Your base chakra is located at the base of your spine and extends out behind you. This chakra is like the foundation of a house, it needs to be strong to help you feel steady and safe. Weakness in the base can manifest as a drop in income, depression, and pain. Here are 7 ways you can give your base a boost!

1. Exercise – the base chakra is about physical well being and in particular the musculoskeletal system, keep your body healthy through exercise to keep this chakra strong and energised.
