The Root Chakra - Muladhara

Mula = Root        Hara = Support

This chakra is located at the base of the spine and is the foundation for all the chakras located above it. It controls our feelings of stability and security in life and enables us to meet basic survival needs as well as emotional needs. When imbalanced you may experience issues with the feet and knees, digestion problems, sciatica, anxiety, fear of abandonement and fears related to survival.

How can you balance this chakra? Connect with Nature: Take a walk barefoot, sit on the grass, lay in a hammock in the woods. Get a foot massage!
