We’ll start at the very beginning… it’s a very good place to start.
The First Chakra is the Root Chakra, (aka the Base Chakra). It is located at the base of your spine at the tailbone. This amazing chakra is aptly named because, like the roots of a tree, it is your connection to earth’s energy and the material world. It governs your survival instincts and your need for basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing. The root chakra helps revitalize your overall well-being and keeps you grounded.
If you’ve ever felt anxious, stressed, unsettled, scattered or insecure, your root chakra was out of whack. And just like a game of Jenga, if the base is unbalanced all the pieces above fall out of place too. It’s time to heal from your foundation and work your way up the chakra system as soon as disconnected feelings of any shape or form creep into your body, mind or spirit.
