"Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale." ~ Zig Ziglar
We’re currently living in a time where money is essential for most of our basic needs — paying for a roof over our heads, covering daily expenses, and maintaining a certain quality of life.
For many people, money can also be a major source of stress. The feeling of “lack” can be something passed down from parent to child or absorbed from the community around us.
🧠The Energy of Money
When you’re facing money problems, it’s important to become aware of the feelings you have around money.
Those feelings carry an energy — and energy is the very thing that can either attract money into your experience or keep it away. Awareness is always the first step.
When we focus on what we can’t afford, on bills piling up, or on fear of “never having enough,” we’re pouring our personal energy into a state of lack. Energy is real. Everything is made of energy.
So, when we give our attention to poorness or scarcity, that’s exactly where our energy — and results — will flow.
Remember: energy flows where attention goes. It always has and always will.
The key is to shift our focus toward abundance, gratitude, and the belief that more is possible. This isn’t about ignoring reality — it’s about training our energy to align with the outcomes we actually want.
🌱 More Than Money: The Root Chakra’s Role
The root chakra (or base chakra) is located at the base of the spine.
It’s linked to our sense of security, stability, and survival — which includes money, job, shelter, our most basic needs, our sense of belonging, and our connection to the Earth (grounding).
When the root chakra is balanced, we feel grounded, stable, and confident.
We trust that our needs will be met. We feel secure in our home, in our work, and in our ability to create a safe life for ourselves.
⚠️ What Causes Root Chakra Imbalances?
Root chakra imbalances can be caused by:
-
Trauma, abuse, or abandonment
-
Childhood or societal conditioning that reinforces fear
-
Holding on to painful past experiences without healing from them
When we cling to old hurts, they can feel heavy and draining. This heaviness blocks the natural flow of energy in our chakras.
But when we learn from those experiences, see them as opportunities for growth, and release the emotional weight, our energy can shift and return to balance.
đź”’ Signs Your Root Chakra is Blocked
When the root chakra is blocked, you may experience:
-
Worry about finances, job stability, or living situation
-
Low self-esteem and lack of confidence
-
Disconnection from your physical body
-
Pain, tension, or illness anywhere from the hips down to the feet
The root chakra distributes energy to both our external survival needs (money, home, work) and our internal lower body systems.
When it’s blocked, you might feel this as:
-
Lower back pain
-
Hip, leg, knee, or foot discomfort
-
Digestive or colon issues
-
A constant struggle with bills or unstable work/living arrangements
đź©ş The Root Chakra and the Body
The root chakra is associated with the adrenal glands — two small glands sitting on top of the kidneys.
These glands produce hormones that travel through your bloodstream, acting as chemical messengers to regulate key functions in your body, especially your fight-or-flight response.
The root chakra also governs the lower spine, kidneys, and lymphatic system.
Your lymphatic system produces and moves lymph — a clear fluid containing white blood cells — helping protect your body from infection and maintain overall health.
When root chakra energy is strong and balanced, these systems function optimally, giving you the physical vitality and emotional stability to thrive.
🌟 In Summary
Your root chakra is the energetic foundation of your entire life.
Balancing it can transform your relationship with money, improve your physical health, and create a deep sense of stability and safety.
The more aware you become of where your energy is going, the more power you have to redirect it toward abundance, security, and grounded confidence.
