Speaker 1 (00:08):
Everyone. It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions. Thank
you for joining me. I am going to dive into
some energetics around our chakra system, our energetic systems in
the body, and today I'm going to really focus on
the root chakra and why stabilizing your root chakra, thinking
(00:32):
about it, using it consciously and actively can be a
game changer. Because when our root chakra isn't stable, nothing
above it can land. And right now, something is shifting
in the collective and also in the collective root chakra.
(00:53):
So a lot of the frustration, agitation, tension, irritability, things
that you may be feeling in your physical body, mind,
spirit may not even be yours. And I've mentioned this
before that we have so many energetic and collective shifts,
so much going on physically in the world, stimulating us
(01:17):
at quicker velocities, that it is challenging to synthesize it
and make it personal and land. And if something is
feeling different in you right now, overwhelmed or even unreachable,
or where there's an urgency that you can't quite name,
(01:39):
an agitation or an urgency, you're not alone in this.
You're sensitive, You're calibrating. You're changing, and there are times
when I feel it and sense it and don't always
know how to fully explain it. But what I can
do is I can feel it in my body, especially
(02:02):
in my lower body and nervous system. And I feel
things when I talk about my lower body. And let's
just connect this to the root chakra, the pelvis, the
base of the spine, the hips, the legs, the knees,
the ankles, the feet. Think about your root chakra, not
(02:22):
only just the base of your spine and your sacrum,
but think about the root chakra connecting about eight to
twelve inches below you, below your feet where you can't
even see, so even right now in your mind's eye,
maybe take a breath, close your eyes or envision this,
(02:42):
and of course if you're driving, don't close your eyes.
Be mindful, but really just take a moment, and wherever
you are, just go ahead and take a deep breath
inhale with me. Open your jaw, relax your jaw x healfully,
release your tongue if it's up at the roof of
(03:03):
your mouth. Roll your shoulders back, maybe roll your neck
side to side up down, just loosen your body. But
most of all move your pelvis from side to side,
and then go ahead and imagine eyes closed or open,
that your root chakra begins below your physical body, below
(03:26):
your feet, that there is an invisible field that is
physically grounding you into this earth. And of course normally
we associate the root chakra with red, but a lot
of times when I connect fully into my root chakra
and my body and that intangible energetic presence, and I'm
(03:50):
going deep into the center of the earth, the iron
core crystal of the earth, which goes through the second dimension,
the tulluric realm where all the mineral and my scilium
and crystals and strata live. So much intelligence and nutrients there,
all the way down to the center of the earth,
(04:11):
the iron core crystal. It's potent, it's black, it's mineral rich,
it's red, it's vital, it's alive. So think of mushrooms
and my silium. Think of that as your root chakra.
I want you to start envisioning your root chakra as
(04:33):
a living field, a living field to engage with, because
when the root chakra is engaged, not only are you
physically connected and grounded and anchored into your body, you're
anchored in to the collective, but in a very stabilizing way.
(04:56):
So when the root chakra, your root chakra stable, everything
else can build and land. And I'm talking relationships, communication, boundaries, love, money, safety, security,
physical health, and well being. It all initiates here in
(05:17):
the root. And the root starts outside of our body,
and as humans, it's easier to think of it to
actually imagine or envision it below our physical bodies. And
if you want to dive deeper into the chakras, the
energetic systems and the actual physical places they correlate with
(05:39):
the body. I did a root chakra episode forever ago
on the root chakra and boundaries, and that's really helpful
because I go into that. But you can also just
search the root chakra, the colors, the words, the physical
attributes associated. I am safe, I am secure, I'm rooted,
I'm grounded, I am physically present, I am rooted in
(06:03):
the now and in this timeline, I have everything I need.
I am fully resourced. You can say all of these
things and you intuitively know, but I want you to
start naming right now where you feel yourself grounded. Is
it in your feet or your ankles? Is it in
(06:25):
your hips and pelvis? Is it your thighs, Like, where
are you physically strong in that lower portion of your body?
Go right to it. I know for me, my thighs
are like I can build muscle there really easily. Like
I can really build muscle in my quods and my thighs.
(06:46):
It's just the way that I'm built, And that's logical.
That's my physical body frame. So what is it about
that portion of my body that is stabilizing in my
root chakra? For you, it may be your ankles or
your feet, or it could be your hips, your pelvis.
(07:10):
Where do you immediately go in that section of your
body that feels strong? Start there. Start with that simple,
literal place where you know is the strongest in your
lower body, and go there. And this what I'm going
to suggest that you do sounds really simple, but it's
energetically connected and profound because of what we're anchoring in
(07:33):
right now. Ask that place, that physical place that you
can identify in your root chakra that is physically strong.
Ask that to anchor in and provide strength and nutrients
to the other aspects of your root chakra, your knees,
your ankles, your feet, your thighs, your hips, your pelvis,
(07:54):
your elimination systems, your bladder. Even though a lot of
times there's overlap between like the elimination system, the bowels
and the bladder with the sacral chakra as well, because
they're associated more with movement, which is more sacral chakra,
there's still a lot of overlap there, and so stay
in your root chakra. But what I will say, and
(08:16):
a friend reminded me of this recently and it was like, oh, duh,
I knew this because I've sinceed it before. About our
pelvis and our root chakra is very much connected to
our jaw, which is our throat chakra. The all of
the chakras and the energetic systems they communicate with each other.
So one thing, one practice, I want each of you
(08:40):
to do, and I want you to do this over
the course of the next week before we move on
to another chakra. And I know I'm coming at this
from a different perspective, but I want you to find
that physical place in your root chakra that you know
is your stronghold, your strong shuit. For me, it's my thighs,
like it's just it. It's my thighs. And while I would
(09:02):
love for it to be my pelvis or something else.
I'm like, No, my thighs are my strongest, like it's
where I build muscle. It's where i'm strong, like I know,
like when I am walking or walking uphill, like my
stronger than my glutes. Love for it to be my glutes,
love to have more junk up in my trunk. But
for me it's not like And for you it may
(09:23):
be your glutes like you go like, but for me
it's not wherever is strong. You go to that place
and you say, I need to stabilize everything into my body.
And this is about movement. It's about fire, which really
connects with an energy that we're igniting right now. And
(09:43):
the more the more you stabilize your body, the more
you're going to start stabilizing relationships, your money, your work
and life direction, your anxiety or depression, your move and
your energetic edge, what you are attracting into your life.
(10:06):
There is so much potential right now for manifestation attracting
in but I know that as broad sweeping, it all
comes back to your root chakra. It really does. We
are in a place right now where the more stable
we are physically in our root, and I am not
just talking about being grounded. I am talking about energetically
(10:30):
stabilizing this lower foundation in our body. It gives us
access to these higher dimensions and higher levels of clarity.
So let's just talk about relationships in the root chakra.
(10:53):
In relationships right now, just take a minute and ask
yourself where you are feeling some struggle or imbalance. There's
probably a relationship that comes to mind, whether it is romantic, interpersonal, familial, work, colleague,
whatever it is. What relationship is coming up for you
right now? And what is out of balance in that relationship?
(11:18):
Is it draining you, like too much being taken from
you neediness, take take, take need need coming from that
external from that other person. Is it you worrying about
and over carrying, leaking energy, over giving to someone else?
Is it imbalanced in the way that your relationship, the
(11:43):
relationship that is coming to mind is not meeting you
where you are energetically and you're carrying the load, whether
that's creatively energetically, And they might have the potential to
do it, but right now they don't have the capacity.
Just feel and know where the imbalance is. Any blame,
just recognize the imbalance find that in your body. Mine
(12:05):
immediately goes right to my jaw, like the tension as
I'm speaking this to you, my jaw is tensing up.
Where is your body tensing? And it may not even
be in your root chakra where your body is tensing,
it'd be tensing in your heart. It could be which
means there is a imbalance between your root chakra and
(12:29):
your heart chakra. It could be tensing in your gut,
like in your diaphragm area, your stomach, belly button. So
that means there's an imbalance between your root chakra and
your solar plexus. You could have a headache right now,
or your eyes could feel really burnie or dry. Okay,
(12:53):
third eye, something in the third eye and the root?
So where is it for you? So immediately, where did
when I'm talking about what relationship comes to mind? Where's
the imbalance? And I say these things, where did you
find it in your body? And if it was in
the root chakra region, like if it went to your
knees or your ankles, then it's root chakra root chakra
(13:15):
you know, like the imbalance is right in the root.
Go with it. You don't need to analyze and ask
questions immediately right now, just pause and put the person,
the actual person to person dynamics within yourself and with
this other person. Put them aside for a minute and
(13:38):
literally take a moment with me and breathe inhale deeply
through your nose for four seconds. One two three four,
Hold for four seconds. One two three four exhale four
seconds one two three four, whole for four seconds. And
(14:01):
in this hold, imagine the root chakra and that other
chakra or placing your body is clicking into coherence. Now
repeat inhale four seconds, hold four seconds, exhale four seconds,
(14:32):
hold four seconds. Find the balance, whatever chakras, whatever places
in your body, create cohesion. One more time inhale four seconds,
hold four seconds, exhale four seconds and hold and in
(15:01):
that hold right now, you're creating coherence, balance, cohesion. Now
just kind of shake it out a little bit. This
is not about overthinking this year. This energy is not
asking for over analysis psychoanalysis. It's not dramatic. This is
(15:22):
your system stabling, saying and signaling. Whatever dynamic is no
longer stable. I am stabilizing and you can do this anytime,
so next time. And I know this sounds so flip
and simple. Sometimes it's you know, OCAM's razor. Sometimes the
simplest stuff it's right there in front of us. But
(15:44):
we love as humans to make things complex and come
and and and love to dive into the complexity of things.
I certainly do. But the answers right now are in
plain sight. So when you feel the irritation in your
relationships coming up, you come back to that four seconds.
(16:05):
So it's four four four second inhale, four second hold,
four second exhale, four second hold, stabilize, repeat and go ahead.
We did it three times, repeat it four times, and
ask for the clarity to come, but also ask for
(16:26):
the strength in your own system to be able to
take the highest action and in the most energetically cohesive signal.
That's the important part is moving right now in our
(16:46):
relationship dynamics from a place of cohesion rather than emotional
highs or lows. And when we do that, there is
this loosen and it's also signaling out to the field
energetically and collectively we're creating a greater cohesion and your
(17:08):
body will know this. Practicing this over and over again,
I promise you will create some steadiness energetically and also
reassess when this like if these relationship dynamics are triggered,
when they're triggered, again, pause, find where it's triggering in
your body, because maybe today it triggered in your heart,
(17:31):
but maybe in two days it triggers in your knees
or your shoulders or your wrist. So it may move
a little bit. And it's just showing you between your
root chakra and other aspects of your body where the
energy is traveling and moving. And again, I know this
sounds simple if you want to relate this to money,
(17:55):
work and your life direction. Right now, you may feel
a lot of pressure economically because yes, we've got a
ton of inflation. There's a lot of uncertainty geopolitically what's
going on, and there's this massive urgency to figure things
(18:17):
out and make something happen. And a lot of that
is the astrology, the numerology, the energetic field, things compounding.
But it's also really hitting our body in our nervous system,
and it can tighten. It can create a tight stomach,
a shallow breath, a low level urgency that can create
(18:39):
emotional irritation. So it may or may not physically or
literally be anything going on in your world. But you're
sensing the collective. So when this happens, okay, and bringing
this back to work, money, and it's really a sense
(19:01):
of safety and security when you start to get concerned
about work or finances or your general life direction. I'm
going to bucket all three of those right now, Pause
and say is this mine? I mean, immediately and you
get a yes or no. And if the answer is yes,
(19:23):
then it is something out of whack in your physical body.
And when you get that yes, boom, yes, find it
in your physical body. And immediately when I said that
and asked that, I got a yes. So whatever is
filling out a whack now, I'm like, I got a yes,
And where did I feel it? I have like a
tightness in my diaphragm, So it's solar plexus. So it's
(19:45):
root and solar plexus. Again. Do you see how whatever
it is I am bringing back to the physical body.
But with this, when it comes to money, your work,
your professional work, and if you are a stay at
home mom and you don't have a job right now,
or you're unemployed right now, if that, like whatever your
(20:06):
circumstances are, you're on disability whatever it may be. You
don't have to use the term work. It's safety in
life circumstances, so you can replace that like it's income money.
It's energetic exchange is what it is in general life direction,
meaning clarity. There is this urgency to fine tune that
(20:27):
right now that it's like if we push too hard,
add too much force, we're missing it and we're actually
creating more agitation. But ask is this mind and if
the answer is yes, you find it immediately in your
physical body. And then you go back to that four
four four four four breath cycle. Four times four is sixteen.
(20:47):
So there's like there's a there's a numerological frequency and
sequence going on here, the one being about your individuality
correlating with the energy of this year, the frequency of
the one that mycillium that I was referring to, meaning
everything is interconnected, the collective consciousness but also you the individual.
(21:07):
And then the sixth being about wisdom, being about putting
your own oxygen mask on self responsibility, health and wellness
and your intuition. There's a lot connected there. And when
you add one plus six that equal seven, and the
energy of the seven is about transcendence and it does
connect to cohesion the seventh dimension. So all the things
(21:28):
that I'm sharing with you right now, they have there's
a frequency to it, there's an energetic component, and I'm
keeping it simple. But come back to the body. If
when you ask the question, when it comes up around
again finances work, general meaning and direction. If the answer
is no, that it is not yours, first of all,
(21:52):
smile not smiling that it's somebody else's problem. Smiling, because
that's going to trigger kind of an endorphin situation in
your body. Not kind of, it actually creates a chemical
reaction in the body, So an endorphin. So if the
answer is no, smile, create the endorphin. Acknowledge the no,
(22:15):
and then also see where it lands in your physical body,
meaning where are you so right immediately when I said,
like when I went to the know, which went to
this is something external, something outside of me. And that
external could be the collective, It could be my husband
and my dogs. It could be someone who visited my
(22:36):
house and left some energy. I don't need to know,
I don't need to analyze it. Or it could be
something going on in the house next door to me.
Again't don't get lost in that. Just is this mine. No, okay, smile,
laugh if you want a little bit, that'll even pump
it up. And then find where something external is landing
(22:59):
in your body. Find where something external is landing in
your body. And for me, immediately went to my shoulders,
so it's heart chakra. But it's not in the front
of my heart chakra, so it's not in my breath
(23:21):
or lungs. It went back to my shoulders, my shoulder blades.
There's a lot of energy in the shoulder blades obviously
connect to the lungs and the heart, but also connected
to kind of these things we call wings, angel wings. Right,
So for me, whenever I go to my shoulders, not
my shoulders, shoulder blades, excuse me, and shoulder girdle, yes,
(23:46):
heart chakra. So now I'm actually massaging that space if
it is external. And the answer is no, that it
is not yours. It's the collectives. And this is so
important right now because we're taking on so much from
the collective. I want you to smile, create that endorphin, physically,
(24:07):
find it in your body and wherever it shows up.
For me right now, it's my shoulder blades. Massage that
place in your body, and I want you to breathe
inhale four seconds, hold four seconds. Exhale audibly, mouth open
on this one four seconds hold, keep massaging the place
(24:32):
you're finding it, and then repeat that cycle three more times.
But massage literally you don't have to fix it out,
fine tune it, find the place in the body physically,
touch it, activate it by tapping. Massaging that with the
answer no, And when it is something external will create
a trigger. And I know you're like, gosh, Amanda, how
(24:54):
is this connected to my work, my finances? It is?
It is all connects it and last but not least,
let's connect things to anxiety, agitation, low mood or depression.
And this is where the so much is hitting us
(25:14):
right now, and where there is some gold, by the way,
because there's a tremendous amount of anxiety, agitation, low level urgency,
or even moments when maybe you just feel off or
heavy and disconnected. And a lot of what's happening right
(25:36):
now is we are moving out of body. We are
in this timeline and we are working in other timelines,
parallel dimensions. I don't want to lose you in this,
but I can see it sometimes when I'm talking to
people they're here, but they're not here, or I can
(25:59):
feel it within myself where I'm physically connected and communicating,
but I am not present. And even as I'm saying
this to you now, like I can feel my body
here but not here. And this is where we're meeting
(26:20):
a new edge. And so for many of you experiencing
either high levels of anxiety, panic attacks, or massive depression
where you're really having fog and challenge, a lot of
that is shifting. Some of it is not you, some
of it is going to shift organically, and it's almost
(26:41):
like it'll force you into some sort of action. And
if you are really struggling with anxiety or depression right now,
or even some kind of addiction, please ask for help,
because the help is out there. People love you, and
that vulnerability and asking for help or telling on yourself
(27:04):
it's the most powerful thing you can do. And it
is not surrender in the way of defeat. Is surrender
in the way of infinite potential, like a window of
opportunity opening up. And it's connected with us staying grounded
and in our bodies. But here's where that gold is.
If right now, the anxiety or depression or just the
(27:28):
off mood, the low mood, the general kind of just
feeling a little detached from or dissociated with life is
coming in for you, like it's not enough, Like when
is it? When am I going to be happy? When
is it going to be enough? When am I just
gonna When is everything going to click? Like, if you're
feeling just that off, most likely there's a lot happening
(27:50):
inter dimensionally, and it's actually activation. It's not breakdown, it's activation.
So a wonderful place to work with that, first of all,
is when you notice yourself just off generally again, find
(28:13):
where it's landing in your physical body. Is it like
And immediately when I say that, my ears like my
ears and I have headphones on, So if you're watching
this on YouTube, you can see it's like, well, how
do you like? You have headphones on? But I felt
it in my ear lobes, like I'm just aware and
(28:33):
it was the first thing that came to mind, like
it was a sensation, but it wasn't a sensation. So
the cool thing about that is you're just becoming fine tuned,
so fine tuned in your energy. But mine was my
ear lobes. And right now, because I have headphones on.
I can't touch my ear lobes, but I would hold
my ear lobes right now like a pressure point. I
(28:56):
would squeeze my ear lobes and I would do my
breathing cycle inhale four seconds, hold four seconds, exhale four seconds,
hold four seconds, and release the ear lobes. So find
where it is and use that as a pressure point,
(29:16):
not a massage, not a tapping pressure point in your body,
kind of like an ACU pressure point. And when you
do that, literally say, all aspects of me are here.
Now I'm bringing every aspect of me into this timeline.
This timeline is where my sovereignty is, my power is,
(29:38):
my presence is, and my energy is here. My energy
is focused in this timeline. I am present, I am capable,
I am aware. Come back into this timeline, into this presence.
Breathe and then smile again. Smiling. Smiling is everything. I
sound like ELF, I sound like el well when I
(30:00):
say that, but it's like smiling makes me happy. I
love smiling. It's my favorite. A lot of this is
chemical in the body and nervous system regulation, but in
beautiful ways, and what you're doing this isn't so much
grounding as a concept. You're rooting into this timeline, and
you're bringing this timeline and this chakra, the root chakra,
(30:26):
like you're creating a greater strength, not only for your
own field and cohesion. And I promise you if you
begin to work with this in any of these ways,
using the breathing cycle, using the awareness of your body,
the interconnection of the root chakra and other chakras, you
will start seeing some shifts and changes. And just a
(30:50):
few practical tips you can do is feel your feet
when you're standing, Like, start noticing your feet, just like
me noticing my ear lobes a minute. Start noticing your
feet or noticing your jaw. And sometimes when you notice stuff,
it's easy to physically touch it in case that helps
(31:11):
you with awareness. Do that, like touch your jaw or
massage your feet. And when you do that, exhale exhales
slower than you inhale. Exhale longer and slower. The root
chakra is connected with an exhale and a slower, longer exhale,
(31:32):
and most of us breathe shallow, which is a real
cut off. And our solar plexus, heart chakra and throat,
which I will talk about more when I move into
other chakras, but exhale longer than you inhale and hold
it longer. And also there is a massive connection with
(31:54):
expanding hemisync hemispheer synchronization in the brain, neural patterning. With
an extended exhale and a long hold at the base
of the spine, it's almost like consciousness expands more at
the base of the spine and on the exhale than
(32:14):
it does on the inhale and hold. Think about that.
So root chakra is connected with your exhale longer and slower.
And also on a practical level, pay attention to what
you're holding onto and not letting go of right now. Energetically,
anything that you are holding onto just old baggage, old trauma,
(32:36):
old pain, lack of forgiveness, frustration, fear, fear, dynamics, whatever
you are holding onto right now is a great time
to let that go and let that go through some
of these tools, these breathing tools, the exhale. This is
a moment because for all of us, stabilizing your root
(32:59):
chakra is going to help energetically, not only with your clarity,
your intuition, but it will help you interpersonally with communication
and boundaries. It will help you in your actual safety, security,
abundance through bank account, and your direction in life. And
(33:20):
it will help you in how you manifest and magnetize.
While this stuff may sound not connected, not rooted, like okay,
hey wait, how does this make sense? We are so
used to consuming information. Everything that I have shared with
you today has been in a certain frequency and interconnected
(33:42):
in an energy and more and more as this year unfolds,
and especially between now and twenty thirty, we're going to
start seeing energy change and the way that we communicate
around and with energy, and a lot of it starts
in the root chakra, our personal root chakra and the
(34:04):
collective root chakra. Pay attention, feel it in your body, breathe,
bring your awareness in. This episode is really about being
able to shift into a higher awareness and not bypass it,
(34:24):
but also to help you find what is being born
in your life today, because something really magnificent is happening
in the collective and in our energy field, and we're changing,
We're evolving the people that we connect with, how we communicate,
(34:48):
who we spend time with, It's evolving and changing, and
there can be a lot of grief a lot of sadness,
but it also creates a lot of energetic pressure. So
when you fill off or lost or confused, come back
to your route, come back to your center, anchor yourself
in from the pelvis all the way below your feet
(35:14):
and win in doubt. Just breathe. Use that for for
for for rhythm to stabilize your energy field. But go
back and take some notes if you need to with
this episode, so you can remember the different techniques that
I suggested. And again there's no need to overprocess psychoanalyze,
(35:36):
but I want you to feel something new opening up
in your body. And see what you manifest this week
as far as or in the weeks ahead after you
listen to this and you really practice it, what shifts
maybe in your interpersonal relationship dynamics, work, money kind of
trajectory dynamics, or in your overall nervous system, marine energetic field,
(36:00):
your anxiety, your depression, or your sense of belonging and
where you're supposed to be your center. See what's shifting
for you. Take care everyone, I'm rooting for us. Thank
