Addictive Behaviours

How CAN YOu balance your Root Chakra?

Do you fit either category or maybe a little bit of both? Have no fear, you can always become balanced again! It just takes work. So, if you are willing to put in the time that is the first step.

I will be writing more about what I learned about how to balance it in the coming articles. For now, focus on figuring out the root (pun intended lol) of what is causing these imbalances. I have personally always found that digging up the past can be healing for your present - as long as you use it for healing purposes.
