Muladhara means foundational support or basis. “Mula” meaning root, “adhara” meaning support, basis (of existence)
The root is the base chakra, so when there is an imbalance or downwards flow of energy, it makes you feel sluggish, lazy, dull, tired, a sense of inertia sets in. At the level of the body, it may reflect issues like arthritis, back pain, or constipation.
