This Chakra represents the boundary between animal consciousness and human consciousness. It is linked to the unconscious, the receptacle in which the actions and experiences of our past lives are stored. Thus, according to Karmic Law, the Mûlâdhâra Chakra contains the course of our future destiny. It is the basis of the development of our personality.

Its function is to manage our individual survivability. Its positive attributes are vitality, vigor and growth.

Its negative points are laziness, inertia, egocentrism and domination by our physical desires.

This Chakra is involved in everything related to home, money, security and trust. Linked to the secondary Chakras of the feet, it provides most of the energy we use. Closely linked to what we consider to be our foundations, it governs the notions of family, work and security. It is also this Chakra that allows us to feel what is outside us and therefore to experience the physical world around us.
