base Chakra – Muladhara

The Base Chakra, or Muladhara, is the first of the seven main chakras and forms the foundation of your energy system. It is your connection to the earth and your basic sense of security – physical, emotional, and material.

Location & Colour

The Base Chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with the colour red, radiating grounding, stabilising energy.

Life Themes

• Safety and security

• Physical health and vitality

• Basic needs and survival

• Grounding and connection to the earth

Signs of Imbalance

When the Base Chakra is blocked or out of balance, you may feel:

• Anxiety, fear, or restlessness

• Difficulty feeling grounded or secure

• Low energy or fatigue

• Physical issues in the legs, feet, or lower back

Ways to Heal and Balance the Base Chakra

• EMK (Emotions & Metaphysical Kinesiology): Explore emotional blocks related to security, safety, or trust.

• Grounding Practices: Walk barefoot on the earth, connect with nature, or use mindful breathing to anchor yourself.

• Colour & Energy Work: Surround yourself with red energy or wear red clothing to stimulate grounding.

• Movement & Strength: Gentle yoga or core-strengthening exercises support physical and energetic stability.

The BaseChakra reminds us that a strong foundation is essential for growth. By nurturing this energy centre, you cultivate a sense of safety, resilience, and stability in all areas of life.
