What is the Earth Star Chakra?

The Earth Star Chakra is an energy point that lays about twelve inches below your feet. The most commonly known chakras are the Root to the Crown, taught in yoga and reiki classes, however those are only seven energy points of many and the most directly corresponding within our physical bodies. In my Distance Reiki Sessions, I include the Earth Star and Soul Star chakras by sending crystal and reiki energies if I feel called.

Feeling particularly scattered and disconnected? You likely need to ground your energy. As an air sign, if I'm not grounded, I can feel very lost in my mind/head in the clouds. I have more tips on grounding your energy, if you sign up for my newsletter. However, one method is to work with the Earth Star Chakra.

The Root Chakra focuses on grounding and connecting you to the Earth on a materialistic/physical sense. The Earth Star Chakra goes a step further, grounding you and connecting you to deeper Earth energies. Reaching into these energies will anchor the seven energy channels within your body and encourage your connection to Earth and your surroundings on a deeper level. As well as fostering connection to all other beings on this Planet and our ancestors.

You may really need to focus on grounding your energies if you are empathic or sensitive to energies of others. Practicing grounding your own energies and creating boundaries can go a long way in protecting your energy against others. If you are energy sensitive, it's easy to accidentally give your energy to others and feel drained or confuse your emotions with others.

Balancing the Earth Star Chakra energies is not too different from balancing the Muladhara (Root) Chakra. Get outside - meditate outside, stand outside barefoot if possible, walk a trail. Be in the present, look around, pay attention to nature surrounding you or go within and meditate.

Sit by a tree and meditate, feeling roots grow from your feet, grounding you deep into the Earth. Transmute the darker energies from your body into light and love as you connect.

Cleanse with smoke of Palo Santo. You may also use candle or incense.

Personally, I prefer to use a crystal grid or place crystals on my body to ground my energies. In a pinch, breath work or holding a crystal work really well. Test out different methods to see what works best for you! There are so many more options to truly ground your energy and detach from outside negative energies. It's not a one and done deal, remember we are always working to keep centered and calm in this world. Keep going, you're doing great!

Work with Me Hi! My name is Betsy. I am a 300 hour yoga teacher and Reiki master practitioner. For 20 years, I worked as a child care provider and elderly caregiver. Yoga and Reiki helped to keep me centered, taking me out of my head to settle my heart. I've spent years learning to calm my nervous system and improve my mindset through trial and error. I'm so happy to be able to use my experience to help others going through the same! I offer Reiki and private online yoga sessions, recorded classes, and so much more!
