Rooting Trees
Rooting Trees came about because when I associate grounding I always visualize tree roots going down from my Root Chakra, down my legs and around my feet and all the way down to the center of the Earth. Anchoring me to my physical form and keeping me grounded to Earth, so I thought it was only appropriate to make the Root Chakra pillow a tree as what better way to ground then to dig your roots down like a tree.

The Root is our 1st Chakra, at the base of our major Chakra's and it connects us to the Earth. It holds our survival center, our sense of safety and security. It is our 1st Chakra because it's always important start balancing and strengthening through this Chakra as we want to ground to the Earth before opening up the top Chakra's, lack of stability can lead to an unbalanced opening and personal growth.
