Introduction
Our journey up the spinal column behind at the base of the spine, home of the first chakra. or more accurately the perineum midway between the anus and the genitals (Perineum). It corresponds to the section of spine called the coccyx as well as the coccygeal spinal ganglion and the lower lumber vertebra, from which the ganglion sprouts.. This is the foundation of our entire system- the building block on which all the other chakras must rest, so this chakra is of crucial importance. It relates to the element earth and all solids, earthly things such as our bodies, our health, our survival, our material and monastery existence, and our ability to focus and manifest our needs. It is the manifestation of consciousness in its final form- solid and tangible. It is our need to stay alive and be healthy, and the acceptance of limitation and discipline so crucial to manifestation.
In this system earth represents form and solidity, our most condensed state of matter and the "lowest" end of our chakra spectrum. It is visualizes as a deep, vibrant red the color of the beginning, and the color with the longest wavelength and slowest vibration in the visible spectrum.

Airavata The white four tusk elephant that emerged from the churning of ocean, is an animal in Muladhara chakra and Vishudha Chakra. Airawata draws water from the under world to seed the clouds.
LAM - Seed Mantra : LAM is the seed mantra of Muladhara Chakra.
The Sanskrit name for this chakra is Muladhara which means "root support" The Sciatic nerve travelling from Sacral plexus down through the legs, is the largest peripheral nerve in the body (about as thick as our thumb) and functions much like a root for the nervous system. The feet and leg which provide locomotion, enables us to perform tasks necessary to obtain life sustenance form the earth and its environment. Our legs touch the ground below us and connects our nervous system with the earth , our first chakra element. We respond then , kinesthetically, to gravity - the basic underlying force of the earth- constantly pulling us downward. This force keeps us connected to our planet, rooted in our material existence.

This center is depicted as a lotus of four petals, within which is a square. This can be seen as a representing the four directions and the firm foundation of the material world, which in many systems has come to be symbolized as square. As the first chakra relates to Malkuth, the base sphere in kabbalistic Tree of life. (Malkuth means Kingdom. It is associated with the realm of matter/earth and relates to the physical world, the planets and the Solar System.) Malkuth, Malchut or Malchus is the tenth of the sephirot in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. It sits at the bottom of the Tree.
Within the triangle is the Kundilini serpent wrapped around the Shiva lingam which points upwards. These chakras are home and resting place of Kundalini.
Below the triangle is the seven trunked elephant. named Airavata, representing heavy, mater like quality of this chakra and the seven pathways of it, which correspond to the seven chakras. We may also associate elephant headed God Ganesha the lord of obstacles, with its center.as he is grounded , full bellied , and happy with his physicality.
Other deity depicted in the square are the five faced Child Brahma. dispelling fears

is a small triangle pointing downwards from a column of energy representing Sushumna.
In keeping with the correlation to solid matter, this chakra relates to the solid part of the body , specially bones, large intestine (which passes solid substance), leg, feet, and teeth and the fleshy body as a whole, blood, vertebral column, skeleton. There are minor chakras in the knee and feet that transmit sensations from the ground below to our spinal column for information concerning motor activity. They are sub-chakras to the first and second chakras - grounding outlet for the body as a whole.
Chakras are the vortices of energy. At the level of the first chakras our vortex is the most dense of any chakra level. It is TAMAS at its essence :at rest, inert.
Consciousness in Muladhara chakra is primarily concerned with physical survival. When our survival is threatened we experience fear. Fear is a demon of first chakra. - it counteracts the sense of safety and security that the first chakra ideally brings.. Inappropriate levels of fear can be a sign that the first chakra foundation is damaged. Facing our fear can help the first chakra wake up.
Take for examples the emotion experience of fear, related to the first Chakra. Fear affects our body in certain ways:
- We feel butterflies in our stomach.
- Our breath is short.
- And our voice and hand may shake.
These physical characteristic betray our lack of confidence in dealing with the world and may lead others to treat us in a negative way perpetuating our fear. This fear may have its root in an unresolved childhood experience, yet still rules our behavior.To work with the chakras is to heal our self of old constructing pattern loges in the body or the mind or habitual behavior.

Grounding
The liberating current, ever moving towards higher consciousness is pathway most commonly associated with the chakra system. Sending our energy downward, into the earth, along the current of manifestation.This is often seen less spiritual.
Grounding is the process of dynamic contact with the earth, with its edges, boundaries and limitations. It allows us to become solidly real.-present in the here and now-and dynamically alive with the vitality that comes from the earth. While mechanically our feet may touch the ground with every step, this contact is empty. if we are cut off from the feelings in our legs and feet. Grounding involves opening the lower chakras, merging with gravity, and descending deeply into the vehicle of the body.
Without grounding, we are unstable, we lose our center, fly off the handle , get swept off our feet or day dream in the fantasy world. We lose our ability to contain, to have, or to hold. Natural excitement or charge becomes dissipated, diluted and ineffectual. When we lose our ground, our attention wonders from the present moment and we appear to be "not all here" In this state, we feel powerless and like a vicious cycle, may no longer want to be here.
Our ground anchor the very root for which this chakra is named. Through our roots we, we gain nourishment, power stability, and growth. Without the connection we are separated from nature, separated from our biological sources. Cut off from our source, we lose our path.
Our roots are made from our gut- the instinctive feeling that get programmed from the memories if our past, our racial and cultural heritage and the indestructible fabric of our being. When we are grounded we are humble and close to the earth. We live simply, in a state of grace. We can embrace stillness, solidity and clarity "grounding out"the stresses of everyday life, and increasing the vitality of our basic life force.
Resting on the ground we cannot fall, which provide a sense of inner security. It is through grounding that our consciousness complete the manifesting current. It is at the first chakra plane that the ideas becomes reality. The earth plane is the testing ground of our beliefs.That which has ground, substance and validity will find its way to manifestation. That which has roots will endure.
To become strong a man's life needs the limitations ordained by duty and voluntarily accepted. Grounding is simplifying force. We are bringing our consciousness into the body which for all practical purposes exist in one space and one time only- the here and now. Our body remains where we are.
The human body is a finely tuned instrument capable of receiving and transmitting an enormous variety of energies.Grounding is the process of plugging our self into the earth and the world around us, completing the circle that makes us a channel for the great diversity of life energies around us. Grounding protects the body from becoming "overloaded" by the tensions of everyday life. When the human being is standing on the ground, it is electrically grounded as well.
Measurements have shown that when the human body is standing on the ground it is electrically grounded as well. There is an electro-static field surrounding the earth with a resonant frequency of about 7.5 cycles per seconds . The micro motion of the body that consist of a constant vibration of the heart cells and bodily fluids.. This micro-motion vibrates at a frequency of 6.8 to 7.5 cycles per seconds. Therefore the body's natural frequency resonates with the earth's ionosphere, connecting physically to this great body, as in walking and lying on earth. Our own body enter into this resonance more deeply.
Grounding is a way of coping with stress. The downward channel gives us an outgoing circuit and protect us from psychic overload.The physical world is safe and stable.We can always return to our favorite chair, a good meal, and familiar surroundings when we need to feel calm and secure.This stability makes us easier to work on higher planes.When the body feels secure, well fed and healthy, our conscious can flow to other levels.
Chakras filter energy from environment. Their spinning pattern vibrates at a certain rate allowing only matching vibrations to enter into the internal core of consciousness. The rest recedes into the background, soon to be completely forgotten by the conscious mind (although the subconscious mind may often remember quite well). When too much abrasive energy is found in our surroundings, the chakras will close down to protect the subtle body from the caustic invasion. Overloaded chakras are difficult to open. Grounding is a way to discharge excess tension.
Grounding brings clarity through stillness. Every action causes a reaction. If we can still our reaction to some aspect of a vicious cycle, we are "stepping out of the world of karma" We are then able to stop the cycle able to stop. This is analogous to letting dirty water sit in a glass long enough for mud to settle to the bottom, clearing the water.
Many people experience difficulty because their upper chakras are too open, while their lower chakras are too open, while their lower chakras are not stable enough to support the barrage of psychic energy they pick up around them. As its extreme,this creates serious mental disorders, such as psychosis.. A psychotic individual has lost touch with his ground and with consensus reality.Through techniques of grounding, psychic overload can be discharged giving patient stability to match their sensitivity. Even simple physical touch can help to ground someone in intense pain. Physical exercise or making something with one's hand is also useful as well as any of the grounding exercises given below.
Grounding is like focusing a camera lance where the object is to get two images to merge into one.As our astral body becomes firmly connected with our physical body, our sense of physical world around us becomes sharp and clear. If another person to look at us when we are particularly grounded, they would also experience a dynamic clarity about us- a presence in the eyes and body.-whether or not that person had ever seen an "aura".
In this state "groundedness"decisions are more easily made, worries about the future are more easily assailed, and enjoyment of the present moment takes on a new luster and challenge. This is not a state that is detrimental to expanded consciousness, but one that enhance it.
Grounding forms a foundation. A person desiring to study medicine "grounds" themselves in a physical science as an undergraduate. In opening a new business, one first gets "grounding" from someone more experienced in the field and finds financial support. Our first chakra are the foundations on which everything we do rest. Our bodies are a micro some of the world we create around us. The work we do and the foundations we built are the utmost importance to the success of whatever follows.
For many people work itself is a grounding activity. Aside from providing our basic tool of survival-money the routine of working a job according to a regular schedule can provide a basic structure that supports the life around it. This routine while it may be drudgery at times, can actually be beneficial in its limitations. It builds a foundation. Through focus and repetition, energies become dense enough to manifest. If we are involved with constant change we are like a rolling stone that gathers no mass. We are kept at a survival level because we are constantly building new foundations. Only through focus and repetition we can achieve expertise in an area leading leading to larger manifestation of goal, be their physical or ideological.
Generally it is our tensions results from alienation between various parts of ourselves. As these parts are simplified and integrated, we experience increased vitality.
Survival
The first chakra conscious is oriented towards survival. This is a maintenance program that protects the health of our bodies and our day to day mundane needs. Here we function from a instinctive level concerned with hunger, fear, need for rest, warmth and shelter.
Survival demands awaken our consciousness. Threat to survival stimulates the Adrenal glands for the burst of extra energy needed for fight and flight. As the body gets energized, awareness is heightened. In order to consolidate our energy, in the first chakra, we must first see that our survival needs are met in a healthy and direct way, so that our consciousness is not dominated by them. To ignore these demands is to be constantly pulled back into survival consciousness making us unable to "get off the ground."
The first chakra stores all the surviving information. The operating system of our body then "boots" that information into the attention of the conscious mind.
The body reacts instantaneously. The spine makes contact to the earth, via a legs, adrenaline rushes through the bloodstream, the heart beat accelerate, increasing blood supply and the senses are sharpened dramatically. Our sleepy consciousness awakens. It is the beginning of heightened awareness where Kundalini who lies coiled around the Muladhara, may begin her assent.
When survival information is not needed immediatly the chakra goes on automatic. It routinely checks internal and external environment to see that all things remain in order and that may not be conductive to the ongoing existence of the organism. When there is a threat pre-programming in the first chakra takes over and our consciousness is dominated by the needs of the body.
If we do not take rest our illness advances until we have no choice. If our income is threatened or if we are suddenly evicted from our home our attention is dominated by these situations, until they are resolved. Like the force of gravity, we can only accept its pull and learn to work with it.
One who is perpetually plagued by health problems or constantly struggling with financial crisis is caught in this first chakra level. Some unresolved conflicts, whether it is physical or circumstantial or psychological, is keeping their consciousness trapped at this level. There is unusually an insecure. panicky feeling - one which may pervade other areas of life, even when there is no need of it. As long as the situation remains unresolved, the person will have difficulty raising any appreciable amount of consciousness to higher levels. Exercise for dealing with such problems involve grounding and working with first chakra. The ramifications of consciousness at this root level namely, the right to be here.
What keeps you from wanting to be here? From whom do you need permission to take care of yourself. What is the fear of grounding or becoming stable, of standing on your able two feet..Who is responsible for your survival. How much of your thinking is unrealistic dreaming, not grounded in the world around you? How was your survival provided in childhood, by whom and at what cost? Are you connecting with your body, listening to it , administering to its needs ? Do you have a right to be here to take up space, to have what you need in order to survive?
An important aspect of the ability to maintain survival at a comfortable level has to do with the ability to have things-to contain, to keep, to magnetize materiality into our own sphere. To be and to have-these are the rights of first chakra.
The ability to have is an acquired skill. Developing our ability to have things begins with increasingly self worth. Paradoxically, allowing ourselves to have more also increases our self worth, both literally and figuratively. It helps to look objectively at what we allow ourselves to have, in terms of money, love, time to ourselves, rest and pleasure.
The Body
Just as our houses are homes for our body, our body is a home for our spirit. When attention may wonder to distant places, we still return to the same bundle of flesh and bones throughout the entirety of our lives. As our body interacts with the world, it becomes our personal microcosm of that world.
The task of mastering the first chakra is ultimetly to understand our body understand and heal the body. Learning to accept our body, feel it validate it, love it- there are challenges awaits us here. The language of first chakra is form, and our body is the physical expression of our personal form. As we examine the form- by look, by touch, movement or inner sensation- we learn the language of our body speaks and discover ever deeper parts of our selves.
Each chakra brings us a levels of information. The body is a hardware through which the information is received, as well as the "hard copy". of all the data and programming within us. Etched in a flesh and posture of the bones are our pains and our joys. Coded within our nerve impulses are our needs and habits, memories and talents Within our genes is our ancestry, within our cells the chemistry of the food we eat, and our heart beats out our rhythms, our muscle mirror our daily activities.
Our body is made up of Trillions of tiny cells which by some miracle hang together into one complete whole. Like the gravitational field the first chakra draws matter and energy towards itself, while various levels of consciousness organize them into a working them whole. Accepting the body is accepting the central integrating structure that unites our many divergent parts. It is a container for the soul.
Our body expresses our life, if our shoulder feels burden and heavy, our body is telling us to carry too many burdens. If our knees don't want to support us, our body is telling us that we don't have adequate support in our life or perhaps we lack flexibility. our stomach has chronic pain , there is something in our life that we can't stomach.
Exercise: Write I am or I feel......If one is speaking for their neck and the neck is cramped they write I am cramped, If the knees feel weak they write i feel weak.They have given the statements from the body as a whole . These turn out to be statement about how they feel about themselves as a whole in their life at that time.
To validate the body is to identify with it. If my chest is hurting, I admit that my emotional heart is hurting. To consolidate ourselves at this level, we must make peace with our body so that we can than be at peace in our body. It is through first chakra that we gain our physical identity.which gives us solidity as human being. Self nurturing is a key to taking care of the body. Resting when we need to rest, eating well, exercising, and giving the body pleasures all help to keep the first chakra happy. Massage, hot baths, good food, and pleasure exercises are all ways of nurturing ourselves and healing the mind body split that results from the mind over matter paradigm. We cannot be integrated and whole if the two polarities are pitted against each other.Instead through the body, we can have a experience of mind within matter.
Eating the ingestion of solid matter into our bodies- is the first chakra activity. It grounds us, nourishes us and maintains our physical structure. Though food we take into ourselves the fruit of the earth.- the first chakra element.What it is that makes up material body. The food we digest is the matter, we transform to energy, and it follows that what we eat affects our energy output. Eating clean and nourishing food is a first step for establishing a healthy foundation in the first chakra.
For some it is eating nothing that is not the purest and freshest of food from the local farm. For most this is not practical. A need for that much purity would leave us starving in a typical urban environment. The most we can hope for is to be conscious of what we eat. Avoiding heavy processed foods, foods that are rich in refined sugars, and "empty foods"without nutritional benefit are a beginning for any one who wishes to strengthen the health of their body and their first chakra. One can still be malnourished while eating entirely out of health food stores. Natural foods do not always imply a balanced diet. Balance is of even greater importance than purity.
"NUTRITION : Service to your first chakra."
It is surprising how many people do not consider this a necessity when eating is such a basic function in our lives. If we use our bodies for ninety years without reference to the owner's manual no wonder they break down.
FOOD AND THE CHAKRAS
Chakra one Meats and Proteins
 |
| Meat & Proteins |
Meat and proteins are good food for grounding. Too much of them however leaves the body sluggish and overly Tamsic. If on other hand one feels weak , disoriented or out of touch with his body and the physical world, a good meal of fleshy foods can do much to ground him. It is not necessary to eat meat to be grounded . It is the protein that is most important for the structural tissue associated with the first chakra.
A vegetarian diet with proper protein can provide enough "Foundation food" to keep the first chakra happy. It is than important to eat such food as tofu, beans, nuts, eggs and dairy products.
First Chakra Exercises
Grounding Meditation
Find a comfortable chair and sit with your back straight and both feet planted firmly on the floor. Take a deep breath. Feel you body expand and contract as you breath. Feel your legs and feet and the floor they are placed on. Feel the solidity on the solidity of that contact. Feel the chair beneath you. Feel the weight of your body in it, and how the force of gravity naturally pulls you downward, easily and soothingly.
Bring your attention to your feet. Ever so slightly press your feet into the floor and feel your legs engage with the earth plane.. Do not let the pressure become tension so that the muscles in your legs tighten and feel a subtle current of energy running from your first chakra down the earth. Try to keep the current going as we move on to grounding the upper body.
As you tune into the weight of your body you will gradually become aware of a center of gravity at the base of your spine feel how your body is resting on that point and focus on it as if were an anchor, holding you down. When you feel anchored at this spot, you can begin to integrate the rest of your body into your grounding.
Tune into your torso focusing your attention on the central channel of your body. This is not the spine which is closer to the back of the body, but that part of our internal core that is aligned over our center of gravity.
Take a moment of to align the top of your head, your throat, heart, stomach and abdomen- all the other chakras with the base chakra on which they rest. Take a deep breath and allow this alignment to gently settle in and balance over the first chakra.
We have now established a vertical column of energy. Imagine this column as a great cord- preferably of deep red color-running from far above your head through the center of your body, and down into the ground passing directly through the empty space between your seat and the floor. Take special time to make sure this cord runs through your anchor point in the first chakra and continue not only to the ground, but deep down into it.- if you can visualize going all the way to the center of the earth with the earth's gravitational field pulling it down to the core.
Spend some time at this point checking to keep all the parts going- the feet slightly pressing into the floor, the chakras aligned directly over each other, the red column of energy pulling us down, the hormonous feel of gravity rooting us, anchoring our physical and subtle body together.
Gradually let your torso sway forward and back, side to side, and than in a circular motion, over this first chakra point. Notice how the point at the base of your spine does not move- yet the body moves around it.We want to be able to keep our grounding even in movement and this allows the body to practice this skill.
Allow excess tension to drain off into the ground, still keeping the feet slightly pressed into the floor, then return to stillness once again.
Yoga Posture
The following Hatha yoga exercises work on stimulating and releasing energy from the Muladhara Chakra. itself :
Knee to chest (Apanasana)
Bridge Pose, wheel Pose (Chakrasana, Setu Bandasana)
Half locust and Full Locust Pose (Shalabhasana)
Head to Knee Pose (Janu Shirshasana)
Deep relaxation
It is also called conscious relaxation. It essentially involves grounding and relaxing each part of your body one at a time. Lie flat on your back and get comfortable. Make sure you are warm enough, for the body gets so relaxed in this exercise that it often gets cold . You may need a light blanket.
Begin breathing deeply and keep the breath going in a comfortable, steady rhythm throughout the meditation. Raise your left leg a few inches off the floor.. Hold your breath for a few seconds, and tighten each muscle in your leg. Then with gush of released breath let all muscles relax and let the leg fall into the floor like a dead weight. Give it a small shake, ground it and let it be. Repeat for the right leg, tightening, holding then letting it go.
Move on to your right arm, making a fist and tightening all the muscle as hard as possibly can, Release, now tighten the left arm lift tighten...hold...release.
Roll your head from side to side, stretching all the muscles in your neck. Raise the head slightly off the floor hold, tighten , release.
Curl up your nose, purse your lips,and scrunch your eyes together.Hold, tighten release. Repeat with your mouth open, tongue out and face stretched, hold, tighten, release.
Mentally go over each part of your body, one at a time and check to see if the parts are really relaxed. Begin with the toes, the feet , the ankle,the calves, the knees, and thighs . Check to see your buttocks are relaxed, your stomach and your chest, breathing in and out, slowly and deeply. Check to see your neck is relaxed, your mouth, tongue, cheeks, forehead.
Nor allow yourself to observe your body, peacefully breathing in and out deeply relaxing. Observe your thoughts, letting them come and go effortlessly. If you wish to make change in your body now is a good time to make silent commands or affirmations. Keep them positive such as "I will be strong"rather than "I won't be weak".
When you are ready to return, begin flexing your fingers and toes and wiggling your legs and arms. Open your eyes and return to the world refreshed.
Movement exercise
Nearly anything that makes contact with the earth is grounding. Moving the energy into feet is the first step. The following bio energetic exercise is excellent for this purpose.
Stand comfortably, arms at your sides, raise up on your toes and come down hard on your heels,
bending your knees as you do. Pretend you are sinking into the floor raising and lowering your hand with the rise and fall of your body can help to emphasize the downward flow. Repeat this several times for good warm up.
Basic Grounding Stance
Stand upright with your feet hip width apart or slightly wider. Allow your feet to be just slightly pigeon toed with the heal wider than toes bend your knee out over the feet just slightly.
Press into the floor as if you were trying to push two rugs apart from each other with your feet. Feel the solidity and strength it gives you in your lower body. Hold this pose a few moments and imagine holding your ground in a difficult situation.
If you wish to get even more charged into your legs breath in and bend your knees, breath out and strengthen, then slowly but completely. Repeat for several minutes . Never allow yourself to "lock" your knees as it cuts off the grounding circuit.
The elephant
This is designed to bring even more energy into the legs.
With the feet parallel and hip width apart or wider bend over with your knees slightly bend and touch your palms to the floor . Move your hands forwards if this is difficult.
Inhale and bend your knees to about forty five degrees. Exhale and strengthen your knees until they are almost straight, but never locked.
Pushing the feet
Also a bio-energetic exercise.
If you find a place that makes your legs vibrate, stay at the point and let the vibration continue as it energizes your legs and hips.
Common Sense grounding exercises
 |
| Pamper your legs |
Stamping
This is excellent to do after getting out of bed in the morning, and is nicely followed by foot massage from a "footsie roller", tennis ball, or helper if possible.
Stamp one foot several times and than the other. This helps to open foot chakras and make contact with the solidity beneath us.
Jumping up and down
Pretend you are little child and jump up and down, letting everything relaxed and become very loose. Each jump down should be accompanied by a bending of knees and a sinking into the earth.
Kicking
Lie on bed and kick your leg rhythmically. Try it with knees bend and with legs straight, experiencing the the results of both
Jogging
Jogging energizes the feet, leg and torso, step up the metabolism and increases the breathing rate. Jog on outdoors for wonderful grounding exercise.
Ridding
This is an interesting grounding exercise for the urban environment.
Ride a bus
Ride a train
Standing up without hanging on anything.
Bend you knees and keep your weight low to maintain your balance. Learn where your center of gravity is.
Resting
Very little is said about the extreme benefits of just slowing down, sitting in a chair and relaxing and doing nothing. This is the most common grounding practice.
Massage
Massage of any kind helps to relieve tension and reconnect the psyche of the body. A foot massage is specially helpful in grounding.
Eating
Many people eat to ground themselves This is because it works. Overeating, however puts one out of touch with the body and can UN-ground them.
Sleeping
Sleeping is bringing the body to rest and to stillness. It is grounding at the end of the day that regenerates us for the following day. Sleep like a baby. Dreamless sleep is the best.
