Muladhara, also known as the root chakra, is located at the base of the spine and is responsible for the connection with the Earth, physical survival, self-preservation instinct and immunity.
It is the first energy center through which the Earth’s energy enters the body, which then moves up through the other chakras.
Muladhara is associated with the bones, teeth, legs, prostate (in men) and uterus (in women).
Opening and harmonizing this chakra helps to strengthen physical health, increase energy and self-confidence, as well as develop a connection with nature and your inner world.
