Are you feeling scattered, unfocused, or even a bit lost? Today I’m sharing my favorite root chakra journal prompts to help you explore those feeling and identify ways to heal. You deserve to feel safe and secure in your world.
Your root chakra is home to your feelings, thoughts and beliefs about your place in the world. Your sense of safety, security, vitality and belonging all live here.
So when your root chakra is in balance you feel physically safe and strong, and enjoy a sense of community among your tribe.
But when your root chakra is out of balance, you can feel anywhere from a little scatterbrained to physically unsafe.
Root chakra journaling is a beautiful way to get in touch with your emotions so that you can feel better.
What Is Root Chakra Journaling?
A chakra journal is a dedicated notebook for you to write about how events in your life are affecting you.
You have seven chakras in your energetic body, and each of them represents a unique set of emotions, physical body part, and area of your life.
Each day, you’re exposed to people, experiences, and events that impact your emotions. Your chakras process that energy and need regular, loving care to be brought back into balance.
Chakra journaling is one way to bring your attention to where your chakras need healing.
How Root Chakra Journaling Can Help You Heal
Self discovery. Root chakra journaling brings your attention to where you have an opportunity to let go of insecurity and fear.
Focusing tool. An open root chakra means that you enjoy mental clarity and the ability to focus on thoughts of your choosing. Chakra journaling is one way to practice that focus.
When you have mastery over your mind, your manifesting power is limitless!
Ease stress. Your root chakra is the energetic foundation for everything going on in your life. So when you’re stressed out, it helps to take a step back from the chaos and refocus on the basics. Reminding yourself that you’re safe puts things into perspective and eases tension.
Identify patterns. Family, religious communities, and any other group that influences your perception in life (especially when you’re young) help to form your beliefs. Sometimes, you unknowingly adopt prejudices, limiting beliefs, and other beliefs that don’t reflect who you truly are.
It takes a very self-aware person to notice this and set intentions for change. So you should take great pride in this work that you’re doing. It will help you discover your authentic self and set you free in so many ways.

As an Aromatherapist, my favorite way to bring healing to the root chakra quickly is with essential oils. This root chakra oil blend from Rocky Mountain Oils is designed to help you to feel safe, grounded, and connected.
You can place a drop on the inside cover of your chakra journal. Every time you open it, the aroma will serve as a soothing reminder that you’re exactly where you belong, in every moment.
You can also dab some onto the base of your spine (the location of the root chakra) or diffuse it into the air.
There is a strong connection between your emotions and your sense of smell, which is why essential oils are such a powerful tool for chakra healing.
This root chakra oil also comes in a roll on. the best part about this roll-on is that it has a roller ball made of bloodstone, which is a powerful root chakra healing stone. How incredible is that?!
