Mooladhara is the root chakra, and is associated with our basic needs for survival, such as food, shelter, and safety. When this chakra is balanced, we feel grounded, secure, and confident in our ability to meet our basic needs. When it is imbalanced, we can experience anxiety, depression, and a sense of insecurity.
