the best version of you. Everything you want is within you. Allow the power of the mantra to guide you as you go forth from this moment on.
