Mooladhara The Base/Root Chakra is the seat of Kundalini" energy and the center of our will-to-live and survive. This is our "ground" root though which we gain power, stability, and growth.

It's often referred to as linked to the adrenal glands. It represents activity in general such as movement, energy and survival as well as grounding. It also connects with the legs, feet, hips and base of spine and represents assertiveness and self-confidence.
