Muladhara (Root Chakra)

Welcome to Trinetram.

For Financial Stability and Good Health

The Muladhara Chakra, also known as the Root Chakra, forms the foundation of the chakra system. Located at the base of the spine (in between anus and genitalia), it represents our physical identity, security, and survival instincts. Balancing this chakra fosters financial stability, good health, and a grounded sense of being.

Ancient Scriptural References

The importance of the Muladhara Chakra is rooted in ancient Indian scriptures. The Shiva Samhita emphasizes the role of this chakra as the foundation of spiritual practice:

As cited in Shiva Samhita, ( Chapter 5, Verse 7) “धरणीधरः स्थिरो मूलं।” (Dharaṇīdharaḥ Sthiro Mūlaṁ) Means, “Grounded like the Earth, the root is steadfast.”

In yogic traditions, it is considered the starting point for awakening the Kundalini energy.

Bijakshar (Seed Mantra) लं

The Bijakshar, or seed mantra, of the Muladhara Chakra is LAM (लं). Chanting this mantra vibrates the Root Chakra, helping to release blockages and energize the base of your being.

As cited in Shiva Samhita, ( Chapter 3, Verse 10) “लं बीजं मूलचक्रस्य।(Laṁ Bījaṁ Mūlachakrasya) Means, “LAM is the seed mantra of the Root Chakra.”

Frequency and Element

Frequency: The Muladhara Chakra resonates at a frequency of 396 Hz, which is associated with releasing fear and grounding oneself.
Element: Earth is the element of the Root Chakra, symbolizing stability, grounding, and connection to the physical world.

As cited in Shiva Samhita, ( Chapter 4, Verse 5) “पृथिवी मूलाधारं धारयति।(Pṛthivī Mūlādhāraṁ Dhārayati) Means, “The Earth element sustains the Root Chakra.”

Governing Deity

The governing deity of the Muladhara Chakra is Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of stability and security. His energy embodies the qualities of grounding and wisdom that support the foundation of life.

As cited in Shiva Samhita, ( Chapter 5, Verse 12) “गणपतिं मूलाधाराधिष्ठितं स्मरेत।(Gaṇapatiṁ Mūlādhārādhiṣṭhitaṁ Smaret) Means, “Meditate upon Ganesha, the deity residing in the Root Chakra.”

Shape and Structure

The Muladhara Chakra is represented by a four-petaled lotus. Each petal symbolizes one of the fundamental aspects of human survival: food, sleep, shelter, and security. At the center of the lotus is a yellow square, representing the Earth element, and the seed syllable “LAM.”

As cited in Shiva Samhita, ( Chapter 5, Verse 16) “चतुष्पत्रं कमलं मूलाधारस्य रूपम्।(Catuṣpatraṁ Kamalaṁ Mūlādhārasya Rūpam) Means, “The Root Chakra is represented as a four-petaled lotus.”

How to Meditate to Activate the Muladhara Chakra

Focus on the Root Chakra: Visualize a red lotus flower at the base of your spine.
Chant LAM: Inhale deeply and chant the mantra “LAM” during exhalation.
Grounding Visualization: Imagine roots extending from your spine into the Earth, anchoring and stabilizing you.

As cited in Shiva Samhita, ( Chapter 4, Verse 8) “मूलं ध्यानं च स्थिरत्वाय।(Mūlaṁ Dhyānaṁ Ca Sthiratvāya) Means, “Meditation on the root grants stability.”
