 Earth Star Chakra

150 to 300 millimetres below the soles of the feet and locks your
energies into a harmonious relationship with the planet and anchors the
body into the time and space coordinates of the planet. The Earth Star
is made of four major quadrants ? earth, air, fire and water. Each
element supplies elemental energy up into the body?s chakra system and
aligns all of your major chakras. The major function of the Earth Star
is to secure the aura in the physical dimension and keep you grounded.

Your Earth Star goes out of alignment due to some great trauma or
shock; usually issues like: death, divorce, desertion, moving house, etc
 will affect your energy system.

***Atala in the hips governs the state of fear from life in general to death itself.  Lust and promiscuity become established when this chakra is strong.***

***Vitala is the chakra of anger and resentment, blaming others and world for what happens in their own life.***

***Sutala highlights jealousy in our nature; jealousy brought on by feelings of inadequacy and inferiority.***

***Talatala the chakra of confusion, wilfulness, greed and deceit.***

***Rasatala really focuses on our animal nature.  It may be a strong survival chakra but at the expense of the suffering of others if need be.  Jealousy, anger and fear are all strong at this level of our being.***

***Mahatala  is that aspect of our nature where conscience towards others is lost.  Theft is commonplace and holds no moral value here.***

***Patala the lowest chakra of all in the soles of the feet.  Destructiveness, revenge, murder, hatred, torture and wanton disrespect at all levels show this chakra to be active and dominating our finer human nature.***

***It is easy to see these lower chakras in a purely negative light, but like the person who may be told they have a propensity to develop cancer but can make fundamental lifestyle changes to stop that, in the same way we can recognise that we have these feelings and urges within us.  It is up to us to rise above their power and influence.***

**Atala**

The first lower chakra, located in the hips, governs the state of mind
called fear, which is truly a bottomless abyss. Someone in this
consciousness fears death, fears life, even fears God and other people.
This center is also the home of lust and promiscuity. The opposing
attribute to balance this chakra is governed by the right to be sexual.
**Vitala**
Located in the thighs, it governs anger and burning resentment. Anger
comes from despair, confusion, frustration or lack of understanding.
People in the consciousness of this chakra, centered in the thighs, are
always wrathful, mad at the world, even angry at God.The opposing attribute to balance this chakra is forgiveness.

**Sutala**
Located in the knees, it governs jealousy, wanting what one can’t have.
Jealousy is a feeling of inadequacy, inferiority and helplessness.
People in sutala consciousness covet everything, often deny the
existence of God and are contentiously combative.The opposing attribute to balance this chakra is the right to be self-confident.

**Talatala**
Translated as ‘under the bottom level’, it is located in the calves, and
 it is a state of prolonged confusion and instinctive wilfulness. To get
 rather than give, to push others around and pursue materialistic
advancement over all else. Greed and deceit prevail in this dog-eat-dog
state of mind, centered in the calves. The opposing attribute to balance
 this chakra is the right to be conscious.

**Rasatala**
Located in the ankles, it is the centre of selfishness and pure animal
nature. Unmitigated selfishness prevails, of seeing to the well-being of
 “number one” first. The suffering of others is of no concern. Jealousy,
 anger and fear are intense, even high, states of consciousness.The opposing attribute to balance this chakra is the right to be charitable.

**Mahatala**
Located in the feet, this is the dark realm ‘without conscience’, and
inner blindness. This is the realm of consciencelessness to the effect
of one’s actions, of negativity and deep depression. Those living in
this chakra of the feet steal freely, taking what they justify as theirs
 anyway, feeling that the world “owes them a living.” The opposing
attribute to balance this chakra is the right to be expansive and
unimpeded.
**Patala** (*Sanskrit*: “Fallen or sinful region.”)
The patala is centered in the soles of the feet, corresponding to the
seventh and lowest astral netherworld beneath the earth’s surface,
called *Kakola* (“black poison”) or *Patala*. This is the
realm in which misguided souls indulge in destruction for the sake of
destruction, of torture, and of murder for the sake of murder. This is
the realm of malice, murder, torture and hatred, and in Hindu mythology

it borders on the realm of *Naraka,* or Hell. The opposing attribute to balance this chakra is the right to be empathetic and understanding.
