\u00a0How do they feel? \u00a0Your ankles, knees, and hips move you forward in this world. \u00a0They keep you balanced. \u00a0Stability is important for the first Chakra. \u00a0Pain, tightness, restricted movement, and inflexibility are strong indicators of a need to balance the first Chakra.<\/p>\n<p>Physically, \u00a0the \u00a0first Chakra governs 3 systems:<\/p>\n<p>Immune System<\/p>\n<p>Skeletal System<\/p>\n<p>Lower Digestive Tract.<\/p>\n<p>When you work with your client partner&#8217;s first chakra, you offer an opportunity for increased self awareness. \u00a0What a gift you give!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading this blog\/book.<\/p>\n<p>Please refer this article to your preferred social media network.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to join the email list.<\/p>\n<p>Photos provided by Renee Ruwee<\/p>\n<p>Thurman Greco<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; All 7 of the major Chakras are reflected in our feet. \u00a0They line up on the spine and they relate to energy centers found on the body. \u00a0The first Chakra is found at the base of the spine.
