The 7 Portkeys

Published by lotustemple on

The Seven Portkeys are Portals into Your Inner Self.

Arranged throughout the Temple Hall, the seven Portkeys epitomise the different ways that the “call for transformation” materialises itself in physical reality, as an opportunity… a door… a portal… into other dimensions of the self.

Each Portkey comprises a Head and a Pedestal. The Heads represent the major geometric solids; the Pedestals represent the major energy centers in our bodies, known to many as “chakras,” that contribute to our perception of reality.

In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in our bodies. The seven main chakras are aligned along the spinal column and each correspond to specific organs and glands within the body. When all of our chakras are open or balanced, harmony exists between the physical body, mind, and spirit. When a chakra is blocked or disrupted, our life energy also gets blocked, which can cause several problems in our lives, including our physical health, emotional health, and mental health. 

The seven Portkeys reflect the properties of these seven chakras. Each Portkey is made of a particular combination of crystals and carries specific healing frequencies and energetic patterns. Each one has its own nature and personality, characterized by its:

  • colour
  • gemstone
  • geometrical shape
  • soundscape comprising solfeggio notes and tones

When you enter the Temple Hall, let your intuition guide you to the Portkey that resonates most with you… Feel which colour, shape, and sound you gravitate towards, identify with, and want to engage with.

What is your choice trying to tell you?

Root Chakra

I am home to “primal” energies: survival, grounding, and security. I allow you to feel secure and grounded in your own body. I am the starting point for aligning your seven energy centres in your body and must be healed first before any of the higher chakras can be unblocked and harmonised.

When I am not aligned, or in harmony with the other Chakras, you might experience a sense of depression, anxiety, and frustration, even fear, but also excessive stubbornness, competitiveness, need to control, and physical discomfort. 

My Portkey is positioned towards the South of the Temple, infuses the Earth element, and has a Head in the shape of a Hexahedron with the colors of red and obsidian. My soundscape comprises C-notes.

Affirmation: I deserve my own place to exist in freedom.

Sacral Chakra

I am home to pleasure, creativity, sense of Self, relationships, sensuality, and procreation. I am connected to your unconscious and to your emotions. When I am not aligned, or in harmony with the other Chakras, you might experience fear, especially the fear of death, and guilt.

My Portkey is positioned towards the West of the Temple, infuses the Water element, and has a Head in the shape of an Icosahedron with the colors of orange and golden tiger eye. My soundscape comprises D-notes.

Affirmation: I am allowed to create my own space and my own life.

Solar Plexus Chakra

I govern personality, ego, and identity, as well as personal freedom, choice, and authenticity. I gather and spread the energy of the lower three chakras towards the higher chakras. When I am in balance and harmony, you experience confidence, self-motivation, and sense of purpose; otherwise, submission, passivity, and denial might extinguish my lively fire!

My Portkey is positioned towards the West of the Temple, infuses the Fire element, and has a Head in the shape of a Tetrahedron with the colors of yellow and amber. My soundscape comprises E-notes.

Affirmation: I allow myself to be strong and stand up for myself.

Heart Chakra

I am home to compassion, empathy, love, and forgiveness. I am connected physically to the sense of touch and emotional feelings. I bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds. When I am in in healthy alignment, you will feel surrounded by love, compassion, and joy and connected to the world around you. You will feel open to all experiences in life, and it will feel like challenges, especially in relationships, flow through you and are resolved with ease. When I am imbalanced, I can create co-dependency, manipulative behaviors, feeling of unworthiness, and an inability to trust yourself or others.

My Portkey is positioned towards the North of the Temple, infuses the Air element, and has a Head in the shape of a Stellated Dodecahedron with the colors of emerald, amazonite, green jade, and malachite. My soundscape comprises F-notes.

Affirmation: I allow myself to feel. My emotions are valid and right.

Throat Chakra

I am home to communication, self-expression, and the ability to speak your personal truth. I am the path of communication between the lower chakras and the higher chakras. When I am blocked or misaligned, you may have issues with creativity, communication, self-expression, speaking up for yourself, and asserting your boundaries.

My Portkey is positioned towards the East of the Temple, infuses the Ether element, and has a Head in the shape of a Dodecahedron with the colors of turquoise, blue lace agate, and aquamarine. My soundscape comprises G-notes.

Affirmation: I am allowed to speak my truth. I deserve to be heard.

Third Eye Chakra

I am your centre of perception, consciousness, and intuition. When I am awakened, consciousness is increased, and I can help you transcend to higher realms. I am home to clairvoyance and allow access to realms beyond the five senses. When I am in balance, you are able to tune into and trust your intuition and imagination. You see your life with clarity, self-awareness, and emotional balance. Without the guidance of your inner wisdom, you may be unable to look beyond immediate problems and your own opinions. Thus when I am out of balance, you may have difficulty seeing the bigger picture. You may feel mentally foggy, anxious, or depressed.

My Portkey is positioned towards the East of the Temple, infuses the Air element, and has a Head in the shape of an Octahedron (Merkaba) with the colors of indigo, sodalite, and lapis lazuli. My soundscape comprises A-notes.

Affirmation: I have my own dreams and aspirations.

Crown Chakra

I give access to higher states of consciousness and connect you with all that is universal. My Sanskrit name “Sahasrara” translates as “Thousand petals.” When I am awakened, you will have a higher sense of intuition that can often come with dizziness. The spiritual transformation that follows my awakening may cause fear and confusion, as you will begin to feel detached from others. Your dreams become more vivid when I open. You may experience a surge of the subtle life-force energy (or prana) moving in and out of the heart. You will feel immense joy, compassion, and bliss. When I am out of balance, you can feel disconnected from the world, each other, nature, and sometimes even question your purpose in life.

My Portkey is positioned at the Centre of the Temple, infuses the cosmos element, and has a Head in the shape of a Sphere with the colors of purple, amethyst, and labradorite. My soundscape comprises B-notes.

Affirmation: I allow myself to heal and be healed.
