How can I open my root chakra?

[JusticeKane]

I'd really love to strengthen my root chakra to the greatest extent.

My the spiritual journey I focus on now is to feel the pleasure of opening my root chakra, but I am finding it quite difficult to do this.

Can someone allow me the knowledge of how they went about opening their root chakra? Tips, anything! I'm begging you.

It would be wonderful if I could feel rooted in my place, and have a brilliant foundation for the rest of my chakras.

I appreciate any answers!

Ground yourself.

try saying it in your head, "ground me". It should be a start.

If not, get some reiki healing done. Or, all of the above.

Thanks for your input!

Root chakra carries our fears and traumas, so to strengthen it you have to clear those out so new purer energy can fill its place. Ask yourself what frightens you. What are you scared of? It'll be to do with existential fear, survival, security. Maybe you are afraid of death. Don't delve too deep into it at this stage because it could be more harmful than good but just asking yourself those things and feeling and releasing your fear should help a lot.

Also connect more to nature, nature is great for grounding. :) Oh and crystals, get some grounding crystals like black tourmaline or obsidian.

What Scarlett said. ANd not just the really heavy things, but also stuff like: can you stand on your own two feet or do you rely on someone else/others to feel safe and secure in life? If so, then why? When did that first happen, in what situations does that happen etc etc.
It takes a lot of emotional, mental/psychological work, analyzing all that stuff, working your way through it to get chakras to clear and unblock.

When I did my intuitive development courses and we had to feel our 1st chakra, I think there was just 2 or 3 from a group of 22 who could actually feel that chakra. Most could feel other chakras, but not the first ...

Doing guided meditation can also help. Doreen Virtues morning & evening chakra meditation is really good! Gives you ample time to work/feel each chakra.
