The earth element lives within us as the deep foundation of our being, represented by the muladhara (root) chakra at the base of the spine — the energetic seat of stability, safety, and connection to the physical world. Before we can rise, expand, or reach for higher realms, we must first root — grounding ourselves in the present, in the body, in the earth that nourishes us. This is the essence of mula bandha, the "root lock," which engages the pelvic floor muscles to contain and channel energy upward while staying anchored below. Activating mula bandha not only stabilizes the physical body but also awakens the latent energy of the earth within us, reminding us that growth is only possible when we honor our roots. Just like a tree cannot stretch skyward without firm ground, our inner evolution begins with embracing the solid, unshakable earth inside us.
