NEW PLAN. With Veda's help, I've been doing some more reading on chakras and now what I want to do is take her through the 7 chakras. Which means I have no idea when Korra will get her bending back, but whatever.

Quotes taken from here

first chakra

The seat of physical vitality and the fundamental urge to survive. It regulates those mechanism which keep the physical body alive. It is the chakra whose main aspect is innocence.

She's got this down.

second chakra

This energy is the center for creating relationships of all kinds. It is where we develop an inward sense of self and an outward awareness of others, ego, sexuality, and family and defined as we work with this energy. The feelings of other people are directly perceived through mastery of this chakra’s energy.

This is what Korra is working on now -- improving her empathy, building friendships, exploring her sexuality.

third chakra

Located at the center of the body it is the place where physical energy is distributed. It is the center for unrefined emotions and personal power. It is the center that give us the sense of complete satisfaction and contentment. Our creativity is fueled by our power of will.

Guru Pathik proceeded with the unlocking of the third chakra, by asking Aang what he was ashamed of, what he was disappointed in himself for. ...Pathik responded that in order to obtain balance, he must accept all the aspects of his life. Aang was the Avatar, and therefore he was a firebender. Aang accepted his duty, and successfully opened the third chakra.

Going more with AtLA on this one. At this point, I think Korra should deal with her failures, particularly Amon.

fourth chakra

The center of real, unconditional affection, spiritual growth, compassion, devotion and love. It is the bridge connecting the lower and higher energies of our being and is the place where resides our Spirit, our true Self, free and independent.

Not sure yet.


fifth chakra

The center for communication, self-expression and creativity. This is where the inner voice of one’s truth is expressed. It is the chakra of diplomacy, of pure relationships with others, and of playful detachment. Speaking with a knowledge of our interconnectivity through Spirit reflects mastery of this energy.

When Pathik explained that the fifth chakra was blocked by the lies we tell ourselves, Aang remembered the instance when he concealed his true identity from Sokka and Katara, stating that he did not tell them that he was the Avatar at first, because he never wanted to be. Pathik said that Aang could not lie about his own nature, and that he needed to accept his destiny as the Avatar.

Somehow Korra confronts the rigidity in her thinking? IDK


sixth chakra

The seat of intuition and direct spiritual vision; it is here that we visualize things through our “third eye” of intuitive knowledge. The opening of the third-eye corresponds with spiritual awakening. It is the chakra of forgiveness and compassion.

Not sure, but after whatever here, Korra will have the rest of her bending restored and be able to connect with her past lives.


seventh chakra

This chakra represents the highest level of consciousness and enlightenment. It is the connective center to spirit. This center integrates all the chakras with their respective qualities. Mastering the lower vibrational aspects of our being we reside in the full awareness that we are spiritual beings living a human existence

This is Korra discovering what it means to be the Avatar in a place like the City.
