Root Chakra (Muladhara)

🔴 Root Chakra: Your Energetic Foundation (a.k.a. The “Get Your Life Together” Chakra)

Welcome to the base of your energetic pyramid — the Root Chakra, also known as Muladhara. This powerhouse sits at the base of your spine and is responsible for all things survival, stability, and sanity.

When it’s in balance, you feel grounded, safe, secure, and (bonus!) slightly less likely to spiral when someone eats your leftovers. When it’s out of whack? Hello anxiety, restlessness, and feeling like you’re floating through life with no pants on — metaphorically, of course.

This chakra is your cosmic plug into Earth energy — your spiritual WiFi router for staying present, steady, and embodied in your human experience (even on Mondays).
