EASY MAGICAL MORNING PRACTICES FOR EACH CHAKRA (even if your mornings are like an episode of naked and afraid)

Root chakra: sit with your feet flat on the floor and imagine all of your worries and fears for the day pushing right down through your feet into the floor and down into the earth beneath you. Take a sip of your beverage of choice while stating that you are abundant, safe, and fully supported (you can even pause to do this without the beverage first thing in the morning and do this as soon as your feet hit the ground).

Sacral chakra: dance, dance, dance! Whether you move those hips in the shower, while packing lunches for kids who will later throw them away, or while desperately trying to find two matching shoes, just dance. Infuse some passion, creativity, and flow into your day right from the start.

Solar plexus chakra: use some lotion, oil, or magically charged water to draw a sun right at your solar plexus center. Say something like, “I am confident, I am strong, I am proud,” while doing it. Bonus points for hanging an image of a sun or a sunflower in your bathroom or putting an image right next to your bed so you can’t forget to do this!

Heart chakra: while in the shower, washing your face, or slapping on some fresh deodorant (solidarity all my time-crunched-just-trying-to-survive-witches!) state three things that you love about yourself. Then, state something that you love about each person that you plan to speak to or connect with during the day (bonus points for trying to find something to love about the people you can’t stand!).

Throat chakra: practice the act of listening (especially if you live with other people). Mornings can be rough. Talk less and listen more. React less and observe more. If you live alone, listen to your body and your thoughts. Communication starts with listening, not speaking. You can’t truly be heard until you learn to hear.

Third eye chakra: Sit with your hands in your lap, palms to the sky. Gaze down st your hands (sort of lazily like you aren’t really paying attention to them) and ask what it is that you need to know for the day. You may experience an answer and you may not. But you’ve opened the invitation to HEAR what you need to know and over time this will be easier and easier to identify.

Crown chakra: while in the shower or washing your face imagine the water as universal love energy pouring over you. You ARE connected with all that is and are an important energy body, don’t forget it! Maybe even throw it back to 2000 and put on some glittery makeup, wear something sparkly, or paint your nails in a sparkly glittery hue to remind you of the beautiful energy of the universe that is just as sparkly as you are.
