Our Humanness

A twelve-leaf, golden lotus flower symbolizes the fourth Chakra. The fourth Chakra expands our energy and sends it in all directions in equal parts. It also acts to harmonize opposing energies, such as male/female, yin/yang, and emotional/logical. The fourth Chakra is located right in the center of the Chakra ladder. There are three chakras above it, and three below. When the fourth Chakra, which links the energies of body and mind together, becomes active, you experience a sense of pure love and compassion. This arises out of a balance of mind and body.

The fourth Chakra relates to the human attributes of love, forgiveness, honesty, responsibility, and diligence. A healthy fourth Chakra creates a balanced and harmonious energy of love. It facilitates the balance of logic with emotion, and the real with the idea, helping you to develop the maturity to be objective and unconditional in your love of others. You will give and receive love form a centered and balanced place.
