Root to Rise: A Chakra Journey

When life feels overwhelming it is easy to disconnect from your own needs. Root to Rise is a 14-day chakra journey that pairs movement and meditation to support your whole system. Chakras are traditionally described as focal points for awareness in the subtle body, simple anchors that help you recognise qualities like stability, fluidity, focus and ease as they arise in your practice. The classes in this series are built to feel regulating rather than draining. Across the 14 days you will move through: • Grounding sequences to settle the nervous system • Hip-opening flows to release what has been held • Core work that builds resilience without depletion • Heart openers that soften the body's habitual armouring • Restorative shapes to soften the throat and create space for unforced breath • Focused movement to clear mental fog • A final supported practice that lets everything land into deep rest Root to Rise is for anyone who wants to feel calmer and more resourced in daily life. A series that feels like a guided inner journey whether you are chakra curious or simply in need of a reset.

Lesson 2I am safe - a Muladhara meditation with Cel
Audio8 min
This meditation invites you into the energy of Muladhara, the root chakra, traditionally understood as the foundation of the entire chakra system and our connection to the earth. The qualities most of us associate with this chakra today, including its deep link to safety, stability and belonging, are part of a modern interpretive framework built around the ancient system. While these weren't present in the earliest texts, they've become a genuinely powerful way to connect with the philosophy, and this practice honours both. Using the mantra "I am safe", Celest guides you to place that sense of safety into every cell of the body, working with the nervous system's own intelligence to move from a state of stress toward a steady, grounded foundation from which to meet the rest of your day.Locked — subscribe to unlock
