Root Chakra

The root chakra (Muladhara) is the first chakra, located at the base of the spine. It's related to our general sense of security and safety, relating to things like survival issues (finances, food, etc.), and develops in the first seven years of our life.

When this chakra is balanced and flowing, we feel grounded, secure, and safe. When it's blocked, we feel ungrounded, afraid, or threatened.
