      Introduction

      What do you get when you mix glowing health, a zest for a career calling, material wealth, happy housing, sexual zip, a supersized sense of security, and all the energy you need to thrive physically?

      You gain the benefits of a vigorous first chakra. I call the first chakra the earth-star chakra because it grounds and empowers at the same time. Called muladhara in Hindu tradition, the original source of most modern chakra knowledge, this is the subtle energy center that lies in your hip area, and it’s the incredibly enriching subject of this book.

      For seekers of a great life, it’s vital to understand and interact with all of your chakras, and you’ll be learning how to do that one chakra at a time in Llewellyn’s Chakra Essentials, my eight-book series. The first seven of these books will each focus on a single chakra. Of course it makes sense to begin at the beginning; that’s why you’ll be treated to all things first chakra in this initial book in the series. Also known as your primal, root, and base chakra, this red-based energy ball is the starting point for creating a good life on every level, especially materially. (About that eighth book—more on that later!)

      Your first chakra is literally the first step on a staircase that leads up from the base of your spine and toward enlightenment. Like all chakras, it is considered a spinning wheel of light, as described in ancient Hindu scripture’s beautiful Sanskrit language. However, the influence of chakra knowledge is worldwide, stretching way beyond the Indus Plain. That’s because nearly every culture has interacted with an equivalent of the chakras. It’s also because chakras are made of energy, which may be defined as information that moves. There are two types of energy, and herein lies the crux of a chakra’s power.

      Physical energy describes the concrete stuff of our natural world and bodies. Ideally, it’s important to comprehend how physical energy works. It comprises your bodily organs, the air you breathe, the food you eat, and anything else that is solid—but more than 99.999 percent of any object, including your body, is made up of subtle energy.¹

      Subtle energy is harder to measure than physical energy, but it decides what will appear in three-dimensional reality and what will not. Picture subtle energies as tiny little pinpricks and waves of light and sound. Together, they form the lattices or templates upon which physical elements organize. Do you know what coordinates the movement and management of your subtle energies? That’s right: the brains of your subtle energy system—your chakras.

      For perspective, it’s helpful to understand that chakras are one of three structures that compose a greater subtle energy system. Your physical body’s anatomy is made of three basic structures: your organs, channels, and fields. Your subtle body’s anatomy is too; besides the chakras, your energy anatomy also includes channels and fields. I will share a few words about these now because they’ll show up later in this book.

      There are two types of subtle channels linked to the chakras: the meridians and the nadis. Meridians flow through the connective tissue and distribute subtle energy through the body. They are best known in Asian medical systems. The nadis also stream through the physical body but are mainly equivalent to your nerves. They will be highlighted in this book because the most important nadis interface with your chakras.

      As well, every chakra creates its own field of energy. Altogether, these auric fields compose the greater auric field. Each emanation circles the body, interweaving among the others, to surround you in a protective field of light and sound. You’ll learn a little about the first auric field in this book since it’s produced by the first chakra.

      Overall, there are seven in-body chakras and five found outside the body. Like the other six in-body chakras, your first chakra anchors in the spine. As every chakra does, no matter its location, your root chakra regulates specific physical, psychological, and spiritual functions. As with all the chakras, your first chakra is a land unto itself. To truly plumb its depths, it’s imperative to understand it in its totality.

      You might wonder why I work with a twelve-chakra system. I developed this model decades ago based on chakras I saw as a child, followed by research.

      When I was young, I didn’t know that the balls of light and sound I saw and heard emanating from and floating around people and animals were called chakras. Norwegian Lutherans like me didn’t exactly use Sanskrit terms for such anomalies, but I knew they were important.

      They changed hue and tone with my loved ones’ moods. These fascinating orbs were so instructive that I often gauged my own actions by what was happening with their coloration. If my mom gave off a lot of muddy red energy, I stayed out of her way. It meant that she was mad and might take it out on me. If my dad came home from work shining with sunny yellow light, I knew he’d play with me. If the yellow was muddy? I’d go to my room and do my own thing.

      Eventually, I pursued further knowledge about these energy centers and related concepts through a decades-long odyssey. I worked with healers and shamans in Belize, Peru, Morocco, Venezuela, Russia, Costa Rica, the British Isles, and other places where indigenous cultures were keeping alive knowledge about energy, healing, intuition, spirits, and energetic anatomies. I studied spiritual and scientific tracts and worked with my own clients and students. I also discovered that chakra systems around the world had various numbers of chakras or other subtle energy bodies numbering anywhere between three and dozens. Along the way, I discovered that there was nothing universal about a seven-chakra system.

      Why has the seven-chakra system become standard? It
