Muladhara Root Chakra Meditation

The kundalini is an enormous energy source that's found coiled at the base of the spine. By awakening the kundalini we are filled with limitless power for our spiritual evolution. To do this, we begin by cleansing each of our chakras. In this meditation, we will use visualization techniques and mantra recitation to purify the Muladhara root chakra.

Hello.

Today,

I would like to guide you on a meditation specifically focused on Mooladhara Chakra.

Mooladhara Chakra is our first chakra at the base of the spine.

So as we come into our practice,

We want to make sure that we find a comfortable seat.

So take your time to really connect to your foundation today.

To the best of your ability,

Make sure that you are comfortable in your seat,

That you are rooted into the earth.

You can allow the whole lower body to connect into the earth from the spinal column through the legs and the feet,

Even the toes,

Feeling the whole lower body grounding down.

Take your time to really feel that foundational rooting nature.

And as you feel more and more connected to the earth,

Allow yourself to sense the weight of your body,

Sense the security that allows you to drop in more thoroughly.

The weight of the body is connecting you more deeply to the earth.

You are connecting from your foundation to Mother Earth.

Feel your sense of groundedness.

Feel your sense of connection,

Your sense of stability,

And your sense of safety.

From this connection,

Gently bring your awareness to your breath,

Taking a few moments to connect to your deep belly breathing.

So as you inhale,

Stay grounded and allow the belly to expand from the spine.

And as you exhale,

Feel yourself dropping in more deeply to the earth as the belly draws back toward the spine.

Dropping in,

Expanding into your skeletal structure,

Into your entire being,

And exhaling,

Feeling that foundation connect you more deeply to the earth now.

Take a few moments to feel your breath as a connection,

As a conduit between your body and Mother Earth.

Let's take a few moments to feel your breath as a conduit between your body and Mother Earth.

Once you feel firm in your foundation and your connection to the earth,

Allow yourself to visualize at the base of the spine a four-petaled lotus flower connecting you to your foundation.

Feel the stability of the number four,

This lotus expanding out from a solid square at the base of your spine.

As you visualize the symbol,

See the color red emanating from your perineum.

See that radiance of the color red connecting you more deeply to the earth.

Take the next few moments as you continue with your belly breathing to visualize this perfect foundational square with four beautiful lotus flower petals expanding out in the four directions and the color red connecting you to the frequency of Mother Earth.

Let's take a few moments to feel your breath as a conduit between your body and Mother Earth.

As you feel your foundation held in this firm and solid position held by the earth,

Find within you the vibration of the seed syllable,

Lam,

And either repeating to yourself or out loud the seed syllable,

Lam.

Taking your time to feel where it comes from,

Notice the vibration at the base of the spine,

Notice the vibration of Mother Earth below you.

Allow that to carry the sound of the bija mantra,

Lam,

Lam.

Continuing on your own,

Connecting to this vibration.

Let's take a few moments to feel your breath as a conduit between your body and Mother Earth.

Now that we have taken our time to connect to our foundation,

To connect to the element of the earth,

To see the symbol and the color that radiates at the first chakra,

Muladhara,

And to feel the seed syllable,

The vibration of lam resonating from that space,

We now have a sense of our first chakra.

We can start to feel in to this energy.

Just simply notice if it feels as though there is anything out of balance in your first chakra.

Do you feel any insecurity,

Any lack of security?

Do you feel a lack of connection with your parents,

Your friends,

Your ancestors,

Your family,

Your tribe?

Do you feel any sense of being out of control,

Ungrounded,

Unconnected,

Disconnected?

Notice if you feel any sense of crisis in your life,

If you feel areas where you are unrooted,

Where you have been disconnected,

If there's any greed,

Any possession,

Any laziness,

Any fear,

Rigid boundaries.

Simply notice what feels as though it may be out of balance at muladhara chakra.

Without judging what you feel,

Simply observe.

Observe how it sits at your first chakra.

Observe where it sits and how it feels within you and around your entire being.

How might this imbalance be affecting your being?

How might this imbalance be affecting your being?

Now,

Having explored the energy of your first chakra,

Maybe having even noticed certain areas in your life that may feel out of balance in muladhara chakra,

In your foundation,

Having brought those to your attention now,

Recognizing that you have the ability to move energy out and away from this first chakra,

Anything that is not serving you,

Anything that does not allow your sense of connection,

Foundation,

Survival,

And security,

Anything that doesn't belong to you,

Anything that is caused from fear or lack of connection,

Lack of belonging,

Lack of support,

Not needing to know from where the issue came,

But simply knowing that you have the ability to start to visualize this energy moving out and away from you.

So bringing all of your awareness to your first chakra and feel a counterclockwise spiral,

Drawing this energy out of your first chakra,

Out and away from the base of your spine.

Let it be drawn out now.

Drawing it out,

You may even use your hand and spiral it around counterclockwise,

Pulling it out or just envisioning that energy moving out and then letting it wash away.

Let it move out into the ethers.

Let it be dissolved and transformed.

From that release,

Call in the light of consciousness.

Let it flow in through the crown of your head and let it flow all the way down to meet your first chakra.

Bringing in the light to replace the energy that you have just released now.

As you bring in this light,

Feel the newness and the potential,

The seed that lies here at Muladhara Chakra.

There is an opening.

There is an awakening.

The Kundalini energy's head is lifting up.

That serpentine head is rising,

Unraveling,

Preparing us for the journey to ascend up through the Shashumna.

Feel the light in this first chakra and then energetically seal it in now in your own way.

Visualize yourself clockwise,

Creating a seal,

Closing in that energy of light,

That energy of pure potentiality,

Knowing that you have everything you need.

You are in perfect balance and harmony with Mother Earth.

You have everything for your survival,

For your security,

For your health,

For your wellness,

For your family,

For yourself,

For your physical being.

You are grounded.

You are whole.

You are connected with Mother Earth.

Feel that stability as you take your next few breaths,

Coming into your belly breathing and notice if it feels different from the first few rounds of breaths that we took this way.

Breathing in,

Feel your skeletal system and feel your foundation as the belly expands.

And breathing out,

Feel yourself grounded,

Connected,

And one with Mother Earth.

For the next few moments,

Take these deep belly breaths and feel your connection growing.

Harness this energy of Mooladhara Chakra.

Let's go.

With your energy now firmly grounded,

Gently allow the hands to come to the heart center,

Coming into Anjali Mudra as we bow our heads to our first chakra,

Mooladhara,

At the base of the spine.

We thank our foundation.

We thank Mother Earth.

We thank the vibrational sound of lam,

The beautiful symbolism that holds us in this dear space of oneness with the earth and groundedness,

Rootedness and connection.

From this place,

We bow our heads in great gratitude for this practice.

Om Shanti Peace.

Namaste.
