The Grounding Room
Emotions can be hard to navigate, meditation can help. This Podcast is designed to help support you in managing difficult emotions rather than pushing them away. While we feel the weight and pressure of the world on our shoulders this space is meant to give you a safe space to pause, breathe, and just be you.
The Grounding Room
Part 1: Root Chakra Meditation: for safety security and grounding
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this gentle somatic meditation, you will be guided to reconnect with your body, and cultivate a deeper sense of grounding and inner stability.
Working with the qualities of the root chakra-safety, security, stability and grounding, this meditation invites you to slow down, through mindful breathing, body awareness and grounding visualizations. Hopefully, this will release tension, settle overwhelm, and strengthen your sense of connectedness.

Welcome to the root chakra meditation. Part one of a seven-part series. I am Christina, and it is my honor to guide you on this meditation. Before we start today, the color associated with the root chakra is red. And if you would like to add some crystal energy to your practice, a few stones you may choose from are garnet, red tiger eye, or red jasper. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is our energetic anchor to the earth. Our focus today is safety, security, survival, and grounding. You may either sit or lay down for this meditation, whichever is most comfortable for you. Observing the breath naturally, just noticing it as it is. And relaxing as you exhale. And take a few more natural breaths here. Take a deep breath in all the way into your belly. As you begin to notice yourself reconnecting with your physical body, bring your attention to the surface below you. Notice the support and strength beneath your root chakra, providing you with safety. Feel the stability under you as you open your mind and visualize a circle of red at the base of your spine. Imagine the color as red as a bright vibrant rose. As you breathe in, begin to draw the energy from the earth. Imagining roots extending from your spine, reaching down into the earth, anchoring you with stability and strength. As you release any tension with each exhale. Inhale deeply, allowing your breath to travel all the way into the roots that ground you. And exhale slowly, releasing any stuck energies and negativity that exists in your life. Visualize the red circle as a red rose planted in rich soil directly through your root chakra and the repetition of the breath opening and expanding as the rose opens its petals, expanding the red light into the rest of your body, releasing anything that no longer serves you. I am grounded and supported by the energy of the earth. I am stable and secure in my being. Cocooned all around you and protecting you with positive energy. This revitalizing energy brings calm and peace into your life. This energy also brings with it a confidence as you imagine standing tall, rooted securely into the earth. Allow yourself a few moments to sit with this feeling, simply breathing in and out naturally, appreciating the balance in your mind, body, and spirit. When you are ready, bring your awareness back to the ground below you. Slowly bring your attention back into your physical body. Bringing attention to the energy at the base of your spine as it carries you through your day with safety and security grounding you. Knowing that you can move through the day with a resilience and strength that live inside you now. Gently begin to flutter your eyes open and bring your senses back into the present moment. I hope you move through your day with confidence today, and if it helps, wear something red. We'll see you next week while we explore the sacral chakra.
