Each of us have 7 Chakras and when balanced they work together to create an optimal life.
When most people talk about unhealthy root chakras, they’re referring to “blocked” or deficient chakras that restrict energy flow but they can also have too much energy and become overactive. The best way to tell if you need root chakra healing is to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, actions and physical sensations.
The root chakra is the first chakra. Its energy is based on the earth element. It’s associated with the feeling of safety and grounding. It’s at the base of the chakra system and lays the foundation for expansion in your life. It's located at the base of the spine and is associated with security, safety, basic survival needs such as food, sleep, shelter, self-preservation, etc.
The root chakra provides the foundation on which we build our life. It supports us in growing and feeling safe into exploring all the aspects of life. It is related to our feeling of safety and security, whether it’s physical or regarding our bodily needs or metaphorical regarding housing and financial safety. To sum it up, the first chakra questions are around the idea of survival and safety. The root chakra is where we ground ourselves into the earth
