Chakra Communication - First and Third

How Your First and Third Chakras Work Together to Unlock Manifestation and Safety

Imagine a cave slowly carved out by flowing water—drip by drip, layer by layer, the stone gives way. That’s what healing your energy blocks can feel like.

Bit by bit, as you notice, question, and explore your inner world, your energy starts to open. At first, the flow follows the easiest paths—places you’re already a little open to change. But as you continue, the current digs deeper. Over time, your inner space can become vast and powerful, like the Grand Canyon.

That’s the image I want you to hold as we dive into how your first and third chakras communicate—and how that connection directly impacts your ability to feel safe and manifest what you desire.

If you’re unfamiliar with these chakras, you might want to read my earlier blog posts or do a quick search to understand their basics. But in short:

• The first chakra (root) is all about grounding, survival, and safety.

• The third chakra (solar plexus) is about personal power, confidence, and manifestation.

When these two centers are in sync, you not only feel safe, you know you have the power to create what you need, and eventually, what you want. You trust yourself on a deep, intuitive level to survive and thrive.

Reclaiming Your Inner Authority

Many of us learned early on to question our own instincts. Our parents, with love, often stepped in to “keep us safe” by telling us what to do, rather than helping us build trust in our own guidance. Over time, this can dull our inner voice and cause us to seek answers from outside ourselves.

“Should I date this person?”

“Should I buy this house?”

“Should I take this job?”

When we believe others know better than we do, it’s a sign that the flow between our root and solar plexus chakra is blocked. We don’t fully trust our ability to be safe or to make empowered choices. Our survival energy is there, but we’re not fully channeling it into confident action.

How the Two Chakras Work Together

When you’re sparked to create something, the impulse first checks in with your root chakra. If your root chakra gives the “all clear” regarding being safe to move forward with the impulse, it gets to work with your third chakra. It begins to initiate boundaries, action items, and mental clarity you would need to begin making the creation a reality.

For example, let’s say you wanted to go to a new place you have never been. If you truly trusted your ability to read energy, tune into your gut, and make empowered decisions, you could know whether that choice was safe or not without defaulting to the fear of the unknown.

If fear is there, ask yourself: Is this a valid instinct, or is it old programming? Is it there because I don’t know what to expect? Do I trust my ability to take action once I get there?

And that’s the key: Observe your thoughts to find out where they are coming from. If your belief about safety or scarcity isn’t really yours, you don’t have to keep it.

When There is a Block Present

You can recognize a block between the first and third chakras when fear holds you back from creating. It shows up when you replay old stories. When these two energy centers aren’t in harmony, you tend to focus more on maintaining safety and predictability than on creating something new. Instead of moving forward, your energy stays busy trying to protect what already exists, leaving little room for expansion or possibility.

Removing the Blocks

Stay open. The insights might come in subtle ways, such as an interaction, a memory, or a gut feeling. But when you notice them, you’re chipping away at the stone and making more space for freedom. You are asking the two energy centers to work together to create the life of your highest potential.

Removing a block between the root (1st) chakra and solar plexus (3rd) chakra is about bridging the gap between safety and personal power. Here are some aligned ways to do that:

Journal or meditate to…

• Rebuild Trust with Yourself

  • Your root chakra wants to know: Am I safe?

  • Your solar plexus wants to know: Can I take action and succeed?

• Take Small, Empowered Risks (Grounded Action)

  • Your root chakra wants to celebrate survival and safety.

  • Your solar plexus wants to feel decisive and clear.

• Clear Old Stories

  • Your root chakra wants to know no matter what happened already, you did survive and you will again and again.

  • Your solar plexus wants to know that you learned new techniques through past experiences.

🌈 Mantra to Work With:

“It is safe to be powerful. I create from a grounded place.”

Happy manifesting! Go be amazing.
