Muladhara

[zankoku_zen]

The Thunderbolt of Indra, The Hand of Brahma
The Four-Petaled Lotus.
Security, stability, courage, manifestation, survival.

Muladhara is the root of all matter, the basis of physical existence.

Through this chakra, you draw down spiritual energy and cause it to take physical form. In this chakra, the three primary psychic channels materialize.

Within Muladhara, sleeps the Coiled Snake, your spiritual potential, and here it remains, sleeping, until you arouse and it work to bring it back to Brahman.

All of your samskaras take physical form in this chakra.

Hmmm. The strongest notes are vetiver, patchouli, hint of cedar, and I get some pretty strong ginger from this. The only problem - there is nothing sweet in this blend to balance all of these elements on me, so I end up getting something sharp and savory smelling.

Probably good for meditation, but not as a perfume! Edited November 4, 2009 by zankoku_zen

In bottle: Extremely chalky, mostly herbal. This does smell like roots. It’s got some florals and spices as well. The incense is patchouli dominant, but it’s a smooth patchouli rather than eau d’ hippy. I wouldn’t be surprised if this has orris and maybe vetiver in it. There is a hint of wood. It’s giving me rather a headache and I’m afraid to skin test it given the way my sinuses are throbbing..
