Blocked Root Chakra: Signs & Symptoms

In the Hindu chakra tradition, a blocked Root chakra (Muladhara) shows up as persistent anxiety about finances, housing, or physical safety and similar signs of imbalance. Crystal Cassandra reads these as energetic patterns, not medical symptoms, and pairs Black Tourmaline with practice to help restore balance at the base of the spine.
