Muladhara (Red / Lam)

We'll begin with the base or root chakra

Rest comfortably with your eyes closed

Allow your awareness to move into the first chakra

At the base of your spine

The Sanskrit word for this energy center is Muladhara

Which means foundation or root

As you bring your attention into this area, visualize the color red

This chakra relates to your core survival needs

For food, water and safety

It is the energy center closet to the earth

And when open, supports your sense of being grounded and connected

It is associated with the sense of smell

Breathe in the color of deep red

Bringing the vital life force into every cell of your body

Make peace with uncertainty

Trusting that mother earth is supporting you

The opening of this chakra brings confidence

In your ability to fulfil your deepest needs and desires

Associated with your spine, adrenal glands, kidneys and lower digestive tract

Clarity in this energy center

Ensures good health in these core supportive structures

The sound of this base chakra is Lam, Lam, Lam

Relax, breathe in, and silently repeat the mantra, Lam
