There are seven main energy centers or chakras located throughout our bodies. I will go into detail about the first of the chakras, also known as the Base or Root Chakra. The Root Chakra is located between the genitals and the anus at the base of the spine. Being the first chakra, all other chakras get this power from this one. Our survival instincts and the earth are represented by the root chakra. Our primal erotic and procreational urges are governed by the Root Chakra. It is also the center of physical energy and related to our sense of grounding in the physical world. This chakra allows us to connect to earth energies and this enables us to empower our being. This chakra also contains the primary 8 cells that have all the knowledge of creation and remain the only cells in our body that do not change in our lifetime. The Root Chakra governs issues around physical self-preservation, stability, acceptance, deep-rootedness, perception, fear, stillness, health, prosperity and safety. The Root Chakra is the center for manifestations. Each chakra can be in one of four stages. The worst stage is closed, this means that no energy is getting through. The chakra can then progress through under-active, and then even more to an open stage. Open is the desire stage for each chakra. If there is too much energy, the chakra can become over-active. A closed or under-active Root chakra can act as follows, weak, lack of confidence, unable to achieve goals, non-existent sexual energy, suicidal, fear, insecurity, feel unloved. A core sense of unworthiness will result in a blocked root chakra as well as shame and self-doubt. People who have under-active Root chakras are often materialistic, controlling and have addictive personalities. If your Root chakra is open you will have a great physical body, unlimited physical energy and the ability to manifest abundance. You will feel alive, healthy, centered and grounded. You love your body and your life. An over-active Root chakra has the following characteristics, egoistic, domineering, greedy, sadistic, sexual energy entirely genital, judging, and usually has biased opinions. You can help tone done your root chakra by wearing the color green and taking the time to enjoy each moment. The Root chakra's colors are red and black. You can wear these colors to balance this chakra. Also, stones can be used to help balance the Root chakra. The element for the first chakra is earth and the chakra is associated with smell. The developmental stage for this chakra begins in the womb and is usually completed by 1 year. This chakra's demon is fear. |
