Crown - the Crown of Osiris: Lotus Flower
SA HA SA RA RA
“Osiris embodies the tree, rooted in the earth and reaching for the heavens. This is the path of Kundalini as the spiritual force of nature, moving through our glandular Chakras, from the root to the crown. We choose how we want to interact with this reality by where we place our the attention of our focus. We vibrate at higher levels when we raise our levels of consciousness and transmute our polarities within.”
In looking at Osiris as a “force of nature” (a being in connection with the powers of creation), when in relation to the crown chakra, this unleashes our ability for astral communication, and connection with the energy of the All. The thousand petalled Lotus flower is the fragrant vehicle, which unlocks our senses, and cleanses any static from this energy system, so we can connect to the divine, observe the powers Osiris embodied, and open to receive All Sources of infinite wisdom and mystery.

Ra is another incarnation of Horus, believed to be the “Horus of the Two Horizons”. Like Horus, Ra also corresponds to the Sun, and was seen as a creator god that embodied the energies of light, warmth and growth. With Ra relating to the Solar Plexus, his nature in relationship to the nature of this energy center is a reminder of our “I Am Presence”, and our connection to confidence, security, and systems of belief.

Sacral - the Embrace of Hathor: Musk
SWA DI STO HA NA
The Egyptians believed that the health of the glands was essential to the health of the whole, the hormones each secreted helped with living as a fully activated human. Fertility and reproduction which were held in high esteem, and when all major glands were in healthy communication, higher levels of consciousness and creativity were easily accessed.
Hathor, was revered as a Neter, and personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and fertility, while also balancing the ability to be a wife, mother and lover. She relates to the spleen (sacral/navel) chakra, which is closely associated to the realm of emotions, sensual, and sexual desire. Musk activates our abilities of clairsentience by opening us up to the energies of “feeling” into the world around us with love, light, sacred sexuality and softness.
Root - the Strength of Set: Red Amber
MU LA DA HA RA
According to Ancient Egypt Online: Set is a Neter that associated with intensity and frightening events such as eclipses, thunderstorms and earthquakes. He also represented the desert and, by extension, the foreign lands beyond the desert. His glyph appears in the Egyptian words for “turmoil”, “confusion”, “illness”, “storm” and “rage”. He was considered to be very strong but also very dangerous, but he was not considered to be an “evil” being but rather a grounded polarity to the higher ideals. Set was a friend to the deceased, and assisted them to ascending to heaven on his ladder, and he protected the life giving oases of the desert, and was at times a powerful ally to the pharaoh and even the sun god Ra.
In looking towards Set, in relation to clearing the base chakra, one can be reminded of what can happen when this energy center is off-balance. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine, and relates to grounding, survival instincts, the need for safety, and security.
For a person who has imbalance in the first chakra, it might be hard to feel safe in the world and everything looks like a potential risk. The desire for security dominates and can translate into concerns over the job situation, physical safety, shelter, health. A blocked root chakra may turn into behaviors ruled mainly by fear. Red Amber allows us to transmute any negative feelings from an off-balance chakra, transforming darkness to light, and aligning us to our true nature.
