Art Summary.
The Base 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.
This chakra has four petals, around a square containing a down-ward-pointing triangle.
In this image I used garnet crystal as this is associated with this chakra. Garnet also helps to purify and balance energy, its also a good protective stone and was used as a protective talisman.

Art Summary.
This chakra has the ability to see other than the eyes,
It is the centre of divine wisdom, intuition (sixth sense) the ancients believed this chakra to be the seat of the soul, it acts like a gateway to knowledge and expanded consciousness. It is here where the ida and pingal the spiraling life's currants meet.
Everything has a positive and a negative, or the yin and the yang, or day verses night, it is here when we meet at that resting place between the two we find a stillness and bliss which is known as shushumna.
It is here movement stops and the energy flows towards the sacred light of the divine, as we rest here in this inner space it is a time of great healing where we can clear our negative thoughts from past present and future. We can renew and arise from limitations and ascend towards liberation.
This lotus flower has 2 petal which represent eyes of the meeting serpent of energy, which is around a circle containing a downward triangle. This chakra is situated slightly above and in-between the eyes.
In the circle I have depicted a cosmic like energy, and I have embedded Amethyst and Azurite. Azurite guides psychic and intuitive development.
It cleanses and stimulates the third eye, its great for meditation and channelling.
I use Amethyst as it is a powerful healing stone and adds protection while meditating on the third eye, plus its great for spiritual vibration.

Egyptian chakra system - Nefertum is the crown chakra lotus god.
Art Summary.
The Crown chakra lies at the top of the head, it is home to our pure spirit, this is where we become one with the divine.
As we go through our darkest times, and tragic things happens, and when we have been disillusioned by material gains, we search for something to answer our calls, this is when we start to look within for the answers we seek.
When we find that inner peace we become whole again. ‘To simply be’ A feeling of oneness.
The element for this chakra is thought to be cosmic energy, it's meaning is thousand fold, hence the lotus flower petals are a thousand. The crystals I have embedded into this picture are clear quartz and amethyst.
Clear quartz as it is the most powerful of crystals and an energy amplifier on the planet. Quartz is a master healer and can be used for any condition.
And amethyst for its powerful protection when working high spiritual vibration the its love energy. </poem>
