Masochist

Note the heavy, thick body which is proportionally larger in the lower half of the body. The emotional body is inflated from the third chakra taking in energy, but none going back out. This represents boiling rage held inside. The first chakra is strong, and the masochist is naturally grounded. The aura is porous which is associated with poor boundaries. The sixth chakra is open.
