Before and After – New Design

Energized Enlightenment – This chakra mandala design is made of flowers of the chakra system. A design I have been wanting to do for some time.

There are seven chakras that begin at the base of the spine and ascend through the body and end at the top of your head. Each of the seven points are connected with part of the body, energy, emotion and a life force.

The first is the root chakra that begins and the base of the spine. The Sanskrit name is Muladhara, which translates to root support. It is represented by the color red and the element of earth. This chakra unites you to the earth. A balanced root chakra provides a stable foundation and a positive self-awareness. If unbalanced one may feel insecure, frightened, and greedy.

The second chakra is the sacral chakra which is positioned between the pubic bone and navel. The Sanskrit name is Svadhishthana, which translates to dwelling place of the self. It is represented by the color orange and the water element. This chakra stimulates emotions, suppresses inhibitions, energizes your ability to adapt, creativity, social abilities and individuality. An unbalanced sacral chakra causes creative stagnation, fear, inertia and lust.

The third chakra is the Solar Plexus Chakra. This chakra is position in the lumbar spine and navel. The Sanskrit name is Manipura, which translates to city of jewels. It is represented by the color yellow and fire element. This chakra emphases one’s id, resolve, self-worth and how we feel we are perceived. It stimulates clarity of thought, inquisitiveness and mindfulness. It promotes self-acceptance. It allows us to feel in tune with the earth. An unbalanced chakra causes anger, self-denial, lack of integrity, inertia and inability to take control.

The fourth chakra is the Heart Chakra. This chakra center point is in the heart region. In Sanskrit it is called anahata which means unstuck. It is represented by the color green and focuses on emotional energy. This chakra promotes the ability to give and received love unconditionally.

The sixth chakra is the Third Eye Chakra. It is positioned between the eyebrows. In Sanskrit is called Ajna meaning command or perception. It is represented by the color indigo. It triggers the physical senses and galactic attunement. It stimulates responsibility and our understanding and acceptance of divine direction. It encourages us to trust and follow our soul’s path. It fortifies our intuition and the ability to see the big picture.
