Square 14: Astral Plane (Bhuvar-Loka) – Journey into Dreams and Intuition
Square fourteen on your Leela journey is the Bhuvar-Loka, or the Astral Plane. Within the Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana), this realm symbolizes the subtle dimensions of dreams, visions, intuition, and imagination—a world between the physical and spiritual realities.
What is Bhuvar-Loka?
In Sanskrit, Bhuvar-Loka translates as "astral plane" or "realm of the atmosphere." It represents the subtle energetic dimension of existence, often experienced through dreams, intuitive insights, and heightened imagination. This plane is a bridge connecting your physical reality (Bhu-Loka) and higher spiritual consciousness.
In Leela, Bhuvar-Loka invites you to consciously explore your subconscious mind, intuition, and dream states, deepening your understanding of the hidden layers of your being.
