Root Chakra, First Chakra, Base Chakra, Muladhara.
The Root Chakra is red and is at the base of the spine, it is the slowest moving of the 7 main Chakras. It is associated with roots coming from our body extending down into the earth other names for this chakra are Base, First and traditionally Muladhara.
The root or base chakra is the red influence in our aura, the brighter the glow of red means the safer and more positive we feel, it also reflects the security we feel and are able to project.
The Root Chakra works with our material needs, our home, food, car, clothes etc. It is when these needs are not met that this chakra changes size and becomes imbalanced. Moving home or changing our job would be a classic examples of what outside influences could affect the Root Chakra. A perceived threat is the same as an actual threat to be thinking about a career change or moving house will disturb this Chakra this is the point where we can assist the flow of energy by taking remedial steps to maintain it’s purity, size and balance.
Of our five human senses, enjoying the sense of smell will assist this Chakra, to use Patchouli and to enjoy the sensations of this aroma will enhance the positive values attributed to the Root Chakra.
The Root Chakra is paired with the Throat Chakra, the throat being associated with mental/spiritual communication whilst the Root is physical gesture communication. The two are gentle reminders of humility, each one makes the other more effective.
Ruby, Rose Qtz, Red Jasper are Crystals that can assist in the visualisations of this Chakra, to hold a crystal and to enjoy the purity and the vibration that is unique to the crystal and to then relate it to the root chakra. A crystal placed on your alter or at your bedside during sleeping will aid the vibration and help synchronise the energy flow through this Chakra.
A simple breathing exercise that will help balance and maintain the root chakra is to take a short sharp breath in through the mouth and hold it deep in the pit of the stomach then breathe out slowly, then repeat this exercise two or three times and the root chakra will reveal itself to you as a sensation in the bowl of the pelvis.
The root chakra promotes self awareness and to understand our right to exist and to be here. Our flexibility and to be stable in our own environment.
An unbalanced or dirty Chakra is a potential cause for the body to physically or mentally manifest a variety of illnesses. If medical science is unable to diagnose an underlying cause or if the ailment is random or instant then this is potentially a cause worth considering.

The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system.)
