Welcome to the beginning of your chakra journey, where transformation starts from the ground up. The Root Chakra, or Muladhara, is your energetic foundation—governing survival, stability, and the primal power of presence.
If you’re feeling scattered, fearful, or disconnected from your body, this is where your healing begins.
🔻 What Is the Root Chakra?
Muladhara means root support in Sanskrit. Located at the base of your spine, this chakra anchors you into the physical world and your physical body.
✨ The Root Chakra Governs:
- Safety & survival instincts
- Financial security & home life
- Physical health & vitality
- Tribal identity & ancestral energy
This is your energetic anchor. When open and aligned, you feel secure, grounded, and unshakably present.
⚖️ Signs Your Root Chakra Is Balanced
When Muladhara is in harmony, you feel:
✅ Secure and safe in your environment
✅ Grounded and present in your body
✅ Confident and stable in your path
✅ Trusting in life and your ability to receive
✅ Energized, focused, and resilient
🛑 Signs of a Blocked Root Chakra
🕳️ Underactive Root Chakra:
- Chronic fear or anxiety
- Disconnection from the body
- Scarcity mindset
- Fatigue or low energy
- Difficulty focusing or committing
🔥 Overactive Root Chakra:
- Obsession with control or materialism
- Rage or aggression
- Resistance to change
- Hoarding, greed, or paranoia
Imbalances here often reflect ancestral trauma, childhood instability, or emotional neglect.
