Basic chakra

The basic chakra lies on the governing vessel, as nearly all chakras on the back side of the body do. It belongs to the eight exceptional channels which don’t rub in pairs, i.e. on both sides of the body. The governing vessel starts at the end of the coccyx and runs upward exactly on the spine. It proceeds over the head until it reaches the inside of the upper lip and ends up at the 28th point.

The starting point of the channel is seated at the spot where the basic chakra is located. The name “zhangqiang” means “growth and strength”. You couldn’t describe the function of the basic chakra more accurately or even shorter. It controls the “building energy”, i.e. the power of growth and regeneration. In the terminology of Chinese Medicine this would be the YIN (body substance) itself. All indispositions of the bone apparatus, joints and muscles point to a weakness of the basic chakra. In acupuncture this point has a special function in supporting the YIN.

Assigning the basic chakra to the water element is explained by its regenerative power which also reflects this power. In acupuncture the point GV 1 is added when the YIN or even the kidney is exhausted.

If this regeneration ceases, fears will appear, like they have already been explained in the water element. Those existential fears result from the relationship to the YIN across GV 1. A powerful YIN brings calm and composure. If it decreases, agony and a feeling of being acutely threatened can come to the fore.
