Safety & the Root Chakra

My beautiful and wise friend said this to me today – 

“We often try to control our environment around us because we don’t feel safe inside.”

Your safety – or lack of it – is the basis for the way you feel inside your body, as well as low-vibrational behaviors.

Safety can mean a lot of things. You may feel safe at home, but you might feel nervous to open up to new people. Or you might be scared to go places alone. Or you might have a hard time sleeping at night.

It all comes back to safety. And that means it is related to the Root Chakra.

When the root chakra is off balance, the following symptoms can surface:

• Instability or ungrounded feeling
• Life feels chaotic
• You need to be on guard all the time
• Paranoia
• Hopeless
• Anxiety
• Trust issues
• Money insecurity and fear
• Anger
• Control issues
• GI issues
• Fear of the unknown

The root chakra, otherwise known as your first chakra, is the foundation of your energy. 

It represents your safety, stability, trust in relationships, as well as basic needs (food, water, shelter).

How does the root chakra get off balance? 

Well, the sad news is, it probably has been off for a long time. We hold our big childhood wounds here. 

Did you ever feel as a kid: 

• unsafe
• abandoned 
• financially insecure
• mistreated
• unsupported
• like you were walking on eggshells

If so, those emotions probably built up in your Root Chakra over time. As an adult, they often surface as new behaviors and symptoms (like the ones listed in the beginning of this newsletter).

I work with so many people who had difficult childhoods and are working towards bringing that safety back within themselves. 

Even me, who had a pretty good childhood, has big wounds here. 

Some of my healing has been around things that happened with guys in college, ex boyfriends, friendship betrayal, and financial fears from conversations I heard as a young child. 

Many of my healing sessions are also found in past lives and generational traumas. I’ll tell a couple stories below.

Bottom line is, you may know where some of the emotions come from, but not all of it. In fact, most of my clients are shocked when they realize what the root cause of an issue can be.

Keep reading for the stories and what to do about these problems.

Real Stories about Healing Sessions

For example, I recently guided someone to healing her present-day anger that was related to a situation with her grandmother at age 5. 

She originally thought the anger was from another situation in her adult life and was wondering why it was still lingering. Afterwards, she told me she felt lighter and more powerful, as well as finding some additional emotions underneath the anger that she can now work towards healing.

Another example is of a client who was worried about her husband getting sick one day. This fear was coming out in anger, anxiety, and was making her feel off balance. 

We looked deeper into it, and she realized the root cause was from a feeling of abandonment by her sister. They have a good relationship, but she finally realized this deep-down feeling that she felt disconnection, which caused these emotions to seep into her spousal relationship, too. She felt much better, more grounded, and relieved after our session together.

I recently cleared something from one of my own past lives relating to safety to be myself. 

I was an old woman healer who was trying to aid a soldier on a horse who had fallen. He ended up dying, and his friend came along and beat up the past life version of me because he thought I had something to do with it. In that lifetime, I vowed to never share my healing gifts with anyone again. After I cleared this past-life contract out of my energy, I felt much more free to share stories like this with you all and teach these important tools to others.
