Root Chakra

The Root Chakra, or Muladhara, is located at the base of the spine. It's name translates as 'root' or 'support'. We can feel that this energy center in our body may need tending to when we feel an excess or even low levels of anxiety of, fear and instability. Or perhaps we look at situations in ours lives and we are feeling uprooted and unsafe. In the physical body, root chakra imbalance can give us clues with imbalances in our legs, feets, bones or the large intestine.

In this practice we will work with the energy of certain yoga poses, movement practices, breath and meditation combined WITH the energetic support of specific crystals known for their grounding properties. Often crystals chosen for grounding root chakra work have colors that remind us of the colors that would exists in the roots of the earth, like reds, blacks, browns and greys.

On a vibrational level, grounding crystals often contain a significant amount of iron, which may contribute to their grounding properties. The iron within these crystals is thought to create a magnetic pull that resonates with the Earth's iron core, increasing their ability to anchor and stabilize energy. This magnetic connection helps draw down excess energy and promotes a sense of stability and groundedness.

Today I am working with Obsidian, but you can also work with many kinds of Jaspers, Tourmaline, Obsidian, Garnet, or Hematite or other crystal you prefer for grounding.
