THE BASE CHAKRA (Muladhara)
This is located at the coccyx at the base of the spine and it is usually called the root or base centre. Its associated element is earth and it corresponds to the sense of smell, physical energy and vitality. You can imagine the root centre as your grounding or primary energy source. This is the centre we can turn to if we need physical strength. The colour for this centre is red.
Also here sleeps the magic serpent known as the kundalini. It lies coiled at the base of the spine and symbolises the basic evolutionary life force. Once awakened it will rise through the spine to the crown of the head and may trigger enlightenment in the practitioner of these methods.
