Meditation on Mooladhara

                                             

Mooladhara represents the element earth. The significance of meditating on mooladhara is to ground yourself to strengthen you. Being the base chakra, start meditating on mooladhara to build up your strength both physically and emotionally to have a secure feeling in your life.

Sit comfortably with spine straight on a chair or on the floor in sukhasana or padmasana. Keep your palms facing upward on the respective knees holding prithvi mudra. Prithvi mudra is done by touching the tips of the thumb and ring finger. Feel relaxed and breathe normally. Close your eyes. Concentrate on mooladhara. Feel the chakra is lighted up. Feel a sense of grounding by rooting yourself into the earth. Imagine yourself as an unshakable rock on the earth. Think that you are becoming more and stronger like a hill on the earth. Feel that the bones and muscles in your body is getting stronger. Imagine a red light spreads in your whole body grounding you more to the earth. Continue meditation on the chakra with a feel that you are so strong and stable. Meditate for 15 to 20 minutes. Bring back your physical awareness to the original state. Feel grateful to mother earth for enabling you to be grounded. Imagine the mooladhara chakra is opened, cleansed and balanced. Experience the secure feel within. Rub your hands strongly, feel the warmth in your palms on the mooladhara chakra and spread to the whole body. Slowly open your eyes and conclude the meditation by saying Om Shanti! Shanti!! Shanti!!!
