Root Chakra

There are seven main chakras or energy centers located throughout the body. This article will detail the first of the seven, called the Root or Base chakra. The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine between the genitals and the anus.

Every other chakra is downstream and gets its power from the Root. This 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.

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 Base Chakra governs issues around physical self-preservation, stability, acceptance, deep-rootedness, perception, fear, stillness, health, prosperity and safety. It is also the center for manifestations.
