Muladhara Chakra
The root chakra is located at the base of your spine, also known as the cocyyx, and is considered the first of the 7 chakras.
The root chakra governs the lower half of the body including lower back, spine, legs, kidneys and bladder. Psychologically, the root chakra rules your sense of survival or instinct. The root chakra gets its name due to the plethora of psychological components directly related to your personal and family foundation. The root chakra begins to develop directly after birth where we begin to create the foundation of morals and values, behaviors and defense mechanisms that help us to create our world and our reality.
