This is the1st/base chakra and is located at the base of the spine/tailbone. This chakra corresponds to the very root of our being, and can be unbalanced if we feel our basic needs are threatened, particularly relating to food and financial security. This chakra can be healed with red & black gemstones such as Red Jasper, Carnelian, Black Tourmaline, Black Onyx and Hematite. Connecting with nature helps to keep you grounded, which heals this chakra - take a walk among the trees, go barefoot on grass.
