7 Chakra Overview


Let us examine each chakra more closely...

In this artwork a rendition of the crown chakra is shown. The crown chakra is the highest of the 7 main energy centers of the body. It is located on the top of the head. It is associated with our spirituality and our connection to the divine. When a person's crown chakra is fully open they are connected with their divinity and the spirit of the universe. In Buddhist tradition the crown chakra has 1000 petals and each petal must be open. The crown chakra is the color white or violet. During meditation the white light of spirit is drawn into the crown chakra and the energy at the violet level (since white light contains all other colors) is drawn from it and fed into the body. The rest of the light energy flows down to the rest of the chakras. The eggplant, grapes, amethyst, and the astrological symbol for Neptune can all be used to aid in the development of the crown chakra. The "3" looking symbol in the middle of the artwork is the traditional Buddhist symbol for the crown chakra. Behind that is a spiral which is the vortex of the chakra as it draws energy into it. The symbol behind that is the Flower of Life which is a pattern found throughout all of creation.

This artwork depicts the Third Eye (or Brow chakra) which is located in the forehead and back of head. The brow chakra is the color indigo and is associated with our wisdom, intuition, and perception of reality. A healthy Brow Chakra means a healthy, well developed mind mentally and spiritually. In Buddhist tradition it is shown as a lotus with two petals which represent the two hemispheres of the brain and the many dual aspects of human life. Coming in from the top of the chakra is what is left of white light energy after the violet energy has been metabolized out of it. After white light energy passes through the Third Eye, the indigo vibration levels of energy are metabolized out of it and it carries on to the next chakra. Blueberries, Indigo flowers, Indigo birds, and Lapis stones are all beneficial for the development and health of the Third Eye. In the middle of the piece, the main iris of the eye, is a spiral representing the vortex of the Third Eye chakra that takes in and gives off energy.

This is a representation of the Throat Chakra which is located in the neck. This chakra is a sky blue color and is associated with taking responsibility for ourselves, expressing ourselves truthfully, and communication. Through this chakra we can express our wisdom to others. Good speakers have a well developed throat chakra. Coming in from the top of the chakra is what is left of white light energy (white light contains all colors) after the white light energy has had the violet and indigo energy metabolized out of it from higher up chakras. After white light energy passes through the throat chakra, the light blue energy is metabolized out of it and the rest continues on to lower chakras. This chakra is seen with 16 petals each containing a different vowel from the Sanskrit language. Eucalyptus and Turquoise are powerful stimulators of the Throat Chakra. The astrological symbol for the planet Mercury, which rules over communication, is connected with this chakra. In India the elephant is associated with this chakra because it indicates the inherent power and strength that can be developed from this chakra. The white jagged lines represent the sound waves emitted from the throat when speaking. The sky in the background is to show that visualizing a bright blue sky can help to energize this chakra.

This is a representation of the Heart Chakra which is located in the middle of the chest. This chakra is a bright green color and is associated with love of others, of ourselves, and God. Here is found our compassion and unconditional love to others. Coming in from the top of the chakra is what is left of white light energy (white light contains all colors) after the white light energy has had the violet, indigo, and light blue energies metabolized out of it from higher up chakras. After white light energy passes through the heart chakra, the green energy is metabolized out of it and the rest continues on to lower chakras. This chakra is seen with 12 petals each containing a different letter from the Sanskrit language (ancient Hindu). The heart chakra is connected with a 6-pointed star (or two triangles, one pointing up and one down). This heart chakra is the gateway between the spiritual realm & higher chakras (crown, third eye, throat) and the physical world & the lower chakras (solar plexus, sacral, root). This bridge between the two is shown again in the background between the sky (heavens/spirit) and the field of flowers (earth/physical). The ancient saying "As Above, So Below" applies here meaning what happens in the spiritual then happens in the physical. To begin one's spiritual journey the heart must be open to love of others, self, and God. The rose, rose quartz, and dove are all powerful stimulants of the heart chakra. "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind... AndThou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." Matthew 22 - For we are all one.

This is a representation of the Solar Plexus Chakra which is located in the middle of the body, right underneath the sternum. This chakra is a bright yellow color and is associated with understanding and accepting your perfect and unique place in the world. In this chakra we find self-acceptance, self-love, self-care, and confidence. Through loving and accepting ourselves, we can then do the same towards others. Coming in from the top of the chakra is what is left of white light energy (white light contains all colors) after the white light energy has had the violet, indigo, light blue, and green energies metabolized out of it from higher up chakras. After white light energy passes through the solar plexus chakra, the yellow energy is metabolized out of it and the rest continues on to lower chakras. This chakra is seen with 10 petals each containing a different letter from the Sanskrit language (ancient Hindu). The solar plexus chakra is connected with a downward triangle symbolizing the first manifestation of higher spiritual energies into the material world. The Sun has a strong healing effect on this chakra. The lion and the astrological symbol of Leo are related to self love and acceptance. The yellow vibration of the banana helps to bring balance this chakra. The crystal citrine is also a powerful healer of this chakra.

This is a representation of the Sacral Chakra which is located right below the naval. This chakra is the color orange and relates to our sexuality, love for the opposite sex, creativity, and emotions. Through self-expression and letting our emotions flow we can balance this chakra. Through this chakra we can connect with others in a friendly manner. This chakra is considered to be the element of water since water corresponds to our emotions. The moon and the zodiac symbol of Cancer (ruler of the moon) are associated with this chakra since they also effect our emotions and creativity. The stone in this artwork is moonstone which can be used to heal this chakra. A six petaled flower and orange are shown here because they will both help to heal this chakra. Coming in from the top of the chakra is what is left of white light energy (white light contains all colors) after the white light energy has had the violet, indigo, light blue, green, and yellow energies metabolized out of it from higher up chakras. This chakra then metabolizes the orange frequency out of it and the rest continues on to the root chakra. In Hindu & Buddhist texts this chakra has 6 petals which represent the 6 smaller vortexes of energy within the actual chakra.

This artwork is the Root Chakra which is located at the base of the spine and is the color red. This is where our physical energy and vitality is stored. This chakra roots us into the Earth energies and physical plane and strengthens are will to be incarnated here in the physical dimension. The snake represents the Kundalini which awaits in this chakra to be fully awakened. The Kundalini is our life force which we are always using, but when fully awakened and properly distributed through the chakras and energy pathways (through meditation, yoga, and the like) one will reach their full human potential. Coming in from the top of the chakra is what is left of white light energy (white light contains all colors) after the white light energy has had the violet, indigo, light blue, green, yellow, and orange energies metabolized out of it from higher up chakras. The root chakra then metabolizes the red frequency and negative energy can be sent out of the root chakra. The symbol in this art work is for Mars, the planet that governs our sex drive, passions, desires, and force. The Red Jasper stone can be used to help heal this chakra. In Hindu & Buddhist texts this chakra has 4 petals which represent the 4 smaller vortexes of energy within the actual chakra.
