the four-petalled lotus The four petals of the root-chakra lotus represent Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chitta (awareness), and Ahamkara, the four domains of consciousness (ego).
The square: The square stands for stability, rigidity, and the fundamental life force. Here, the number four appears once more as a four-cornered sign that denotes the basic life force.
The downward-pointing arrow on the yantra, which is also represented as an inverted triangle, is located inside the lotus flower. The meaning of each of the three points relates to awareness, experience, and the three divinities.
It projects a grounding energy as the earth elemental symbol.
Red: The root chakra represents power and is symbolised by the colour red, which also stands for security, safety, and control. It also represents the beginning of consciousness in humans.
