When life feels a bit overwhelming or you’re struggling to feel steady, it might be time to check in with your Root Chakra. Located at the base of your spine, this energy centre is all about grounding, safety, and stability. It’s your energetic foundation – the part of you that helps you feel secure and connected to the world around you.
What is the Root Chakra?
The Root Chakra (also known as Muladhara) is your body’s first chakra and is linked to your most basic needs – things like security, survival, and feeling at home in your body and environment. It’s located at the base of the spine. When your Root Chakra is balanced, you’re more likely to feel calm, centred, and confident in handling everyday challenges. When it’s out of balance, it can lead to feelings of anxiety, restlessness, or being “all over the place”.
This chakra is associated with the colour red – think of it like a bright, steady flame keeping you grounded and energised.
