More info about this chakra: The first chakra is located at the very base of your spine and is known as the Kundalini or Base chakra. This chakra is responsible for your grounding and connects you to Mother Earth through your feet.
When this charka is in balance you will trust in the natural flow of life, be able to let go, feel secure, have physical and mental flexibility, generosity and optimism. If there is a block or this chakra is out of balance you may experience an attachment to material security, rigid boundaries, not feel at home and be pessimistic. You may also be underweight, constipated and experience low energy levels.
If you do experience a block in this chakra then you could visualise the colour Red and imagine that this chakra is opening up like a lotus flower, inside the flower visualise a wheel spinning and becoming brighter and brighter red, all dark areas within the flower are slowly taken over by the colour red and you see it become more and more intense. When this is done imagine that the lotus flower petals slowly close up over the chakra and ask in your mind that this chakra be cleansed, closed and protected.
