Purpose of Muladhara is foundation.
Focus on rooting, grounding, nourishing oneself and trust.
Location is base of spine. This is where we form the Mula Bandha.
Weakness in this Chakra is expressed as fear.
Chakras are not only nourished by the energy centers and the mind. The body is vital as it has an intelligence whose mysteries the mind has yet to fathom. Without the body as a unifying figure of existence, we become fragmented.
Our bodies are the solid form of our existence; they have definable boundaries. To be solid is to face what is in front of us without lunching, to remain anchored in truth in the face of opposition, and to remain calm and secure.
Where does fear arise? How to release the instinctual response?
Cultivate the awareness to watch the body's expression or response to fear.
What is a limitation?
It is a boundary used to define something.
To be efficient at something, it is necessary to limit oneself to that particular activity until one can master it. It is vital to see the limitations and embrace it.
if our basic needs were not satisfied in the first chakra then we are afraid to set limits. We will still seek merging and contact that we were denied.
Grounding exercise
Place feet hip distance apart, toes in. Inhale bend knees and exhale to straightens out push feet deep into the floor. Don't straighten knees all the way, keep a micro bend. Repeat several times.
