A plant is an example, first physical body activate as a plant has an active root chakra example. The root chakra is activated so the untransformed physical body is born. The seed is in an active condition, a plant grows from the seed. In the right atmosphere of space, water, light, air.

First seven years of a human being is the development of the physical body. The root chakra is activated and creates the physical body. The root chakra represents hunger & sex energy.

Untransformed physical body, earth element. Plant is an examples. Physical body has an attraction and repulsion. Natural power. Physical prana is presented as well, example is action and reaction is happening. The sun is rising and the plant is growing, physical prana is active and response is being given to light, water, space, response to positive vibrations. If you create a negative vibration the plant dies. Root chakra creates a physical shape. Stone is an example, for example a diamond the physical prana is very active and action and response is given. Every kind of stone has a different kind of prana. If the physical prana of the stone has a reaction to a prana of human being then a nice stone comes out.
