The Root Chakra and Crystals for the Root Chakra

The Root Chakra is the foundation upon which every other body system relies for stability. It is the primary source of usable energy, drawn upon in times of danger to supply energy and physical solutions to life threatening situations. The root chakra is vital if we are to keep a grip on reality. A block in this chakra can lead to feelings of unreality, isolation and of not being able to cope. You may feel a sense of pointlessness and an inability to achieve goals. Centering and grounding are key attributes of the root chakra, establishing us firmly with our physical system, alerting us to the world around us and protecting our energies from depletion. 

Problems with the feet and legs, movement, and coordination might indicate a need to work with this Chakra. This chakras ability to ground excess energy as well as assimilate it means that when it is simulated by appropriate crystal placement it can help to release stress, creating a greater ability to relax physically, to let go of worries and to focus on the enjoyment of the present moment.
