The Root Chakra is deeply tied to the Earth — the soil, the harvest, and the strength of ancestry. Across cultures, it symbolised survival, stability, and faith in life’s cycles. Farmers and tribes honoured the land through rituals, drumming, and fire festivals that connected them to their roots.
Muladhara represents the foundation of both body and culture — our link to family, history, and the instinct to endure.
When balanced, one feels like the elephant: grounded and secure. When blocked, fear and instability take hold, disconnecting us from the earth that sustains us.

The colour red was chosen for this chakra because it reflects the colour of blood, the clay-rich soil of India, and the glow of fire that kept early tribes alive through cold nights. Red symbolises life itself — vitality, security, and primal instinct. Without red energy, life fades into fear and weakness; with it, we stand tall, energised, and unshaken.

The frequency of 396 Hz became associated with Muladhara as sages listened to the rhythms of the earth. This vibration mirrors the heartbeat of nature — the low hum of the ground beneath, the rumble of thunder rolling across plains, the steady rhythm of the elephant’s footsteps. In sound healing, this frequency is said to dissolve fear and guilt, reconnecting us to our primal trust.
