IN THIS LESSON

Ground into your foundation of safety, stability, and trust.

The Base Chakra, or Muladhara, is also known as the Root. It is the first of the 7 major chakras and associated with the element of earth, symbolizing the densest grade of manifestation and the basis of life. This chakra channels earth energy upward through the feet and legs to stabilize and nourish the body. When grounded, we come into resonance with the Earth’s electromagnetic frequency and feel secure and supported.

Deep Dive:
Muladhara means “the support of the root” — the foundation of your energy body. It relates to instinctual needs like food, shelter, and safety. Childhood experiences, ancestral conditioning, and karmic lessons can all leave imprints here. When blocked, we may feel fearful, unstable, or disconnected. When balanced, we trust life, feel safe in our body, and stand firm in our power.
