The base chakra is all about survival, instincts and stability. It is the chakra that connects us to the earth and governs our ability to be grounded, to be present in the here and now. It is an important chakra because it connects you to everything: Mother Nature, your family, your community and your tribe. It is your main power station and is linked to your physical endurance and vitality. Because it runs on instincts and survival, the base chakra nurtures your most basic needs and desires—first and foremost, the desire to live.

Location of the Chakra in the Body: In between the navel and the top of the pubic bone.
The sacral chakra is the passion centre of the body and mind. As its Sanskrit name suggests, Svadhisthana is the 'sacred home of the self'. This is where our sensuality, sexuality, creativity and expression lie. This chakra is associated with emotions, feelings, states of desire and imagination. Our emotional body is directly linked to the sacral chakra and how we relate to others and ourselves in relationships. It governs the sexual organs and reproductive system, it's our procreation centre and it governs how we express ourselves to the world.

Third eye chakra is responsible for what we refer to as the sixth sense: our intuition. It is the gateway to connecting the conscious and unconscious minds. The third eye is about observation within our internal intuitions. It allows us to develop a sharp sense and receive non-verbal messages that might come from our present, past or future. It is the centre to seeing beyond the illusions of stories and into a deeper part of who we are and what we are experiencing.

Location of the Chakra in the Body: At the very crown of your head.
The crown chakra acts as a doorway to the universal energy, a higher power or God. It doesn't matter what label we put on this part of life. It's all the same energy wrapped up in different ways. The crown chakra is like a telephone line to this energy. It's the gateway that allows this divine energy to enter your mind, body and spirit. It is the highest and purest part of who you are, a spiritual connection of knowingness and awareness. It goes beyond the physical and mental parts of who you are and delves directly into spirituality. This source energy reminds us that we are all one.
