Base Chakra
It is located at the base of spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth and is therefore related to our survival instincts and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security and dynamic presence. It represents our physical identity- the ability to identify with our body and its needs.
