The 13-chakra system is an expanded energy model that builds on the more widely known 7-chakra system. It includes additional centers below the body (grounding), within the body (core function), and above the body (higher awareness and connection).

1. Earth Star Chakra
Location: Below your feet (6–18 inches into the Earth)

This is your deep grounding point. It connects you to the Earth itself—stability, safety, and belonging.
It’s often associated with feeling anchored, supported, and physically present.

2. Root Chakra
Also called: Base Chakra
Location: Base of spine
Purpose:
Survival, security, basic needs, home, body awareness.
This is your foundation for physical life.

Personal power, confidence, identity, willpower.

This is seen as a gateway to higher dimensions or universal awareness.

13. Universal / Divine Gateway Chakra

This represents complete energetic integration and unity consciousness.
