It is a little tough to balance your root chakra, First of all, you have to understand the reason why your root chakra is imbalanced, then we will talk about how to balance your root chakra.
Why your root chakra is imbalanced
There could be a number of reasons why your root chakra is imbalanced but there are two main reasons one is psychological and another one is Physical.
The psychological reason why your root chakra is imbalance & Symptoms
Low-energized Root chakra:- If you have low energy then your root chakra is also low-energized, you will feel insecure in life about your future, Your self-beliefs also go down day by day, You might be a multibillionaire person but you are insecure in life.
Negativity:- If you going to do anything in your life, you always feel negativity, even when you are doing it right then also you are thinking negative results about it, Or If you feel stuck in life, let’s say for the last five years there is no improvement in your life, your quality of life did not improve yet then this is a clear sign that your root chakra is imbalanced.
Depression:- You have Depression about anything for long periods of time, it may be about your job, or it may be about your family, If you are a depressed person then this is a clear sign that your root chakra is imbalance.
The physical reason why your root chakra is imbalance & Symptoms
Wrong Diet:- This is one of the key factors that why your root chakra is Imbalance, You may have a hectic daily schedule, did not able to eat at the same time every day or eat too many non-vegetarian foods or street foods, and you drink a lot of alcohol or you smoke.
Constipation:- This is another factor, if you have constipation then this is the clear message that your root chakra is imbalanced. If you take care of your diet then this will be no more.
Pain in the lower part of your body:- If you have pain in your legs and knees then your root chakra is Imbalance Because the lower part of your body is very weak and if you have some kind of abdominal pain or you have a hernia, hydrocele then this is the clear signal that your root chakra is Imbaanced.
The energy of your body:- Some people always feel low energy in their body even when they wake up in the morning they feel their sleep is not completed at night, they will not want to do any work, and they will always feel that if I sleep a little more, then maybe it would be better, the body will always be a triad, then your root chakra is Imbalance.
Nerve problem:- There are so many nerve problems but I want to mention just one problem and that is Essential tremor, If you have this problem then your root chakra is totally imbalanced or your root chakra is blocked, and it needs root chakra healing.
Are these two psychological & physical problems related to each other
Yes, these two are related to each other, because when you are depressed, you have low energy mentally and physically, and you’re thinking negative things about yourself and your life then you feel separated from society, you feel there is no one who can help you, even god. Then you are helpless and can’t express your problem to anybody then these feelings can express themselves into somatic problems.
How to balance your root chakra psychological problems
First, you have to control your Psychological problem for these there are numerous ways you can do it but we will talk about the easiest way you can control your mind. This is a very effective way you can control your mind.
Nasikagra drishti / agochari mudra (the gesture of invisibility meditation)
Sit in siddhasana, your spine should be straight, and your head facing forward, then relax your body completely and close your eyes for 5 to 6 min, Then open your eyes and focus on the tip of your nose, your breathing should be normal.
When your gaze and focus of both your eyes are fixed on your nose-tip, you will see a double outline but after a few seconds, this line became a single line and it seems like a V shape then focus on the end part of V shape where two lines are merged with each other.
What to do if you are unable to see a V shape?
The position of your eyes is not perfect, in this case, Take one finger then focus your eyes on this fingertip, Place your fingers 1-2 inches in front of your eyes then focus on the fingertip and hold your focus on your fingertip then slowly bring it to the nose tip.
What to do when you feel discomfort?
Release the position, relax for a couple of minutes, and close your eyes give them some rest then do it again, do this meditation for 5 rounds, within one or two weeks your eyes can able to handle this pressure, then you will be able to do it for 1 or 2 min but did not do it more than 5 min. Do this Meditation for 3 months.
When you feel comfortable after one or two weeks then
then, you should aware of your breathing, feel that your breath goes in and out through the nose, and bring your awareness to that subtle sound that your breath is making, after one month you will find that you will be able to completely drown in this meditation.
Why do we recommend this meditation or mudra:- Where ever you are right now, just try to do this meditation for a couple of seconds, then you can feel, when you are doing this meditation your mind will be able to concentrate on what you are doing, your mind became almost blank, there is no other thinking about life, money, problems e.t.c.
