Chapter 2
7 Chakra’s
The Chakras are traditionally considered meditation aids. The first Yogi’s progressed from meditating on the lower chakras to the highest chakras, internally visualizing the journey of spiritual ascent.
Chakra means wheel or circle. Often referred as to “the wheels of time” or “the wheels of Dharma”, Chakras are first mentioned in the Rigveda.
The iconography popular in representing the Chakras, traces back to the five symbols of Yajna, the Vedic fire altar: square, circle, triangle, half moon and dumpling.
