10 Down-to-Earth Ways to Clear
Your Root Chakra and Release Your Fears

Maybe you're going through a hard time (in this economy, so many of us are), or maybe it's a more deeply ingrained part of your nature--but whatever the cause, you're feeling anxious, insecure, vulnerable, unable to relax and let your guard down.

Clearing, balancing, and opening your first chakra can help you get your feet back under you when you're feeling like you're "losing your grip." It can help you relax, feel calmer and more secure, and let go of nagging fears. It can help you gain the feeling that you truly belong in the universe, and that everything will turn out basically alright for you.

Astrology is for Skeptics

Real astrology charts life's natural cycles. It describes creation and experiences in ways that make sense.
