The 7 Chakras are energy centers that decide health and well-being by distributing the 5 Pranas in your body. Their movement starts from the crown of the head and travels down to the spinal base to spread the flow of energy throughout the body.
When any of the chakras is inactive, the flow of energy in your body may become restricted and may lead to depression, anxiety, loneliness, etc. Their importance has also been mentioned in the Vedas.
Let’s know What is the Root chakra, its functions, the causes of imbalance, check Chakra imbalance with the aura scanner machine, and how to treat it.
What is the Root Chakra/Muladhara Chakra?
The Root Chakra also known as Muladhara Chakra in Sanskrit, maintains energy levels in the body. It is located at the base of the spine or between the perineum and lower spine.
Its color is red.
Element is earth.
What Does the Muladhara Chakra Do?
The Muladhara Chakra is related to the Earth element and makes you feel grounded, It develops in the first 1-7 years of life and is influenced by your guardians who support your basic needs.
If you are provided with food, water, love, and affection, you develop a feeling of security for yourself. Similarly, when things are reversed, you lack a sense of security and trust due to the root Chakra imbalance.
The Muladhara term is made of ‘Mula’ which means root and ‘Adhara’, which means support. Thus, Muladhara Chakra is like a tree foundation. Its solid foundation helps it survive in the long run and similarly, a solid Muladhara chakra helps maintain the other Chakras too.
The dormant Kundalini Shakti (the ultimate life force energy) rests at the Muladhara chakra. As this energy ascends from the root chakra through the other 6 chakras, it broadens awareness, manifesting as enthusiasm in this energy center.
Root Chakra Mantra
The Muladhara Chakra Beej Mantra is Langm (लं). When this Mantra is chanted during Yoga and meditation, it activates the Mooladhara Chakra and bring balance to the entire Chakra system in our body.
Benefits of a Balanced Muladhara Chakra
When the Mooladhara Chakra is balanced, it allows a good and free flow of energy through our body and connects us to the earth’s energy and our environment. We feel more connected to our loved ones and the environment. A person with an active Mooladhara Chakra always has these thoughts- I am safe, I am home, I am centered, and I am grounded.
