Your body keeps the score. When the Root Chakra (Muladhara) is blocked, it doesn’t just whisper—it screams.

Muladhara governs your sense of safety, survival, and stability. When it’s imbalanced, life isn’t just hard—it feels inherently unsafe, even when evidence suggests otherwise. The chakra’s energy can either drain away (leaving you exhausted and anxious) or clog up (trapping you in rigidity, control, or materialism).
