Muladhara translated from Sanskrit into English is root. You will find the energy of this chakra dominated in the coccyx, base of spine, feet, and legs. When one is meditating on this chakra, one should think of the color red and vibrational sound of LAM and all the elements encompassing the qualities of Earth. The issues that can arise have to do with survival, fear, stability, and self-sufficiency. When one is balanced in this chakra, they will be loyal, patient, determined, tolerant, steadfast, dependable, and secure. The earth provides our souls with an abundance of nourishment and protection; feel the vibration of the earth below and know that she is protecting you and keeping you safe. When possible walk barefoot on the earth (grass, dirt, sand, etc.), it is the best way to start grounding yourself and balancing this chakra. Don’t forget to send your gratitude to the Earth below for providing us with this abundance and protection. When one is excessive in this chakra, they can become fearful (especially for their safety and security), hoard, dogmatic, inflexible, and/or stubborn. When one is deficient in this chakra, they can experience homelessness, anorexia, restlessness, accident-prone, and/or lack discipline.
