Root chakra crystals
Understanding the Root Chakra
The root chakra is associated with grounding, stability, and a sense of safety. It forms the foundation of the chakra system and is connected with feeling secure, supported, and present in everyday life.
When the root chakra feels balanced, it is often linked with calm, resilience, and a steady sense of confidence. It supports feelings of security and connection to the physical world, helping you feel anchored and at ease.
Crystals connected with the root chakra are traditionally chosen for their grounding and protective qualities. They are often found in deep reds, browns, and dark tones and are valued for encouraging stability, strength, and balance.
