The Root Chakra

This is week 1️⃣ of 7️⃣ all about the chakras ❤️🧡💛💚💙💙💜


Real quick, the Chakras reflect developmental stages in our life and the types of associations and perceptions that are made during those foundational stages. They also represent energy centers (or vortices) at specific points within the body.


Our chakras can be in balance, or out of balance, in either an excessive way, a deficient way, or sometimes a little bit of both. These types of imbalances will show up as symptoms, and are often created in response to experiences in our life.
