Chakra in Sanskrit means wheel. These wheels move energy through the body in yoga traditions, though they cannot be seen or touched. When the chakras flow together in harmony, they regulate spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional health. There are <\/span>7 main chakras<\/span><\/a> in total: Sahasrara, Ajna, Vishuddha, Anahata, Manipura, Svadhisthana, and Muladhara, and each of these contains specific nerve centers in the body and impact physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual states.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first chakra, or base chakra, is called the Root Chakra or Muladhara. It\u2019s known as the seat of Kundalini, symbolized by a red lotus with four petals. It is the energy found at the base of the spine, and it surrounds the bladder, the colon, and the first three vertebrae. It is associated with one\u2019s survival instinct, being guarded, and connection to the world around us. When balanced, it keeps one grounded and stable for everyday situations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must keep these chakras unblocked. Otherwise, the energy will not be able to flow. A blocked chakra may lead to uneasiness and negativity. It prevents your energy from flowing and balancing the body mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Since the root chakra is the foundation point of all spiritual journeys and the physical body, it can affect all the other energies or chakras in the body; if blocked, it will affect the other chakras negatively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of a misaligned root chakra can be seen physically in the lower parts of the body, including the genital area. It may manifest as eating disorders, kidney stones, issues with digestion, constipation, prostate problems, colitis, hypertension, and impotence. It may also manifest as a struggle for survival, guilt, resentment, <\/span>anxiety<\/span><\/a>, insecurities, <\/span>depression<\/span><\/a>, lack of focus, and feeling stuck.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
