The Root Chakra is the 1st chakra in the 7 major chakra system. The chakric form is usually depicted with 4 petals and its colour frequency is Red. Focusing on this mandala will balance the frequency of the Root chakra, making us feel grounded, safe and secure and connected to the earth. | |||||||

The Sanskrit term for the Root chakra, Muladhara, means "root" (mula), and "support/base" (adhara). It sits at the base of the spine, and is connected to the blood and the bones, the foundations of the physical body. The Kundalini, the serpentine form of the vital life force that runs through the chakric system when fully activated, is rooted to us at this energy point. The Root chakra grounds us to the physical plane and keeps us focused on issues of survival, and keeps the body strong and vital. The urge to procreate emanates form this centre, and the glands that sre connected to it are the testes. |

When the Root is balanced, we feel vital and alive, strong and able to support ourselves. Overactivity of this chakra can make us feel aggressive and bogged-down in literal interpretations and perceptions of reality. An underactive root chakra causes feeling of inadequacy, disillusionment, depression and causes people to feel ungrounded and unsafe.
