The hip chakras are the same on each side and at the center of the hip, standing sideways, as seen at left. To open these chakras, just turn your attention to each one and visualize it point facing in. Then do the same on the other side. A weird feeling of aching, heaviness, or pressure, is a positive sign you have correctly located and opened them. The hip chakras are extensions of the base chakra, but like the shoulder chakras in proximity to the heart, they are located a bit higher.
