Energize the Root Chakra

The Root Chakra is connected to physical energy and grounding to the present moment. The Root Chakra links us to the physical world, solidity and support - especially to the physical body. It is the foundation of energy. We are like trees, we need to have strong deep roots to grow. Our social roots are so complex and chaotic these days that we must lie our roots in the Earth to have a sense of place and meaning and stability.

SANSKRIT: Muladhara – Mula=root, adhara=support

Root Chakra:

• Located at the base of the spine.
• Keeps us rooted to earth, but we don’t want to live only in this chakra which would lead to the ruling of power, territory, violence and ego. We want a balance of all the chakras.
• Represents primitive instinct, survival.
• Roots us to the earth to realize our dependence on the earth's nourishment and care.
• Associated with adrenal gland which generates fight of flight response.
• Associated with the color red, which is the first color of the rainbow, the lowest color of the spectrum, color of blood, life.

When Root Chakra Malfunctions: You may experience obesity, hemorrhoids, constipation, greed, waste and destruction of nature. You may be finding a sense of belonging through belongings rather than being rooted to the Earth and feeling at peace with your true nature.

When Root Chakra is Open: You have the ability to let go of past feelings, repressed anger. You feel a part of nature and connected to other people; a sense of belonging.

Energizing the Root Chakra:

• Use Red, Brown or Black Crystals like Jasper, Ruby, Birds Eye Rhyolite
• Use Grounding Crystals like Bloodstone, Hematite and Pyrite
• Physical Exercise
• Walking on the Earth, especially barefoot

The First Chakra: Root Chakra

The First or Root Chakra is found at the base of the spine, the point you are sitting on right now as you read this post! Its name, Muladhara, means "root," and the paths of energy in this chakra extend downward like a root through the legs and feet to contact the solid earth below.

Its color is a deep red, and its symbol is a lotus of four petals within which is a downward-pointing triangle, symbolizing the root energy.

The Muladhara or Root Chakra is the foundation for the whole chakra system. Its function is to respond to any issues concerning survival: eating, sleeping, exercising, recovering from illness, making a living, or simply feeling safe and secure. If our survival needs are properly taken care of, then we can safely focus on other levels, such as learning, creativity, or relationships. If there is some damage to the chakra, then we find ourselves repeatedly coping with threats to our survival, which keeps us from accomplishing other things. These threats might be changing jobs, having to move, recurrent health problems, weight problems, or a general feeling of fear for one’s safety.

When the chakra is closed, we lack stability. When it is too open, we are frozen solid. The ideal state would be to have stability and flexibility in balance.

The element associated with the Root Chakra is earth. Earth is solid, earth is heavy, earth is below us, and earth supplies us with our survival needs: food, clothing and shelter.

Eating is a very basic Root Chakra survival activity. Without food, we do not survive very long. Eating disorders often indicate a Root Chakra imbalance. Eating is a grounding activity—it helps to bring us down, helps us to feel settled, calm, secure. Excess weight can be an attempt to ground out high stress, to protect the body, or to replace proper grounding techniques. Eating too little or being chronically underweight can be an attempt to avoid grounding and physicality because it seems too frightening or confining.

Red, black and brown healing crystal gemstones are popular for the Root Chakra. Visit our Root Chakra center to shop our selection of healing crystal jewelry and accessories designed to help heal and open your Root Chakra.
