I seen two upside down triangles that were yellow. what doe sthat mean?
Heather – do you mean you saw them in meditation? Or in a dream or vision or something like that? I wasn’t sure if you meant as a symbol somewhere ‘out in the world’ or in your mind’s eye. As a symbol, an upside down yellow triangle is associated with the third chakra – the navel or solar plexus chakra. This chakra is related to our personal power, among other things.
