How to Awaken the Chakras: Activate the Muladhara Root Chakra (Ep. 2)

Overview: What the “Muladhara / Root Chakra” is

• Muladhara (Root chakra) is described as the foundation for kundalini awakening.
• Location: at the coccyx/perineum
• Associated qualities:
  • Color: red
  • Element: earth
  • Qigong parallel: the three Dan Tians
  • Function: the chakra supporting survival intelligence, safety, stability, health, and grounding in the body

When it’s aligned

• Helps you listen to body-based intelligence rather than constant mental reactivity.

When it’s imbalanced

• May show up as:
  • anxiety / fear / restlessness
  • compulsive survival behavior
  • depression / low energy

Key wellness & self-care strategies emphasized (Root-chakra balancing)

1) Reconnect with your physical body (reduce “head-only” living)

• Practice sensing hunger, thirst, and needs directly rather than relying on rigid intellectual rules.

2) Adopt an intuitive, present-centered lifestyle

• Make choices based on how you feel in the moment, with a “silent mind” rather than mechanical reactions.

3) Ground in nature

• Long walks in nature
• Walk barefoot / connect with the earth
• Spend time outdoors for fresh air and sunlight

4) Basic bodily care (simple but foundational)

• Eat healthy food (not one-size-fits-all; “intuition + circumstances”)
• Light exercise / yoga stretches
• “Animal-level” self-care:
  • hygiene
  • cleaning your space
  • not overeating

5) Emotional & mental stabilization

• Limit spiraling engagement with stress-heavy news; stay mindful/detached.
• Avoid victim-mode and wallowing.
• Build adaptability as life changes.

Productivity & mental discipline tips (implied as “survival intelligence”)

• Transcend panic narratives
  • Don’t carry world crises as constant identity—keep perspective and return to direct reality.
• Be adaptable (“be like water”)
  • Reduce attachment to routines; threat often appears when routines break.
• Ego-friendly approach to practice
  • Don’t force results—practice daily with grace and gratitude.

Core spiritual practice methods taught (with practical steps)

1) Perineum strengthening (“Mulabanda / Root Lock”)

• Goal: strengthen the perineum muscle (pelvic-floor / Kegel-like).

Simple routine

1. Do a strong squeeze
2. Then release
3. Repeat 50 times (about 50 seconds)

Purpose

• Improve energetic “locking” during breathing/pranayama
• Support grounding and focus in meditation

---

2) Correct breathing for grounding

• Don’t only lift shoulders/upper chest.
• Breathe into the belly/lower body so the stomach expands.
• This helps relax lower nerves and improves your state of mind.

---

3) Pranayama before meditation: “Spinal Breathing” (guided method)

Timing rule

• Do pranayama immediately before meditation.

Posture / conditions

• Sit upright
• Mouth and eyes closed
• Breathe through nostrils only
• Start with relaxation; then internal breathwork
• No physical movement required

Practice (awareness path)

• Place awareness at the perineum (optionally coccyx).
• On inhale: move awareness slowly up the spine to:
  • back of stomach
  • back of chest
  • back of neck
  • back/top of head
  • then to the area between/behind the eyebrows (pineal/pituitary region; linked with crown/sahasrara)
• On exhale: follow the same route back down to coccyx/perineum

Optional visualization

• A ball of light or thread traveling up/down the central canal

Key safety/attitude

• Don’t strain
• If you encounter “blockages”/sensations, treat them as phenomena and continue gently

Meditation integration

After spinal breathing, you transition by:

• continuing to sit still, then switching to your usual meditation practice or

• focusing awareness on the root chakra to balance and lengthen sitting time

---

4) Root-focused meditation / “conscious sleep”

• If attention scatters, use the micro-technique:
  • Slightly squeeze the perineum, inhale while drawing energy inward/upward, then continue.
• Root chakra meditation:
  • place awareness on the root area for long periods
  • return attention whenever thoughts arise (impartial noticing)

---

5) Mantra practices for Muladhara (“snake” rebirth energy)

Two mantra options (vocal or mental):

• “SSSSSS” (snake hiss)

  • Repeat while focusing on the perineum/coccyx region.

• “DIS DAS DOS”

  • “DIS” → “DAS” → “DOS”
  • described as “bell strikes” on consonants and prolonged “S” for the remainder of exhalation
  • deep breath before each sound

Practice progression

• Start loud → then quieter → eventually mental
• Finish by returning to “Being” (no mantra)

Optional visualization

• A red disc/circle spinning clockwise at the base of the body.

Sexual energy note

• These mantras are also suggested during sexual union for energetic regulation and for those practicing semen retention / sexual transmutation (with resources linked in the description).

---

Additional wellness/spiritual framing used throughout

• Kundalini is said to be awakened through awareness and ego transcendence, not force.
• Suggested approach:
  • relaxation, patience, compassion, daily practice
  • avoid “expectation traps” (e.g., expecting clairvoyance immediately)
• Physical life is framed as a spiritual foundation (a “house foundation” metaphor):
  • stability in the body supports deeper practice.

“Be like water” is used as a guiding attitude for adaptability.
