The Base Chakra — YouTube from the CEC Library

The base chakra is the starting point of our physical life. While we are still spirits, the connection to the fetus in the mother's womb is made through the etheric double, which is the mother's own etheric double. This structure enables the development of the fetus and of the etheric double, which forms between two and a half and four months of pregnancy. This process varies according to the number of reincarnations, how much each person managed to improve along the way, and the level of emotional stability acquired. During this period, all the chakras prepare to be used in the continuation of life.

The base chakra is the first to go into action at physical birth, connecting us to the earthly dimension. It has four bands of energy work. Although simple, it is highly efficient because it connects us to the earth and the higher chakras. Initially, its capacity for perception is limited; it is a more physiological chakra, responsible for basic needs such as breathing, eating, excretion, and contact with things. Its simplicity is crucial to our relationship with the physical world and the consciousnesses present in it.

The base chakra allows us to interact with living beings and energies in the physical world. We can establish a relationship with an animal but not with a stone, which has no perception of the environment. A stone relates energetically but without the interaction of life. To understand these relationships, it is essential to understand energy and chakras. At birth and during the first three years of life, the configuration of the base chakra is influenced by the environment. If a baby is welcomed with affection and tenderness, it develops better without needing to defend itself from the environment. In contrast, a conflict-ridden family environment can hinder the development of the base chakra, affecting the ability to assimilate future experiences.

The base chakra is also responsible for physical pleasure, but its perception is limited. When someone is enchanted by another person, this attraction occurs in a clouded state, without full lucidity. At the beginning of life, as we become involved with the physical, we lose a clear perception of the path and its content. The base chakra works for the continuation of the species in a simplistic manner, generating involvements that can be mistaken for relationships.

In emotional relationships, the chakra cycle influences the duration of passion, which generally lasts from one year to a year and a half. After this period, differences and difficulties emerge because the base chakra's clouded perception dissipates. Although primitive, the impulse of the base chakra is vital to life: it is euphoric and produces pleasure in both joy and pain. This impulse is essential but should not be mistaken for true clarity of vision.

We often become accustomed to finding pleasure in pain and euphoria, mistaking it for joy. This euphoria operates at high speed, and it is important to be aware of this. The base chakra is strongly connected to having and not having, emphasizing the physical aspect, which needs to be seen and have color and form. This perception is characteristic of the base chakra. When someone claims to be clairvoyant but is operating from this chakra, the highest percentage of what they see is certainly hallucination rather than spiritual reality. Therefore, it is essential to understand how this mechanism works.
