From Surviving to Thriving: Healing the Root Chakra for Safety, Belonging & Worthiness
There’s a silent truth I see in so many successful women:
You’ve created the life you once dreamed of…
but part of you is still bracing for it to all fall apart.
You hold it all together, the business, the clients, the family. But your body holds tension you can’t name.
You’re the strong one. The dependable one.
But beneath the polished surface lives a quiet fear: what if it’s still not safe to let go and receive?
This is where energy alignment begins, not in the mind, but in the body.
And the Root Chakra is the foundation.
Why the Root Matters More Than You Think
The Root Chakra governs your sense of stability, worthiness, and belonging.
It’s your energetic link to survival, safety, money, home, and tribe.
When this centre is out of alignment, you might not even notice at first.
You’ll just feel off.
Anxious in your stillness.
Restless even in your wins.
Disconnected from your body and suspicious of slowing down.
Many high-performing women don’t recognise Root chakra misalignment because it hides behind success.
They’ve built from grit, but not from groundedness.
They’ve created wealth, but still operate from old wounds of not enough.
And here’s the truth most won’t tell you:
You don’t heal that with more mindset work.
You heal it through frequency, by getting into deep energetic congruence with safety, wholeness, and your true feminine power.
What’s Blocking You Isn’t What You Think
One of the biggest energetic misalignments I see?
Trying to manifest from the mind, while the body is stuck in survival.
You can tell yourself a thousand affirmations.
You can “do the work” until you’re blue in the face.
But if your subconscious still believes that receiving more will cost your safety, your nervous system will resist your next level.
This is where the Root Chakra shows you the truth.
It reveals the subconscious loyalties to struggle…
The inherited beliefs about survival, money, or being “too much”…
The inner child who still feels unsafe in softness.
The Root shows you where your foundation isn’t built on alignment, but on compensation.
And that’s why it never feels like enough.
From Victim to Mother Earth: Reclaiming Grounded Feminine Power
Every chakra has two sides, the shadow and the superpower, known as archetypes.
In the Root, the shadow archetype is the Victim, disconnected, reactive, and constantly looking over her shoulder.
The empowered archetype? Mother Earth.
She is grounded. She is abundant. She knows her needs are sacred.
She doesn’t prove, she provides, through presence.
She receives. She leads. She trusts herself and the ground she walks on.
When you shift from Victim to Mother Earth, you stop outsourcing your worth.
You stop trying to prove your safety by controlling your environment.
You become the source of safety within.
This is what Root Chakra alignment gives you:
- Nervous system regulation that supports true manifestation
- A felt sense of inner stability, no matter what’s happening around you
- A new relationship with money, where receiving becomes natural
- The power to set foundations that are sustainable, not just successful
You’re Not Stuck, You’re Just Out of Alignment
Here’s what I want you to know:
There’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re not broken. You’re just disconnected from your energetic root.
And once you understand this, everything changes.
You stop overworking for love.
You stop chasing safety in success.
You stop pretending you’re fine when you’re secretly exhausted.
Instead, you drop in.
You align.
You lead from truth, not fear.
Because from this place… your feminine leadership becomes magnetic.
Not because you’ve forced it.
But because you’ve returned to who you truly are.
Root Chakra Reset: A Grounding Practice for Feminine Leaders
If you’re always in your head…
If rest makes you anxious…
If control feels safer than surrender…
Your Root Chakra is calling for your attention.
This centre governs your relationship with safety, survival, trust, and groundedness. But fear doesn’t always show up as fear. Sometimes, it wears disguises:
- You snap in anger when you feel unsupported
- You overwork because resting feels “lazy”
- You micromanage every detail just to feel in control
- You keep waiting for “the other shoe to drop,” even when life is good
These emotional alarms are signs your foundation is shaky, not because you’ve failed, but because your body hasn’t yet caught up with your growth.
Let’s change that.
The Root Reveal: A 5-Minute Energetic Check-In
Step 1: Tune In
Find a quiet space.
Focus on your root chakra (colour red), imagine a ball of light at the base of your spine.
Close your eyes and ask yourself:
“Where in my life am I gripping for control?
What emotions am I avoiding by staying busy?
Where do I still feel unsafe, unsupported, or alone?”
Be honest. Let the truth rise without judgment.
Step 2: Root Breath
Inhale deeply through the nose, imagining your breath travelling all the way down to the base of your spine.
Exhale slowly through the mouth, releasing tension from your jaw, shoulders, and belly.
Repeat 3 deep, steady breaths like this. With each exhale, imagine the fear, tension, or control melting down into the Earth.
Step 3: Affirm + Anchor
Visualise roots growing from your root chakra, and feet, anchoring you into the Earth like a tree.
Feel yourself held.
Then, repeat out loud:
“I am safe in my body.
I am rooted in trust.
I am held by something greater than my fear.”
Feel the truth of those words settle in.
This is how you begin to rewire your energy:
Not by forcing faith, but by feeling safe enough to soften.
