The color is Green

Green is the color of life, peace and happiness. It is the color we picked for Life Full Yoga’s color. 

The 12 petals (often these petals have Sanskrit words on them) represent the 12 Virtues of the heart: joy, peace, kindness, patience, love, harmony, clarity, compassion, purity, understanding, forgiveness, bliss. On the unbalanced side, the petals can represent the Vrittis or fluctuations of the mind, such as: fraud, lustfulness, indecision, hope, anxiety, repentance, possessiveness, incompetence, discrimination , impartiality, arrogance, and defiance. 

This Chakra is the place where the lower three chakras and the upper three chakras meet. 

The upside down triangle and the right side up triangle can represents male and female energy; the connection between the upper and lower chakras, energy moving up and down. 

This Chakra’s element is air. Air helps carry and disperse. It is within and outside of us. In the next week we will cover poses designed to help us open our hearts balanced with poses to help the heart feel safe.
