Hey Lovelies,
Ever have those days where you just feel... off? Like something's not quite aligned, but you can't figure out what it is?
Maybe you're more anxious than usual, or you can't seem to focus, or you just don't feel like yourself.
That's usually your body and energy telling you something needs attention.
I'll be real with you - figuring out what you need and staying connected to yourself isn't always easy. Some days I feel grounded and amazing, other days I'm just trying to get back to center.
And if you've ever felt that way, you're definitely not alone.
How I Discovered Chakras (And Why I Actually Believe In Them Now)
A couple years ago, I had my energy read by my cousin who does Reiki.
She told me:
my throat chakra was blocked
My crown and third eye chakras were wide open and glowing in vivid purple
sacral chakra needed some serious attention.
At the time, my husband and I were in a passionate parenting disagreement and I was NOT feeling him. So when she mentioned the sacral chakra, I was honestly shocked - like, how did she KNOW?
But the throat chakra thing? That hit even harder.
I realized I had completely lost my voice. Not literally, but I'd started second-guessing everything I thought and felt. I became afraid to share my opinions. I didn't even know who I was anymore.
Part of why I decided to do the reading in the first place was because I was feeling so stifled. So stuck. I was desperate for insight into this feeling.
That reading sent me on this whole journey of rediscovering myself - focusing on my problem areas. And honestly, blogging has been a HUGE part of that. Writing freely, sharing my thoughts - it's helping me open up and use my voice again.
I was already familiar with the power of positive affirmations, so I started applying them specifically to the chakras that needed attention - especially my throat and sacral chakras.
When I combined affirmations with really understanding what each chakra does? That's when things started to shift for me.
Wait, What Even Are Chakras?
Okay, so if you're new to this (or rolling your eyes a little), let me break it down:
Chakras are energy centers in your body that help keep everything flowing the way it should.
When they're aligned, you feel connected, vibrant, and ready to take on whatever comes your way. And who doesn't want that?
There are seven main chakras, each one governing different aspects of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Let me walk you through all seven and share the affirmations that can help you align each one.
Trust me, this stuff works. Give it a try.
The 7 Chakras + Affirmations to Balance Your Energy
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) - Getting Grounded
Location: Base of your spine
What it governs: Stability, safety, feeling grounded
Your Root Chakra is your foundation - your connection to the earth. Think of it like the roots of a tree keeping you steady.
Affirmation:
"I am safe, I am steady, and I've got this."
When you repeat this one, you're building that solid feeling of stability. Picture a tree with roots going deep into the ground - that's you when this chakra is aligned. Rooted and ready for anything.
2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) - Your Creative Center
Location: Just below your belly button
What it governs: Creativity, passion, pleasure, emotional expression
This is where your creativity lives. Your Sacral Chakra is all about passion, pleasure, and letting yourself FEEL. This is where the fun stuff happens.
Affirmation:
"I'm allowed to feel everything and create from that space."
This affirmation helps you tap into that creative energy and let it flow. When your Sacral Chakra is balanced, you feel inspired to explore life and express yourself freely.
It's a beautiful thing.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) - Your Confidence Boost
Location: Upper abdomen (around your stomach area)
What it governs: Personal power, confidence, inner strength
This is where your personal power lives. Your confidence. Your inner strength. Your superhero energy.
Affirmation:
"I'm capable, I'm strong, and I believe in myself."
This one is like a shot of confidence straight to your soul. When this chakra is aligned, you feel unstoppable. Ready to chase your dreams and handle whatever life throws at you.
Honestly, we all need more of that energy.
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) - All About Love
Location: Center of your chest
What it governs: Love, compassion, connection
Your Heart Chakra is your emotional center. This is where love, compassion, and connection happen. It's what links you to other people and to the universe.
Affirmation:
"I choose love - for myself and for others."
This affirmation opens your heart to all the love that's available to you. When your Heart Chakra is aligned, forgiveness comes easier. Connection feels natural. And spreading kindness becomes second nature.
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - Speaking Your Truth
Location: Your throat (surprise!)
What it governs: Communication, self-expression, authenticity
This one's exactly where you'd think - at your throat. It governs how you communicate and express yourself. It's your VOICE, and it matters.
Affirmation:
"I speak my truth with confidence and clarity."
This one encourages you to speak your mind and show up as your authentic self. When this chakra is aligned, you feel empowered to share who you really are without fear or holding back.
And that kind of freedom? Life-changing.
(This is the one I've been working on the most, and honestly, starting this blog has been a huge part of opening it back up.)
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - Trusting Your Gut
Location: Between your eyebrows
What it governs: Intuition, inner wisdom, clarity
Right between your eyebrows is your Third Eye Chakra - your center for intuition and inner wisdom. Your personal compass, basically.
Affirmation:
"My intuition guides me, and I listen to it."
Most of us already know we have intuitive power, right? This affirmation boosts it. When your Third Eye is aligned, you make choices that actually resonate with who you are. You feel more in tune with your path.
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - Your Spiritual Connection
Location: Top of your head
What it governs: Spiritual connection, universal consciousness, higher wisdom
At the top of your head sits your Crown Chakra. This one is all about your spiritual connection and your link to something bigger than yourself - the universe's infinite wisdom.
Affirmation:
"I'm connected to something bigger than myself, and that brings me peace."
This affirmation invites that cosmic energy into your life. When your Crown Chakra is aligned, you feel a deep sense of connection and unity with everything around you.
It's profound.
How to Actually Use These Chakra Affirmations
Okay, so you have the affirmations. Now what?
Here's what I do:
When I'm feeling generally "off": I go through all seven chakras and say each affirmation out loud. It's like a full-body reset.
When I know what's wrong: I focus on the specific chakra that needs attention. Blocked creativity? Sacral chakra. Can't speak up? Throat chakra. Feeling unsafe? Root chakra.
In my journal: I write the affirmations down. There's something powerful about putting pen to paper that makes them sink in deeper.
During meditation: I'll visualize each chakra as a glowing ball of light while repeating its affirmation.
There's no "right" way to do this. Just do what feels good to you.
Listen, I Get It - This Might Sound Woo-Woo
Some of you are reading this thinking "chakras? energy centers? girl, what?"
And I totally get it. A few years ago, I would've been skeptical too.
But here's the thing: even if you're not totally convinced this stuff works, why not give it a shot?
At the very least, you're building some beautiful self-love habits through affirmations. You're taking a moment to check in with yourself. You're being intentional about your well-being.
But if you really lean into it and put intention behind it? You might end up feeling beautifully balanced and connected to yourself and the universe.
And honestly, what do you have to lose?
