A seated figure in meditation, drawn in outline against concentric rings of blue, the seven chakras marked as coloured wheels up the spine, a point of light like a flame rising from the crown of the head; the Heavens as the central motif, by eye. By eye
Readings quoted
Hall, 1928 “This painting of the CHAKRAS is based upon a number of native drawings brought from India by Mr. Hall in 1924.”
Decoded: every motif is marked, and each mark carries the reading its author gave it, quoted from the text, or says that it is observed on the picture and not read. The composition, the picture read whole, comes with the entry.

By eye The central motif, the seven wheels up the spine, in their rings of light.
Hall, 1928 “The Brahmin and Egyptian initiates, who undoubtedly understood the secret systems of spiritual culture whereby the latent centers of cosmic energy in man may be stimulated, employed the lotus blossoms to represent the spinning vortices of spiritual energy located at various points along the spinal column and called chakras, or whirling wheels, by the Hindus.”
Hall, 1928 “Seven of these chakras are of prime importance and have their individual correspondences in the nerve ganglia and plexuses.”
