The root chakra is located at the base of the spine where the snake, the kundalini, is coiled
three and one half times when at rest. This is the chakra of manifestation and is associated with
grounding, survival and beginnings. There are many kundalini sites on the web. The following
are interesting and offer links to other resources: the Kundalini Yoga organization and a
personal kundalini experience. Numerous books have been written on the subject including:
"Kundalini Awakening A Gentle Guide to Chakra Activation and Spiritual Growth" by John Selby
and "Wheels of Light" by Rosalyn Bruyere.
According to Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama in Theories of the Chakras, when the root chakra is in the
process of awakening, the area around the navel feels filled with energy and there can be a
sensation of tremendous heat. When meditating on this chakra, often a disc of vaircolored light
(red, blue and gold) is seen in the abdomen or at the third eye level. Additionally, you may
experience enriched emotions, increased sensitivity, be more emphatic and better able to
control your emotions.

The heart chakra is located in the heart area and is the vortex of balance, love, compassion,
healing, and unity. The heart is the termination point of the sacred spiral, the intersection point
of the body, the center point, the balance point. According to the Upanishads it is "When all the
knots of the heart are unloosened, then even here in this human birth, the mortal becomes
immortal. This is the whole teaching of the scriptures." Anodea Judith in "Wheels of Life"
indicates that understanding and control of the breath are required to open the heart chakra.
When the heart chakra is beginning to open, Dr. Motoyama indicates in his book Theories of the
Chakras, that there is often pain in the front of the chest or irregular function of the heart, like an
accelerated pulse. When meditating, a disc of deep vermillion or golden light is often preceived
on front of the heart or the third eye.
