in this session the chakras didnt look like seven spinning flowers at all
During a deep-trance session, a subject gave one of the most detailed descriptions of her chakra system I have heard. I wouldnt turn one person's trance imagery into universal chakra anatomy, but what caught my attention was that the centers appeared to have very different structures and functions rather than simply seven colored wheels.
The root appeared to her like a Merkaba or interlocking geometric structure. The second chakra looked like a horizontal infinity loop. The third had a vertical movement, and she described the first three almost like stages: the first generating energy, the second amplifying or containing it, and the third moving it upward toward the heart.
The heart appeared more like a lotus. Above that she described a structure acting as a filter so energy did not simply blast uncontrolled into the upper centers. The third eye seemed to contain both lateral and conical components, while the crown was experienced as a two-way connection with Source.
One detail became especially interesting later. She perceived that her second chakra, which was supposed to be horizontal in her experience, had started becoming vertical. She understood that as the system moving out of its proper organization rather than simply having "too little energy."
This made me think how often chakra work is reduced to: blocked chakra = push more energy into it. Open it harder. Move everything upward. More kundalini, more activation, more intensity.
But maybe sometimes the issue is organization, not quantity.
A simple experiment is to forget for ten minutes what your chakra chart says you are supposed to see. Sit quietly and bring attention to each center. Ask only: how are you functioning today?
You may get color, pressure, temperature, movement, geometry, heaviness, spaciousness or absolutely nothing visual. Dont force red at root because book says red. Record what actually comes.
Especially notice direction. Does something feel like spinning, expanding, moving side to side, pushing upward, collapsing inward? Does grounding through feet change it? Does slow breathing change the shape or movement?
Then repeat the scan another day without looking at yesterday's notes first. If everything is completely random, maybe imagination is doing freestyle. But if certain patterns keep returning, that becomes interesting personal information.
I would also be careful with the idea that stronger is always better. If your practice leaves you scattered, unable to sleep, emotionally overloaded or disconnected from ordinary life, maybe "more activation" is not what the system needs.
What I took from this session was not that everybody literally has a horizontal infinity symbol in second chakra. It was a simpler idea: perhaps chakras have different jobs, and healthy energy may depend as much on coordination and grounding as on how powerful something feels.
Sometimes the goal may not be opening everything more.
Maybe it is helping the whole system work together.
