Lotus flowers are inextricably linked with the Chakras. They’re also inextricably linked to meditation and to yoga.
Some Yoga positions that help balance this Chakra are:
- Wide-Legged Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana)
- Tree (Vrksasana)
- Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
- Eagle (Garudasana)
- Mountain (Tadasana)
Additionally, the Lotus was the first thing that emerged from the waters of chaos in Egyptian myth. And chaos was, in the minds of the ancient Egyptians at least, the very epitome of evil. Set, the evil God of Chaos was excommunicated by Horus to rule the desert – and nothing could be a bigger punishment! So with Lotus card comes a sense of calm and organisation.
If you’ve picked this card as a way to balance your Root Chakra, it’s likely that channelling some of that same energy would help.
