There are so many benefits that can come from stabilizing our root chakra. For one, our root chakra aids us in finding stability. When we experience instability, especially associated with life circumstances out of our control—it is a good time to turn inward and nurture our root chakra.

Just like the roots of a tree, our root chakra represents our physical body. It controls our adrenal glands, colon, kidneys, and all the way into the tissues.

For those who work with Ayurveda, our root chakra can be highly beneficial to help stabilize Vata personality types.
