Mula translates to “root” in Sanskrit, the language used by the ancient sages of India who developed the chakra system. I use inspiration from this wisdom because I didn’t invent getting rooted, it’s been a concept for thousands of years…
When learning about the chakras, I was most fascinated by the root chakra as it is the foundation for the rest of the systems in our body to work properly. It was also the area that seemed most imbalanced not only in my own life, but also in the lives of many young professionals today.
The root chakra can be thrown out of balance by fear, worry, and anxiety. It can also become “blocked” when the body is in fight-or-flight mode, the response that is too often activated by daily stressors we experience in our personal and professional lives. Below, you’ll find a simple breakdown of how our body feels when our root is in and out of balance, as well as how we can work together to get rooted.
Getting Rooted
-
Mula in Balance
We feel secure, connected, and at home in our bodies. We are easily able to adapt and “flow” with life. We feel grounded, alert, courageous, and energetic. It’s only from this place of inner strength and authenticity that we can perform at our best and realize our goals
-
Mula Out of Balance
We feel fatigued, insecure, and anxious. We can also end up overweight, underweight, and/or with poor digestion, being disconnected from what our bodies need. Feeling alienated or being quick to anger is also common. Today’s hyper-connected, competitive world can often create the perfect conditions for knocking our root out of balance
