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.

Every other chakra is downstream and gets its power from the Root. The root chakra represents the earth and all of our survival instincts. It governs our primal erotic and procreational urges. It is the center of physical energy and is related to our sense of grounding in the physical world. It allows us to connect to the earth energies and empower our being.

Issues regarding, health, stillness, prosperity, safety, fear, perception, deep-rootedness, acceptance, stability, and physical self-preservations are governed by the Root chakra. This chakra also contains 8 primary cells that do not change in our lifetimes and have all of the knowledge of creation. The Root chakra is the center for manifestations.

Each chakra can have one of four stages, closed, under-active, open and over-active. Chakras that are closed or under-active exhibit the same behavior, the closed ones are more extreme.

An under-active or closed Root chakra has the following characteristics, lack of confidence, weak, unable to achieve goals, suicidal, sexual energy is non-existent, you feel unlovable, fear, insecure. If this energy center is blocked it can result in a core sense of unworthiness, self-doubt and shame. People with an under-active Root chakra often acquire and try to keep control of material possessions. They also have addictive personalities.

An open status has the following characteristics, you feel centered, grounded, healthy, fully alive, have unlimited physical energy, can manifest abundance, body is in good shape. People who have open root chakras love their lives and love their physical bodies.

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.
