Golden Chakra

Golden is the seat of the "Mother of All Things" within our being (just as violet could be considered the seat of the "Father of All Things"). It is therefore no surprise that golden is located at the umbilicus or navel, which is from where we received all of our sustenance from our earthly mothers for our first nine months while in the womb. Its color falls between the yellow and the orange which are the centers directly above and below the golden and it is a very rich and enlivened color like Buddha's belly in a golden statue. The golden is the center of nurturing and assimilation for our earthly being. As such it is not a surprise that it relates to the small intestines as well as aspects of the kidneys. An archetype for golden when present in the spiritual body (which unfortunately is rare to find in people), is "Pachu Mama" or that "big black mama", who Hollywood always seemed to cast as the cook or nanny in the old movies. Golden also embodies the fierce protective warrior(ess) energy that a mother can have for her children. People with golden in their fourth level can assimilate huge bodies of knowledge with a deep understanding of it that would seem impossible for most people.

Golden energy like fire has not been well accepted in our male-dominant cultures on this planet, which is true in general for all the mother centers. But happily, "times are a chang'n" and the archetype earth mother energy is very slowly starting to be acknowledged, if not yet accepted. There are more and more people coming to age with access to their golden in their spiritual level. Our planetary culture needs more of this energy for role models, as girls growing up are mostly exposed to aspects of being female that are missing this important element of the golden earth mother in human form.
