Chakra-balancing and thought-control guided meditation script
Follow this step-by-step guide through Saqib Rizvi’s chakra-balancing meditation.
Step 1: Prepare for meditation
Begin by sitting in a comfortable position with your back straight. Close your eyes and take a moment to experience your surroundings through your senses. Notice the smell in the air, the air on your face, the sounds around you, and the weight of your body on the chair or the ground. This initial awareness sets the stage for deeper meditation.

Step 2: Focus on your breath
Bring your attention to your breathing practice. Focus on your nostrils, feeling the air touching them as you inhale and exhale. Take five complete breaths, each consisting of a full inhale and exhale. This process helps to calm your mind and prepare it for deeper focus.
Step 3: Observe and release thoughts
Notice the thoughts that arise in your mind. Imagine these thoughts as bubbles rising in front of you, each representing a separate thought. Visualize yourself bursting these bubbles one by one with a slight touch of your finger, releasing each thought from your mind. This visualization meditation helps in separating your thoughts from your awareness.
Step 4: Root chakra visualization
Shift your attention to the base of your spine, the location of your root chakra. Visualize a beautiful red ball of energy rotating at this point. As you breathe in and out, imagine this chakra energy ball rotating and providing you with stability and safety. Feel the energy building up at the base of your spine, grounding you in the earth’s energy field.
Step 5: Sacral chakra visualization
Move your focus to your sacral chakra, located just below your navel. Visualize an orange ball of energy rotating there. This chakra is the center of your sexual energy. Breathe in and out, sensing the energy building up below your navel as the air passes through this chakra.
Step 6: Solar plexus chakra visualization
Gradually bring your attention to your solar plexus chakra, located just below your ribs. Visualize a yellow ball of energy rotating at this point. This chakra brings control and clarity to you. Breathe through this ball of energy, sensing the energy produced by this chakra below your ribs.
Step 7: Heart chakra visualization
Focus on your heart chakra, located at the center of your chest. Imagine a green ball of energy rotating here. This chakra is the center of your emotions, providing you with emotional stability. Breathe and rotate this green ball of energy, feeling the energy in your chest.
Step 8: Throat chakra visualization
Shift your focus to your throat chakra, located in the center of your throat. Visualize a blue ball of energy rotating at this point. This chakra fuels your voice and expression. Breathe through your throat chakra, sensing the energy in your throat.
Step 9: Third eye chakra visualization
Move your attention to your third eye chakra, located right between your eyebrows. Visualize an indigo ball of energy rotating here. This chakra is responsible for intuition. Breathe through your third eye chakra, focusing at the point right between your eyebrows.
Step 10: Crown chakra visualization
Finally, bring your focus to your crown chakra, located at the top of your head. Visualize a violet ball of energy rotating at this point. This chakra is responsible for your intelligence. Breathe through it, sensing the energy building up at the top of your head.
Step 11: Connect the chakras
Imagine a ray of bright white light of energy rising from the earth and connecting to your root chakra at the base of your spine. Visualize this ray of light moving upwards, connecting and passing through all of your chakras, aligning and stabilizing the energy in your body.
Step 12: Complete the meditation
Visualize your chakras as something external to your awareness, something that you can control. Sense the control you now have over the energies in your body. Gradually wiggle your toes, move your fingers, and start feeling the presence of your body and your surroundings. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, feeling balanced and in control.
