Affirmations are a powerful way to re-program the mind toward positive thoughts, improve mood and self-esteem, and manifest the goals in our lives.
But did you know that affirmations can also help balance your chakras and promote balance and harmony in all our energies? So let’s learn more about chakra affirmations.
What are the Benefits of Chakra Affirmations?
When the chakras align, the body’s energies flow evenly and powerfully, vibrating in harmony to amplify our intentions and work in harmony with the universe. When the chakras are misaligned, or in a state of imbalance, our energies are blocked or drained, leaving us feeling disconnected and potentially impairing our health.
Because the chakras are made of energy, they respond to the energies that we create and send them. Likewise, our words and thoughts manifest those energies, so chakra affirmations help energize and balance each chakra.
Chakra affirmations can be directed at the specific chakra out of balance or used to simply energize and harmonize all your chakras every day. Here are some powerful chakra affirmations
Root Chakra Affirmations
The root chakra is at the base of the spine and is the foundation of all the chakras. It helps us feel grounded and connected, with stability and security. When the root chakra is imbalanced, we can feel insecure, anxious, turbulent, and restless. We lose our sense of connectedness and belonging in the world.
Some example root chakra affirmations include:
- I AM safe and grounded
- I AM supported by mother earth
- I AM connected to my body
Sacral Chakra Affirmations
The sacral chakra is in the lower abdomen and is called the “dwelling place of the Self.” It governs the functioning of our internal and reproductive organs and gives us the emotional courage and resilience for deep intimacy and close relationships.
Conversely, when the sacral chakra is imbalanced, we can feel pain in the lower back or reproductive organs, emotional detachment, and lack of creativity.
Some example sacral chakra affirmations include:
- I AM passionate
- I AM a creative being
- I receive pleasure in all aspects of my life
Solar Plexus Chakra Affirmations
The solar plexus chakra is situated slightly above the navel and creates feelings of power, self-worth, and self-confidence. The solar plexus gives us the confidence to express spontaneity and playfulness and helps us be responsible, meet challenges, and make good decisions.
When the solar plexus chakra is imbalanced, it can lead to feelings of low self-esteem, aggression, inability to take responsibility, and a victim mentality.
Some example solar plexus affirmations include:
- I manifest with ease and grace
- I AM worthy and confident
- I AM free from limitations
Heart Chakra Affirmations
The heart chakra is located just above the heart and provides a balance between the three physical chakras below it and the three mental and spiritual chakras above it. It is the center and focal point of all your energies and manifests love.
A heart chakra imbalance may cause a person to experience loneliness, shyness, lack of empathy, over-dependence on validation from others, or an inability to forgive.
Some example heart chakra affirmations include:
- I AM loving to myself and to others
- I AM united with all things in the light of love
- I live in balance and harmony
Throat Chakra Affirmations
The throat chakra is positioned in the throat. It’s the place where you find your voice, speak your truth, and communicate with others. It connects your inner world with the external one, allowing you to express yourself.
An imbalanced throat chakra may cause feelings of inhibition or uncertainty in expressing yourself or speaking the truth, fear of public speaking or talking openly, inability to defend yourself or express opinions, or frequent misstatements and communication accidents.
Some example throat chakra affirmations include:
- I speak the truth freely and openly
- I AM surrounded by people who are eager to hear me
- I can clearly express myself
Third Eye Chakra Affirmations
The third eye chakra is located on the forehead, between the eyes. It allows you to perceive the world beyond the realm of your physical sense, giving you a greater understanding of the universe and a clearer sense of purpose. Conversely, an imbalanced third eye chakra can lead to a feeling of disconnection from your intuition, a lack of vision in your dream world, headaches and eye pain, lack of vision and purpose.
Some example third eye affirmations include:
- I see all things clearly
- I AM open to the wisdom within
- I AM connected to the wisdom of the universe
Crown Chakra Affirmations
The crown chakra is located on the very top of the head. It connects us with the Supreme Self, the deeper flow of the universe, and feelings of enlightenment. The crown chakra is associated with thought, memory, intelligence, and focus, and it allows us to release the ego and embrace a higher state of being.
When the crown chakra is imbalanced, it can lead to disillusionment, cynicism, depression and melancholy, and negativity and apathy. Imbalance can also lead to confusion, self-destructive or addictive behaviors, and fatigue.
Some example crown chakra affirmations include:
- Divinity resides within
- I AM guided by a higher power
- I AM filled with divine energy
