The root/base chakra is the first chakra.

It has the energy of grounding and connection to the earth.

It is all about self-care, self-preservation, instincts and survival.

The function of the root/base chakra is to give energy and vitality to the physical body.

If we do not feel supported and safe in the world our root/base chakra can become unbalanced.

If the root/base chakra is blocked or underactive we may feel depressed or anxious and live in fear focusing on resentment.

If the root/base chakra is too open or overactive we may feel impatient or greedy, attaching to material security and consuming unnecessarily.

When this chakra is in balance we are easily able to trust the natural flow of life, to let go and feel secure and at one with all that we have, knowing it is all we need.
