Affirmation: I am connected and grounded through the earth.

Located at the base of your spine, your tailbone and is related to the colours reds, blacks, browns and even greys.

When this chakra is balanced it is associated with feelings of stability and being energetic, you feel grounded, secure, are organized, enjoy a strong focus and mental stability. If you suffer from anxiety and stress, have a disruptive relationship with your mother, feel lazy or unmotivated, this chakra is unbalanced. 

When this chakra is overactive there are strong feelings of greed, lust for power, being aggressive, very materialistic and cynical.

To help get this chakra back into balance enjoy a diet rich in red foods, think root vegetables, berries and when meditating visualize red energy circulation back and forth thru your tailbone area and enjoy grounding rituals like gardening, forest bathing and yes hugging trees! Wearing gemstones close to your body is an easy way to enjoy their vibrational energies!
