The Importance of your Base Chakra & Grounding
I Am Grounded, Safe & Connected
The Importance of our Base Chakra
‘The Base Chakra is about accepting the energy of the earth and the energy of life. It is where we put down our grounding wire into the Earths Telluric Energy. This is a natural function of our energetic body; it is what keeps us alive and in the present moment.
“It is the domain of the Earth, of concentration or density, of matter, of the archetypal mother, of your own mother, of blood, of linage and of your genealogical tree. It is also the domain of all materialisation and security: your home, your money and your own physical and material security. All the problems that you encounter related to these themes undermine the expression of the Base Chakra”
‘Our strength, vitality & endurance depends on the quality of our connection to the Earth and on the emanation & opening of the Base Chakra.’ [Regina Martino]
Avoiding or neglecting Base Chakra issues often lead to a focus on being in the higher Chakras, to escape/avoid the material/physical world by being more in the ‘light’, in higher vibes, out in the cosmos chillaxing. By doing this we are neglecting and abandoning our incarnation and our physical body resulting in poor grounding. Lacking good strong grounding increases the risk of becoming a sponge to various influences & low vibes. It creates fears and this in turn reduces our energetic field & our vibe. Earth energy is crucial for energetic balance and is often forgotten in the ‘Flight to the light’.
‘Harmony is found in the 2 polarities; Yin &Yang, Ba & Ka, Light & Darkness, Masculine & Feminine, Higher & Lower, the material & the subtle. A balanced alignment is consciousness’ [Regina Martino]
The Matrix can be extremely difficult to navigate through the ascension process, you are simultaneously clearing karmic, ancestral & galactic timelines whilst downloading, upgrading & navigating the voids! Grounding in new energies & downloads is essential not only to integrate the information coming in but to avoid a Spiritual Crisis!
Signs of the Base Chakra Imbalanced
- Ungrounded
- Unclear of Purpose
- Fearful
- Insecure
- Confused
- Impatience
- Fear of alienation
- Death wish
- Angry/violent
- Over-sexed or impotent
- Vengeful
- Impulsive
- Manipulative
- Hyperactive – Kids fall into this category as they are up in the higher Chakras with overstimulation & overuse of modern technologies – TV, devices and Gaming. They lack grounding and the knowledge and mentors to teach them.
- Regina Martino believes that ‘their 6th Chakra(third eye) is greatly overdeveloped to the detriment of the 1st (base)& 7th (crown) Chakras (representing the mother & the father respectively),

Base Chakra Support
Grounding
- Walking Meditations/Earthing – shoes off walking on the earth mindfully feeling the soles of your feet touching the ground with every step. Grounding or Earthing is when we mindfully connect to the natural energies of the Earth by walking barefoot, laying/sitting on the ground, swimming.
- Reconnect with your physical body using practices such as yoga, massage, and physical activity.
- Visualizations – E.g. Imagine tree roots penetrating deep into the Earth’s core and anchoring around a crystal in the Earth’s centre, feeling safe and secure. Send Mother Earth love from your heart and allow her energy to rise up through your feet and legs filling the Base Chakra.
- Notice quickly the first five things you can; see, hear, feel, taste, & smell. This brings you into the present. It takes you out of your head & into your body.
- Gardening – get out in the dirt it’s that simple.
- Eat earthy foods – Red meat, Root vegetables, Nuts & Seeds
- Connect with Crystals - in particular Shungite as it helps regain your bio-energetic balance.(see below)
- Essential Oils (see below)
- Inner work on Base Chakra Issues is essential
Energetic Healing
Energy healing can help clear stuck/blocked energy as well as some unwanted clingon’s which interfere with the flow of energy in the base chakra affecting its function.
We are conditioned to believe that the supernatural simply doesn’t exist. I have had a knowing that there is more ‘out there’ from a young age. I’m a Scorpio and all things Life, Death, Rebirth intrigue me. Just because it isn't always seen, it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
It is always wonderful to have someone facilitate you on the journey – I know without my posse of Healers/Holistic Counsellors/Shamans, I wouldn’t be here today!
A healer is someone that triggers within you your ability to heal yourself. As a Transpersonal Counsellor I have a wonderful tool box of processes to offer my clients.
Be wary of whom you let in your energy field though, make sure you trust them 100%, is their energy clear, what measures do they take to keep their energy clean. Always use your own intuition to guide you and always take responsibility for your own healing journey.
A good healer will be teaching you tools and techniques which you can implement for yourself, rather than ‘fixing’ you or give you the answers.
Sometimes it is very necessary to have a dependence on ‘outside’ healers/mentors because we need the support & guidance until we can develop the skillset to be more supportive of ourselves. Over time you will notice more independence and you will be less likely to be reliant of their skills, as your own spiritual boundaries & stamina develops.
Healers also need healing and energy clearing so don’t think that we are immune. We are all on our Soul Journey & Ascending. The Shadow Side doesn't stop just because you've hit a certain level of consciousness.

Crystals for the Base Chakra
All the stones which are said to be protective stones in crystal healing increase the concentration of the vital field and activate the base chakra. This gives a greater resistance to outside disturbances and increases our ability to recover from illness or emotional shocks.
That is why they are referred to as being ‘protective stones’ however simply using a stone without consciously working on balancing, grounding and improving our connection to our body & Earth will be a band aid solution.
They are used for support whilst regaining balance and for innate protection rather than a weapon against attacks from outside yourself.
Crystals are a great support for your healing journey and each have unique properties & specific purposes for each individual.
There are many more crystals which align with the Base Chakra – too many to list!
Always use Crystals which you resonate with.
BLACK OBSIDIAN, GALENA, BLACK TOURMALINE, LABRADORITE, TURRITELLA, AGATE, BLACK TEKTITE, SPECTROLITE, IRON JASPER, MORION QUARTZ, CERUSSITE, ANGLESITE
These all vibrate with the lower part of the body mainly the feet. These are best used for crystal healing or meditations that are for accessing deeply buried or blocked information. They aren’t really recommended for daily practice around life and vitality.
SILICIFIED WOOD, CHIASTOLITE, CRYSTALLINE HEMATITE, MAGNETITE, GRAPHITE
These stones are more aligned with the Chakra outside of the body between the knees. They are great stones for deep inner work & family lineage.
RED JASPER, GARNET, FLINT, BLACK ONYX, JET, SMOKEY QUARTZ, SHUNGITE
These stones directly vibe to the Base Chakra and are easier to carry or wear on the body regularly to increase vitality, strength and grounding.
SHUNGITE is the shit when it comes to the Base Chakra
‘From a vibratory point of view Shungite resonates with the frequency of the Base Chakra’s red colour, with the subtle frequency black in its link to the density of the Earth, and with the subtle frequency magenta of the Magenta Chakra – this Chakra is found about 30cm above the top of the head. These 3 frequencies engender a particular energetic movement that is very fine and at the same time very powerful. The highest frequency present in Shungite (the Magenta frequency) is likely present in the fullerene molecules. Contact with the magenta frequency allows us to be connected to the movement of life while contact with the other frequencies (red & black) is connected to the structure and the basis of life. Because of these 3 frequencies, we can say that with Shungite connects us to our energy of life.’ [Regina Martino is a Geobiologist & Bioenergy expert specialising in Crystals.]
Shungite stimulates the base chakra, stabilises the energetic body and therefore safely opens the door to explore the higher Chakras. Shungite significantly expands the vital field & the Base Chakra, whilst also increasing emanation of all chakras, restoring alignment. Something not found in the other stones, making it a standout choice.
Crystals are available at The Merkabah & the majority are physically hand selected, Shungite is the excepton as it is 100% Authentic Shungite direct from the Russian Mine.
Essential Oils
Essential oils have the highest frequencies of any measured natural substance.
You can diffuse, simply smell, cook with or apply to the skin with a carrier oil to stimulate, balance, calm, transform, rejuvinate & support your Base Chakra naturally.
Essential Oils associated with the Base Chakra;
- Black Pepper
- Ceaderwood
- Patchouli
- Frankincense
- Ginger
- Myrrh
- Rosewood
- Rosemary
- Sandlewood
- Thyme
- Vetiver
- Ylang Ylang
So that’s the low down on the Base Chakra & grounding in the energies to shift the paradigm. Remember in the ‘Flight to the light’ & playing in the realms, with the beings, the ancestors, spirit guides, downloads, light code activations and much more, requires you to ground the energies.
The truth is, if you’re not firmly grounded with a strong connection to earth you are leaving yourself wide open, then how do you know what you are connecting to. Spiritual Self Care is just as important as all other forms of Self Care.
We all learn from those that have gone before us, the passing on of wisdom & knowledge, some things resonate & some don’t & sometimes it can take awhile to get the AHA moment. It just depends on our resistance and readiness. I learn more and more everyday and have had some amazing people come into my life just at the ‘right’ time. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't.
