28.Root 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 our will to be incarnated here in the physical dimension. The snake represents the Kundalini which waits 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 artwork 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 pedals which represent the 4 smaller vortexes of energy within the actual chakra.
