Energy of Purification and Harmony

A sixteen-leaf lotus flower is the symbol of the fifth Chakra. It is a blue-green color, with a tinge of yellow. The fifth Chakra is the center for purification and cleansing. This Chakra represents an open heart and mind. An open mind leads to a greater understanding of life. A person with an open mind goes through life embracing discomfort along with comfort, the bad along with the good… the vinegar with the wine. Such a person possesses the wisdom to go along with the flow of life.

A problem with the fifth Chakra translates into a lack of emotional control and rapid fatigue arising out of hypersensitivity to change. This Chakra is the bridge between aspects of the animal-human and the spiritual-human. It determines whether you live a more animalistic or a more spiritual life.

This is why we refer to the fifth Chakra as the Soul’s Gate. Without going through this gate, you cannot move into the realm of the spiritually divine. With the fifth Chakra closed, emptiness of spirit drives an attempt to attain lasting fulfillment with riches and recognition. This emptiness is a message from your soul. We can experience true peace only when we go through the Soul’s Gate of the fifth Chakra . Without pure consciousness  and mind, it will be impossible to open its doors.
