Muladhara: How to Rebalance Your Root Chakra for Safety, Stability & Strength

Sep 7, 2019

Practical grounding rituals rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom to restore safety, steadiness, and strength at your energetic foundation.

Located at the base of the spine, associated with the color deep red, this chakra guides your stability and your connection to the physical world.

What Happens When Muladhara Is Out of Balance

Blockages in the root chakra often arise from:

Family discord, financial insecurity, feeling disconnected, or social isolation

These can manifest as physical issues such as:

Bladder or kidney discomfort, constipation, or lower back pain
Heaviness in the legs, frequent fatigue, or general body weakness

Emotionally, you might feel:

Restlessness and impatience
Chronic worry or insecurity
Oversensitivity to material loss or withdrawal

3 Simple Practices to Ground & Restore Your Root Chakra

1. Reconnect with Nature

Ground your energy by walking barefoot, sitting under trees, or simply observing a natural space. Aim for at least 30 minutes outdoors—even a small park suffices.

2. Unplug & Settle

Turn off screens at least one hour a day. Create a quiet moment—practice gentle yoga (Child’s Pose, Savasana), take a warm bath, or meditate in silence—even if just 5 minutes of intentional breathing helps.

3. Aroma + Mantra Ritual

Aromatic Support:
Essential oils like Frankincense, Cedarwood, and Patchouli offer calming, grounding support. Use them carefully—two or three drops on your lower spine, under your nose, or at your pulse points, ensuring you’re not sensitive to them.

Mantra for Muladhara:
Repeat several times throughout your day:

“I am safe. I am strong. I am supported. I am grounded.”

Allow these words to anchor you inward—into a zone of peace that quietly holds your presence.

Why This Matters (Especially for Women)

During menopause, adrenal glands compensate for declining estrogen and progesterone. Supporting your root chakra helps stabilize these foundational energies—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—making transitions smoother and more graceful.
