• issues in the lower body, including the lower back, legs, feet, knees, and the base of the spine

Emotional issues

• feeling ungrounded or even disassociated 
• erratic behavior
• depression and lack of motivation
• living in “survival mode”
• negativity and cynicism

Spiritual issues

• inability to trust in the Earth to support and nourish you
• doubt about your place in the universe
• crisis of faith
• loss of will

Some ways to balance your Root chakra are: 

1. Movement (Yoga, running outside, dance, gardening…)
2. Grounding (connecting to the earth with your bear feet for at least 20 minutes a day).
3. Meditation and Breathwork (diaphragmatic breathing).
4.  Here are some powerful herbs for root chakra: Red Root, Elderberry, Yarrow, Ashwagandha, Damiana. I wild harvested most of these herbs and created a powerful Root Chakra Tincture. I would take 1 full dropper up to 3 times a day. It’s magical for helping with physical, emotional, spiritual problems connected to root chakra.
5. Eating lots of grounding food for root chakra, such as: beets, and root vegetables, pomegranates, cherries, raspberries, cranberries, blood oranges…naturally red food.
