Base Chakra

 
















TO BE HERE

In Sanskrit, the base chakra is called Muladhara, which means root.  

The seed of this chakra is located at the base of the spine and the coccygeal plexus, which is a nerve plexus near the coccyx bone.  Energetically, it includes the legs and the feet.

The main focus of this centre is survival, self preservation and the basic right to be here and take up space.  A heathy base chakra provides grounding, stability, physical health, prosperity and trust in life.



The element is EARTH.

To be in harmony here we need to be in our bodies and take care of them with good food, exercise and proper rest.

The characteristics of excess in this chakra include heaviness, sluggishness, monotony, obesity, hoarding, materialism and greed.

Deficiencies include fearfulness, lack of discipline, restlessness, underweight and spaciness.



The demon of the base chakra is FEAR.

Fear can create a sense of lack, invent threats, destabilize us mentally and emotionally.

Spiritual challenges include not having enough, lack of financial or home security, having an unstable approach to life, and feeling attacked.
