Root chakra affirmations can be a powerful tool for cultivating trust within yourself and others, grounding yourself, and feeling safe in the world (as one can in today’s world). This is because the root chakra governs these aspects of self. So when it’s wounded, blocked or imbalanced you might struggle with trust, feelings safe in your body and in the world, feeling stable in life, and feeling grounded. Let’s learn more about this chakra and root chakra affirmations!
Root Chakra
We’ve explored the root chakra as a way to connect to the body when being in your body feels too hard. We also learned how to use root chakra crystals. If you’re new to this blog, I want to provide a quick overview. If you’re familiar with it already, feel free to skip on through to the next section.
The first chakra, aka the root chakra or Muladhara is the foundation of our chakra system. It governs our connection with our physical body and the Earth. It is for these reasons that this chakra is also responsible for allowing us to feel grounded.
This chakra also governs our sense of trust, safety, security, stability, finances, health, housing and family/roots. As you can see, our root chakra governs A LOT. So if you are having issues with trust, grounding, feeling safe or stable, health issues, finances, housing and/or with your family or lineage, you very likely have some work to do with your root chakra.
Please also know that any of the above issues can also compromise the health of your root chakra. This is why doing regular chakra balancing practices is so important.
Let’s explore how root chakra affirmations can help you on this journey.
Affirmations
Affirmations can be a powerful took in your healing journey. The key is finding affirmations that resonate for you in an authentic way. That might not mean you actively believe it. If you believed it and felt it was true, you wouldn’t need the affirmation, right?
I find some people don’t connect with the fake it til you make it or fake it til you become it philosophy. If you do, you’re probably actively engaging in affirmation work in some capacity. If you don’t though, affirmations can feel very forced and performative.
This is why connecting in an authentic way is so important. For example, I don’t know many people that don’t want to trust themselves. However, I know MANY people that struggle to trust themselves.
Notice if this is something you want. If you have even a glimmer of hope that it is attainable to trust yourself, root chakra affirmation(s) could be a useful tool in that work.
Let’s look at some root chakra affirmations and then explore how to use them.

Using Root Chakra Affirmations
You might be wondering, how do I use these root chakra affirmations? So glad you asked! There are many differing ways to approach it.
You can utilize the following youtube video which utilizes the affirmations above with the root chakra singing bowl to add an extra dose of vibrational healing for your root chakra. Check out the root chakra crystals blog post and add in a crystal to your practice to rev up the healing power.
You can use one to work with or as many as you like! I also encourage you to develop your own personal root chakra affirmations, as your journey will be unique to you.
Many people like to write an affirmation on a post-it where you are likely to see it frequently throughout the day.
Some people like to set reminders with the root chakra affirmation so you are reminded to say it, think it, connect with it, etc.
These are just some ways you can work with them. Feel free to comment with your favorite approach to working with root chakra affirmations or affirmations in general.
