Root Chakra Meaning, Causes, Unblocking

The root chakra is the foundation of our being, and it’s where we connect with our basic instincts and bodily functions. It’s also where we get our sense of security, belonging, and self-esteem.

When this chakra is out of balance or unaligned with your other chakras, it can cause some serious problems in your life.

Here are some tips on how to cleanse your root chakra so that you can bring balance back into your life by connecting more deeply with yourself!

Root Chakra Meaning

The root chakra is located at the base of your spine, just below your tailbone. It’s called this because it’s where we get our roots from—the part of us that can’t be moved or changed so easily.

This chakra is associated with red and is considered to be the foundation of our bodies since it controls movement and circulation throughout our bodies.

As a result, when you’re feeling stuck in life or feeling upset about something that happened in the past, it might be helpful to take some time out from thinking about what happened (or didn’t happen) so that your mind can slow down enough for new ideas to come into focus instead!

What is the Root Chakra?

The root chakra is located at the base of your spine and is associated with the element of earth.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on solid ground, this is what it means! Your feet are planted firmly on the ground and you can feel safe in doing so because they know they’re not going anywhere.

The purpose of this chakra is to keep us rooted in our place on this planet—it’s where we come from and where we belong.

It also represents what makes us unique: our individual personalities, values, beliefs, and opinions.

It provides us with solid foundations upon which we build our lives as individuals—a foundation that allows us to stand tall as unique individuals who have their own unique identity (and sometimes even a sense of superiority).

Where is Root Chakra located?

The root chakra is located at the base of the spine, in between your coccyx (tailbone) and pubic bone. It’s also known as Muladhara Chakra or Svadhisthana Chakra because it corresponds to Svadhisthana (the navel center).

It can be found in three areas:

  • In your pelvis – directly under where you think of as “your belly button”
  • In your lower back – right above where you think of as being straight down from there (wherever that is)

What does Root chakra do?

The root chakra is the foundation of your life. It’s the center of your being, and it connects you to the earth. This chakra gives you energy to live, helps you find your way in life, and makes it easier for you to connect with others.

When this chakra is blocked or weak, we may experience physical symptoms like fatigue or headaches; emotional problems like depression or anxiety; or mental blocks that keep us from obtaining what we want from life.

Root Chakra color

The color of this chakra is blue, as it represents water. This signifies healing and purification, protection from illness, and negative energy sources like pollution or toxins in our environment (which can cause stress).

The root chakra also governs digestion: when you have an imbalance here, it may cause feelings of constipation or bloating in addition to other symptoms such as fatigue or poor immune function — making you more susceptible to illness!

How to tell if your Root Chakra is misaligned, weak, or out of balance

If you find that your root chakra is blocked, it can be helpful to look at the following questions:

  • Are you feeling disconnected from the earth? This could happen if your connection with the ground is weak or not strong enough. The best way to know if this is happening for you is by noticing if you feel like nothing is holding up beneath your feet or if something has been removed from underneath them (such as an earthquake). If so, then it’s likely that there are some issues with your root chakra.
  • Do you feel like there isn’t much support around? A person who feels unsupported might have issues with their well-being because they don’t have any good friends or family members nearby who will help out when needed—and thus make sure that everything runs smoothly daily (for example: job interview preparation).

What causes a blocked root chakra?

It is best to address any blocked root chakra issues as soon as possible. If you notice that your root chakra is blocked, then it’s important to consult with a specialist at an energy healer.

These healers can help you remove the blockage and open up your energy flow once again so that it flows freely throughout your entire body.

If specific issues are causing a blockage in this area of the body or if there has been trauma associated with this region (such as abuse), then it may be necessary for someone who specializes in these areas to come into contact with yours directly before they can begin working on removing blocks within themself too!

How to balance your root chakra?

There are many ways to balance your root chakra. You can use crystals, meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy. You can also use color therapy and music to stimulate the energy in the area of your root chakra.

You can buy a stone pendant or necklace that has a crystal inside it that will help balance your energy field by aligning with all colors of the rainbow (red, orange yellow green blue purple violet).

This type of stone is called an amethyst because they have an energy that boosts intuition and creativity while helping you connect with yourself on a deeper level.

If you want to bring balance back into your life, then a chakra bracelet may be just what you need.

Chakras are energy centers throughout our bodies. They’re also referred to as psychic centers and can be thought of as windows into our souls.

Each chakra corresponds with specific feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that help us live harmoniously with ourselves and others in the world around us (and sometimes beyond).

When we come across an issue or challenge that affects us spiritually, physically, or emotionally—or even all three—it’s important for us not only to recognize this but also find ways to deal with it through self-care such as meditation or yoga classes; practicing forgiveness; taking time out for yourself alone so no matter how busy life gets when things get tough remember there will always be someone who cares about what happens next!

Conclusion

With all of the information above in mind, it’s time to focus on your chakras and improve your life by bringing balance back into the world. We hope this article has helped you understand how a chakra bracelet can help you achieve that goal.
