Your First Chakra Healthy or Blocked?
Someone with a healthy first chakra will usually have a basic sense of security and safety in the world. They will be well- grounded, with “common sense.” The practical side of their life will usually function fairly smoothly. They will have a sense of having (or being able to get) enough material resources to meet their needs. They will likely be fairly at ease with their own body. Often, though not always, they will have a relatively healthy physical body, with healthy bones, feet, legs, colon and adrenal glands. Their bowels will function well, and their weight will be in a healthy range.
If the first chakra is blocked, a person may feel overly fearful about security and survival. Perhaps they experience extreme anxiety, or panic attacks. They may be ungrounded, flighty, fearful, and have a feeling of not really belonging anywhere. They may have a weak physical constitution, and problems with their bones, feet, legs, colon, elimination, or weight. They may lack common sense, and be unable to “settle.” They may be unable to hold down a job, or may move often. Sometimes an unhealthy first chakra will manifest in the opposite way, with a person being overly practical, plodding, a creature of habit, unable to dream or imagine.
