The root chakra is called Muladhara in Sanskrit with Mula meaning “root” and Adhara meaning “base” or “support”.

Muladhara is the foundation of your entire chakra system.

It is located at the base of your spine and is represented by the color red. It is all about your security, safety and survival.

The root chakra connects you to Earth and helps you feel grounded.

If your root chakra is blocked, it can affect your whole body and make it hard or impossible for energy to flow through the other chakras. It is believed that if your root chakra is out of balance, it’s likely that your other chakras will also be out of balance.

If you have been feeling unsafe, anxious, fearful, or have been struggling with panic attacks or low self-confidence, this might indicate your root chakra is out of balance.

There are many methods which can help you unblock Muladhara. Working with crystals is one of my favorite ones :-).

How To Use Your Crystals To Unblock Your Root Chakra

There are many ways in which you can use your stones to help balance your root chakra (just make sure to have your stones cleansed before putting them to work :)).

1. Meditate with your crystals (lie down and place a crystal of your choosing on the chakra point), try to be as close to the surface of the earth as possible (depending on where you happen to meditate). 

2. Carry the stones with you (in your pocket or purse).

3. Wear the jewelry made of the root chakra crystals (you can never go wrong with a nice necklace or bracelet, right?). 

4. Place the stones around your house (if you are working from home, make sure to keep them on your desk as well).

Below you will find seven crystals to help you balance and unblock your root chakra (with some useful free printable materials :)).
