Knowing how to use different crystals for each chakra will help you feel more grounded, open your heart to love, build greater connection, and be able to surrender and trust that your life is filled with purpose and joy.

To balance your chakras using crystals, you can carry crystals for each chakra, wear them, meditate with them, or even charge your water in them (keep in mind, some crystals cannot be immersed in water).

Not sure which chakra needs to be balanced the most? Take our free quiz to find out!
The Root Chakra
Sanskrit Name: Muladhara
Color: Red
Element: Earth
Location: The base of the spine
The Root Chakra Influences:
- Your sense of safety
- Your sense of primal security
- Your ability to adapt, change, and grow
- Your sense of groundedness
The root chakra is primarily influenced by how safe we feel in terms of
primal needs such as food, sleep, shelter, and acceptance in the tribe.
Often our root chakra is blocked because our brains are wired to do 2
things: focus on threats and hold on to negative experiences more
easily than positive experiences. This was necessary for early humanity but in modern society, it makes us live in an unnecessary, yet constant, state of fear.
Our root chakra relates to our primal brain where acceptance into the tribe meant survival and vice versa.
This means that our brains are wired to see rejection, criticism, change, loss, and scarcity as a threat to survival when that isn’t quite a reality.
All of this can cause our root chakra to be unbalanced.
