Healing your Root Chakra from Generational Pain
The Root Chakra is deeply connected to generational pain, even more so than other chakras. However, the toxic energy based upon generational pain is often inherited and recorded within the root chakra before we are even born. When this is the case it can be extremely difficult to know what we are holding for energy that impacts our life in various ways. Let’s explore how the root chakra helps us discover the energy within, the benefits of keeping it healthy, and some healing methods to help you do just that.
The Root Chakra, is the root of your being. It is the chakra that regulates energy flow through your other chakras and is your survival center for your life. In other words, your fight-flight instincts are rooted in this chakra.
The energy of your Root Chakra, when healthy, allows you to harness courage, be resourceful, and thrive in life, no matter what. It is directly connected to the Law of Abundance. So I know you can thrive and intentionally manifest healing for this chakra so you know abundance and future generations will as well.
Generational energy does not need to exist any longer. You have the power to break free and to live abundantly. Knowledge is power. The Root Chakra is deeply connected to ancestral energy (both healthy and painful). Every experience previous generations endured has been recorded within your root chakra, if the energy isn’t cleared and healed before you were even born.
Often childhood trauma that imprints a feeling of insecurity, abandonment, or a lack of self-confidence drives deeply rooted toxic energy within the Root Chakra. This will impact your life in many ways and will often manifest in fears around those same issues. Money issues and beliefs are rooted in this chakra, along with needing to control uncertainty or feeling like a victim in many areas of life. This is why healing your root chakra and from the generational pain within it is so important to learn how to thrive in life.
Healing your Root Chakra and from Generational Pain
A healthy Root Chakra drives confidence, stability, comfort, safety, financial independence, and the ability to thrive in life. You will naturally have a calmness about yourself and feel centered and ready for whatever is to come. With a healthy Root Chakra, you know abundance and can recognize it in your life and how it directly connects to your intentional manifestations.
Physically this chakra is associated with your adrenal glands, skeletal system, bowels, legs, feet, arms, kidneys, and circulatory system.
Emotionally fears are rooted here, along with how you are managing anger and a sense of drive within your life. The need to control based upon fear is rooted in this chakra and when you start feeling more self-conscious it may drive thoughts into a negative spiral if you aren’t mindful.
Feelings of abandonment or feelings around being a victim will root themselves within this chakra and send messages to your brain to live smaller, so you can stay safe. When you are doing that and constantly having to tiptoe around this toxic energy, it can be emotionally and physically draining. It can even place massive barriers for life goals that keep you struggling unnecessarily.
The good news is there are healing methods that will help alchemize this toxic energy and turn it into healing light energy.
Most sources will indicate that healing chakras can be done through affirmations, using crystals, diet, color therapy, sound therapy, or yoga. While this is true, Reiki therapy will is also another effective way to energetic heal the Root Chakra.
The Chakra Cleanse & Flow clears not only the energy you know you need to clear, but it also cleanses the chakra from all of the energy you are ready to heal from subconsciously as well. It essentially gives you a fresh start to keep your Root Chakra healthy – actually, this package is designed to provide you a clean slate by healing all chakras.
The toxic energy held within the chakras is collected through beliefs, habits, and trauma we’ve endured or have inherited generationally. Therefore it stands to reason, that mindset work is an effective way to alchemize these habits and reduce the triggers in your life.
When doing this work, it is essential to not hold any judgment towards yourself for feeling or reacting to something that has triggered you. I personally celebrate when this happens because I have first recognized it before reacting (that gets easier with practice), and two it is another opportunity to heal and raise my vibrations.
When it comes to the Root Chakra, be mindful of the thought patterns you have around stability, safety, and security (food and money) and take action to change those thought patterns. Using affirmations will work if you ensure you are clearing the energetics behind them. For example, saying “I have what I need” needs to sound like you honestly believe you have what you need. You need to strike a tone of truth when you say the affirmations to tell the energy to release and be alchemized into light energy.

Other Healthy Actions for your Root Chakra
I’d like you to connect with nature on a deeper level to help ground yourself more frequently. This can be done through walks outside, or even just noticing nature through a window. Really look at the flow of wind through the trees, birds flying, animals playing outside, and even the sound of your feet as people are walking by.
Take it all in.
Breathe.
As you stand still, picture yourself deeply grounded to nature with roots at your feet. Feel the healing energies nature provides for you and your life.
Foods that help your Root Chakra include root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, beets, onions, garlic, and protein-rich food like eggs, meats, beans, tofu, soy products, peanut butter. The spices that suit it are chives, paprika, and pepper.
Knowing your worth when you are overwhelmed by victim energy can create struggle and pain in your life. However, although you may have been victimized, you are not a victim. It does not need to define you and it does not need to continue stealing your abundance from you. The Planetary element is nature’s healing power for this chakra. Nature grounds you and helps you heal stuck energy. Find a comforting spot in nature and use the following affirmations to help you release victim energy. Scream it, in the privacy of your own natural safe space, until you feel empowered once again.
I affirmed this value and worth within my life and my willingness to break free by speaking these words until I felt the courage and knowingness to speak them with confidence; until I felt free. These are the words that helped free me from feeling like a victim.
I was victimized, but I am not a victim.
I am healing and growing as I am meant to.
I am exactly where I am meant to be, and growing and expanding as I am meant to do.
I am no longer feeling like a victim.
I empower myself to be and do exactly as I desire to be and do.
When you heal your Root chakra you know your worth. You know the worthiness and what will bring more worthiness to your life. Keep going, heal, and start manifesting the life you were meant to live. If you are feeling like you are not sure of your worthiness, find a way to connect with nature in some way. This could be touching a natural element like stone, dirt, or wood. Allow nature to be the grounding support you need to feel worthy of this abundance.
Finally, reach out if you have any questions or thoughts, you’d like to explore with me. I am here to work with you if you would like.
