Muladhara, the earth chakra, finding roots

🍑 Muladhara, the base chakra, represents the earth, the denset of the five elements that make up our life.

🍑All living things need strong foundations. They cannot survive otherwise. Trees must have firm roots or they will fall in a storm. Humans need a solid base in order to take the first steps toward higher consciousness.

🍑 Our origin, our identity, and our heritage are all seeds planted into Muladhara chakra. It is your source of power, when it is out of balance, this affects every thing related to your personal stability and security. This energy center controls how you deal with money, your body, and your family: your roots.

🍑 This energy center physical locations at the base of the spine between the public bone, tail bone and sitting bones(pelvic floor).

🍑 Proper standing is the starting place for balancing Muladhara. Yoga asanas helps to bring the inner and outer muscles of your legs work together to bring your ankles, knees, and hips in line, your pelvis comes into a neutral position, your spine lengthens, and your head floats comfortably on top of your shoulder girdle.

🍑 Practicing of standing poses are very important for balancing Muladhara chakra, because they safely develop the strength of the legs and promote a strong foundation.

🍑Mountain pose (Tadasana), is the foundation for the correct postural alignment. Virabhadrasana, Viparita Karani are other useful poses to strengthen this energy center.
