Wondering what what to do with everything you’re learning about chakras and how it can help you sort through workplace challenges so you feel more in control of your work day? If so, you’re not alone.
Firstly why would you look to your chakra’s for insight about your workplace challenges?
So firstly your energy system isn’t separate from your work life — it directly influences how you show up, make decisions, and handle challenges. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled in your job or business, your chakras can reveal hidden energy blocks and limiting beliefs that are keeping you from moving forward.
Each chakra represents a key area of your work life — from confidence and creativity to communication and purpose. When balanced, they help you feel clear, motivated, and aligned. When blocked, they show up as self doubt, imposter syndrome, procrastination and burnout.
This is how you can use your chakras as a self reflection tool to uncover what’s holding you back and realign your energy for success.
And really you can take any question you have whether its lingering concern about a conversation, a specific problem, a goal that isn’t progressing, your career or relationship and assess it through the lens of the chakra system. This helps you sort through your thoughts and feelings on the matter without the external noise.
So in this post we’ll take a dive through the 7 main chakras, how to look at them from a work perspective and some things to think about around workplace challenges.
1 – Root Chakra
2 – Sacral Chakra
3 – Solar Plexus Chakra
4 – Heart Chakra
5 – Throat Chakra
6 – Third Eye Chakra
7 – Crown Chakra
So let’s get started!
1 – Root Chakra – “I Belong” (Stability, Security, Foundation)
The Root Chakra governs your sense of stability and security at work. If you’re constantly worried about money, job security or whether you’re on the right career path, this chakra may be out of balance.
You might feel unsettled, scattered or uncertain about your future.
If this chakra is imbalanced you may feel:
- Constant financial anxiety — worrying about making enough money
- Unstable career path — frequent job changes or fear of losing your job
- Feeling disconnected — like you don’t belong in your field
Ask Yourself:
- Do I feel financially secure and stable in my work or am I constantly in survival mode?
- Am I building a strong foundation for my career/business or do I feel like everything is uncertain?
- Do I trust that I belong in my industry or do I feel like an outsider who doesn’t quite fit?
A blocked Root Chakra can lead to fear based decisions — like staying in a job you hate because it feels “safe” or avoiding taking risks because you don’t trust that things will work out. Strengthening this chakra means grounding yourself in your skills, trusting your ability to support yourself and creating a solid plan for your future.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Ground yourself before work — visualize strong roots anchoring you to stability
- Create a routine — predictability helps stabilise this chakra
- Affirmations: “I am secure in my work. I trust my ability to provide for myself.”
🌱Reflection: Do I feel stable and supported in my work, or am I always in survival mode?
2 – Sacral Chakra – “I Create” (Creativity, Emotions, Flow)
The Sacral Chakra governs creativity, passion and emotional fulfillment in your work. If you feel uninspired, bored or stuck in repetitive tasks, this chakra may be blocked.
You may also struggle with imposter syndrome — feeling like your work isn’t good enough or that you’re not as talented as others.
If blocked, you may feel:
- Uninspired — lacking passion for your work
- Emotionally exhausted — absorbing other people’s stress
- Creatively blocked — struggling to generate new ideas
Ask Yourself:
- Am I creatively engaged in my work or do I feel like I’m just going through the motions?
- Do I allow myself to enjoy my work or do I feel guilty when things feel too easy or fun?
- Do I trust in my creative abilities or am I constantly doubting my ideas and skills?
A blocked Sacral Chakra can make work feel uninspiring and draining — leading to burnout, procrastination or avoiding creative projects altogether. To balance this chakra, reconnect with what excites you about your work, give yourself permission to experiment and play and stop waiting for “perfect” ideas before taking action.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Schedule creative breaks — step away and do something playful
- Release stored emotions — shake off stress at the end of the day
- Affirmations: “I allow creativity and joy to flow through my work.”
🌱 Reflection: Am I creatively engaged, or do I feel drained and uninspired?
3 – Solar Plexus Chakra – “I Recognize” (Confidence, Power, Motivation)
The Solar Plexus Chakra is your personal power center — it determines how confident, motivated and in control you feel in your work. If you struggle with self doubt, fear of failure or difficulty setting boundaries, this chakra may be blocked.
You might second guess your abilities, compare yourself to others or hesitate to take leadership roles.
If blocked, you may struggle with:
- Self-doubt & imposter syndrome — constantly questioning your abilities
- Fear of speaking up — not asserting your ideas or expertise
- Lack of motivation — feeling stuck or hesitant to take action
Ask Yourself:
- Do I feel confident in my skills and abilities or do I constantly question myself?
- Am I stepping into leadership opportunities or do I shrink back because I feel unqualified?
- Do I set clear boundaries with clients, coworkers, or my time or do I let others take advantage of me?
A blocked Solar Plexus Chakra can cause hesitation and procrastination because you don’t trust yourself to succeed. Strengthening this chakra means owning your expertise, trusting your instincts and taking bold steps forward — even when self-doubt creeps in.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Set energetic boundaries — don’t overcommit or say yes out of guilt
- Own your achievements — write down what you accomplished daily
- Affirmations: “I trust my skills and stand in my power.”
🌱 Reflection: Am I standing in my power at work, or am I shrinking back?
4 – Heart Chakra – “I Connect” (Relationships, Balance, Self-Worth)
The Heart Chakra is about connection, self-worth and emotional fulfillment in your work. If you feel disconnected from your purpose, unappreciated or resentful of your job, this chakra may be blocked.
You may also struggle with people pleasing — saying yes to work you don’t want to do or undervaluing yourself.
If blocked, you may experience:
- People pleasing — saying yes to work that drains you
- Feeling unappreciated — your contributions go unnoticed
- Work resentment — frustration over unfair workloads or difficult coworkers
Ask Yourself:
- Do I feel valued and appreciated in my work or do I feel overlooked?
- Am I saying yes to work that aligns with me or am I taking on things out of obligation?
- Do I have healthy work relationships or do I struggle with conflict, resentment, or isolation?
A blocked Heart Chakra can make work feel emotionally exhausting — especially if you’re constantly giving but not receiving recognition or support. To rebalance, focus on setting boundaries, valuing your own work and surrounding yourself with supportive people.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Say no to work that drains you — protect your time and well being
- Find moments of gratitude — acknowledge the parts of your work you do enjoy
- Affirmations: “I give and receive appreciation freely.”
🌱 Reflection: Do I feel valued and connected at work or am I giving too much without recognition?

5 – Throat Chakra – “I Express” (Communication, Truth, Visibility)
The Throat Chakra is about self expression and speaking your truth. If you hold back your opinions, struggle to be seen or feel afraid of criticism, this chakra may be blocked.
You may feel silenced in meetings, hesitate to promote your work or avoid difficult conversations.
If blocked, you may:
- Avoid difficult conversations — fear of conflict or speaking up
- Struggle to be heard — feeling ignored in meetings or undervalued
- Fear visibility — avoiding sharing your work or ideas
Ask Yourself:
- Do I confidently share my ideas or do I hold back out of fear?
- Am I clearly communicating my needs or do I expect others to read my mind?
- Do I promote myself and my work or do I avoid visibility out of fear of judgment?
A blocked Throat Chakra can lead to feeling invisible or unheard in your work. Strengthening this chakra means owning your voice, advocating for yourself and not shrinking back when you have something valuable to share.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Set a daily intention to speak up — even in small ways
- Practice clear communication — say what you mean without over-explaining
- Affirmations: “My voice matters and I speak with confidence.”
🌱 Reflection: Do I express my thoughts freely or do I hold back out of fear?
6 – Third Eye Chakra – “I Understand” (Intuition, Clarity, Vision)
The Third Eye Chakra is your inner wisdom and vision for your career. If you feel lost, directionless or unsure of your next steps, this chakra may be blocked.
You may struggle with overthinking decisions, ignoring your intuition or feeling stuck in analysis paralysis.
If blocked, you may feel:
- Lost or directionless — unsure of what you really want
- Disconnected from intuition — ignoring gut feelings about work decisions
- Overthinking everything — analysis paralysis and self-doubt
Ask Yourself:
- Am I trusting my intuition in my work or am I constantly second-guessing myself?
- Do I have a clear vision for my future or do I feel lost and uncertain?
- Am I following my own path or am I letting external expectations dictate my choices?
A blocked Third Eye Chakra can make you feel stuck and unsure of what’s next. Rebalancing means trusting your inner knowing, listening to gut instincts and allowing yourself to follow what feels right — even if it doesn’t “make sense” to others.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Tune into your intuition — notice what excites vs what drains you
- Give yourself space to dream — journaling or vision boards can help
- Affirmations: “I trust my intuition to guide my career path.”
🌱 Reflection: Am I following my intuition in my work or am I letting fear cloud my decisions?
7 – Crown Chakra – “I Experience” (Purpose, Alignment, Spiritual Growth)
The Crown Chakra connects you to your higher purpose. If you feel like your work lacks meaning or if you’re constantly searching for “the right career,” this chakra may be out of balance.
You may also struggle with feeling disconnected from your passion and purpose.
If blocked, you may:
- Feel disconnected from your passion — going through the motions
- Struggle to find meaning — wondering if this is “the right career”
- Feel uninspired or unfulfilled
Ask Yourself:
- Do I feel aligned with my work or does it feel meaningless?
- Am I making time for personal growth and reflection or am I stuck in daily grind mode?
- Do I trust that I’m on the right pat, or am I constantly questioning everything?
A blocked Crown Chakra can lead to feeling lost or disconnected from your purpose. To balance it, focus on reconnecting with what lights you up, trusting in your path and seeing your work as part of a bigger journey.
How to Protect Your Energy:
- Reconnect with your purpose — reflect on why you started
- Allow space for self-growth—learn, expand, and evolve
- Affirmations: “My work is meaningful and fulfilling.”
🌱 Reflection: Am I aligned with my purpose or have I lost sight of what excites me?
