When you have a well-balanced root chakra, you're well grounded, bonded well with your mother and with Mother Earth, and have a rich sense of security, sense of belonging and self-esteem.  One of the best ways to ground your root chakra is to get down on your knees and garden.  It's also the best way to celebrate Earth Day!  Plant some red flowers (the root chakra spins at the frequency of red light) and you'll experience a surge of vitality.
Namaste!  Becca
