Root To Rise
Jun 3, 2021

Reading time less than 1 minute

If you’ve ever taken a yoga class you may have heard the phrase, “root to rise”. Having a strong foundation in your practice creates space for expansion. You cannot rise into the fullness of the pose if you are not first grounded (my off-balance days assure me this is true!). When you are rooted in your body and mind, that is when you will find the ease, flow, and growth both on and off your mat.

Like the roots of a tree, grounding ourselves is necessary before we can rise to our full potential. A tree cannot grow to its biggest, most beautiful self without solid roots in place. So too must we establish our roots before reaching our highest and best selves. Having a foundational practice we can ground into creates the roots we need to grow.

I don’t know about you, but I am not my best self when I don’t take time for myself in the morning. Whether it’s 20 mins of yoga, a 5 min meditation, and/or a moment of gratitude for a warm cup of coffee- finding ways to begin the day in a grounded way sets us up to be the best version of ourselves. When we feel grounded in our body and mind, we begin to show up better, feel more at peace with who we are, and become unphased when challenges arise.

A tree does not push and shove its way to the top-it does so with ease. It feels safe and empowered to grow because it has roots to support it; it can reach its full potential when its foundation is solid. I challenge you to find ease in the grounding practices that work for you. No forcing or shaming yourself into a strict morning routine, rather, simply paying attention to how you feel when you do incorporate these practices into your day. We can all learn from the tree—stay rooted so you can rise into your most powerful, beautifully expansive self.

Thank you so much for this article! My yoga instructor often says this phrase, but I had never understood its meaning until now. I asked to explain the meaning of this phrase several times, but each time he avoided answering and left the topic, avoiding a real explanation. Thank you for the clarification. Could you please give me advice? How can I find the right grounding remedies and actions for me? How would I know which one is right for me? I understand - it’s necessary to analyze my feelings in order to understand, but what exactly should I feel?

Human Design Discovery Call

If you want to know more about Human Design blueprint, this discovery call is your chance to ask me specific questions.

Human Design shows us how we are all unique individuals. It gives you clear guidance on how to operate in alignment both as an individual and with other people, and how to make big and small decisions in life.

Learning about your Human Design is extremely validating and can put you on a path toward self-discovery and stepping into your highest potential. It's within you! It has always been within you -- human design just puts words behind it, like a guidebook that pinpoints your superpowers.

I am a mother of two boys, ages 9 and 10, and learning about each of their unique designs has changed my life, and theirs! They are extremely different in how they process emotions, their energy output, their strengths and gifts, and even how they communicate! Their charts told me all this, and I see it playing out every single day, and now I have words for it. The awareness is so empowering.

I am trained as a Human Design reader through DayLuna Human Design.

Talk soon,

What is Human Design?

It is a synthesis of Astrology, the Chakra System, the I-Ching, and the Kabbalah, which presents a sacred algorithm for humans to embody based off of the blueprint they were given at the time of birth. Essentially, it is a technique which one can learn and practice to understand themselves and their own uniqueness, in order to most efficiently and harmoniously interact with the internal and external world, and to have a greater understanding of the connectedness of all people and all things.

The Human Design framework have absolutely shifted my awareness, perception, and understanding of my inner and outer reality. I not only have a greater understanding of my own unique gifts, quirks, and contributions to the collective whole, but now I also have a greater understanding and acceptance, of how and why others are the way that they are.

These teachings have supported me immensely., and I believe they may do the same for you.
