Root Chakra Healing With EFT And Yoga Nidra

This meditation combines the emotional release of EFT and the deep relaxation of Yoga Nidra. EFT involves tapping on acupressure points to manage stress, regulate emotions, heal trauma, and boost self-esteem. Yoga Nidra induces a state between wakefulness and sleep, reducing stress, enhancing sleep, promoting emotional healing, and self-discovery.The practice centers around the primal Muladhara, or Root, Chakra- the foundation of well-being, governing security, self-assurance, and resilience. Aligning with Earth's energy, this meditation cultivates unshakable security, balanced vitality, and self-assuredness, empowering a confident, purposeful life.

Hello and welcome to this Emotional Freedom Technique and Yoga Nidra meditation session.

And today we're going to be focused on balancing and healing the energy of the first chakra,

Muladhara.

And the first chakra is crucial for our physical and psychological foundation of being.

The root chakra represents the densest grade of manifestation and the basis of life.

The root chakra is associated with security,

Physical safety,

And the right to exist.

It governs self-confidence,

Trust,

And the fear response.

Muladhara pulls energy up through the feet and legs,

Balancing and fueling the endocrine system.

Imbalance in the root chakra can lead to problems in physical and emotional well-being,

Specifically manifesting as feeling of anxiety and fear.

This chakra provides the energy needed for survival and for thriving.

Working on tuning the muladhara strengthens our roots,

Enhances security,

Energy levels,

And self-esteem.

And since we're going to practice our Yoga Nidra after we do our tapping,

I want you to go ahead and lay down and making yourself really comfortable,

Collecting any props that might make you feel more supported and safe,

Maybe a bolster under your knees,

Shoulders,

A blanket,

Heating pad.

And perhaps you need to pause the recording to gather supplies.

If you do,

Go ahead and do that.

But setting yourself up for tapping first,

So laying down,

Letting your arms be free of any blanket that you're using,

And just beginning to settle in,

Closing the eyes down,

Taking a deep breath,

Imagining that you're breathing all the way up from the pelvic floor,

Inhaling through the low belly,

Ribs,

Heart,

Collarbones,

And big exhale,

Let it all go.

Feeling the weight of your body on the earth,

Feeling into any points of contact,

Maybe your heels,

Hips,

Shoulders,

The back of the head,

Or the length of the arms,

Allowing gravity to pull a little bit harder on your bones,

Snuggling you a bit closer to the earth.

And let's take another deep,

Deep breath,

Again,

Imagining inhaling up through the pelvic floor,

Low belly,

Ribcage,

Collarbones,

And slowly exhaling,

Tempering the exhale all the way down to the bottom of your breath.

And as you inhale,

Notice any smells around you.

Move your focus inside your mouth.

Notice the taste inside your mouth,

Relaxing the muscles around your eyeballs.

Start to notice the shapes of light and darkness behind your eyelids.

And finally,

Really opening your ears up to sound,

Specifically focusing in on my voice,

Setting an intention to remain focused and attentive to my voice throughout this practice.

Really opening your ears,

Inviting every little decibel.

And one more deep,

Deep breath,

As if you're breathing in through the pelvic floor,

Pull the breath all the way up to your collarbones,

Maybe holding for a moment at the top.

And as if you're leaking air like a balloon,

Slowly let it go all the way down,

Sinking into your back body,

Trusting the earth to support your physical body,

And beginning to prepare to tap.

And for the first round,

We'll be recognizing the sort of negative feelings,

Allowing ourself to validate our experience of anxiety,

Of fear,

Of distrust.

Acknowledging the experience,

Digesting it by tapping through it and really feeling into the experience of these prompts that I'll be giving you.

And for this first round,

We're gonna stay focused on the karate chop point.

So the space in between the pinky finger and wrist,

And you can tap on either hand with either hand,

But using two fingers,

Just gently start to tap on that karate chop space.

And if at any point these prompts that I give you don't resonate,

You can always skip over them,

Or possibly think about something else to repeat in their place that is more true to your experience.

But tapping on the karate chop point,

Repeating aloud or to yourself quietly,

I do not feel safe.

I do not feel safe.

I am not comfortable taking up space.

I am not comfortable taking up space.

I feel so disconnected to my body and I don't trust it.

I feel so disconnected to my body and I don't trust it.

I don't feel comfortable asking for what I need.

I'm so tired of feeling insecure.

I worry so much it's hard for me to focus.

I have obsessive thought loops that feel out of control.

I have obsessive thought loops that feel out of control.

I feel so much physical pain and tension that I avoid feeling my body.

I feel so much physical pain and tension that I avoid feeling my body.

And stopping tapping.

Let's take a clearing breath.

Again,

Imagining pulling the breath up through the pelvic floor all the way to the collarbones and exhale fully.

Shh.

And we're going to go through that same set again,

That same acknowledgement and validation of our experience.

But this time we're gonna move through the different tapping points,

The nine different points.

And the first one is the karate chop point.

So again,

Tapping gently on the outside of the hand.

Again,

Repeating to yourself or aloud,

I do not feel safe.

I do not feel safe.

Move your tapping to the inside of your eyebrow on either side.

Tapping gently with two fingers on either hand.

I am not comfortable taking up space.

I am not comfortable taking up space.

Move your tapping to the outside edge of either eye.

I feel so disconnected to my body and I don't trust it.

Underneath the eye on the cheekbone,

I don't feel comfortable asking for what I need.

Underneath the nose on the top lip,

I am always feeling so insecure.

I get so fearful and anxious.

Tapping on the collarbone.

On either side.

I worry so much it's hard for me to focus.

Under the arm,

I have obsessive thought loops that feel out of control.

I have obsessive thought loops that feel out of control.

Crown of the head.

I feel so much physical pain and tension that I avoid feeling my body.

I feel so much physical pain and tension that I avoid feeling my body.

And again,

Taking a rest,

Letting your arms and hands soften.

Taking another deep and clearing breath.

Feel the low belly,

Ribs,

Heart,

Collarbone.

And exhale completely.

Shh.

And now we're going to introduce the idea that we're open to feeling differently than our current experience.

And we're going to be going through the different tapping locations again as we go through this round.

So tapping on the karate chop point.

I do not feel safe,

But I am open to feeling another way.

I do not feel safe,

But I am open to feeling another way.

Inside of the eyebrow.

I am not comfortable taking up space,

But I am open to feeling a different way.

I am not comfortable taking up space,

But I am open to feeling another way.

Outside of the eye.

I feel so disconnected to my body and I don't trust it,

But I'm open to feeling another way.

I feel so disconnected to my body and I don't trust it,

But I am open to feeling another way.

Underneath the eye.

Crown of the head.

I feel so much physical pain and tension that I avoid feeling my body,

But I am open to feeling another way.

I feel so much physical pain and tension that I avoid feeling my body,

But I am open to feeling another way.

And again,

Deep cleansing breath.

Now shifting into the positive aspect.

And again,

We're going to be moving through the tapping points.

Repeating out loud or to yourself as you tap on the karate chop point.

I feel safe in my body.

I feel safe in my body.

Inside of the eyebrow.

I feel connected to my body and I trust it.

I give my body the rest and nourishment it needs.

And again,

Relaxing and just checking in with how you're feeling at this point.

Noticing if your mind and body have calmed.

If you feel a little closer to the earth.

If you feel a little less fried.

And letting your nervous system soften.

Arranging your arms,

Maybe tucking them under the blanket.

Hopefully turning the palms up towards the ceiling.

Allowing your shoulders to roll open as they snuggle together on the back.

And moving into our portion of yoga nidra.

Commit to stillness.

Again,

Beginning to feel into the back body.

Allowing your bones to rest.

Releasing the weight of your body into the earth.

Letting muscle fall from bone.

Letting all the joints soften.

Allow your hands to be effortless.

Your feet to be effortless.

And beginning to connect to our intention.

And for this practice,

We'll be using the words,

I am safe.

I am safe.

And the magic of yoga nidra is when we can really connect to the emotional experience of our intention.

So kind of time traveling and observing your future and higher self.

This version of yourself who feels safe and secure in the world.

Who looks nourished and vibrant.

Healthy and vital.

Calm and at peace.

Envision this version of yourself moving through the world.

How do they walk?

How do they stand?

How do they speak to others?

Is it with patience and understanding,

Compassion?

And just really envisioning what your life looks like after this evolution into your intention.

This intention to feel safe,

To be safe.

And then letting it go.

Letting the vision of your higher self go.

And coming back to the physical nature of your body.

And moving through our body scan,

I'll be inventorying parts of the body.

And your job is to stay still and follow my voice with your attention.

Sending effortless energy into each part of the body in turn,

As I name it.

And the practice starts with the thumb on the right hand.

Sending effortlessness into the thumb on the right hand.

Right pointer finger,

Middle finger,

Ring,

Pinky.

Feel the right palm,

Let it be effortless.

Wrist,

Forearm,

The circumference of the right elbow,

Upper arm bone,

Top of the right shoulder,

Right collarbone,

Armpit,

Feel the right hip point,

Feel the inside of the right hip,

Back of the thigh,

The circumference of your right knee,

Low right leg,

Ankle,

Top of the right foot,

Let it be effortless.

Right big toe,

Second toe,

Third,

Fourth,

And fifth toe.

Feeling the center of the sole of the right foot and then expanding your energy into just the right side of the body.

Letting the whole right side of the body be effortless and soft,

As if only the right side of the body exists.

Now moving your awareness into the left hand thumb,

Left pointer finger,

Middle finger,

Now becoming aware of both big toes,

The pelvic floor,

Feel your belly button,

The space where the ribs meet on the front body,

Heart center,

Throat,

The center of the brow,

And the crown of the head.

Feel your whole body,

Whole body soft on the earth,

Whole body.

And at this point,

You can either drift off to sleep or begin to bring life into your fingers and toes,

Maybe stretching your arms overhead and taking up space,

Stretching.

And as you feel ready,

You may carry on with the rest of your day.

Reviews

I've been dealing with severe dissociation for over a year now. After this meditation I feel connected again! At least for this moment, which feels amazing. This seriously made something click in my brain. I basically had a conversation with my body, apologized profusely for my ignorance and promised to give her the nutrients, connection, care and attention that she deserves. I do belong here. The universe doesn't make mistakes ❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much for creating this! You have helped me an incredible amount!

Love this practice! The tapping and activation combined with the yoga nidra left me feeling calm, at peace, rested and so cared for. Thank you, Mishiah!

This is such a perfect practice for healing. Thank you!
