Ik Ongkar - Chakras

Ik Ongkar means, the One Creative Power and its manifested forms, which is ourselves and everything else. There is no duality, all is one literally, in its truest sense. A all prevading presence. The Ik Ongkar is written at the top.

From a book written by Siri Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Sahib Ji (Yogi Bhajan) -
Chakra means “wheel.” Chakras are energy centers, or energy vortices. In studying and teaching Kundalini Yoga, we focus on the eight major chakras. Seven of the chakras correspond to areas of the endocrine system or to nerve plexes in the physical body, and the eighth corresponds to the aura or magnetic field of the body. The first three chakras are known as the Lower Triangle and the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh chakras are known as the Upper Triangle. The Fourth chakra, the Heart chakra is the point of balance between them, where experience shifts from “me to Thee,” or from “me to we.” No chakra stands alone. When exploring Yogic Anatomy, we need to shift our understanding from the need to analyze and separate, to a more holistic approach that recognizes that everything works in unison. The chakras are all part of a larger cycle of evolution and devolution, manifestation and sublimation. The Lower Triangle chakras focus on elimination and reduction, and are balanced by the Upper Triangle chakras, which accumulate, create and refine. Prana, the life force, powers the chakras, by clearing the blocks to the free, natural flow of energy through them. Kundalini Yoga facilitates this clearing, balancing, and maximizing of the functioning of body, mind, and spirit. The chakras affect our perceptions, feeling, and choices. They affect the flow and types of thoughts we have, and the energies we can gather to act upon them, and manifest our thoughts. In all of our behaviors, they affect the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious. Opening and balancing the chakras opens the senses, and integrates them into a responsive network that can relate to the larger source field source field source field of energy from which we come and to which we return.

A addition by me about the chakra's, is that the colours are not literal and are used as a representation. I got this information from one of the world's greatest Yogi's, even though I am no one to judge if he was or not.

I have painted the yogi with a rishi knot.

Let me know, if you reckon I need to move the chakras slightly. Can be done easily.
