Description The other night I met with and we decided to do a five set Collaboration together, on the Chakras. This is the stand alone version the text in the border has been removed, but can be found below.

This is the stand alone version without text, and has a higher resolution, and depth.

is a wonderful writer, and I couldn't be more pleased to share this wonderful collaboration with him.

Here is his poetry, as written for this piece

"held fast in father's loving hand, the storm cannot break what can bend.
quenched by mother's sacred well, there is no need to wander.
these ocher roots spread deep and wide; foundation for this holy tree."

Chakra Information:
Element: Earth Shape: Square Plane: Physical plane Sense: Smell Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Name: Foundation Location: Base of the spine Sound: Lang
Nb of petals: 4

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus.
The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Patience and greed are the attributes of this element, survival its desire, collecting and saving are its activity. Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. With her mouth open, facing upward, she is connected with the path of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti (traditional Indian cloth wrapped to cover the lower body) and a green scarf.

In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti (traditional Indian cloth wrapped to cover the lower body) and a green scarf.

Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower (the symbol of purity). In his second left hand he holds the sacred scriptures. In one right hand he has a vase containing nectar, this is amrita the precious fluid of vital potency. The fourth hand is in Abhaya mudra, the gesture of dispelling fear.

The energy, or shakti, of Brahma is called Dakini. She is in shining pink with four arms holding a skull, a sword, a shield and a trident symbolizing the forces of the creator, the preserver and the destroyer.
The chakra's associated animal is Ganesha, the elephant headed god. Ganesha is the lord of all beginnings and is invoked to bestow protection over all undertakings. His skin is coral orange. He wears a dhoti of lemon yellow color.
A green silk scarf drapes his shoulders. He has four arms to serve him while he acts as the destroyer of obstacles.
Ganesha is the son of shiva and parvati. He holds a ladu (a fragrant sweet symbolizing sattva, the most refined state of pure consciousness), a lotus flower, a hatchet. The fourth hand is raised in the mudra of dispelling fear.

For those interested in learning basic Asanas I recommend a simple book by: Ram Dass Remember, Be Here Now In its appendix are simple starting exercises, in a format easy to understand.


Ultra Fractal 5.03, Gimp 2.6 for Sanskrit, and PS for healing the sanskrit.
