MOOLADHARA CHAKRA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Sanskrit word moola means root or base; adhara means substratum; or support. Mooladhara is the fundamental root or framework of individual human existence. Mooladhara is situated at the perineum in the male, midway between the anus and the genitals, a centimetre or so above the skin surface. In the a male, it is at the cervix, where the vagina and the uterus join. It is approximately two to three centimetres inside the body. From mooladhara the three major nadis - ida, pingala and sushumna arise and make their ascent via the other chakras to ajna. So, in actual fact, mooladhara is directly linked to ajna chakra in the midbrain. Thus by stimulating mooladhara it is possible to awaken ones intuitive faculties. In tantra and yoga, as well as in most other systems, kundalini is believed to reside in mooladhara chakra, coiled like a sleeping snake. Mooladhara is the lowest chakra in man but the highest in animals. When mans consciousness resides here he is unconscious of himself, but when an awakening begins to take place in this chakra the individuals understanding awareness start to unfold. Mooladhara is the centre where one is almost entirely self-centred and concerned with obtaining personal security, money, material objects, food, friends, etc. The karmas of previous stages of evolution manifest in the form of anger, greed, jealousy, passion, love, hatred, sleep etc. According to Samkhya philosophy, mooladhara is symbolic of the earth [prithvi] element [tattwa] and is closely related to the sense of smell and the locomotion of the legs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ legacyofwisdom.blogspot.in/2013/05/mooladhara-chakra.html
