root chakra
The root chakra, also known as the Muladhara, is the first of the seven main energy centers in the body according to yogic and spiritual traditions. Located at the base of the spine, it is associated with feelings of safety, stability, and grounding. The root chakra is often linked to basic survival needs, such as food, shelter, and security.
When the root chakra is balanced, individuals may feel secure and confident in their environment. However, if it is blocked or unbalanced, one might experience anxiety, fear, or instability. Practices like meditation, yoga, and breathwork can help in balancing this energy center.
