Chakras and Affirmations: "I Am" is only the beginning

Affirmations are a powerful tool for transformation, but did you know that each chakra has its own unique frequency and affirmation style?

If you’re only using “I Am” affirmations, you’re primarily activating your Root Chakra. While this is great for grounding and stability, it leaves the other chakras untapped. To fully align and balance your energy, you need chakra-specific affirmations that resonate with each energy center’s purpose.

Let’s explore how to use affirmations for all seven chakras—from survival to enlightenment.

1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) – "I Am"

• Purpose: Safety, stability, grounding

• Affirmation Style: “I Am” statements

• Examples:

  • I am safe, secure, and grounded.

  • I am strong and supported by the universe.

  • I am deeply rooted in my body and my truth.

Without a strong Root Chakra, all other chakras struggle to stay balanced. But staying only in the Root Chakra means you’re focused on survival—not creation, love, or expansion.

2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – "I Feel"

• Purpose: Creativity, emotions, pleasure

• Affirmation Style: “I Feel” statements

• Examples:

  • I feel joy, passion, and creativity flowing through me.

  • I feel deeply connected to my emotions and honor them.

  • I feel worthy of pleasure and abundance.

Without this chakra activated, you may feel stuck, uninspired, or emotionally numb. Tuning into “I Feel” opens the door to creation and enjoyment.

3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) – "I Do"

• Purpose: Personal power, confidence, action

• Affirmation Style: “I Do” or “I Choose” statements

• Examples:

  • I do what I love and follow my purpose.

  • I choose to stand in my power and confidence.

  • I take action toward my dreams with courage.

This is your fire, your willpower. If you’re saying “I Am” but not “I Do,” you may feel grounded but lack momentum.

4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) – "I Love"

• Purpose: Love, compassion, connection

• Affirmation Style: “I Love” or “I Open” statements

• Examples:

  • I love and accept myself fully.

  • I open my heart to giving and receiving love.

  • I radiate love and attract loving relationships.

Without this chakra, power (Solar Plexus) can become forceful rather than compassionate.

5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) – "I Speak"

• Purpose: Communication, truth, self-expression

• Affirmation Style: “I Speak” or “I Express” statements

• Examples:

  • I speak my truth with clarity and confidence.

  • I express myself freely and creatively.

  • My voice is powerful, and my words create my reality.

This chakra ensures that what you think and feel (lower chakras) gets expressed into the world. Without it, creativity stays trapped, and emotions remain unspoken.

6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) – "I See"

• Purpose: Intuition, insight, clarity

• Affirmation Style: “I See” or “I Trust” statements

• Examples:

  • I see clearly and trust my intuition.

  • I trust that my inner wisdom guides me perfectly.

  • I see beyond illusion and into deeper truth.

Without Third Eye activation, we struggle with indecision, self-doubt, and confusion.

7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) – "I Know"

• Purpose: Connection to divine wisdom, enlightenment

• Affirmation Style: “I Know” or “I Surrender” statements

• Examples:

  • I know I am connected to infinite wisdom.

  • I surrender to the divine flow of the universe.

  • I know that everything is unfolding perfectly.

This is pure consciousness. Without it, we are attached to the material and disconnected from the infinite.

Bringing It All Together: A Full Chakra Activation Practice

To align all your chakras, use a combination of affirmations. Here’s how:

1. Start with “I Am” to ground yourself.

2. Move into “I Feel” to awaken your creativity.

3. Use “I Do” to take inspired action.

4. Expand with “I Love” to stay heart-centered.

5. Speak “I Speak” to share your truth.

6. Activate “I See” to strengthen intuition.

7. End with “I Know” to connect to divine wisdom.

Try this daily, repeating each affirmation three times while focusing on the corresponding chakra. You’ll feel more balanced, empowered, and connected.

Affirmations Are a Full-Body Experience

If you’ve been stuck only using “I Am” affirmations, it’s like only working out one muscle—strong in one area but weak in others.

To fully activate your energy and potential, speak to ALL your chakras.
