Muladhara, The Root Chakra
The Muladhar © Chandi Devi 2007 All Rights Reserved The premise in Tantra is that there are seven energy chakras, along the spine in the subtle body. These are often described as petals of a lotus, with each chakra owning from four petals at the first chakra to one thousand petals in the seventh. At the base of the spine is the first chakra called the muladhar. This is the root of our survival, our most base instincts.
