Basics

Mooladhara or also knew Muladhara (its Sanskrit and means "root place") is the 1st of the main 7 chakras. And that chakra is the most important one, because it controls survival and security, and is good base to other chakras. It is base of whole subtle system and thats why it is knew for name Base chakra. If tree dont have roots before growth leafs and flowers, it die. Make sure that your Mooladhara chakra works well before move on.

Mooladharas "lotus" have 4 leafs and it is located at base of the spine. In physiology, there is place in automatic nervous system, what control legs, endocrine organ (it is said to relate to the gonads and the adrenal medulla, responsible for the fight or flight response when survival is under threat) and muscle that controls ejaculation in the sexual act of the human male.

Kundalini

Serpent Power (Kundalini Shakti) have fall to asleep in Base chakra region. Through some meditation or/and yoga traditions that power can be awaken. When Kundalini wake up, she rise up from Mooladhara through Sushumna (spinal cord) and can rise to Sahasrara if all 7 main chakras are pure. When Kundalini have rised up to 7th chakra, one experience joy, love, deep understanding and bliss.

Purification

Blocked Base chakra makes person feel anxious, unwelcomed and ungrounded. Person like to spend his time at home, outside it he cant relax. When its opened, person feels home everywhere and is connected to his physical body. Person likes sleeping, eating and have sexual energy, feels fully alive. There is much energy in physical body and person feels healthy. If over-active (energy is focused to that center), person is materialistic and egoistic. Wrapped to material things like sex, food etc.

To focusing energy to that chakra, visualize at base of spine red sun, while meditate. Other things that can open this chakra are running, walking, jumping, standing, grounding, finastic, eating, sexual thoughts, sports etc. like that. All things that makes you more aware for your body can open that chakra. Mudra what you can use to focus energy to Base, is ready when you hit your thumb and 1st finger together, in both hands. Say to yourself that "its safe to me be here".

Colour of Muladhara is red so focusing to color red send more energy to that chakra. Use red clothes, watch red etc. Thats also knew in colour-therapy.
