Chakras: Lower Triangle Vs. Upper Triangle

This is not at all like east coast rappers vs. west coast rappers, to be clear.

The first three chakras are often referred to as ‘the lower triangle.’ The heart is the fourth chakra where everything ‘bends’ as it were. Then there are the upper three chakras, often referred to as ‘the upper triangle.’

Chakras have basic archetypes:

  1. Survival
  2. Creativity & Sexuality
  3. Will power – Core directive power
  4. The heart – Compassion & Love
  5. The Power of spoken word – Throat

  7. Humility & Divinity – Crown
  8. The Aura – Radiance of the True personality

Wahe Guru, a little meaning behind the yoga of sound

*Wahe (Wha-hay) means “Wow” or “Ecstacy.” It’s sort of an exclamation of the joy of existence. Guru (goo-roo) means that force which brings one from darkness into light.

‘Gu’ means darkness and ‘Ru’ means light. So Gu-Ru is basically the transformation from dark to light, which is why we have associated the word with ‘enlightened’ or masterful individuals. We call someone a ‘guru’ when they have mastered their profession or area of expertise. However these words are so much more than simply a title or an idea. By speaking or chanting the word one creates the sound vibration, which awakens the force of the guru in all of us. Some consider this the higher self. It’s the perfect and complete version of yourself informing you in every moment.

Another way of looking at it is that chanting the mantra is like dialing a phone number to your higher self. (more…)
