Term: Root Chakra

DEFINITIONs:
1.  One of the power centers found in spiritual traditions with a source in the Indian subcontinent. The Root Chakra (Muladhara in Sanskrit) or Base Chakra is physically associated with the coccyx, although some say it is associated with the area between the genitals and the anus. When this chakra is overcharged or undercharged with spiritual energy, it implies that you are dealing with issues concerning security, survival, and potential. It is said that the kundalini energy begins here, and is symbolized by a lotus flower that has four petals.
AUTHOR:  Donald Michael Kraig

2.  Also called Muladhara, it is the chakra located at the base of spine—color red, associated planet Saturn, associated with the Sephirah Malkuth. It is home to Kundalini and sexual energy.

For each of the seven major chakras there are established correspondences (associated energies and symbols) that expand our understanding of the chakra.
