Your first chakra contains information about being secure, stable, protected, and grounded.

Located against your spine at the tailbone, this is also the chakra you create grounding from. Having permission to ground yourself gives you the freedom to be who you are, live how you want to live, have health on every level of being, and feel like you belong, no matter where on earth you are.

This information is extremely important, because in order to create your life, you need to feel secure and safe enough to do so. It’s hard to grow and change if you are constantly feeling unsafe – you’ll have a difficult time taking chances, trying new things, and having your other abilities on and working for you.

It is the first chakra part of you that makes it possible for you to be safe enough to turn on your psychic abilities as well. It’s easier to be psychic and turn on those sensitive higher parts of yourself if your body feels safe and comfortable. If you don’t have access to your own 1st chakra, your abilities may be difficult for you to have for your own use. You might find it hard to control them – for example, many people are very psychic but are frightened of being so because it feels out of control to them. If you can ground yourself, it’s easier to let go of that fear and enjoy your own energy.

When the information in your first chakra is yours, it’s much easier to create your life your way. If you’ve got information in your first chakra that doesn’t belong to you, you may find it difficult and frustrating to manifest what you want, or to feel good in your own body. You might pick up other people’s fears, unconsciousness, or pain and without meaning to, carry it around in your first chakra. Grounding can help you to release those energies that aren’t yours, making it easier to have more of what is.

Your first chakra helps you to create the grounding in your life: shelter, food, career/job, finances, and so on. If you’ve had difficulty creating comfortably on this level, it’s not because your first chakra is flawed. You may be holding onto some energies that have gotten in the way of you accessing your own abilities. By learning more about your own energy, you can begin to release those energies that aren’t yours, and start to have your first chakra working well for you.

Chakras are energy centers contained within you as part of your energy system.

You have seven main chakras lined up along your spine, from the tailbone up to the top of your head. Each of these chakras contains information about your abilities. Each is tied in with various organs and parts of the body as well. You also have chakras in the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands.

When your chakras are healthy and you are able to access the information contained within them, they are in movement, spinning. It is when they are in movement that you can use them. Your chakras open and close, and it’s important to note that you don’t need them wide open in order to access them. Walking around with your chakras open up all the way can feel very uncomfortable and get in your way by making you too wide open to all of the information coming at you. This can result in feeling blocked again as some of that energy sticks to you.

Chakras are important because they are doorways to you, and to your information. When you find yourself stuck or unable to access important abilities, the chakra associated with whatever you’re trying to have for yourself is very likely affected in some way – stuck or blocked, or perhaps someone else’s energy has gotten caught in your ability to have what it is you want.

When you move the energy out of your way that isn’t you is when you’re able to access the information you need to be safe, feel your emotions, have enough energy, love, communicate, see clearly, and know for yourself. By working with your chakras and energy system, you’re able to learn more about yourself and to grow and heal.

Here’s a basic description of each chakra’s location and abilities:

1st Chakra, at the tailbone/base of your spine – Your ability to be safe, stable, and grounded. Your right to be here.
2nd Chakra, below the navel – Clairsentience, the ability to feel energy clearly. Your emotional center.
3rd Chakra, in the solar plexus – Your energy center, and ability to act. Astral/dreams.
4th Chakra, center of chest – Affinity, Love, Self Image. The bridge between body and spirit.
5th Chakra, throat – Communication, Clairaudience, Expression, Inner Voice, Telepathy.
6th Chakra, pineal gland, center of head – Clairvoyance, Vision, Clear Seeing, Non-judgment.
7th Chakra, top of the head – Crown Chakra, Knowingness, Spirit, Mediumship, Your Own Truth.
