Unlocking Your Power Through Affirmations: A Journey Through the Chakras
If you’ve ever felt a block in your confidence, or found yourself stuck in a repeating pattern of fear, shame, or doubt, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there. The good news? There’s a powerful tool you can tap into to help shift that energy—affirmations.
During a Revitalise group coaching session, 1 of the questions was, how can affirmations feel more aligned to us, and less icky!
Well, one way forward was to understand them a big better. We talked about affirmations and how they align with the body's energy centers, known as chakras.
Each chakra holds a different type of energy, and when we use specific affirmations that correspond with these centers, we begin to unlock and heal those energy blocks, bringing us closer to the confidence, clarity, and peace we desire.
Let’s explore the chakras together, and I’ll show you how to use affirmations to realign your energy and step into the life you truly want.
1. Root Chakra – I Am
The root chakra is located at the base of your spine and is your foundation. It’s where fear and trauma are stored. When this energy center is blocked, you may feel insecure, unsafe, or disconnected. Using affirmations that start with "I am" helps ground you and rebuild a sense of security and stability.
Affirmations for the Root Chakra:
I am confident in who I am.
I am grounded, safe, and secure.
I am exactly where I need to be.
These statements remind you of your inner strength and your right to feel safe in the world.
2. Sacral Chakra – I Feel
Situated around your navel, the sacral chakra is the center of your emotions, creativity, and relationships. If this chakra is blocked, you may struggle with emotional instability, creative blocks, or feelings of guilt. To balance this chakra, use affirmations that start with “I feel,” allowing you to tap into your emotions and express yourself freely.
Affirmations for the Sacral Chakra:
I feel confident expressing my emotions.
I feel joy in my creativity.
I feel worthy of love and respect.
These affirmations bring you back to your emotional power, helping you feel more connected and confident in how you relate to yourself and others.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra – I Do
Located just below your chest, the solar plexus chakra is your personal power center. This is where shame and doubt can linger, making you question your worth or capabilities. Affirmations that begin with “I do” will help you step into action and reclaim your inner power.
Affirmations for the Solar Plexus Chakra:
I do the best I can every day.
I do what’s right for me and my path.
I do things that make me proud of myself.
When you affirm “I do,” you are taking control of your actions, decisions, and life. You are no longer passive but empowered to take charge.
4. Heart Chakra – I Love
Your heart chakra is located in the center of your chest, and it’s the seat of love, compassion, and grief. If grief has been stored here, you may struggle with forgiveness or self-love. Affirmations that begin with “I love” allow you to open yourself up to give and receive love, both for yourself and others.
Affirmations for the Heart Chakra:
I love learning and growing every day.
I love and accept myself as I am.
I love and forgive those who’ve hurt me.
By regularly practicing heart-centered affirmations, you can cultivate deeper self-compassion and a more open, forgiving heart.
5. Throat Chakra – I Speak
The throat chakra, located in your throat, is your communication center. If blocked, you may struggle to express yourself or feel misunderstood. Using affirmations starting with “I speak” encourages you to step into your voice and claim your right to be heard.
Affirmations for the Throat Chakra:
I speak kindly and truthfully to myself.
I speak with confidence and clarity.
I speak my needs and desires into existence.
These affirmations allow you to reclaim your voice and speak your truth unapologetically.
6. Third Eye Chakra – I See
The third eye chakra is located between your eyebrows and represents intuition and foresight. If this chakra is blocked, you may feel confused or disconnected from your inner wisdom. Affirmations that start with “I see” are powerful tools to help you tap into your intuition and gain clarity.
Affirmations for the Third Eye Chakra:
I see my path clearly and confidently.
I see opportunities for growth around me.
I see the beauty and wisdom in myself.
These affirmations help you strengthen your intuition and trust in your inner vision.
7. Crown Chakra – I Know
Situated at the top of your head, the crown chakra is the gateway to higher consciousness and spiritual connection. If blocked, you may feel disconnected from your purpose or question your worth. Using affirmations that start with “I know” helps you embrace your inner wisdom and align with your higher self.
Affirmations for the Crown Chakra:
I know I am capable of achieving my goals.
I know and trust in my inner wisdom.
I know I am connected to something greater.
These affirmations guide you to a place of deep trust, where you are no longer questioning your worth but standing fully in it.
Why Affirmations Matter
Affirmations are more than just words. When spoken with intention and aligned with your chakras, they have the power to shift your energy and transform your mindset. They allow you to release old, limiting beliefs and open yourself to new possibilities—possibilities that align with your true self and your deepest desires.
As you continue to use affirmations, especially ones aligned with your chakras, you’ll start to notice shifts. Your confidence grows. Your energy levels rise. You feel more aligned and at peace with where you’re headed.
Remember, you have the power within you to change the way you think, feel, and act. And it all starts with the words you choose to speak over your life.
