"Mount Shasta - a vision of immensity
such aspertains to the vast universe
rather than to our own planet."

The Root Chakra is located at the base of
our spine and is what grounds us. When it
is in balance we feel strong, safe and
committed. The Earth's corresponding root chakra
is the majestic Mount Shasta volcano in California's Cascades Range.
Purple mist rise from below towards its
snow-capped, sherbet colored peaks, and it
tells aboutlost civilizations - regarded as the
center of the universe by Native American tribes.
FUNCTION OF THE ROOT CHAKRA
The root chakra is responsible for our safety, security, and raw
material needs.
As the base chakra, it also sends roots into our heritage to serve
as a foundation of our personal identity.
The word Muladhara breaks down into two Sanskrit words: Mula
meaning "root" and Adhara, which means "support" or "base."
This is the first of the chakras of matter. Balancing the root chakra
creates the solid foundation for opening the other chakras above.
The root chakra is comprised of whatever grounds you to stability
in your life. This includes your basic needs such as food, water,
shelter, and safety, as well as your more emotional needs such as
letting go of fear. When these needs are met, you feel grounded
and safe, and you tend to worry less day to day.
