I recommend you to follow these steps for best results.
1. Read the text and look at the foot sole photo.
2. Listen to the audio of the guided meditation at the end of the blog and use it the first couple of times until you have mastered it and are able to do the full exercise in a minute or two.
How to Open the Root Chakra Fast
This exercise focuses on the subtle body, as the root chakra exists as a connection in the subtle energy field. Many grounding practices—such as walking barefoot, eating red fruits and vegetables, hugging trees, or working in the garden—help with grounding the physical body. However, the root chakra itself is energy and is located in the subtle body, not the physical body.
Because of this, the technique I’m sharing with you here works directly with your subtle or energy body. When you ground from within, you also ground externally.
Think of it like a car and its driver. The car represents the physical body, while the driver represents the subtle body. Adjusting the car won’t affect the driver, but adjusting the driver will naturally influence the car.
By working with your subtle energy field, this exercise allows you to open and ground the root chakra at its core, bringing stability and balance to both your physical and energetic being.
Where Is the Root Chakra Located on the Body?
The root chakra is located in the perineum, which is the area between the genitals and the anus. This chakra is the foundation of your energy system, just like the roots of a tree. A blocked or unbalanced root chakra can cause feelings of fear, instability, or physical discomfort in the lower body.
By learning how to ground your root chakra through meditation, visualization, and energetic exercises, you can restore balance and strengthen your foundation.
Like a Tree
The subtle body is where the chakras are located. Grounding the Muladhara Chakra energetically has a direct effect on the physical body.
Your physical body is similar to a tree:
Your legs are like the roots.
Your hips and core are like the trunk.
Your arms and head are like the branches.
Weak roots make the tree weak, affecting everything above them. When the roots are strong and firm, the entire structure is aligned and healthy.
When we are properly grounded, standing strong and connected to the Earth like a tree, we become more resilient to external influences. We don’t get easily shaken by projections, negativity, or fear from others.
The wind can blow as hard as it wants, but a tree with strong roots remains firm. The same applies to us—when we are grounded, outside influences cannot uproot our sense of balance or security.
If you want to open your root chakra fast, practicing grounding daily will strengthen your foundation and make external triggers less disruptive.
The Exercise
If you’re looking for an effective grounding technique for the root chakra, this meditation will help you connect to the Earth’s energy anytime, anywhere.
You don’t need to be directly connected to the ground—you can do this meditation:
✔ Indoors (at home, in an apartment, or even in a skyscraper)
✔ Outdoors (in a park, garden, or on the beach)
✔ While traveling (on a flight or in a car)
By visualizing roots extending downward, you create a strong energetic connection with the Earth. This practice balances the Muladhara Chakra and brings a sense of stability, strength, and security.
How to Ground Your Root Chakra
I no longer practice long grounding sessions but instead repeat this short and effective root chakra grounding technique multiple times a day, each time for about a minute. This method keeps my energy balanced throughout the day.
When I guide this meditation for others, I take them through the practice for 20 minutes and then allow them to meditate for another 10 minutes to experience its effects.
With regular practice, grounding will become second nature, and you will be able to do the shorter version anytime, even while standing.
Step-by-Step Root Chakra Grounding Technique
1. Remove your shoes and place your feet hip-width apart. You can stand or sit, whichever feels more comfortable.
2. Stamp your feet firmly on the ground 2–3 times to establish contact with the surface.
3. Focus on point 1 (see image). You might feel heat, cold, vibration, or tingling. Once you sense it, visualize a root extending from this point, going deep into the Earth.
4. Move to point 2 and repeat the same steps.
5. Move to point 3 and repeat the same steps.
6. Point 1 → In the ground
Point 2 → In the ground
Point 3 → In the ground
7. Bring your awareness to point 4. This point does not connect to the ground. First, connect points 1, 2, and 3 to point 4 by visualizing a string between them:
• 1 to 4
• 2 to 4
• 3 to 4
8. Bring your awareness to your perineum (the area between the genitals and anus). Once you feel a sensation here, bring your awareness back to point 4. Now, visualize pulling a string from point 4, along your leg, and connecting it to the perineum.
9. You can start with either foot, choosing the one that feels stronger first. Then, repeat on the other side.
At first, we begin by grounding one foot at a time, allowing the process to develop naturally. The goal is to reach a point where both feet can ground simultaneously. When the moment comes where a person thinks, “I need to ground,” and immediately feels the roots from both feet extending downward, this marks the transition to a more advanced stage.
From this point onward, the meditation will always continue with both feet connecting to the ground at the same time, with each foot establishing three points of connection. Then, the three points on the left and the three on the right connect with point 4. Point 4 then links to the perineum through both legs. From there, both kidneys simultaneously connect to the perineum. Finally, the perineum extends downward into the ground.
Once this process has been mastered, the meditation can be practiced multiple times a day, taking only a minute or two each time.
Connecting the Root Chakra to the Kidneys
10. Shift your awareness to your lower back, focusing on the kidney region.
11. Choose one kidney and focus on it. If you feel a sensation, squeeze, vibration, or push, visualize pulling a string from this kidney to the perineum.
12. Repeat on the other kidney, connecting it to the perineum.
Now you have connected:
✔ Both feet to the ground
✔ Both feet to the perineum
✔ Both kidneys to the perineum
13. Finally, visualize a root extending from the perineum deep into the ground, connecting to the Earth’s core, fire, and lava.
Interpreting Colors in Root Chakra Meditation
During meditation, you may see colors in different areas:
• Left leg (feminine energy) – Connection with women
• Right leg (masculine energy) – Connection with men
• Perineum (root chakra energy) – Connection with yourself
Each color carries meaning:
➡ Green
➡ Yellow
➡ Orange
💬 If you see another color, leave a comment or message me—I’ll be happy to interpret it for you.
How Often Should You Do This Meditation?
✔ First three days – Practice once a day in the morning
✔ Next three days – Add an evening session
Over time, you may notice that as soon as you think of grounding, your feet instinctively release roots into the Earth. Eventually, grounding will take only a few minutes—or even seconds.
Once you reach this level, you can practice grounding anytime throughout the day, whenever needed.
