So, the earthstar chakra – what is it and why write about it now? Well, it is the first of the sub-personal chakras and it gives you greater stability on the earthplane when it is properly activated and functioning at optimum, which we need this month because the energy is so chaotic. It enhances the grounding mechanism you already have through the base chakra and the feet chakras and it will keep you very grounded and secure. It allows the whole of your energy system to be embedded in the earth … quite literally. It is, as far as I am concerned, one of the most useful chakras you have because, during these times of ascension when your frequency is going up and up, you seriously need to go down as well. In fact there is no way you can keep going up without it. The more stable your energy system is and the more securely it is anchored in the earth, the higher you can go.
The earthstar works so well because it is six inches below your feet, so it is already in the ground. This means that when you activate it, it automatically anchors your energy there, and you feel incredibly stable. It is a wonderful feeling. It is also known as the Super Root and is connected to the rest of your chakra system through your feet chakras.
So, what else do you need to know about this energy centre? It holds past life, karmic and ancestral energy vital to your current lifetime, most of which will need to be cleared at some point after you have activated the chakra. It is your connection to the earthplane and your life path. It is such a useful chakra to start working with. It will allow you to clear enormous amounts of negative and stagnant energy from your system. I’d really be start working with it right now!
The negative quality of this chakra is powerlessness and the positive quality is empowerment. And, if it is unbalanced or blocked, it will lead to discomfort in your physical body, feelings of helplessness, and it will sometimes manifest an inability to function practically in the world. So, as you can see, at this time it is almost vital that this chakra is up and running effectively in your energy system.
You will find a great many crystals are recommended when you are working with the earthstar. Any grounding crystal will work really well, but from personal experience and years of teaching about the extended chakra system, I have found aqua aura quartz is simply one of the very best crystals. This is because the earth contains so much water. But, at the end of the day, this is your journey so always see which crystal you are drawn to and which one works best with your chakra system and your subtle anatomy. Two other stones I would recommend are black obsidian and petrified wood.
Another blessing which comes from an activated earthstar is that it allows you to release any the negative energy you pick up from your environment or from being with others who are vibrating at a lower rate than you… and more easily too. This is a HUGE benefit. All you have to do is set the intention that you want these unsuitable vibrations to drain away, going through the eathstar into the ground. This works extremely well because when this chakra has been activated your whole energy system automatically becomes aligned with the magnetic core of the earth.
The other advantage is that when the earthstar is functioning properly and fully integrated into the rest of your energy system, it serves to anchor the whole chakra system, it connects the etheric body to the physical world and this in turn creates a feeling of security which allows your soul to fully express itself on the earthplane. Also if it is well-balanced it means you can feel deeply connected to the Earth and Mother, and to your inherent gifts and talents, enabling you to express and use them more effectively.
So, what are you waiting for? If your transpersonal system is already open … make time to clear the earthstar and ensure it’s working at optimum, If it isn’t, the best place (well, really the ONLY place) to start is with the earthstar. You have to be stable before you can start exploring the upper transpersonal chakras. Opening them before you have stabilised your system by working with the earthstar is seriously not a sensible thing to do at all.
To Activate:
The easiest way – ask Archangel Sandalphon to do it. He is in charge of the chakra and he will be happy to do this for you. But you must remember to ask him to activate it at the most appropriate vibrational level for you at this time, and ask for the whole of your energy system to be stabilised at the most appropriate frequency for you at this time after he has done it. It is always worth having a helper or guide do something like this because then you do not have to worry whether or not you have done it correctly. They will never make a mistake!
All you have to do is sit quietly and ask Sandalphon to help you connect with the earthstar chakra. This way you can be fully and consciously aware of the whole activation process. Then just ask him to activate, cleanse, and balance it. Then using your intention, draw up earth energy into the chakra with each in breath, so it is securely connected to the earth and Mother’s beautiful golden energy and let this golden earth energy fill the chakra until it is glowing.
As you open your connection to Mother through your earthstar, it will give you greater access to her nurturing vibrations and you will find your whole energy system (and your physical body) is empowered and strengthened. This will, in turn, give you a much firmer foundation for you to continue your spiritual growth process. It gives you something to build on which is completely and utterly solid.
Lastly, two other crystals to use with the earthstar are:
Magnetite – get two small pieces, hold one in each hand between the thumb and the index finger and see just how incredibly fast this stone plugs the whole of your energy system back into the magnetic grid of the earth. It’s astonishing, effective and I promise you will feel SO much better afterwards! It will work even more effectively if you activate the acupuncture points in the fingers and thumbs with the tops of the miniature octahedrons.
Labradorite – place a piece between your feet with the intention of using the energy to fill your earthstar chakra. Although this is not usually considered a grounding stone, you will find it works extremely well… as long as you hold a clear intention that you want its energy to flow down into the earthstar and stabilise your entire energy system from this point. You can also ask the vibration of the crystal to fill your feet chakras as well, if you want to. Keeping these grounding points open at all times is vitally important at the moment.
There are also crystals which will help you clear specific patterns of negative energy, commonly stored in the earthstar, which are connected to either past lives, karmic debts or ancestral patterning. Working with these stones while you are working with the earthstar will help to clear the energy from this chakra and, if used with the proper intention, it will also clear it from any other places in your system where it may be stored as well.
To help you release any attachments to people, places and situations – petrified wood, petalite and jet.
To encourage acceptance of these same people, places and situations – petrified wood, petalite and clear quartz.
To help you transform – obsidian, jet (use also on the base, sacral and solar plexus to enhance the clearing process – it is wonderfully effective!), petalite and amber.
To help with forgiveness – there are crystals, but really, I’d recommend going straight to the very lovely Angels of Forgiveness – these guys really know how to help with this problem!
Well, I think that’s more than enough on the earthstar…
Have fun being more connected to Mother. It is always a blessing…
