How does the root/basic aka muladhar chakra work?

As we all are aware that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It changes its form. So whatever energy is used in the body is then have to be disposed off.

• The Muladhar chakra is the chakra which operates the used energy disposal system which is responsible for the excretion of the negative and used energy from our auric/etheric body.

• A chord termed as Root chord exists between the root chakra and earth which keeps disposing the negative and used energy from the auric body and then grounds it in the earth for recycling. And also receives earth’s positive energy at the same time to fill the void.

• When the negativity increases the disposal unit tube is broadened and pushes the positive tube which limits the size of the positive tube and hence reduces the intake of positive energy. Which results in malfunctioning of Muladhar chakra.

Key features of the root chakra

• The basic chakra has 4 petals and is associated with Lord Ganesh.

• One petal is Yellow in color and its color is fixed while the other 3 are a mix of red and orange. The color of this chakra varies depending on the person’s karma and food intake.

• When a baby is born, the color of the 3 petals is deep red like the color of the hibiscus flower and remains so for the first 2 years till the baby is fed on breast milk. If baby is fed nonveg food at the very early age then it causes deterioration of the basic chakra.
