It grounds you and gives you the energy for life’s trials, fight and fight’s response. Root chakra is located at the base of the body.

Exercise: Being grounded is very important to take all the energy from this chakra. So, whatever you do, try to do it with utmost grace. Many people feel tight in some parts of the body, whereas feel relax in the other parts, so balance happens only everything becomes proper. Just to check this energy. Stand still and tall on the both feet. Now, calm yourself. Put both feet a little apart and then your heels should be beneath your hips. Close your eyes. Balance till you are satisfied. Now, notice your tendency whether you stand on heels or toes. Gently balance till you are over the mid-point. Now, see your weight. Make sure you are giving equal weight to both feet. Your all 10 fingers of feet should be firmly attached to the ground. Now, feel your each bone and keep them straight. Bring your shoulders straight and chin parallel to the ground. Stand as tall as possible and feel the rhythmic breath. Experience that your body is firmly rooted and feel the freedom of mind. Now, your physical posture is firmly rooted and asks yourself, “Where do you stand now?”
