Root Chakra

Ground and Center

Foundations, grounding, basic needs, survival, physical identity, responsibilities, the place where we build out lives, time in nature.

This image speaks of finding home within yourself, a sense of deep inner peace and a strong sense of grounding and being centered. Here, you can be released from the grips of survival into a place of thriving. There is trust, connection to community, and you can rely on others and joyfully understand your responsibilities in turn. You are held and have strong foundations for all aspects of life. With your guard down, you have the tools to ride the waves if you need. Everything is okay.

Restore: Spend time in nature. Sit or stand barefoot in nature and feel your roots merging with the earth beneath you. Consider your founding beliefs. If they no longer serve you, it may be time to reconsider your priorities or the foundations you live your life by. Be aware of any recurring patterns that may be holding you back.

Themes: Home, foundations, physical bases and responsibility.

Healing position: Base of the spine, groin.

Color wash: Red.
