THE FIRST CHAKRA
The ROOT Chakra or The BASE Chakra or The MULADHARA
[It is from this Chakra the Physical Identity rises]
Location: Base of the Spine (Coccyx)
Color: Red (secondary color Black)
Element: Earth
Glands/Organs: Adrenals, Kidneys, Spinal Column, Colon, Legs, Bones
Gems/Minerals: Ruby, Garnet, Bloodstone, Red Jasper, Obsidian Black Tourmaline, Smoky Quartz
Foods: Proteins (light on meats and dairy), Red Fruits and Vegetables
This is the Chakra that governs our physical existence, our bodies, and our overall health. It connects us to our physical identity and is oriented to self-protection. Births, beginnings, renewal, and self-reliance are all attributes here. This Chakra forms our foundation. It is our anchor point. It is related to our survival instincts during dangerous situations. Through it comes our sense of grounding to the earth and the connection of our bodies to the physical plane of existence. The main function of this Chakra is to give vitality to the physical body. In males it is a contributor to the sexual drive. It is the root of the Life Force where the flow of energy is kept alive and moving
Ideally this Chakra brings health, prosperity, security, passion, will-power, and mastery of the body, courage, individuality, stability, and success in matters relating to the material world.
When the First Chakra is congested it leads to feelings of weakness and a sense of being ungrounded.
When it is overworked fears related to survival can be overwhelming. One can become egoistic, domineering, greedy, and even sadistic.
When the First Chakra is unbalanced a person may become obsessed with material security and success, with the acquisition of “things”. They can become self-centered, experience insecurity, greed, anger, even violence. The physical manifestations of an unbalanced First Chakra include tension in the spine and constipation.
If this Chakra is blocked, low self-esteem, paranoia, over-aggressiveness, or even the possibility of self-destruction can be exhibited.
Keeping the First Chakra healthy and balanced will keep the body healthy and balanced. It will keep the center for combining earthly and universal energies within the body working well. It will contribute to a healthy, beneficial Aura because it is in fine working condition.
