Muladhara chakra

muladhara chakra ("root chakra"). One of the main chakras of the subtle body, located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae.

It is also said to be the base of the central channel.

The word muladhara breaks down into two Sanskrit words:

• mula meaning “root” and
• adhara, which means “support” or “base.”

The root chakra is said to be associated with a sense of safety and security.
