When your root chakra is out of balance,
You may be feeling unstable,
Disconnected,
Unorganized,
Lacking in security.
You may literally feel uprooted.
You may be experiencing physical symptoms of constipation or poor blood circulation.
If your root chakra is overactive,
You may be feeling sexually frustrated,
Lustful,
Greedy,
Find yourself hoarding,
Overeating,
Or having an intense fear of change.
You may feel that you're more judgmental or begin harboring biased opinions,
Feeling aggressive towards everything and everyone around you.
The root chakra is the foundational chakra of the body.
We need that to be stable in order for all of the other chakras to come into alignment.
Therefore,
This chakra is fundamental for our bodies,
Fundamental for connecting to ourselves and to others.
And it's important to stay grounded in the moments where we feel we're coming out of balance.
To stabilize the root chakra,
The color red is great to visualize.
This deep-rooted color is the color that represents the chakra of the body.
Essential oils to have around you could be ones of cedar,
Clove,
Frankincense,
Palisanto,
Sandalwood.
These earthly smells really help ground you with this root chakra and bring it back into balance.
You can support yourself with crystals as well,
Like garnet,
Hermitite,
Onyx,
Smoky quartz,
Tourmaline.
All very important if you're wanting to rebalance this particular area of the body.
When the root chakra is open and clear,
You'll feel that your physical space is sufficient and respected.
You'll be more connected to your body and to others.
You'll feel more strength being grounded and rooted to the earth,
And therefore able to trust the universe and the faith that you have in your higher power and in your higher self.
When we create roots,
The branches can grow.
The guided root chakra meditation on Insight Timer will help you to do just this.
Plant roots deep into the earth's core in order for you to feel like you can grow on the earth's surface.
