Root Chakra
Muladhara · Base of the spine
The root chakra, Muladhara, sits at the base of the spine and is the foundation of the whole chakra system. As the first chakra, it governs your sense of safety, stability and belonging — the ground you stand on, literally and emotionally.
Wofür es steht
The root chakra is read as the centre of grounding, safety and survival — your basic needs, your security, and your relationship with the physical world. When it is steady, you feel safe, settled and able to stand your ground; it is the anchor that everything above it is built on.
Wenn es ausgeglichen ist
When the root chakra is balanced you feel grounded, secure and present — calm in your body, steady under stress, and confident that your basic needs are met. You trust the ground beneath you and meet life from a stable base.
Wenn es blockiert ist
A blocked root chakra is said to show up as anxiety, restlessness, a constant sense of insecurity, or feeling ungrounded and disconnected from your body. Fear about money, safety or survival can dominate when this foundation is shaky.
