Sahasrara (“thousand-petaled”) floats just above the crown of the head, at the soft spot (brahma-randhra) where the skull plates meet. It is not inside the body but a radiant lotus hovering in the auric field, opening upward like an inverted chalice receiving cosmic rain.

The Brow Chakra or Ajna (“command center”) also known as the Third Eye, hovers between and just above the eyebrows, in the subtle hollow behind the forehead. It is the inner screen where the optic nerves cross, the pineal gateway suspended in the brain’s quiet cave, one finger’s breadth behind the third-eye point.

The Throat Chakra rests in the hollow of the throat, at the junction of the cervical spine and the larynx. It floats like a turquoise etheric bridge between the heart’s chamber and the mind’s vault, centered behind the thyroid cartilage where the voice box hums.

The Heart Chakra opens at the center of the chest, level with the heart, between the shoulder blades. It hovers in the sacred chamber behind the sternum, where the thoracic spine meets the wings of the scapulae—an inner sky where breath and pulse converge.

Manipura (“city of jewels”) blazes at the solar plexus, just above the navel and behind the stomach, in the soft hollow between the ribcage and the lumbar spine. It is the body’s inner sun, radiating heat and power through the diaphragm’s dome.

The Sacral Chakra rests in the lower abdomen, two inches below the navel and two inches inward, cradled within the sacral bowl.

The Root Chakra, known in Sanskrit as Muladhara (“root support”), sits at the base of the spine in the perineum
