Root Chakra -
Main support of the body

मूलाधार चक्र

This lies at the base of the spine near the anus facing downward. This Chakra processes the energy in the aura and provides Prutivitattva (earth element) to the body. All the hard things in nature are primarily made up of Pruthvitattva. It imparts specific shape to any object. It plays a major role in the hard parts of the body such as bones, joints, ligaments, skin, hair, teeth, cartilages, and the covering of cells and vessels, and nerves.

Muladhar Chakra provides support to the body. It is represented by red colour. Steadiness is its subtle quality. The efficiency of the body and mind is dependent upon this Chakra. It controls the important bodily functions of immunity, development of new cells, excretion of unwanted material, and production of blood and maintaining its quality. All actions done by a person get stored here in the form of impressions. A person’s independent personality, ability to express oneself, and the attributes of courage and forgiveness emerge out of the powers residing here. A person whose Muladhar Chakra functions efficiently is normally a good decision maker, strong and stout, and displays pragmatic behaviour. When problems arise in the functioning of this Chakra, the body becomes deficient in Pruthvitattva. This leads to brittle bones, erosion of bones, weakening of muscles and vessels, lack of self-confidence and depression. If the Muladhar Chakra becomes hyperactive it leads to problems such as hardening of bones or joints, stiffening of vessels, abnormal growth in bones, excessive confidence and impractical behaviour.

Meditation - Root Chakra

All grains (such as wheat, rice and pulses), all underground tubers (such as carrot and potato), and fleshy and sweet fruits provide Pruthvitattva to the body. Exercises such as squats and half-squats can help in strengthening the Muladhar Chakra.

Defects in the executive of the Muladhara Chakra

All actions done by a person get stored here in the form of impressions. A person’s independent personality, identification with oneself and one’s ego emerges out of here. The powers residing here enable a person to express oneself, and gain the attributes of courage and forgiveness.

A person whose Muladhar Chakra functions efficiently, is a good decision maker and displays pragmatic behaviour. All the dense and hard parts of the body such as bones, flesh, Nadis and Rom are controlled by Pruthvitatva. Muladhar Chakra controls the important function of creating new blood and maintaining its quality. This Chakra also manages the adrenal gland located above the kidneys.

When problems arise in the functioning of this Chakra, the very support of the body collapses leading to ailments such as pain in the back, waist and knees, joint pain, arthritis, rheumatism, muscle contraction, sciatica, joint dislocation, backaches, spondylitis, shoulder pain, slip disc, bamboo spine, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, heel ache, weakness, kidney disease, stunted growth, low immunity and blood cancer.

Problems here can also lead to mental issues such as depression, suicidal tendencies, unsteady behavior, lack of decision making power, insomnia, inability to execute things and impractical behavior.
