The Base or Root Chakra is associated with the color red. This chakra is the grounding force that allows us to connect to the earth energies and empower our being. It is the foundation of emotional and mental health. Our connection to familial belief supports the formation of identity and a sense of belonging to a group.

Focusing on the color red can help bring our energetic body "down to earth" and in alignment with our physical body when we find ourselves "spacing out."

Sacred Truth: All Is One - You are connected to all of life. Every choice you make and belief you hold exerts influence on the whole of life.

When this energy is balanced we feel centered, grounded, fully alive, healthy, have unlimited physical energy and we manifest abundance. Deficient red energy can cause a lack of confidence, inability to achieve goals, depression and suicidal thoughts. Excessive red energy leads to domineering and egotistical behavior, greed and unhealthy sexual energy.
