FIRST CHAKRA - ROOT

FIRST CHAKRA- ROOT -Studying the individual chakras begins with the root chakra, called Muladhara in Sanskrit. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine at the tailbone in back, and the pubic bone in front. This center holds the basic needs for survival, security and
safety. The root chakra is powerfully related to our contact with the Earth Mother,providing us with the ability to be grounded into the earth plane. This is also the center
of manifestation. When you are trying to make things happen in the material world,
business or material possessions, the energy to succeed will come from the first chakra.
If this chakra is blocked an individual may feel fearful, anxious, insecure and frustrated.
Problems like obesity, anorexia nervosa, and knee troubles can occur. Root body parts
include the hips, legs, lower back and sexual organs. The colors used for this chakra are
red, brown and black. The gemstones are Garnet, Smoky Quartz, Obsidian, and Black
Tourmaline. NOTE: A man¹s sexual organs are located primarily in his first chakra, so male sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as physical. A women¹s sexual organs are
located primarily in her second chakra, so female sexual energy is usually experienced
primarily as emotional. Both chakras are associated with sexual energy.
