In Yogic philosophy, the mind is said to exhibit various modifications/processes/fluctuations known as ‘Vrittis’ or ‘Vrttis’. We can also says that these vrittis are mental states and tendencies that individuals may experience.
Each of the 7 main chaktras is associated with a specific number of lotus petal and each petal represents a Vrittis.
If a chakra is imbalanced, the psychological/emotional impact would be linked to the vritti(s) of the related chakra.
