The root chakra is deeply connected to our survival instincts, our sense of safety, and security. It is the vital connection we have with the Earth, our grounding energy. For children and babies, it’s especially important to ensure that this chakra is developed strongly, as it is linked to our connection with our mother when we were in the womb, where we first experienced safety, nourishment, and stability. This foundational energy centre is symbolised by the colour red and the mantra “I AM.”
The root chakra governs our legs, feet, and the base of the spine. It is associated with feelings of stability, balance, and groundedness. Imagine it as the roots of a bamboo tree—strong and deep, yet flexible, allowing it to bend without breaking, even in the harshest conditions.
One of the richest practices to bring the root chakra into alignment is:
- Yoga poses such as Warrior I, Warrior II, Mountain Pose, and Downward-Facing Dog, as these poses help anchor your energy and connect you to the Earth.
- Spending time in nature, especially walking barefoot on the earth, helps strengthen the root chakra and deepen the connection to the Earth’s stabilizing energy.
Feel free to take a few moments today to check in with your own root chakra. How do you feel in your body, your foundation? You can close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize a glowing red light at the base of your spine, grounding you with the Earth. Let it bring you stability and strength.
I AM grounded. I AM safe. I AM secure.
