Root Chakra
What is the Root Chakra?
The Root Chakra, also called the Base Chakra, is located at the base of the spine and controls the energy for kinaesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical energy and spiritual energy for the body.
When it is physically out of balance
The symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. You may experience lower back pain, or suffer from leg pain or immune system disorders.
When its spiritual energies are out of balance
You will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant. You may begin to doubt your beliefs, stop being loyal to long-term associates and organizations, or find yourself deriving little joy from physical pleasures.

Things That Can Help
Crystals with the Red colours ray such as Red jasper, Quartz Crystal and Carnelian, are helpful in restoring balance to the Root Chakra. The benefits of just a few minutes a day with one of these crystals resting between the legs for 5 - 10 minutes are substantial.
The benefits are enhanced if the crystal energy is augmented with Reiki healing and exercises that focus on the lower back, and with activities that connect you with nature such as hiking, gardening, rock collecting, and physical outdoor games.
