As the first of our seven energy centers|chakras, the Root Chakra is the base of our sense of self. It is the core foundation of our energetic system and the physical world. Balance in the Root Chakra provides us with security and strength, giving us the self-esteem to hold a strong and confident presence. When the Root Chakra is in balance, we feel empowered through a secure sense of self-worth and belonging as we move through life.
