The Root Chakra--The Foundation for Life

What is the Root (Muladhara) Chakra?

The Root chakra is exactly what it sounds like, the base of everything in your body; flesh, bones, and skin.

Muladhara is the Sanskrit word for the root chakra, and is comprised of two words.

'Mula', meaning root, and 'dhara', meaning base, or support.

The color red is the color associated with the root chakra.

Chakras get their color representation from the elements and surroundings.

Red is for the element of the earth and is related to primal instinct, stability, and vitality.

The root chakra is the first chakra in the energetic body, located at the base of the spine.

Heal. in Altamonte Springs can teach you about your chakras, help when they are blocked, and show you how to get them aligned and balanced.

When your root chakra is balanced you feel strong during times of adversity. A balanced root chakra is responsible for feeling grounded and secure. The Muladhara chakra has a strong link to the survival instinct. When balanced and strong, the energetic feeling is, you are capable of anything. You hold confidence in your abilities, and bring positivity to all areas of your life.

Positive associations of having a balanced Root Chakra:

• Security and stability

• Holding a feeling of belonging

• Having focus and clarity

• Displaying a vitality for life

• Showing up for yourself and others

An unbalanced root chakra may cause mental disarray, and can present as other symptoms in the physical body.

Physical symptoms that can arise due to a blocked root chakra are:

• Problems in the feet or legs

• A feeling of overall lethargy

• Gastrointestinal problems, such as digestion issues

• Anxiety

• Reproductive issues (in both men and women)

• Sleep disturbances (sleeping too little or too much)

The root chakra is the body's "survival center", it is super important to balance and center this foundation. The "fight or flight" response can be activated when this chakra is unstable, and there are methods to restore it's circulatory center to function with ease.

What you can do to balance the Muladhara (root) chakra are:

• Grounding--get your bare feet in the grass. Aim for 5 minutes, and work up from there.

• Practice yoga--poses such as shavasana, child's pose, forward fold, or tree pose.

Engage your senses--

• What do you see? look in wonder at the world around you, the trees, the sky, a butterfly flying past.
