Root Chakra 101

 



Let's start with the root chakra.


Our root chakra is our center for survival and stability.  If we don't feel grounded, centered, and secure with our basic needs none of the higher chakras can be happy and we really can't be then either, so this one is super important.  It is quite literally the base, think of it as a solid foundation on which to build up.


Location: base of spine


Color: red


Physical: bones, teeth, adrenals, fight or flight response, spine 


Balanced: safe and secure, calm strength, reassuring, in tune with abundance 


Unbalanced: fear, anxiousness, materialistic, lethargic, restless, spacey, chaotic, ineffective, greedy


Yours not quite on track? Here's some suggestions...


Yoga: Check this post .. but think grounding poses... child's pose, lotus, warrior 1, tree...


Oil: think woodsy and grounding... cedar wood, cypress, patchouli 


Stones: think red.... jasper, garnet, 


Nutrition: eating clean and nourishing food... again, think red...  peppers, apples, cherries, strawberries, etc, and also think proteins for strength...meats and beans.


Affirmations: I am safe, I am grounded, I am rooted, I am centered, I have enough, I am enough
