In this deeply reflective episode of Climbing the Summit, host Danny Cobin invites listeners to return to the very beginning—the foundation of who we are—with an exploration of the root chakra, or Muladhara. Symbolized by the color red and connected to the earth element, the root chakra represents security, stability, and our connection to the physical world.

Danny shares his own journey of rediscovering the importance of feeling grounded, especially when life feels chaotic. From early childhood development to present-moment awareness, he weaves together ancient yogic wisdom, modern self-awareness, and heartfelt personal insight. Drawing on the chakra system as a rainbow bridge of energy, Danny reminds us that we can’t climb toward insight or enlightenment unless our roots are secure.

You’ll learn:

• How the root chakra connects to childhood development, survival needs, and emotional safety

• Why grounding practices like sitting in the grass or mindful breathing can restore balance

• What the ancient dance of Shiva and Shakti reveals about rooting before rising

• How being present in your body is often the most powerful act of transformation

Whether you’re new to the chakra system or looking to deepen your connection to your physical and emotional foundation, this episode offers a gentle, insightful invitation to return to base camp—and to begin again, from the ground up.
