How to Balance and Heal the Root Chakra

 

Root chakra meditation and yoga and very helpful here.

Hop onto YouTube and there are any number of binaural and isotonic recordings resonating at the frequency of the root chakra helping you to stabilize the energy and hopefully dispel fear.

ROOT CHAKRA ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS
General note on using essential oils and crystals together:

Place the crystal into the carrier oil and leave the blend to sit for around 20 minutes before use. If you have a bottle big enough, make a much larger amount of the mix and leave it bottled with the crystal to allow the charge to optimize and be ready next time you want to use it.

Alternatively, use the essential oil blend and simply place the oils, then the crystal onto the chakra and allow them to work in harmony.
