THE CHAKRAS, ENERGY CENTRES - Muladhara

The Root Chakra (Muladhara) sits at the base of the spine and is the foundation of your entire energetic system. Linked to the colour red and the earth element, it governs your sense of safety, stability, and your ability to function in the physical world.

When Muladhara is strong, you feel grounded, secure, and present. Your energy is steady, your basic needs feel supported, and you move through life with confidence and clarity.

When it’s weak or imbalanced, everything feels shaky. Anxiety rises, motivation drops, and you may feel disconnected from your body—tired, unrooted, or unsure of your next step.

Balancing the root chakra brings you back into your body and back into your life.

Moon/Mind-style practices, gentle activation of Mula Bandha at the end of the exhale, and reconnecting with nature—barefoot walking, gardening, or simply sitting on the earth—strengthen this foundational centre.

Muladhara is your energetic anchor.

Strengthen it, and you strengthen everything else.
