My name is Gary B.
Find a place where you can get comfortable.
Take any movements you may need to settle into your meditation practice today.
We will be focusing on our chakras one by one.
Move your focus to your face.
Is there any tension in it?
Start to soften your forehead.
Relax your mouth.
Loosen your jaw.
Relax your neck.
Let your shoulders drop away from your ears.
Relax your arms and your hands.
Try to release any tension in your torso,
In your hips,
In your legs.
And in your feet.
Chakras are energy centers starting at the base of your spine and continuing all the way up to the top of your head.
Each chakra has a specific color associated with it.
We'll be going through each one and focusing on the chakra and the color.
When my chakras are open I feel a sense of energy flowing through me and it flows freely from my head to my feet and from my feet to my head.
To begin let's take a couple of deep breaths.
Inhale through your nose as deeply as you can.
Hold for one second and then exhale.

Let's start with some grounding.
Focus on the color black.

Imagine the ground or the earth underneath you and your feet planted firmly on that ground.
Take some time to notice what comes up for you as you focus on the color black.
Use this time to ground yourself in your practice right here,
Right now.
I like to ground myself by walking barefoot in the grass.
And as I think about the color black and grounding myself,
This is the image and the feeling that comes up for me.
Notice what comes up for you with curiosity.
There is no right or wrong.
Just notice.
Continue to focus on the color black and grounding yourself.
Now that we are grounded,
Let go of your focus on the color black and move your focus to the color red.
