The term "Mula" is a Sanskrit word that means "root," "source," or "origin." In Hinduism, it refers to the central channel in the body where energy flows and is believed to be the source of life force. It also represents the point between the eyebrows, known as the third eye chakra, which is associated with intuition, inner wisdom, and enlightenment. In yoga practice, focusing on the mula bandha (root lock) helps to engage the core muscles and strengthen the body's energy system.
