40 Grounding Root Chakra Affirmations to Eliminate Anxiety Once and For All

Root chakra affirmations can be a grounding addition to your meditation routine, personal manifesto, or morning affirmation practice.

But what is a “root chakra?”

In tantric Hinduism, a chakra is a place on the body where one is to direct his focus during meditation. The body has seven chakra points, beginning just above the crown of the head and continuing down to the pelvic floor. Each chakra is thought to be responsible for modulating a type of energy flow in and out of the body. Meditating on these focal points balances and unblocks these chakras, allowing them to release their energy into the body.

The root chakra, specifically, manages foundational needs like trust, integrity, humility, and a sense of being grounded.

An imbalance in the root chakra causes anxiety and insecurity. It leads us to make decisions that don’t line up with our personal values and belief systems. It encourages us to look for ways to find the easy way out, take shortcuts, and avoid confronting the hard work of life.

Physically, the root chakra is located between the perineum and the pelvic bone.¹ It is the first and bottommost chakra on the body, and as a result it is considered the foundational chakra. It is the chakra upon which all other chakras rely. You can’t address any other chakras until you have resolved your root chakra.

Putting aside whether you agree with the spiritual beliefs around chakras, it is hard to deny that being grounded is the first step toward building a life that aligns with who we really are inside.

We recommend using root chakra affirmations as mantras in meditation², but they can also be repeated as part of a morning self-talk routine or a daily reading of your personal manifesto.

Here are 40 powerful root chakra affirmations to help keep you grounded:

Root Chakra Affirmations on Staying Grounded

Your root chakra is primarily responsible for your sense of being grounded. These affirmations are designed to help you shift your mindset toward one that is well-balanced, emotionally stable, and unpretentious.

Root Chakra Affirmations on Belonging

One of the primary benefits of meditating with root chakra affirmations is cultivating a sense of safety and belonging. We can’t thrive if we don’t feel like we belong, but too often, our minds allow negative thoughts to hold us back from accepting our right to hold space.

I am right where I need to be and things are going really well.

I trust the goodness of life.

I am financially free.

1. You read that right! The root chakra sits in the coveted position between the anus and the generals. Probably not a place you spend a lot of time thinking about, but in a way, that’s the point. ↩
2. For a given session, choose one of these affirmations and place the mind’s attention on the pelvic floor. Repeat the affirmation in your mind while holding your attention on the pelvic floor. When the mind wanders, acknowledge and name the thought or feeling, and then gently return the mind to focus on the root chakra. ↩
3. This can be harder to believe now than it has ever been, but a fundamental belief that things will ultimately work out is essential to finding purpose in one’s life. After all, if you don’t believe things will work out in the end, what’s the point? 😅 ↩
