The base chakra is the first of the seven major chakras of the body and its energy governs sexuality and the desire to survive.
It is located at the base of the spine and has strong links with your feelings, and with pleasure and pain.
This is the area of the etheric body where your ambitions, interest in life and sex drive originates.
This chakra is all about the physical aspects of life and physicality. This chakra is associated with feeling comfortable sexually as well as with your ability to feel grounded.
