The root chakra is the first chakra of your physical body and is located at the base of your spine, near your coccyx bone (tailbone).
Each of the chakra energy centers have a role in balancing your physical and emotional being.
Your root chakra is connected to your sense of belonging, feeling grounded, and safety. Your connection to your family, your ancestry, and planet earth all reside here in your body. From the relative strength of these connections, your personality begins to evolve.
As the first of the seven major chakra of the physical body, it’s essential to pay attention to the root chakra in order for the others to function well. The keyword here is survival. All your survival instincts, resilience, and self-preservation characteristics live here.
If you’ve recently had surgery, a major illness, or trauma like physical violence or betrayal or if you have a history that includes neglect, abandonment, or instability, your root chakra likely needs some support.

Feeling spacey, distracted, or scattered are small signs that your root chakra may be out of balance.
An out of balance root chakra can also manifest physically as bowel disorders (like constipation and/or diarrhea), chronic illness, anxiety, disordered eating, unexplained or random pain throughout the body, and lack of focus or motivation.
Often, long-term feelings of vulnerability, paranoia, aggression, quick-tempered, insecurity, inability to relax, and anxiety are connected to an imbalance in this chakra. If you’ve always struggled to achieve your goals, or even lacked the confidence to set them, healing your root chakra can make a big change in your life.
The root chakra is a major piece of the foundation for your overall health. When it’s in balance with no blockages you’re more likely to feel incredibly healthy, stable, relaxed, trusting, secure, and prosperous. You have an abundance of energy as well as abundance thinking in all areas of life. Feelings of centeredness, calmness, and preparation are all characteristic of a balanced root chakra. People tend to describe you as having a lot of common sense and you’ll feel easy with yourself – mentally and physically.
