1st CHAKRA - COURAGE

1st, Root Chakra (Muladhara)

The first chakra is the center of physical energy – a connection with the earth and a sense of grounded; as well as instincts with survival. When out of balance it makes us feel low energy- alienated from ourselves and others-and easily angered. When in balance it makes us feel secure, stable, full of health, energy, and vitality
