1. ROOT OR BASE CHAKRA –
MOOLADARA
CHAKRA
The Mooladhara Chakra is located
between the anus and the genitals at the base of the spine. It emits a red
colour and is associated with the element earth.
The Mooladhara chakra is defined by
the emotions of existence, strength, goal and self-support. When this chakra
loses it’s balance, a person may get the feelings of instability, lack of
justification, lack of ambition, lack of purpose, fear, insecurity and
frustration. A person is looking stable, with confidence, balanced thinking, high
energy, and strong and independent in nature; his Mooladhara Chakra is in good
working condition.

The three main
psychic channels, or nadis, originate in the mooladhara chakra and travel up
the spinal cord.
i. SUSHUMNA is in
the middle
ii. IDA is to the
left and
iii. PINGALA is to
the right.
Hatha
yoga practises purify and balance the Prana between the Ida and Pingala
chakras, allowing kundalini to rise up the sushumna nadi to the sahasrara
chakra when it wakes.
