In the Sanskrit, mula means “root” or “base” and the word adhara means “support”, so the meaning of the word muladhara in this context is the “support center“. This is exactly what the main function of the Root Chakra is.
At the base of the spine between the anus and genitals.
The root chakra has four nadia (energy channels) that put us in touch with the subtle energies of creation, of the earth. This chakra is associated with the fundamental root of our individuality, existence, and physical sensation.
Each chakra corresponds to a color and a certain vibration. Hence, Muladhara has the lowest vibration and frequency, being represented by three colors: red, orange, and yellow.
The element of the root chakra is earth, being responsible for our connection to the earth and nature. It also represents our desire to search for depth in everything we create or have. The root chakra is about feeling connected with the earth and with other people, feeling that we are connected to our family, we can integrate into the society, humanity, that we are connected and communicate with all the other beings on earth.
If this chakra does not work properly, we may experience a sense of emptiness and disconnection from everything and everyone. This might make us feel alone and like we don’t belong here.
The Ganesha goddess (represented by an elephant with seven trumpets) is associated with the root chakra, which symbolizes the minerals needed to sustain physical life. Above the elephant is a red triangle with the top upside down, representing the feminine creation. Inside of the triangle, you will find a phallus with a snake wrapped around it.
This represents the unmanifested energy called Kundalini. Above the phallus, there is a new moon, symbolizing the Divine Source of all energies.
When Muladhara functions normally, it generates a strong will, vitality and energy. People with a healthy root chakra will overcome any troubles or obstacles, considering life as a fascinating adventure worth living, a game or a dream.
However, when there are some imbalances in this chakra, the person will experience a decrease in vitality, being barely capable of fulfilling the day-to-day activities. People with dysfunctional Muladhara can be abusive, depressed and/or deprived of the joys of life.
Being close to the sacral chakra Swadisthana, it also causes sexual disorders such as frigidity, impotence and sterility. Other disorders related to an imbalanced Root chakra are bladder disease, cystitis, prostate disease, inflammation of the hemorrhoids, and in severe cases, colon cancer.
Further signs include:
Root vegetables like parsnips, carrots, potatoes, radishes, onions, beets, garlic.
Protein-rich food like meats, eggs, beans, soy products, peanut butter, tofu.
These stones are used to activate, balance, and amplify the energy flow. Healing by crystals is based on the belief that these stones have a natural healing frequency that can be activated. The vibration of each one corresponds and resonates to heal specific imbalances.
In order to activate their healing power, you will have to use them on a regular basis.
Black, gray, brown, red, red jasper, black onyx.

Excellent information thank you for sharing!
I used stones as I feel their energies which are all different ( light, strong , quick, still...) and I add a volcanic stone to increase their effect. Note that they need to be cleared of the bad energies they take from your blocages, by remaining in water a few hours then under the daylight, often.
Now I use videos of light language ( shamanic language ) . It's trône . Our blocages are mixed so that to cure a problem : confidence, you will have to clear something else like your inner child or your inner teenager , so that you can reach the bottom of the blocage. It's like an oignon, but the more you listen to it the deeper it's clears ( 1 to 3 hours sometimes in several times !)
The karma and the family karma , the galactic karma and the inner child are the big ones.
Then you have the 5 hurts that prevent you from being yourself : abandonment, rejection, betrayal, humiliation, injustice. Youtube : Julie-Sarah Coste-Dhomps blessure de rejet,...( energetic help , you don't need to understand to recive).
I use a lot the YouTube videos of : LnL awakening light language, Marlene Cronin light language, Tracy Radley light language, Quantum Alchemy light language , I am manifest Inc light language, high frequencies light language ( letting go with life is hard ) , Jen Cunnings light language, keleena Malnar light language, Alexandra Dobiggies spiritual healing, Michael Golzmane , Michael Muir Transformational Bodywork, Steeve Nobel.
I des say music frequencies such as Royal Rife 50Hz cure all, meditative mind...
Plus you can listen to Karl et Marie ( healing energies while they speak, no need to understand, the energies work very well ) ( déconnection from the matrix, déconnection from the banking and politic system, etc to free yourself ).
Sounds mantra-like are also very useful : one for each chakra : lam, ram, Vam, Yam, ....
