Level 1 of the platform, focusses on ‘Physiological Life Skills’. These are the life skills that allow us to fulfil the needs prescribed by Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs, at the most basic, and absolutely essential level. If these needs are not met, human survival is not possible.
Air, warmth, water, food, shelter and homeostasis, are all constituent parts of the Physiological Level, and we are going to practice the life skills which are required to meet physiological needs.  The needs are listed in the order of need, in that you will perish from a lack of air before you perish from a lack of warmth.
Homeostasis is any self-regulating process, by which an organism tends to maintain stability, while adjusting to conditions that are best for it’s survival. Without homeostasis, the organism will not survive.
There are 2 complimentary systems, with equivalent base levels, which sit in parallel, to the hierarchy of needs. These are the Japanese Five Elements system, and the Chakra system.
The equivalent ‘base’ level of the Japanese five elements, is known as ‘Earth Element’, also known as ‘Chi.’ It is symbolised by the Japanese kanji, ‘土’. It focusses on standing one’s ground, in a basic form of defence.
The equivalent of the chakra system is called is  ‘Muladhara’, which focusses on physical existence, and is know as the root support chakra. It is written in sanskrit as मूलाधार
Both of these deal with basic needs and require basic skills to be successful in survival. Remember that basic and simple are not the same as easy. In many ways this basic foundation level in life is indeed the toughest.
Therefore, they offer the opportunity to develop the virtues of ‘Patience, Tenacity, Stability’ and many others.
