The root chakra, or Muladhara, is associated with money, stability, and financial security, influencing our relationship with wealth.
Your financial abundance begins at the root – literally. The root chakra (Muladhara) serves as your energetic foundation for wealth creation and financial stability. When balanced, this powerful energy center transforms fear into prosperity consciousness.
The Root Chakra: Your Financial Foundation
Located at the base of your spine, the root chakra governs survival instincts and basic needs. Its Sanskrit name “Muladhara” translates to “root support” – perfectly describing its role as your energetic anchor to physical and financial security.
This chakra vibrates at the frequency of:
- Safety and security
- Basic survival needs
- Financial stability
- Physical health
How Money Energy Flows Through Your Root Chakra
Your relationship with money begins in the root chakra. When balanced, you experience:
| Balanced Root Chakra | Blocked Root Chakra |
|---|---|
| Financial confidence | Money anxiety |
| Consistent income flow | Feast-or-famine cycles |
