Root Chakra Activity #3: Addiction is often a way to numb fear, and that is exactly what blocks the root chakra. To clear the Root, we must name what we are afraid of. Fear shrinks when you write it down, so we are going to do a stream-of-consciousness writing session. Set a timer for 10 minutes and write the prompt: "Without this addiction, I am afraid that..." Let the pen move and just keep going until your timer goes off. No censoring yourself, don't worry about spelling or grammar or even complete sentences. The goal is to never not be writing, to not think about it, to just get the truth out. When you're finished, review the list and circle the fears that are actually "survival" threats (immediate danger) versus "psychological" threats (discomfort).
