Dear sadhakas, I would appreciate the following clarification:

I was told that the cakras, as "wheels", need to be thought of not vertically (as a wall clock, say, or a "medal" hanging on the surface of our body) but horizontally (as a pizza, to put it bluntly), within the confines of the body, with the central channel traversing their center. I was wondering then if that's the principle we should be following in the Mātr̥kā visualization practice. Which would mean that the "six o'clock" positions is literally on my back side, and that the flower, like a lotus, is facing upwards. Thanks. A.
