The chakras are wheels of light that spin in the human aura at various positions along the physical body. The chakras take in energy from the environment and from the Divine and filter it into your mental, emotional, and physical energy bodies. (See articles on Auras for more info).
Each chakra is responsible for filtering energy in a different way that facilitates growth, well-being, and stability. The chart below contains an overview of chakras, the colors that are associated with each in meditation, and their basic functions.

1st Chakra
Root
| The first chakra, or root is a funnel of light that opens downward from the tailbone, or base of the spine. The root chakra grounds us (like a lightning rod) so emotionally and spiritually charged energies can run through us safely and into the ground.
If you are an empathic person visualize this chakra spinning frequently because you need to make sure that the emotions you pick up from others run safely out of your system.
The root chakra is associated with the adrenal glands and the immune system, kidneys, and spinal column.
