root chakra

Grounding energy point

Root chakra is the first of seven energy centers in Hindu and Buddhist spiritual traditions, located at the base of the spine.

It governs feelings of safety, security, and basic survival needs.

When practitioners say their root chakra is blocked or unbalanced, they mean they feel ungrounded or anxious: Yoga helped me open my root chakra.

Also called muladhara.
