The root chakra is the most important energy center in the human body. It represents the foundation for your life, the pillar or center of your being. Like the roots of a tree, this center keeps our lives from falling apart.
The true gift of the root chakra is trust. This is because it produces a feeling of internal stability and strength, eliminating fearfulness, judgement, and paranoia.
The awakened Mūlādhāra chakra will produce all sorts of physical, psychological, and metaphysical effects.

Psychological Effects of a Balanced Mūlādhāra Chakra
The symbolism of this energy center is the crocodile, a slow, still, steady predator. This is our survival center that taps into the mars energy, the will to fight and overcome obstacles.
With this center open, there is fearlessness, openness, innocence, and deep psychological stability.
On the other hand, people with an imbalanced root chakra struggle with identity issues, addictions, homelessness, or mental illness.
The Results of a Grounded Being
Remember this: this energy center will also allow you to attune to the natural world around you. Loneliness, anxiety, depression, and mental instability will disappear.
Centered and safe, you will begin to trust yourself enough to take meaningful action in the world.
