BASE CHAKRA -Muladhara

 Chakra 1

Muladhara or root chakra is related to instinct, security, survival and also to basic human potentiality. This centre is located in the region between the genitals and the anus at the base of spine. It is said to relate to the gonads and the adrenal medulla, responsible for the fight and flight response when survival is under threat. Muladhara is symbolised by a deep red lotus with four petals and the colour red. It is involved in sexuality, lust and obsession. Physically, Muladhara governs sexuality, mentally it governs stability, emotionally it governs sensuality, and spiritually it governs a sense of security. Mooladhara is called the root center because it is the seat or dwelling place of primal energy, kundalini shakti.
