Hello there !
If you're new to Chakras and Kundalini, you might be wondering, "What on earth are these Chakras, let alone the root chakra?" Let's break it down for you!
What are Chakras?
In simple terms, Chakras are energy centres in our body, these energy centres regulate the flow of the divine energy called kundalini. 'Chakra' in Sanskrit means something that move in circular motion. In simple words these are circular energy vortexes inside the body. If any energy center is blocked, it hampers the flow of energy in body and hence impacts physically, mentally and spiritually. In current medical science, the Chakras has been loosely related to important glands in the body such as pineal gland, prostate gland, pituitary gland etc. but the ancient vedic texts go far beyond the physical explanations. For us beginners, we should visualize chakras as energy centres in the body that regulate flow of energy and impact us physically, emotionally and spiritually.
How many Chakras are there?
There are in fact 108 small and big chakras in the body but the main chakras are 7:
Root Chakra
Sacral Chakra
Manipur or Solar Plexus Chakra
Heart Chakra
Throat Chakra
3rd Eye Chakra
Crown Chakra.
What is Root Chakra?
Root Chakra is the base chakra from which the energy flow starts. This is the most basic and important chakra. This chakra is activated for not just humans but for animals as well. It governs the basic survival needs of the body. The kundalini energy starts from this chakra, thus it is very important to keep it balanced.

Do you get the feeling that things are happening to fast and without your control? If your answer is yes to any of the above, then there is likely chance you need to work on your root chakra.
