Dancing outside the Line
Tantra is an artform........ Practicing tantrics recognize and call on the power of our Universe......
Tantric practice is not a tool to use for selfish gratification, on the contrary. Tantra worship connects you to life.
Living a Hindus lifestyle requires your understanding that........it ain't always about you!
In fact it's about us all. Tantra is just one form of practicing that conceptional vision.
I have drawn our Chakra's in female Shakti representation...
Each Chakra can either be depicted in God or Goddess formation.
Each houses his/her own energy within the Chakra's the energy poles aligned within our bodies.
We call them God or Goddess as a form of reverence to a one universal spirit/energy/knowledge.
It is the awakening of these Chakra's which helps to lead you into the beyond...
The Chakra's presented in Goddess form

Rakini Second Chakra Pelvis Chakra

The basic principle of the illumination of this chakra is the feeding and the overcoming of our sexual behavioral hungers.
This energy will NOT be denied!
This is where our suspicions and mis trustful natures come into play.

The tips pointed upward represents the female within her frustration lusting for a lover.
Color: Vermilion-brilliant orange-red. Virgin blood seeping from the yoni.

It also shadows suspicion and mis-trustfulness due to the sexual urges of man.

But Beware this goddess carries destruction. For if this natural, instinctive nature is not satisfied she will destroy anything that crosses her path.
Third chakra navel the minds first efforts to gain control of the body.
The previous two chakras were the bodies uncontrollable desires, raw, lust.
Symbol: Triangle point being upward.
The base of the triangle is the control your MIND thinks it has over the body.
The point is your primal emotions the ones we are very seldom able to keep in check.
For some trying to maintain a triangular shape is very difficult.
In the practices of Tantra (if you are aware) you are allowed to make your triangle as broad as you choose.
But, only through awareness is the control attainable.
Color: Blue and Yellow. Blue being spiritual awakenings, yellow reflective of your base instinctive behaviors.
Emotion: Possessiveness, jealousy, and aversion.
You feel as if you may never experience the primal desires of the two previous chakras again.
Within this chakra there is a desire to own the person who has fulfilled your sexual pleasures.
Element: Fire across water, with fire eventually overcoming water.
Your spiritual fire grows stronger when you can control your primitive natures.
Sound: Thunder the rhythm of primeval forces, mixed with primeval urges.

Cold greasy fat, and sharp astringent rosemary. The two defining differences are to help you stand in awareness in order to maintain control over the body.
This control is to allow your spirit to grow.
Goddess: Lakini she is beautiful with dusky skin which promises sensual passion.
She is adorned with every jewel imaginable.
This goddess bares a third partially closed eye waiting to be pleased only if you can control her behaviors.
This chakra too houses a danger because just beneath her surface lies our uncontrolled passions.
Kakini Fourth Chakra Heart Chakra
Fourth Chakra heart chakra we have completed our lesson in the controlling of our primal urges.
We are now moving away from our desires and transforming energies into understanding the spirit within us.
Symbol: Hexagram. As you gaze into the hexagram it appears to be either two integrated triangles or six triangles fit together.

Goddess: Kakini she is attractive with olive skin and three old eyes that are all open equally.
She has seen the world and knows the world.
She has four hands one gesturing not to be afraid.
The second offers rewards of your wildest pleasures.
The third holds a whip reminding you not to stay focused on the sensual side of the world.
And the last holds a skull filled with the sweet wine of life but, you always remember that one day you will die. You are not immortal.
Shakini Fifth Chakra The Throat Chakra
Fifth chakra throat chakra. You believe at this point you are complete! You believe at this point you are balanced!
Or are you?
If you have reached this far in the illumination of your chakras, you have achieved more than most people achieve in a lifetime. You however are not complete.
You must now learn how to understand the death of your spirit. In order to achieve that full understanding you must first accept this fact.
That your spirit continues after the death of your body. You must reach down into your spirit in order to comprehend a higher level of that understanding.
