Visualize Red

Red is the color associated with the root chakra. Visualizing is an easy tool to help ground yourself. Imagining the color red and maintaining your focus on it during meditation will assist you in staying connected to the earth's grounding energies. Sometimes it is easier to visualize objects rather than colors, so imagine a big juicy apple, or focus your eye on the fleshy insides of a watermelon. You could take this step even further by visualizing the planting of watermelon seeds and the seedlings rooting themselves deeply into the soil.
