Double Spirals

M. C. Escher

The double spiral weaves in one direction and then in the next, a reminder of death and rebirth. 

It is also a sign of balance and representative of the equinoxes. Enjoy the following collection:

Three Steps to Balancing the Chakras

There are three steps to a successful chakra balancing meditation or technique:

First, you must clear each chakra of negative energy. Negativity is represented by a dirty, murky looking chakra. You must change the color of the chakra to the most brilliant shade you can imagine. Sprinkles of white can be mixed into any chakra to lighten the color to the shade you need.

Second, you must balance them. Similar to the tires on a car, chakras must be balanced to ensure proper alignment and direction. Each chakra should be rotating in a clockwise direction. This may mean that you stop a chakra from spinning and encourage it to reverse its direction.

Third, you must charge them by infusing them with energy. This is done by making the chakras larger or smaller so that each chakra is the same size. The meditation and slide show presented here will help you with these steps.

The Root Chakra

The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with the color red. It is the lowest energy vibration, correlating to the physical plane of existence. It is effected by concerns of basic survival and sustenance (home, food, career). It is connected to the urinary tract organs.

When the root chakra energy is balanced you feel: Centered, grounded, healthy, fully alive, unlimited physical energy, can manifest abundance.

Too much energy focused through this chakra brings out the following behaviors: Egoistic, domineering, greedy, sadistic, sexual energy entirely genital.

Emotional and physical dysfunctions related to this chakra are: Mental lethargy, "spaciness", unfocused mind, incapable of stillness, difficulty achieving goals, Lack of confidence, Osteoarthritis

The Root Chakra is our connection to the earth. This is where we connect to our survival instinct, here we can feel emotionally stable and physically fit and healthy , balance is the key part to this chakra and if we have that, we will be a grounded person.

A mandala represents...

"A mandala represents simultaneously what we are on the inside - our soul, and what we are on the outside - our universe, and how the two relate with balance and beauty."
