I am grounded and secure.
The Root Chakra, Muladhara, rules over survival, security, and our most basic needs. It influences psychological functions such as courage and trust. Physically, the Root Chakra is in charge of the large intestine, feet, legs, back, skeletal structure, and blood. When the Root Chakra is balanced, you feel safe, stable, strong, and grounded. You’re ready to take on change and growth.
Out of Balance:
When this chakra is thrown out of alignment, you may experience anxiety, fear, panic attacks, and uncertainty. Physical symptoms include a sore back, pain in the legs or feet, and lethargy.
