Imbalanced root chakra functioning
If root chakra is unbalanced thoughts and actions primarily revolve around material possessions and security, or sensual indulgences and thrills, such as good food, alcohol sex, etc.
The person who has an unbalanced root chakra try to make whatever they desire their own without considering the consequences.
They are normally constipated or overweighted.
Their actions revolve primarily around satisfying their own personal needs and they unconsciously overlook or ignore the needs of others as well as their own body and fitness.
In the extreme, they adhere to certain attitudes and lusts of which you cannot rid yourself. If your fixations are challenged by people or aggressive. Violent enforcement of their will and principles if another manifestation of a disturbed root chakra.
Rage, anger and violence are only defense mechanisms which indicate a lack of primordial trust. Behind this, there is always a fear of losing something which provides you with security and feeling of well-being or of not gaining it in the first place.
For them, the earth is a place to be dominated and exploited under the pretext of securing the survival of mankind. Therefore the present-day exploitation of natural resources and the destruction of the earth's natural balance are symptomatic of the disturbed functioning of the root chakra in the majority of the world's population.
Insufficient functioning of the root chakra
If the person's root chakra is blocked or closed, their physical constitution tends to be weak and they lack physical and emotional stamina.
A lot of things in life worry them and they are only too familiar with feelings of uncertainty.
If their higher chakras have been developed to the detriment of the lower ones, the feeling that they don't really belong on the earth indicates a state of insufficiency in their root chakra.
