In chakra traditions, the root chakra is associated with grounding, safety and stability. Its location is the base of the spine; its colour is red.<\/p>\n

Do I feel grounded?<\/h2>\n

This theme concerns your foundation: your connection to your body and the feeling of having somewhere to settle. Reflecting on grounding can be a starting point for exploring this.<\/p>\n

Feet on the ground<\/h2>\n

Stand or sit comfortably with your feet on the ground. Visualise roots growing from your feet into the earth. Breathe calmly and focus on your contact with the ground.<\/p>\n

Colour and crystals<\/h2>\n

Red jasper and obsidian are associated with this chakra within this approach. You can use red in the visualisation. A crystal can serve as a focus for your attention, but is not needed for the exercise.<\/p>\n

The introduction to chakras<\/a> places this exercise in its spiritual context. Want to continue the series? Read about the sacral chakra<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
