This is a brief discussion about what motivated the artist to paint these meditative Chakra art pieces and what do the repeating symbols mean.
"I painted this series to express the feeling I have for each chakra. Each piece contain symbols such as deep red lines for universal laws, or bright orange-red lines for human societal laws. The boxy shape containing all but Inspiration represents our own boundaries we construct to keep us from going mad. The chakras help you live your life as close to your truth as possible. You can feel different zones in your body react to different situations. The rest of this discussion is centered around my personal beliefs of how chakras work within your body through life."

I believe you are born with the Root chakra fully engaged. It's your family and symbolically your baptism.
As your second chakra develops, you develop respect for friends and become creative and sexually animated. You also start enjoying money... before your work ethic comes into force in the third chakra.
It is your third chakra that resonates with with your sense of self respect. This usually happens when by the time you leave high school. You no longer need to depend upon your friends for a way of being. You can look inside for your own idea of how to be and who you are.
The fourth chakra, repeats what we see in physical life; it is divine love and is the conduit between the physical, time and distance based chakras to the non-physical, time-independent chakras. In other words, you cannot grow spiritually without going through love.
The fifth chakra is will power, grace and judgment, your voice. Think of how people grasp at their necks when they are shocked by a behavior. The extreme judgmental feeling of, “Why I never!” goes hand-in-hand with clutching your throat, or the tennis ball lodged in your throat when it is more personal – all your fifth chakra center. This judgment is counter-balanced by Grace. Your willpower is centered here too. Think of the devil and the angel on your shoulders – throat level. This is all the same.
The sixth chakra is your intelligence, your vision. As you continue developing, you come to a place where you can envision a new idea, becoming a creative and a visionary. This comes with balance and grounding through all the preceding chakras. You no longer only parrot party lines and the family mantra. You have your own ideas steeped in self-respect and judgment. You seek peers who are in line with your own vision.
The seventh chakra is the Crown chakra, the connection to the light of Universal energy; pure being; the I am I. This Chakra, when in alignment, makes you feel at one with the universe. You bring your exterior and interior lives into harmony. You are totally aware of your true self. This is the energy center of Divine purpose and destiny.
