We start our journey into the seven personality types with the first chakra, whose type tends to be far more serious than the second type and far less ambitious than the third. Just like the foundational physical chakra they embody, first-chakra personalities constitute the solid base of world population. These people are Builders — lovers of detail and structure — and they are in charge of the material and earthly plane. Four out of every ten people are first-chakra types, and their impressive number reflects their fundamental role in human society. They tend to be the most "earthly" of the first group — the ones closest to the ground. However, this also means that — for better or worse — they are the closest to the laws of matter.


Essence

The first chakra is located in the perineum. Its region of influence extends to the legs and the base of the spine. It holds within it the essence of cosmic order and structure. Structure is the very foundation of life. Without it, no life could ever be manifested and expressed. The most immediate example of this is the structure of the human form — subatomic particles form atoms; atoms form molecules; molecules form cells; cells form organs; and organs form the physical body that allows you to read this book. All of these structural components are the building blocks that contain and sustain the life that is you.

On a far larger scale, the divine reality is, first of all, expressed as the cosmos's astounding order. Within infinite space, there are countless structures — galaxies, suns, planets, plants, and animals — that function as containers of the various forces and energies of life. We all know that, to hold water, we need a glass; in a similar way, to hold life, we need structures. To this end, the all-organizing hidden reality created forms and defined structures that could conduct energy and contain life. And for each system of matter and life, there is also a suitable set of laws that govern and operate it. Our bodies obey these laws, just as cosmic constellations obey their own laws. These laws, like those of gravity and relativity, keep everything in harmony.

Try, for a moment, to connect to the sense that everything in the universe is comprised of and contained by structures, forms, and laws. Even this book required careful structuring and a logical framework. If I had written spontaneously, without restraining my creative impulse or containing my inspiration within a structure, it would most likely fail to convey my ideas properly.

To build anything constructive in life, you must define a certain structure composed of a clear schedule, careful details, and small daily actions. Within this structure, you establish the flow of your days, weeks, months, and even years. In your home, you create a physical structure of floor and ceiling, walls, doors, and windows, in order to feel protected and to provide an environment in which you can live and express yourself. In fact, all of your material life is contained within structures.

Complementing the structures that hold all material life is matter itself: substance, density, volume, and weight. Visible matter is mostly solid, not airy. It is, obviously, material enough to achieve substance. That is why yogis of the past associated the first chakra with the heavy and robust being of the elephant. Other beings on earth that reflect this essence are whales and massive, ancient trees like sequoias and redwoods.

The first-chakra essence is also seen in the colonizing instincts of some organisms — for instance, ants, termites, and bees. These insects naturally form colonies composed of many physically connected, interdependent individuals. They combine their forces to work as one entity, busily and diligently dedicating all their energies to the greater good. Likewise, our bodies function as communities of atoms, molecules, and cells, with every particle contributing to the greater whole.

These three components — order and structure, dense matter, and colonizing instincts — are all essential characteristics of a first-chakra type. Now try to imagine a human being rising out of this essence.


Constitution

Builders are proud representatives of the kapha (water) element of the dosha system. Indeed, for better or worse, they are its human manifestation. Kapha energy is heavy, solid, steady, slow, and sometimes even static. It is the element that bears the materials of the body and is responsible not only for the physical structure of the body — tissues, muscles, bones, marrow, and joints — but also for substances like the internal organs, blood, and fat.

Think of Builders as the kapha element in human form. This type has quite an earthly appearance. They are generally grounded and heavy, with a solid constitution that tends to overweight. Their eyes are soft, and they are generally quiet and gentle people. They are also relatively slow, in movement and slow to react. This doesn't mean that they are inefficient, however. They just need to take their time in responding to people and events.

As we know from the need for balance, each essence can also appear in excess in each type. In the case of first-chakra types, this tendency is even worse, because they are purely kapha without a balancing element. Thus, they may easily become overly grounded, tired,...
