Disorders of the Root Chakra are often caused by difficulties and burdens in the childhood (3-5 years), if sufficient safety and security was not experienced.

In later years, the Root Chakra is mainly blocked by experiences of physical violence, existential fears, social fears and a lack of higher calling and connection to one’s soul.

A disturbance in the Root Chakra can lead to escape behavior – drugs, alcohol, food, consumption, sex addiction – but also to a spiritual escape behavior.

It can come to unconscious compensatory or even punitive actions. In addition to diseases such as bulimia and anorexia or a burn-out syndrome.

Furthermore to excessive attachment to relationships and circumstances, there may also be attachment to mental concepts, ideologies, and beliefs.

Many fears can arise, such as: Existential anxiety, fear of survival, fear of change, fear of not belonging to a family or a tribe, being afraid of being in the body; Phobias (e.g. from spiders or the like); also mental weakness, depression

Symptoms on the physical level include bowel disease, hemorrhoids, constipation, diarrhea, low back pain, lumbago, sciatica, bone disease, osteoporosis, leg and leg pain, varices and venous disorders, anemia, blood pressure fluctuations, stress-related illnesses, allergic complaints

Also known as the 1st or Root Chakra is considered by many to be the most important Chakra because it is the Chakra that connects us to our physical world.

Located at the base of our spine, it is the Root Chakra that governs over our physical energies, giving us a sense of safety and security with other people and ourselves.

Since the Root Chakra is the foundation and basis of our existence and evolution as a soul in a body, it also represents the bridge to the physical world, the soul’s entry into the experience of being incarnated.

It is important to balance this chakra first before balancing the others, from an energetic stand-point, as it is widely believed that this is where we draw our life force energy from.

If you are not properly grounded (or rooted into the ground) you simply can not balance the other chakras properly. This is the first level of human consciousness.
