When the Base chakra is not balanced there is dissociation with the natural connections to physical reality and the sense of being part of creation. This causes a false sense of detachment, disinterest or even disdain, with nothing being appreciated or valued; life is meaningless and dull.

Symptoms of an imbalance within the Base chakra are:

· Lack of energy

· Exhaustion following slightest exertion

· Stiffness and painful movement

· Poor co-ordination

· Poor circulation

· Excessive tension or excitability

When one is uncomfortable with their body, it is wise to look at the Base chakra. The Base chakra must be well balanced in order to anchor and make use of spiritual energy. This allows us to create value in the here and now. It is vital to anchor those energies in order to keep outside energies from disrupting the way we function. The Base chakra is also the seat of passion. Although lust, sexual excitement and physical passion involve many different charkas, the Base chakra is associated with the motivation to ensure survival of the species. When the Base chakra is imbalanced ; strong emotions build-up, which may be released excessively or inappropriately. There is a tendency to be selfish with a lack of concern for others with a total denial of emotions, especially anger. At the other end of the spectrum, lack of assertiveness can also indicate imbalance within the Base chakra. To energize the Base chakra:

· Aromatherapy; especially combining the attributes of essential oils and crystal elixirs

· Massage or reflexology

· Warm bath

· Walking, running, jumping or stamping the feet improves the circulation, co-ordination and our link to the planet

· Eating high protein foods

The Base chakra is the foundation of energy. Located at the bottom of the spine, it is the rock upon which the whole of the chakra system, the subtle energies and physical body, rely and without which disorder soon arises. The Base chakra is also referred to as Root Chakra; this name comes from the Sanskrit name muladhara. Survival is the key activity of the Base chakra, which deals with life at the level of practicality. The Base chakra is our closet energy to the earth, there for linking us to the planet itself
