The word “chakra” comes from Sanskrit, meaning “disk” or “wheel”, this refers to energy centers in your body. These spinning wheels of energy connect to sections of your body.

To function at their best, your chakras should be open and balanced. When they are blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms, usually related to that particular chakra.

There are 7 main chakra’s that run along your spine. They start at the base of your spine and go all the way to the crown of your head. Although there are many little chakra’s all over your body, we normally work with the 7 major chakra’s.

Root/Base chakra

The base (also known as the Root) chakra is located at the base of the spine. It controls the lower end of the body, ruling the hips, thighs, legs and feet. This chakra is concerned with the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter. It is instinctive, as opposed to emotional, mental or spiritual this is because its focus is survival. The base helps keep us in one piece, so it will activate when something or someone threatens our happiness or even our survival.
