Many people incorporate one or more of the nerve centers into the design of their chakra tattoos, and each has a very distinct meaning.<\/p>\n

The following information is broken down into one of the seven different chakras and how they can symbolize an array of different meanings.<\/p>\n

The Root Chakra<\/h2>\n

When the Muladhara is used in chakra tattoos, it symbolizes a connection to material security or a grounding.<\/p>\n

When a person feels they have achieved the balance of their physical body, this chakra tattoo can be used. It also signifies a clearing of any fear, basically coming to terms with the senses and knowing that a higher power is in control of things from here.<\/p>\n

The Sacral Chakra<\/h2>\n

The Swadhisthana symbolizes sexual creativity, having the knowing or primal understanding about their sexuality and being one with that.<\/p>\n

This specific chakra is a symbol of the relief of all tensions, leaving behind the pain of a relationship, the pain of an addiction, or the pain of losing a loved one. This can also symbolize moving on and moving towards a higher plain.<\/p>\n

The Solar Plexus Chakra<\/h2>\n

Known as the Manipura, these chakra tattoos are usually worn by those who possess personal power. These individuals have discovered the power from within to be able to heal, overcome obstacles, and focus on the good in the world. The clearing of all anger means that all that is left is love, and love can conquer all.<\/p>\n

The Heart Chakra<\/h2>\n

The Anahata symbol is one most women closely relate to because it can symbolize the connection or love to their children, siblings, parents, or the world and everyone who has ever spent time here.<\/p>\n

This unique chakra tattoo represents for many love, happiness, harmony, and that unwavering connection to the source. This person lives in a different place, coming from the position of love first, which can change the world.<\/p>\n

The Throat Chakra<\/h2>\n

The Vishudha symbol represents a connection or higher communication with the source, promoting the idea of resolutions, and the release of temerity. This is an ideal chakra tattoo for those who have finally found inner peace.<\/p>\n

The Third Eye Chakra<\/h2>\n

The Ajna symbol is perhaps one of the most popular of all chakra tattoos because it can really be designed in a number of creative ways. It symbolizes a spiritual connection, insight, and visual manifestation that puts someone on a higher plain.<\/p>\n

The person wearing this skin art has a wild imagination and belief that there is no pain, no grief, and no struggles in this world.<\/p>\n

The Crown Chakra<\/h2>\n

The Sahasrara chakra tattoo symbolizes being pure, at one with everyone and everything, and having a unique perception that reaches beyond space and time.<\/p>\n

Those who have chakra tattoos utilize one or more of these symbols to best represent and keep them in line with the body and mind and they aspire towards higher energy and a better balance.<\/p>\n
