The root chakra sits at the base of the spine β earth element, survival, the body's ground. Hex 2 (The Receptive) is six yin lines, pure earth. Hex 52 (Keeping Still) is doubled mountain, the body held in absolute stillness so that subtler energies can be perceived. Muladhara is where kundalini sleeps, coiled three and a half times. Before energy can rise, it must have something solid to rise from.
