Physical Body is the thickest of the seven bodies, the only one which can be seen without psychic vision. Through the physical body, one can articulate, receive and become conscious. The chakra of the physical body is the Mooladhara. This is the first chakra and it has an integral connection with the physical body.
The Mooladhara Chakra has two possibilities. Its first potentiality is a natural one that is given to one with birth; its other possibility is obtainable by meditation. Lovemaking is the natural possibility and Brahmacharya is its transformation. The more the mind is focused upon and gripped by sexual desire, the more difficult it will be to reach its ultimate potential of Brahmacharya.
The following illustrations portray the locations of the seven chakra levels of the Physical Body:
