Names and symbols
This is a guide to help you focus on rebalancing your life and your body. It is not a religious practice. It is a simple way to keep your attention on a different part of that balance each day.
Sanskrit names are the traditional names of the petals. The meaning line is a short translation. Petal counts, polarity, plane, and deity are older symbolic notes. A deity name is a symbol from an older map. You do not have to worship it, or belong to a religion, to use the day. You can learn the name and leave the rest until you are curious. Position is only the count from the base of the body to the crown.
Say the Sanskrit name once if you like the sound of it. The English name on the site is enough for the practice.
