General Info- The root chakra is related to the Earth, stability, vitality, survival instincts, a sense of grounding, and a connection to our physical bodies. The Root Chakra is the foundation of the physical structure of the body. The word Muladhara is composed of two Sanskrit words: "mula" meaning “root” and "adhara" which means “base” or “support”. Balancing it creates a solid foundation for opening all the other six chakras, promoting stability, confidence, energy, and strength.

Location- Located at the base of the spine, at the perineum. Its location signifies its role as a link between the physical world and our internal energetic system.

Balanced- When this energy center is balanced, we feel grounded, stable, confident, and strong in the world.

Unbalanced- can lead to feelings of insecurity, anxiety, stress, and a loss of personal bearings.
