Chakras & Affirmations
The Connection between Chakras and Affirmations
Chakras and affirmations are closely linked, but what are they really? The best way to describe affirmations is to think of them as self-talk, and this is something we all do. Chakras are the body’s energy centres, and there are seven of them in total.
Most of us self-talk a lot of the time, but most of our self-talk is negative rather than positive, which can impact your state of mind.
Most of us spend a lot of time telling ourselves what we can’t do, rather than what we can do. I bet you can easily think of an example of the last time you used negative self-talk!
Psychology tells us that thoughts create feelings, and that feelings are the things that you act on.
Spirituality tells us that we create our own reality through our thoughts, and that positive thoughts can become positive outcomes.
If you combine using affirmations with chakras, you can give your affirmations even greater impact. “I’m going to have a good day” can be affirmed with the Base chakra, and will help you to give your affirmation greater energy.
Why not have a go – try one and see for yourself! There are affirmations that you can use with all seven chakras to support your well-being, and you can find some below.
Suggested Affirmations to try for each of the Chakras
The 1st of the Chakras - The Root Chakra
Our foundation is represented by the root chakra, and sits at the base of your spine, giving you the feeling of being grounded.
When it’s open you feel confident about challenges, but when it’s blocked it can make you feel unstable.

The Sacral Chakra
The sacral chakra is all about how you relate to your emotions, and it’s also linked to creativity and sexual energy.
If you have a blocked Sacral chakra it could make you feel as if you lack control in your life, but the opposite is also true.

The Solar Plexus Chakra
The solar plexus chakra is all about your ability to feel confident and in control, and when blocked can make you feel unsure. That’s why when you feel like you have butterflies in your stomach it can be because your solar plexus chakra is blocked.
When it’s open you’ll feel confident, but feelings of shame and self-doubt could be linked to a blocked chakra.

The Heart Chakra
The Heart chakra is the bridge between the lower and upper more spiritual chakras, and it can also influence your ability to give and receive love.
If your Heart chakra is blocked you can struggle to open up fully, but an open heart chakra means that you’ll be able to experience compassion and empathy.

The Throat Chakra
The Throat chakra controls your ability to communicate your personal power, and is linked to how you express yourself.
When your throat chakra is open you can express yourself clearly, but when it’s blocked you’ll find this hard.

The Third-Eye Chakra
Your ability to see the big picture is what the third-eye chakra is all about, and it registers information beyond surface level.
It’s the chakra that’s linked to your intuition, and people with an open third-eye chakra can have visions and be very intuitive.
