Opening Symptoms of the Root Chakra

At the opening of your root chakra you will be able to access the earthly energies which are very much related to your physicality like your sexuality. It is a new energy, sexual energy or tension that is by nature very strong and difficult to control. But it is also essential to note that this sexual energy is a part of your spiritual path.

Controlling such high sexual energy becomes necessary as you grow in the field of chakra healing and opening. Instead of simply wasting it, you can channel this energy and use it to nourish the spirit and propel it forward.

Warmth and Pulsating Energy in the Pelvic Area

A clear physical sensation during the opening of the root chakra is a warm or pulsating energy in the lower abdomen or pelvic area. One can experience this when meditating on the root chakra. This sensation can travel from the base of the spine through the legs and even to the lower part of the abdomen. This means that the healing process of the root chakra has started as the energy has been boosted.

High Energy in Sexual Organs

One of the effects of the root chakra opening is an outpouring of vibrational energy in the sexual organs. This additional energy is due to the activation of the base chakra where more energy flows through towards the second chakra which deals with sexuality and sensual pleasure. It can become a strong sexual desire and is a sign of activation of these energy centers.

The Sexual Energy and Its Control for Spiritual Progress

It is important for individuals who are undertaking spiritual practices to appreciate the importance of controlling the sexual energy that is quite common with opening of the root chakra. Instead of expelling it physically you can engage in a variety of methods like deep breathing, visualization or simply releasing it passively. This approach ensures that energy is still equally distributed in the seven chakras for spiritual growth.

Pain as a Symptom of Blockage Removal

The root chakra may be opened when the blockages are removed or a lot of energy is released and therefore you may experience pain in your pelvic region for sometime. This feeling of uneasiness is good since it shows that progress is being made. Usually, such pain heals within a few days to indicate the clearing of a major blockage. In addition, it is easier and more productive to use further energy work.

Unpleasant Symptoms that Result in Significant Benefits

Some of the symptom associated with the root chakra opening may be negative in the short terms but the long term results are good. These benefits can be broadly categorized into physical, psychological, emotional and mental. The first is the opening of the root chakra, which is the first step towards achieving holistic change and feeling grounded, safe, and connected to the earth.

Understanding Root Chakra Symptoms: Energy Flow and Sensations

Symptoms that accompany the opening of your root chakra can often be felt on a physical level. As your chakra is healing, there is an intensified energy flow through it. This increased energy can manifest in the form of physical sensations.

Some of the more apparent physical symptoms are a feeling of warmth or pulsating energy in your pelvic area. This reaction can extend throughout your feet and upwards to the region of the lower abdomen.

Another symptom of the opening of the root chakra can be felt as intense energy flowing in your sexual organs.

Because there is an increased flow of energy through the base chakra, also the energy pressure on the second chakra is raised. The second chakra is associated with sexuality and sensual pleasure. Therefore a strong sexual desire can be felt.

If your goal is to progress with spiritual work and bring this energy to higher chakras, it is important to restrain yourself from physically releasing this built-up energy. Instead, you can try to distribute this energy throughout all seven chakras with the help of breathing and visualization, or relax and let it settle down or fade off.

Accompanying a great release of energy or a blockage removal, it is not uncommon to feel the symptom of root chakra opening as a pain in or around your pelvic area.

Usually, such pain fades off in a few days, and after that, the progress with further energy work will be much easier, since the main blockage will be removed.

Even though the symptoms can sometimes be unpleasant, however rarely, there are significant benefits later. These can be felt on physical as well as psychological, emotional, and mental levels.
