First Chakra
Throughout our body, we have seven main chakras or energy centers. This article will be based on the first chakra, known as the Base or Root Chakra. This chakra is located between the anus and the genitals, around 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.
Contained in this chakra are the 8 primary cells that have all the knowledge of creation. These cells remain the only cells in our bodies that do not change in our lifetimes. All issues around physical self-preservation, stability, acceptance, deep-rootedness, perception, fear, stillness, health, prosperity, and safety are governed by the Root chakra. It 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.
The following exhibits symptoms of an under-active or closed Root Chakra, weak, unable to achieve goals, lack of confidence, fear, insecurity, no sexual energy, suicidal, unloved feelings. All in all the individual will have a core sense of unworthiness, shame and self-doubt. These individuals have often addictive personalities, are controlling and materialistic.
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.
