The Root Chakra is where universal life energy enters at the bottom of the spine then proceeds to travel up to the Crown Chakra at the top of the head. It is our center for survival and self-preservation. Root Chakra energy controls the muscular and skeletal system, the spine, bone marrow, immune system, adrenal glands, and the entire physical body to an extent. When your Root Chakra is aligned and balanced then you are overall healthy, feel safe and secure, grounded into productive action, and able to provide for life’s necessities.
Root Chakra Imbalances
Imbalanced Root Chakra energy can lead to a variety of physical ailments such as chronic low back pain, sciatica, arthritis, cancer, autoimmune disease, anemia, rectal problems, and lower extremity ailments in general. Many mental emotional ailments can also arise from an imbalanced Root Chakra such as fatigue, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, paranoia, suicidal ideations, dysfunctional family relationships, and difficulty being your authentic self.
Do you think your Root Chakra can use some love and attention? Here are some of my favorite ways to nourish the Root Chakra energy!
Root Chakra Affirmation
The way you speak to yourself matters. Choose to be kind! Repeat to yourself quietly or out loud as often as you can: “I am safe, secure, and stable.”
Nature Time
Spending time with nature is very nourishing for the Root Chakra. Go for a walk, gaze at the moon, start a garden, or do anything that connects you with nature! Earthing aka standing barefoot on the ground is very beneficial for the Root Chakra and your overall well-being. Ask yourself, how are you connected to your natural environment? Then make a truly conscious effort to strengthen that connection.
Red Color
The color of the Root Chakra energy is predominantly red. Wearing the color red is great for the Root Chakra. Eating red foods such as organic strawberries, radishes, red beets, tomatoes, and cinnamon spice is also fantastic nourishment for the Root Chakra.
Gemstones
A few gemstones that nourish the Root Chakra are Onyx, Black Tourmaline, and Red Jasper. They promote a sense of stability, better energy, and protect from negative vibes. Simply wear them and keep them in your surroundings.
Adrenal Support
The Root Chakra provides us with energy and vitality just as our two adrenal glands located on top of our kidneys do for the body. Too much stress in life greatly impacts the adrenal glands and eventually the adrenals no longer function optimally which can lead to fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, and more. If your Root Chakra seems imbalanced and you live a high stress life with these symptoms, then it may be time to consider taking a nutritional supplement to support your adrenal glands.
