This chakra is located at the base of the spine, it is theseat of kundalini, rolled up on itself, tel  a snake.

​

Thephysical survivalis the primary concern of those whoseenergy is centered on the root chakra. The  fear of being physically or psychologically hurt can invade their thoughts or they will have  a tendency to hurt others. 

If this chakra lacks energy,there is a risk of becoming apathetic, of lacking willpower, of self-confidence,  of feeling in danger, anxious and worried. 

in humans, the base chakra or 1st chakra rotates to the right, more actively expressing the sense of conquest and dominance in the material and sexual sphere.

On the contrary, in women, the base chakra turns to the left, making her more sensitive to the invigorating and life-generating force of the earth.
