What does the Root Chakra stand for?
The Root Chakra, also known as Muladhara, is the first chakra in the human energy system and is located at the base of the spine, near the tailbone.

Root Chakra in balance
In the tradition of chakra teachings, a balanced Root Chakra is seen as a state in which we feel safe and grounded and can concentrate on our tasks and goals. It symbolises stability and a sense of security about ourselves and our surroundings. According to this tradition, people with a balanced Root Chakra are well grounded and stable in their daily lives. Root chakra gemstones have traditionally been associated with the balance of this chakra.
What does a 'too open' Root Chakra feel like?
In chakra teachings, however, a Root Chakra that is too open is associated with an overactive mind and an overactive body. According to this tradition, people with an overactive Root Chakra, for example, worry easily about their safety and are often anxious and restless. This is also linked to a feeling of insecurity and unrest. In this tradition, some root chakra gemstones symbolise balance in this chakra.
What does a 'too closed' Root Chakra feel like?
In chakra teachings, a Root Chakra that is too closed is associated with feelings of fear, insecurity and unrest. According to this tradition, people with a blocked Root Chakra often feel ungrounded and insecure in their daily lives and sometimes find it difficult to make decisions and achieve goals. This is also linked to a lack of trust in themselves and their surroundings.
