For thousands of years, the yogis have identified through their exceptional spiritual practice seven complex, fundamental systems of emission-reception, which connect our microcosm with the outer macrocosm's seven fundamental levels of vibration.

These centers of force are usually known as chakras. In the following, we introduce you to the essential characteristics of each chakra, as well as their area of projection in the physical body.


1. First of the seven chakras, Muladhara chakra lies at the base of the spine, in the area between anus and sex.

This center of force symbolizes the objective consciousness, the awareness in the physical, terrestrial universe.

On a psychical level, it controls the will of survival, the state of inner safety, the desire for material goods, and the choice of profession.

The physical function characteristic to this center of force is excretion, and the correspondent areas are the anus, the intestine, the muscular system and the adipose tissue.

When the energies characteristic to Muladhara chakra lack balance in respect with the other types of energies, the person in cause will be quite pragmatic, and may even lead to an irrational exhaustion of one's vital resources.

"The person who experiences the activation of this center of force easily succeeds in overcoming the attachment for earthly matters and becoming highly courageous, defeats for good his/her fear of death. The concentration and meditation on Muladhara chakra leads to the knowledge of this chakra and of the means of awakening it." (Swami Shivananda)
