Hello,
My name is Carla and welcome to my guided Chakra Meditation to strengthen body and mind.
The word Chakra comes from Sanskrit,
The ancient Indian language that was used for holy and instructional writings in particular.
Chakra means wheel or vortex.
According to yogic teaching our body has seven of these energy points.
The first is located at the base of the spine at the tailbone and the last on the top of the skull.
Each Chakra has its own colour,
Red,
Orange,
Yellow,
Green,
Blue,
Indigo and violet.
When they are all in balance we are healthy in both body and mind.
I invite you now to find a comfortable position either seated or lying down and close your eyes.
Feel your tailbone where the root Chakra is located.
For the next five to ten breaths imagine a kind of funnel projecting out backwards from it,
Sucking in a spinning whirling mass of red energy.
It is a warming healing energy.
This Chakra represents physical survival,
Vitality,
Patience,
Courage and material security.
It strengthens our instincts and connects us strongly to the earth.
When you feel you have absorbed enough root energy mentally close this funnel and move up to the sacral Chakra.
This time picture a funnel opening up towards the front of your lower abdomen.
This time the healing energy you absorbed with every breath is orange.
As before keep breathing until you feel that Chakra is full.
I recommend at least five to ten breaths.
This Chakra is associated with sexual power,
Creativity,
New ideas,
Passion and endurance.
When the sacral Chakra is empty these qualities are barely available to us.
Once again mentally close this funnel once you feel a sense of comfort.
Now proceed in the same way with the third Chakra,
The solar plexus Chakra.
Located directly below the rib cage it gives you a sense of your own identity.
It fosters self confidence,
Inner strength,
Humour,
Spontaneity and warmth of personality.
Again imagine a funnel projecting out to the front and as you inhale absorb the spinning yellow energy until you feel a sense of comfort.
Once you feel this then close the funnel.
Next visualise the heart Chakra which is further up,
Right in the centre of the chest.
This is the centre of yourself and your being.
Through the heart Chakra we feel sympathy and spread love and compassion.
We can forgive others and ourselves.
Here too open a forward facing funnel and breathe in green energy until you feel right again in this area.
Next comes the throat Chakra.
It helps us to express our true selves and what we stand for.
A healthy throat Chakra helps us to communicate with others and build bridges to our fellow human beings.
Here you are breathing blue energy through a forward facing funnel.
When you are ready mentally close this funnel and next we work with the third eye Chakra.
This is located in the middle of your forehead between your eyes.
It is associated with intuition,
Self-knowledge and insight.
Again picture the funnel and breathe in the colour indigo until you feel good and fulfilled.
We finish with the crown Chakra which is located above the top of the head.
It energises many of our brain functions,
Fosters positive thinking and a spirit of inventiveness as well as putting us in touch with our spirituality and humanity.
This time the funnel points upwards towards the sky.
Now breathing violet light until you feel perfectly balanced and calm.
You never completely close this funnel,
Instead remaining permanently connected to the universe by a silver beam.
I recommend this meditation wholeheartedly.
It balances your whole being and gives you a deep sense of peace.
Love and light to you all.
