About Muladhara, the Root Chakra
Root chakra is associated with the earth element. The properties of earth include support, grounding and stability.
Basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and security resonate with the root chakra as well as your emotional needs regarding safety.
Energetically, this chakra marks the beginning of our journey from physical awareness towards spiritual enlightenment, and because of this, it is most closely connected to the earth, home and family as well as the physical body including the bones, the teeth, the muscles and the sinews.
Muladhara develops between the 2nd trimester (pre-birth) and 12 months of age so events occurring during this time can have a great effect on the development of this chakra including events that may have occurred for the mother while the fetus was in utero.

Balancing the Root Chakra.
We can maintain a balanced Root chakra by managing issues associated with feelings of security. By establishing a healthy diet and exercise routine, we ground ourselves in our physical body.
Secondly, by establishing a secure home environment or experience of home we create a strong foundation for our selves, this may mean working through any issues around housing security from our childhoods.
Thirdly, by working with on our financial stability through attracting a secure income, budgeting and creating a nest egg, we round out our security needs in the material environment.
