This is the last of a three part series on Tarot and the root chakra. In the first part, “10 Tarot Cards That May Indicate a Blocked Root Chakra (1st Chakra)” we looked at some of the cards that are signposts for root chakra issues. In the second part, “Understanding the Root Chakra More Deeply: Safety, Survival, and the Foundations of Self,” we explored some of the devastating effects that problems with our root chakra can cause in our adult lives.
Of course, for any problem, we should also lay out some solutions, so in this post I’ve compiled some of the resources that I’ve personally used and found to be dependable. If you’re aware of other resources that you’d like to see listed here, please don’t hesitate to write and let me know.
