These energy centers are within and around the width of the body . Energy is moving every day , every minute within us and around us . When we understand our individual energy centers , we can work with them to self-heal and balance .
Let ’ s begin with the Root Energy Center ( or Chakra ) which is located at the base of your spine . It represents balance around survival , safety , courage , financial abundance , easy manifestation , grounding , and physical wellbeing . It is one of our connections to the Earth .
The ROOT is represented by the color red . Red represents a healthy exchange of energy with others , our vitality , survival , and passion . It can also increase your appetite . The Root is connected to the adrenal glands and one of the roles of these glands is how they affects our ability to deal with stress .
When the Root Energy Center is out of balance you may experience any of the following symptoms :
• Chronic “ fight or flight ” or fatigue
• Foot , ankle , knee , hip issues
• Fears
• Financial challenges
• Blocked or held back by beliefs tied to family loyalty
• Trust issues in your relationships
• Not feeling safe in such things as your job or relationships
• Feeling as if you can ’ t get ahead in life
• Difficulty focusing on where you are in the moment
• More accident prone
• Tension in the hips and lower spine , especially the tailbone
• Procrastination
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Bladder infections
• Kidney stones
• Hemorrhoids

When diving deeper into the ROOT , ask yourself the following questions :
Do you enjoy what you created in your life or where you are ? Are you trying to “ escape ”? Do you feel agitated ? What do you remember about your childhood ? Do you live in fear ?
