Part 3/8:
Each chakra corresponds to specific body parts and governs various aspects of our being. The importance of recognizing and attending to these energetic centers becomes evident as Gomes walks us through each of the seven main chakras, illustrating how they affect physical and emotional health.
The Seven Main Chakras
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara)
Located at the base of the spine and represented by the color red, the root chakra is foundational to spiritual awakening. It is associated with the adrenal glands, playing a critical role in regulating stress. A balanced root chakra fosters feelings of security, abundance, and a strong connection to the earth. Disturbances in this chakra may lead to anxiety, emotional eating, and issues related to survival instincts.
