Muladhara Chakra

Muladhara or Root Chakra: Anchoring Your Root for Stability and Balance.

The first chakra, called Muladhara, is located at the base of the spine. “Muladhara” means root.

1st Chakra’s Natural Element: Earth

Muladhara associates with the earth element and directly influences your ability to firmly root yourself in life.

Life Motif of the Root Chakra

This energy center aptly associates with your root issues, including your sense of security, meeting basic needs, family relationships, and feeling at home in your body and on this planet.

Physical Signs of Blocked Muladhara Energy

When misaligned, Muladhara can cause weight gain (or loss), depression, anxiety, constipation, pelvic pain, and incontinence.

Mental Signs of Blocked Muladhara Energy

When the root chakra is out of alignment, you may find yourself busily bouncing from one thing to the next in a rush without appropriate attention or intention. This can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, and stress. An imbalance in it can lead to feelings of lethargy, being stuck, inability to take action, and difficulty manifesting intentions.

Energetic Benefits of Aligning the Root Chakra

When the first chakra is in healthy alignment, you will be able to tap into its graceful stability to support a calm and steady energy.
