Chakra Meditation

 

Chakras are seven energy points within our bodies. They are imagined

as orbs that rotate in unison. These energy points affect various

aspects of our bodies. There are more Chakras located in the hands

and feet, but they are secondary to the Seven Chakras that I will

mention. Just as each organ in our body has a function, each Chakra

has it's own purpose. They are each separate in what they do, but

they function in simbiance with each other. I will list each of the

Chakras individually so that you will know where they are on your

body and what their function is. Then I will explain to you how to

open your Chakras, cleanse them, and then close them again. I will

also list some signs of blockage and which Chakra you will need to

concentrate on to open that blockage.

 

 

1.. Base or Root Chakra. This Chakra is located at the base of your

spine. If it is hard to feel the base of your spine, then just think

of your tailbone. This Chakra is linked to our survival instincts and

our ability to ground ourselves. The color associated with this

Chakra is Red.

2.. The second Chakra is located in the sexual organs. This Chakra

governs our sexual and reproductive capacity. The color associated

with it is Orange.

3.. Solar Plexus. This Chakra is located between the heart and the

navel. It gives us our sense of personal power. This is also what we

(in the Pagan community) refer to as your center. When you direct

your energy you will draw it out from here. The color associated with

it is Yellow.

4.. Heart Chakra. This Chakra is located in the heart and it gives us

the ability to express and receive love. This is why when we refer to

love or emotions we say we feel it in our heart, because we literally

do! The color associated with this Chakra is Green.

5.. Throat Chakra. This Chakra is located in the throat. It is our

source of creativity and communication. This is where we get our

ability to speak and express our thoughts. The color associated with

it is Blue.

6.. Third Eye Chakra. This Chakra is located in the forehead between

your eyebrows. It is the center of our intuition and psychic

awareness. The color associated with it is Indigo or Purple.

7.. Crown Chakra. The last Chakra is located on top or our head (our

crown). This is our spiritual connection with the Divine. Kings are

often said to have been ordained by God, which would explain why they

wore a jeweled crown signifying this. The color associated with it is

White or Silver.

 

Now that you know where the Chakras are, it's time to learn how to

open and close them. To begin, you need to sit upright in a

comfortable position. The Lotus position is perfect for lining up

your back, but most people are not comfortable with that. If you can

do a half Lotus or Indian style then that should be sufficient. If it

helps you may want to sit on a pillow or other soft surface. You want

to be as comfortable as possible without lying down (we want to

meditate, not take a nap).

 

When you are comfortable, take a deep breath. Concentrate on the air

slowly filling your lungs and then gradually going out of your lungs.

Do this 5-10 times until you are focused on your breathing only.

Forget the grocery list and the unpaid bills.

 

Now concentrate on the first Chakra (base of your spine) and the

color Red. Imagine a red ball there and when you can picture it,

start the ball spinning in a counterclockwise motion. When you feel

that this Chakra is spinning well enough to remain spinning while you

work on the others, then move on to the second Chakra. Think of the

color Orange. This orange ball is in your reproductive organs and it

slowly begins spinning. When you are ready, move on the to the third

Chakra in our Solar Plexus. There you will want to see a Yellow ball

that is also spinning in a clockwise motion. At the fourth Chakra (in

the heart) you want to picture a Green ball that is also spinning in

a clockwise motion. Don't forget that as you move to another Chakra,

the previous ones should continue to spin. At the throat you will

imagine a Blue sphere that is spinning in tune with the others.

Continue this process to the third eye Chakra (middle of the

forehead) and concentrate on am Indigo or

Purple ball. At the seventh Chakra (the top of the head) you want to

see a White or Silver ball that is spinning in tune with the others.

 

You may begin to feel a sensation of being " high " , really happy, or

just really relaxed. If you don't, then just remember that this type

of meditation takes practice and every time you do it you will get

better at it.

 

Now assuming that you don't have any difficulties, you have just

opened your Chakras. So what do you do now? Well, that's up to you.

You can just relax and enjoy the feeling, or you can pray to the

Deity of your choice, or if you have any blockages (see the list

below) you may work on them now. Otherwise you will want to close

them.

 

Caution: Do not ever leave your Chakras open if you are done working

on them. Opening your Chakras means you very vulnerable to the

outside world and easily accessible to anyone who would like to take

advantage of you.

 

To close your Chakras, you want to begin with the seventh Chakra and

work your way down to the first. At each Chakra, imagine the ball

that is spinning and gradually slow it down until it has stopped

completely. Do this at every Chakra. If you feel a noticeable amount

of tingling or sensation at one or two particular Chakras then you

have either not closed them properly or they need further cleansing.

 

That's it! It's very simple once you get the hang of it. All it takes

is practice and concentration. Blockage in a Chakra can cause you

physical symptoms that you may have had for a long time but just are

not aware of. I am not suggesting that you blame an illness on your

Chakras. Seek medical attention for any thing that may be

experiencing. If your Chakra(s) are blocked then cleansing them

should fix the problem. But if it does not, then it is probably

unrelated to your Chakras. Symptoms of blockages are listed below.

 

Paranoia and defensiveness

This would be related to your First or Root Chakra.

Emotional problems or sexual guilt

This is centered in you Second Chakra.

Anger or a sense of victimization

For this problem, look to your Third or Solar Plexus Chakra.

Immune system, Heart problems, or a lack of compassion

The Fourth or Heart Chakra is the source of this type of blockage.

Throat problems, Creative blocks, or Communication problems

You will want to concentrate on the Fifth or Throat Chakra for this

issue.

Sinus/Eye, Intuition, Divination problems

To improve these you will want to work on your Sixth or Third Eye

Chakra.

Psychological problems

The Seventh or Crown Chakra is the source of this blockage.

 

 

Once you have located what problem you have, or if you felt " stuck "

or unable to visualize the corresponding Chakra, then there is a way

to work on it. As you are in the process of opening your Chakras,

pause after opening the Chakra Chakra Meditation
