The Root Chakra

Visualise the Root chakra as your foundation for healing, growing and living a life of balance.

When your basic human needs are met, it's easier to feel safe, secure and grounded within your situation. And it's from this space that you can move forward effectively.

Like any project, a solid foundation sets us up for longevity and ease.

  • Experiencing Anxiety, fear or mistrust

  • Feeling chaotic or unsettled

Visualisations that may help

Visualise yourself with the strength a tree. Use your breath to bring your attention to the souls of your feet.

Like roots of a tree, you can start to experience a deep connection to Mother Earth.

And when a tree has stable, strong roots, it can with withstand the wildest of weather.

This can be done standing up or sitting down, literally anywhere.
