Opinions differ as to how many


chakras exist. It is generally accepted that there are at least seven major chakras. Te first one is the Root chakra. It is located at the base of the spine.


The Root


chakra (also called Muladhara or Pitti kalam) is the symbol of an elephant which is known as


“abundant in strength.” The physical functions of the Root


chakra are linked to the body, bones and overall vitality. The psychological functions are stability, security and survival instincts. When the Root chakra is overactive, one can suffer from hyperactivity, intolerance, and rigidity. When it is underactive, poor health with slow recovery and lack of focus occur. One may feel they are “just not enough.” The gland associated is the adrenal gland which initiates a fight or flight response.


The color


associated with it is red. Wearing and surrounding yourself in red helps to restore balance.


A yoga pose


recommended is the Chair Pose (Utkatasana). There is no better way to directly open it than with the


practice of this pose. This powerful pose, where the root takes the weight of the entire spine and the hips, enables a direct opening of the muscles around the lower part of the spine.


To open the


Root chakra, try infusing earthy essential oils or burning incense or candles like sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli, rosemary, and cinnamon.


For food, think


red! Apples, beets, tomatoes, strawberries.


The crystals


are red tiger eye, ruby, garnet, red jasper, hematite.


Mantra


examples are “I love my body, and it is my temple” and “I am rooted in the present moment.”


Root chakra health is the building block to a grounded life.
