Energetically, there’s been something potent in the air that’s been causing many of us to double-down on our controlling behavior.
And if this is happening to you, it’s probably not been great for your wellbeing. I know the feeling because I found myself in this same cycle recently.
In today’s newsletter, I’ll teach you about the source of controlling behavior, what’s really happening, and how to overcome it.
What your Thinking Mind Tells You
It’s easy to fall into a trap thinking that it’s better to control all outcomes. Or to try to control them.
This could look like:
- analyzing every possible scenario so “you can be prepared”
- planning every detail of life to the nth degree “for efficiency”
- trying to control others in your life so they “don’t make the wrong decisions”
- not taking risks or going out of your comfort zone because you “don’t want to fail or not enjoy something”
Regardless, there’s a hidden price to pay for these patterns.
The Cost of Controlling
The problem with trying to control everything is that it takes away from the focus on you.
It’s like an escape so you don’t have to deal with your own realities.
And when you aren’t focused on yourself, you:
- Stop taking care of your health and wellness
- Pause your goals
- Can’t enjoy the present moment
- Feel un-balanced and unstable in your daily life
- Create tension in your relationships
The Root Cause of Controlling
In my 5 years as an energy healer, I most often see this control issue as an imbalance in the Root Chakra.
Located in your low abdomen, your Root Chakra is your foundation. Energetically, it represents your basic needs of food, water, safety, shelter, money.
When people are controlling, their Root Chakra feels lack in one or more of those areas. It’s signaling to overcorrect for the lack by trying to grip tightto the other parts of life.
You may wonder why this is such a big deal. Well, it’s because the worst part about these patterns is that they are keeping you from living your best life.
Controlling is Keeping you from your Best Life
That’s right. Controlling behavior won’t let you live the life of your dreams.
Why?
Because moving into the next chapter of your life means you must give up your safety net.
And when you don’t know the unknowns, that’s going to make things seem more unsafe.
This lack of safety could feel like fears about money, confidence, loneliness, etc.
If you don’t feel safe, you won’t jump.
This may feel like a punch in the gut, especially if you have been desiring to make changes in your life.
But I promise there’s good news.
When you feel safe inside, with a deep peace, courage, and knowing that everything will work out, you’ll be ready to take the next step.
This way of being can be achieved by healing your Root Chakra.
You CAN get your root chakra back to balance and out of controlling behavior.
There are several solutions below to begin the journey.

What people are saying about Heal yourself from Emptiness:
“After doing the guided visualization in Heal Yourself from Emptiness, I felt more relaxed, grounded, and stronger in my heart. Messages I received during it were related to taking steps to being more carefree, taking pottery classes, and being more secure in my decisions and confidence. The messages and visions were clear, especially when I saw my inner child dancing in the meadow! I feel more sure of what to do next to be a little happier in my life.” – Laura S.
“I thought the visualization from Heal Yourself from Emptiness was very neat! I liked how it began with the cloud, then the rain washing through the body, having the vines rooting into the earth. The animal I saw that was meant to symbolize my life right now was a super cute, spotted baby deer. Even being where I am at, and having an awareness of my life, I can still feel like, ‘Well, what do I need?’, because what we need always changes. I really liked it and I plan to listen to it again. I love the concept of it, which is to discover what is needed to fill the empty feeling… the empty void.” – Christie M.
