Hi K,

I have to disagree with Peter on his descriptions of the Chakras.  The chakras are there, they are part of us, and they cannot in themselves be negative.  They are spinning wheels that co-relate to each other as energy passes through the crown chakra at its highest vibration, becoming slower with each successive chakra, the root chakra being the lowest vibration.

The base chakra (root) is about belonging.  Belonging with your family (roots) or belonging on Earth (gravity).  It covers the density of our bodies – teeth, nails, bones.  People who aren’t grounded (earthed)  i.e. root chakra out of balance are “all over the place”.  This resonates to the color red.

The second chakra is the creative chakra – it is about creating life, or creating what we want in our life.  By it’s nature, it covers sexuality and the water (flowing) element.  This resonates to the color orange.

I hope this helps.
