Life Recipe 92 Opening and Balancing Your Seven Chakras The seven chakras are the main energy sources within your body.
And as you bring awareness to them,
You help to open them,
Balance them,
Which in turn creates greater harmony in your physical,
Mental,
Emotional,
And spiritual aspects and helps you feel greater well-being,
Ease,
And flow.
So I invite you now to find a comfortable posture.
Close your eyes.
Allow yourself to feel firmly rooted in this place,
In this position.
Place your hands gently in your lap,
Facing upward to the sky,
And begin to notice your breath.
As you notice that air flowing in and out with ease,
You may begin to slow and soften your breath.
Just noticing your breath allows you to tune into that natural rhythm,
That natural flow.
And as you do,
You may begin to notice thoughts coming and going.
Some may be kind.
Some may be trying to judge this experience and just allow them to be,
Knowing and trusting that you are not your thoughts.
You may feel sensations in your body.
As you notice them,
Allow,
And just bringing that gentle awareness to those thoughts,
To those feelings,
To those sensations,
Allows them to soften,
To stay in flow.
So you return to that peace,
That rhythm,
That natural ease that is your breath.
This is presence,
And this is your natural flow of being.
As we begin to ease into our chakra meditation,
I invite you to take note of a feeling right at your tailbone.
Visualize the color red,
And allow it to just be at the base of your tailbone.
Allow that color,
That light to center you and know that you are supported.
Allow it to expand across your lower back and know that it is light,
It is warm,
It is soothing.
Breathe into that space within your body and just visualize your breath,
Maybe even that red color from the base of your spine,
And allow it to reach each part of your body,
Bringing in calm,
Bringing in warmth,
Bringing in light.
Notice as that breath travels all the way from that space at your tailbone up into your lungs,
Your neck,
Your forehead,
And then just release back out,
Allowing that color to travel all the way back down and release out.
This chakra helps balance you.
This is your root chakra.
It's where you find that feelings of support,
Of belonging,
And helps you feel connected and grounded.
Just breathe in that energy,
That warmth of red,
And know that you are grounded.
You are here and now and you are supported.
The earth is supporting your being,
Your presence,
And all is well.
Rest in that kind and gentle awareness.
When you're ready,
Begin to move your attention now to your lower abdomen,
Just below your navel.
This is your sacral chakra.
This is the seat of your creativity,
Emotional intelligence,
And pleasure.
As you bring a gentle awareness to this place in your body,
Allow yourself to just breathe into it.
You may visualize the color orange from this space.
Allow yourself to feel the ripple of that orange,
Bright color from your lower abdomen,
Allowing it to energize and flow throughout your body.
You can feel that nourishing and satisfying urge and know that this is your creativity.
It is bright.
It is in flow and it is satisfying.
As you see these two colors,
Red and orange,
Allow yourself to feel supported and energized,
The nourishment of your root and sacral chakra.
Just breathe into that space for a couple more moments,
Allowing those colors of orange and red to fill your whole body,
Each cell from the lower abdomen all the way up to the different parts of your body.
Now begin to move your awareness up to the area between your sternum and your navel,
Right around your navel area.
Now this is your solar plexus chakra,
The power chakra.
Breathe into this area and take that energy that we felt even lower and see it in the middle of our body and feel yourself feeling full,
Feeling nourished,
Transformed by that warmth and energy.
Notice the color yellow,
Like bright sunshine,
Light.
Allow it to move from the center of your body right around your navel all the way down your legs,
Into your toes,
The soles of your feet,
Feeling that energizing yellow light.
Now allow it to bathe even deeper down your arms,
Into your fingertips and just draw your attention there,
Feeling that yellow energy fill you.
Allow that energy from the center of your body,
Your navel to flow all the way up into your neck and up and out.
Just as the sun nourishes the life on our planet,
You too are nourished,
Getting stronger and able to help and nurture and use your gifts in a way that no other being can.
Here are planted gifts that you are meant to open,
Awaken and use.
And with that brightness,
Breathe into that space and let it soften and lighten you as you move your attention up to your heart chakra.
Breathe into that space of your heart and know that you are love and feel that color of red filter from your heart into all the areas of your body.
Love is your most powerful emotion.
The center of your chest,
Your heart chakra is where you unearth your compassion,
Empathy.
You may feel it expanding outward,
Gently caressing everything it touches.
It fills you with that lightness,
With that connection that allows you to be at ease,
Be free and be love as you were created to be.
Allow that loving energy to fill your body,
Knowing the more love you give,
The more you love you feel and that you have that choice to choose love.
Breathing from your center of your chest outward,
You are love.
Now focus your attention upward still into your throat and begin to visualize the color green,
Like an emerald green.
Allow it to feel like the color of spring,
The freshness,
Renewal,
Healing and providing new life to you.
See that gentle green,
Be loving kindness and brightness that's flowing out from you,
From your voice,
From the words you choose and rest in this awareness.
Know that you are supported,
You are nourished and you allow that growth to happen from that color of green.
This is your self-expression,
Your truth and as you breathe into that chakra,
You allow those vibrations to move through you and begin to visualize the color blue.
Feel that chakra opening and clearing and freeing your ability to express and be truth.
Rest in that awareness.
Know that you are supported,
You are nourished as you allow that color of blue to move up and come out as truth,
As connection.
And now begin to focus your attention on your third eye chakra at the center of your forehead between your eyebrows.
This is where your imagination,
Intuition and insight comes from.
Imagine a deep indigo color.
Spend a lot of time in the center of our head,
Well behind our eyes but let's focus instead on our imagination which is just right there in between our eyebrows and feel that indigo color just come out.
Rest in this awareness.
This blend of red,
Orange,
Yellow,
Green and blue energy and indigo is filling you,
Sustaining you,
Replenishing you and connecting you to the higher consciousness,
Your crown chakra at the top of your head.
This is your higher consciousness,
Your divine flow.
Breathe into that crown chakra and feel it opening to the sky above.
Visualize a bright purple light flowing out from this and know that you have a oneness with everything,
All the beings and this is where you connect and feel that greater flow and meaning and love.
Know that this time harmonizing all of your chakras helps you show up from your higher self with alignment,
With balance.
Now just begin to focus on the breath again as you allow those colors to circulate through your body and know that you are in flow,
You are guided and you are showing up as your higher self,
As you were created to be.
With the rise and fall of your breath,
You feel that presence and know that you are right where you are made to be.
You are love,
You are supported,
You are energy and you are here to do what is yours to do.
With that,
You extend that gratefulness for taking that time for you,
Knowing that as you focus your energy,
You show up as your higher self.
And with that,
You begin to open your eyes and arise.
Thank you for listening and taking the time to reconnect so you can show up for yourself,
For your work and for your relationships as your higher self from love.
