My latest tattoo project that I am very proud of and feel very empowered by, is the set of 7 chakras. This has been a project I have always wanted to do because these Sanskrit symbols resonate deeply within me as a healer and spiritual being.
To give a little background information, the Sanskrit word chakra means "wheel" or "turning". Our chakras, the rotating energy centers of our bodies, are, if unblocked, spinning constantly, sending and receiving energy. These energy centers receive and transmit energy from within and from our surroundings in order to balance our energetic bodies.
Historically in Asian cultures, chakras are depicted by the lotus, a sacred flower that opens its petals out like a funnel, connecting the structure of the lotus to the function of a chakra. Interestingly enough, the lotus lives its life on the water without ever becoming submerged in it, just as a self-realized master lives in this world without being effected by the illusion of it.
As I progress further down my spiritual path, I find peace in this kind of beautiful imagery.
