If a picture is worth a thousand words then a symbolic picture is worth words beyond number.A symbol is open-ended ;it expands the mind and allows the ideas to roam.Words are often restrictive
I can give you as much information about chakras ,but you are the only person able to do this by inwardly absorbing the attributes ,qualities and functions through active participation.

Each Chakra's symbolically described by a system of correspondences.The chakra's are allocated to colors,geometric shapes(yantra's ) sounds (mantra's),elements,animal symbols and presiding deities. The true seat of the seven main chakras is in the ethereal body.

They resemble runnel-shaped blossoms, each processing a different number of petals,which is why they are often referred to as lotus blossoms in the East. the petals of the blossoms represent nadis, or energy channels,through which energy is able to flow into the chakras, where it is then
conveyed to the subtle bodies.

 

 

The number of petals, or nadis, ranges from four at the root chakra to nearly a thousand at the crown. From the deepest point at the center of each chakra blossom a stem-like channel extends to the spine an merges with it, connecting the chakras with the most important energy channel, the sushumna, which rises up within the spine to the top of the head.

The seven primary chakras, which are located along a central, vertical axis at the front of the body, are of such relevance for the functioning of the most important and fundamental aspects of the human body, mind and soul. These symbolic descriptions can be thought of as a shorthand or code that summarizes the essential quality of the chakras. A symbol can be thought of as a door It remains tightly shut unless you have the key. So in the following chapters we will look for the key in the best possible mode that suits you .
