Earth Chakra Activity #5: Ground the chaotic energy of a craving with this tactile art project, the "Root to Earth" Matrix. When you finish, hang this in your Safe Zone. When you feel triggered, visually trace the roots down to the anchor, touch the physical dirt, and read your phrase aloud to ground yourself. Materials: Thick paper, dark ink (or runny paint), a straw, coloring supplies, liquid glue, and real dirt or sand. Instructions:Drop heavy pools of ink at the top of your page. Use the straw to forcefully blow the ink downward, creating chaotic "roots." This physically expels your anxious energy. Let it dry. At the bottom where your ink roots end, draw and heavily shade a solid foundation (like dense stones or earth). Focus on the calming, repetitive motion of coloring. Paint glue over your drawn foundation and press the real dirt or sand into it. This gives you a rough, physical texture you can actually touch. Finish it up by writing a grounding phrase at the bottom (e.g., "I am heavier than the storm").
