Which chakra is out of balance?

Twenty-one statements, three for each centre, answered on a five-point scale. Each chakra scores out of twelve and the lowest is the one the result opens with. Answering quickly gives a truer picture than deliberating — the statements are written so first instinct is usually the accurate one.

Statements are phrased positively, so a low score simply means less of that quality. "I can say no without rehearsing it first" scoring low points at the solar plexus, the centre traditionally associated with will and boundaries. That is why the questions read as ordinary life rather than as anything mystical: the correspondences are about behaviour before they are about energy.

You get all seven scores, not just the weakest, because the pattern is often more useful than the single lowest number. Two centres scoring close together usually means one practice serves both.
