Episode 19: The Root Chakra
The root chakra is the center that supports you in feeling safe, connected, grounded, and survival/self-preservation. It is the base of the chakra system. When you are out of balance and feel like you need to control, hoard and isolate. You often can feel anxious, depressed and insecure.
From a perspective on energy and spirituality, the Root Chakra helps us feel like we belong and adds and sustains life force. We are energy in matter (our human body), so connecting with our physical self and honoring our connection to the Earth as well as the cycle and rhythm of life is critical. Caring for our primal needs like food, water, and shelter adds to our connection to life, and without them, the result can be death.
