Located at the base of the spine, the Root Chakra (Muladhara) forms our foundation, the seat of our life force, and is the building block on which all other chakras rest. Associated with the color red and the symbol of the four-petal Lotus flower, the Root Chakra deals with feelings of security, trust and survival as well as our connection with our physical body and its nourishment. When this chakra is in balance we feel grounded, strong and secure and have a sense of inner security that allows us to trust in the universe. Try a cup of this earthy, grounding herbal tea to help you link to your foundation. The pink cup has a tart aroma and a slightly fruity taste of sweet spices that is sure to please.
