Hello and welcome to this chakra balancing meditation.
My name is Paul McCann and today we're going to energize and harmonize your chakra system,
Reclaiming your birthright to abundance,
To security,
To your connection with spirit and to love.
When you have an imbalance in your chakra system,
This can affect your life force energy.
And what is going on for us energetically can manifest in our emotional and physical bodies.
So doing this type of meditation regularly is a way to support you and nourish you,
To lead a life of wellbeing,
Of trust and of love.
So begin by settling into your space.
You can be seated or lying down.
Have bolsters under your knees and your head.
Have a blanket for comfort and safety over you.
Have your phone on silent and out of reach.
Settle in somewhere where you won't be disturbed as this is your time.
You deserve to spend time on yourself to nurture yourself.
And this is not about being selfish.
It is simply consciously caring for your own emotional,
Physical and spiritual wellbeing so that you're more able to shine your love to those around you.
So as you settle down,
Letting go of the need to do and just be.
So moving your attention to your breath,
Breathing through your nose,
Deep into your belly,
Feeling the rise and fall of your belly as you breathe.
Notice the air moving through your nostrils.
Notice the temperature and texture of the air as it passes your nostrils.
As you settle into this type of breathing pattern,
It moves you from that more heightened nervous system response of fight and flight to your parasympathetic nervous system of rest and digest.
So now take your attention down to your feet.
Feel them spread and sink into the nurturing support of the earth.
Feel the soles of your feet.
We have chakras here on the soles of our feet.
So now imagine these opening and allowing the grounding energy of the earth to flow up into your feet.
Right up through your ankles,
Into your lower legs,
Continuing up through your knees and your thighs,
Up to your pelvis,
Right to the base of your spine,
Around your tailbone area.
And this is your root chakra,
The muladhara.
So now imagine a beautiful,
Rich and vibrant red energy swirling in this area.
Feel the energy flowing up from the earth,
Filling up this root chakra with grounding and nourishing energy.
The root chakra represents safety,
Feelings of security,
Both physically or financially.
Also connection to family and a sense of belonging,
A sense of your right to be here.
As you energize this area,
Imagine a time when you felt connected to family or maybe a loved one.
Really sense that feeling of connection,
Of love,
Of support.
Or maybe you would like to see abundance or financial stability flowing to you.
Either of these will support your root chakra.
Abundance,
Support,
Love.
All are your birthright and you are deserving.
Now let's move this energy up to just below your navel,
In your lower abdominal area.
And this is your sacral chakra,
The swadhisthana,
And imagine a vibrant,
Warm and glowing orange energy swirling in this area.
Your sacral chakra represents connection,
Creativity,
Your ability to accept new people and new experiences into your life.
See this magnificent orange energy swirling around this sacral and lower abdominal area.
So the earth's energy still flowing up through your lower body,
Energizing this area.
And imagine a time when you felt completely comfortable in your physical body.
Fill yourself with that sense of physical well-being.
Or perhaps imagine a time when you felt connected and fully accepted by a loved one.
Physical well-being,
Creativity,
Connection.
All are your birthright.
Now let's move this energy up above your navel and just below your ribs to your solar plexus chakra,
The manipura.
And imagine a bright,
Vibrant yellow illuminating this area like the sun.
Your solar plexus chakra represents your self-worth,
Your vitality,
Your personal power,
Your ability to fully accept and love yourself.
So breathing into that space and feel the earth's energy flowing up through your body,
Energizing this area.
And imagine a time you felt secure and confident in yourself.
A time when you were able to fully express your true self and be accepted for it.
See yourself trusting your gut instinct as this is your solar plexus chakra working for you.
Self-love,
Confidence,
Trusting your gut,
Acceptance.
All are your birthright.
Now let's move this energy up to the center of your chest,
To your heart chakra,
The anahata.
And see a rich,
Vivid and nurturing green energy swirling in this area.
This heart chakra is the bridge between the lower chakras,
Which are associated with more physical elements and your upper chakras associated with spirituality.
So breathing into this space,
You might like to place your hand on your heart and feel your heart open to the energy of the universe.
Imagine this area being energized by universal energy flowing down into your body from above.
Your heart chakra represents your ability to give and receive love,
To feel joy,
Compassion and peace.
So think of a loved one now.
This could be a family member,
A partner,
Even a pet.
Whichever enables you to give and receive love naturally.
At our very essence,
We are love.
And it is our purpose here on earth to love as much as we can.
It is safe to open your heart to love,
For that is your heart's job.
And it is your birthright.
Now move this energy up into your throat area.
This is your throat chakra,
The Vishuddha,
And see a magnificent rich blue energy swirling here.
Your throat chakra gives a voice to your heart chakra and enables you to communicate fully and clearly.
So see yourself now speaking your truth with love and being accepted for it.
When we speak our truth lovingly from our heart,
The hearts of others resonate as they sense the power of heartfelt truth.
Being fully loved and accepted for expressing your truth is your birthright.
So now move this energy up to your forehead,
Between your eyebrows,
To your third eye chakra,
See Ajna,
And see a rich indigo energy swirling in this area.
Your third eye chakra represents your ability to see beyond what is visible,
To see a bigger picture,
And it connects you to your intuition.
So allow the energy from the universe to flow down through your head,
Energizing this third eye chakra.
And imagine a time when you allowed yourself to trust your intuition,
Or see yourself trusting your intuition without questioning it.
Your intuition is always right.
This intuition is your natural ability.
Now move this energy to the top of your head,
To your crown chakra,
The Sahasraha.
This represents your ability to be fully connected spiritually and to open to your higher self or your higher consciousness.
See a magnificent,
Vibrant,
Violet colour swirling here.
See it being energized by your open connection to universal energy.
See yourself now acknowledging the spiritual nature of all beings you come into contact with,
For we are more than just our physical body.
See yourself acknowledging the interconnectedness of all living beings,
For we are not separate from one another,
But all connected via the collective conscience.
See yourself spending time regularly to nurture and connect with your own spiritual nature.
All this enriches and connects you to your higher purpose in life.
Now as you breathe,
See the brilliant white light of the universe flowing freely down through your crown into your heart,
Where it meets the nourishing earth energy flowing up from the earth through your body.
Imagine breathing into this space now and feel the peaceful balance of harmony.
As you remember that everything you're searching for,
Everything you're looking for is already within you,
The connection,
The compassion,
The support,
The acceptance,
The abundance,
The love already resides within you.
Realise that at some point we separated from this truth of our being and we believed we were separate from one another and we believed the fear this created was reality.
But this is not the truth.
Coming home to this truth is the journey without distance.
As Walt Whitman said,
What satisfies the soul is truth.
So rest now in this peace.
