Welcome to today's guided meditation.
This meditation is focused on balancing the chakra system,
Working with the seven main chakras in the energy body.
Its focus is to teach you how to clear any blockages from your chakra system.
The meditation can be done in two different positions.
If you're working on your seated asana during meditation this is a good time to practice.
Make sure that you use a pillow for more comfort if needed.
Always sitting with a straight spine.
Relax the chin slightly down towards the chest and always sit with your hands in some comfortable mudra,
Balancing the body and balancing the left and right brain hemispheres as you do your practice.
You may also choose to lay down.
If you do so lay down with the back straight against the ground.
Use a pillow under your head if needed.
Move the arms and the legs slightly open away from the body.
Allow the feet to relax down and away from the body and open your hands,
Palms facing the ceiling,
Ready to receive the knowledge and wisdom.
Starting by focusing on your breath.
Taking a nice deep breath in through your nose,
Filling the lungs,
Filling the chest,
Hold the breath and then release.
If the eyes aren't closed already close your eyes.
Take another breath in,
Breathing in nice and deep,
Hold the breath and then exhale.
Breathing in one more time,
Deep deep deep,
Fill the whole chest cavity,
Breathing all the way down to the toes,
Hold the breath and then release.
Bring in your awareness into your body.
Acknowledge if the body is comfortable and make any adjustments if needed.
Notice the outside noises become more acute as you start to bring your awareness within.
Just follow my voice,
Listen to the music,
Any outside noises that you may hear during your practice will only take your focus and relaxation to a deeper level.
Now what I'd like you to do with your breath is start to count.
As you breathe in and inhale,
Breathe to the count of four and as you exhale breathe out to the count of four.
Breathe in two three four,
Breathe out two three four,
Breathe in two three four,
Breathe out two three four.
Count internally.
Whenever you do a count during your meditation practice acknowledge any thoughts that may come into the mind that may become present but don't attach to the thoughts.
Always pull the mind back to the count.
Allow the thoughts to be just like a cloud going by in the sky.
You see them,
You acknowledge them but you make no attachment to those thoughts.
Now let go of the count and put your focus and attention on these words.
As you breathe in I'd like you to breathe in thinking of the word relaxation and as you breathe out release tension.
Breathing in relaxation and as you breathe out releasing tension.
Now bring in your mind and your inner sight into the body.
I'd like you to put all of your focus and attention to the point at the base of your spine.
Focusing now on your first chakra,
Your root chakra.
I'd like you to think of the color red.
Fiery deep red right there at the base of your spine.
Imagine the color red around your body and also inside of your body.
Deep deep deep down at the base of your spine.
The root chakra is your power chakras.
The chakra can be blocked by fear.
Anything that you fear in your current life,
From past,
Present or future may be blocking your root chakra.
What I'd like you to do is focus on those fears and have them face you right now.
See the fears in the space in front of your eyes.
Whether they are people,
Places or things.
Thoughts,
Memories,
Dreams.
Wherever your fear lies it's time to put your fear right there in front of you so you can face it.
I'd like you to see the fear for what it is.
Using the power of your mind start to imagine the fear is becoming smaller and smaller.
See the fear shrinking down in size till it becomes very very tiny.
As tiny as a speck of dust and all you're gonna do is just sweep that dust away from your first sight that's in front of you right there.
Just wipe it away.
Taking back your power and your control.
Allowing your root chakra to connect to the earth.
Just like the roots of a tree,
Your root can ground and grow and thrive now that it's balanced.
Moving up with your inner mind I'd like you to start to focus on the area just below your belly button.
This is your second chakra,
Your sacral chakra.
This chakra is connected to the element of water.
I'd like you to start to think about the color orange around the lower abdomen within and outside.
Brilliant bright fiery orange right there in the pit of your stomach.
The chakras focus is on exploration,
Pleasure.
It can be blocked by guilt.
It's time to look at your life and look at the areas that bring you guilt.
Look at your actions from the past.
Where do you carry guilt from?
Bring that guilt forward in whatever form it is.
Place it there in front of you in your mind's eye so that you can be face to face with it.
Acknowledge the action and know that it's time to forgive.
Forgiveness can release the guilt no matter how big or small.
It's time to let go.
In your mind see the guilt becoming smaller and smaller.
Tiny and tiny using the power of your mind.
It's time to let go and forgive.
Make it so it's so tiny.
It's a tiny grain of sand and you're just going to use your energy to sweep that away.
Brush it to the side so it's no longer there in front of you.
Allowing your second chakra to be balanced.
Moving your focus and attention up to the solar plexus,
The third chakra.
This chakra is yellow in color and it carries the element of fire.
Focus on the area above the belly button and down just below the ribs right there in the center of your being.
I'd like you to focus on the color yellow just as bright as the Sun right there in the center of your your being.
This chakra is connected to intellect and perception and willpower.
The chakra is often blocked by shame.
Shame sometimes comes from disappointment in the self.
It's time to bring any shame that you carry right there to the space in front of you so you can face it.
It's time to look at the shame in whatever form it shows itself.
It's time to let go.
Acknowledge your actions and bring forward the energy of forgiveness.
Breathe as you release the shame using your mind.
See the shame becoming smaller and smaller.
It's time to let go.
Reaching forward and brushing away the tiny particles of shame that are left.
Sweeping the clean into the energy that's in front of you.
Sweeping away the dirt and any remaining shame.
Moving your focus and attention to the center of your heart between your ribs.
It's time to focus on your fourth chakra,
Your heart chakra.
This chakra carries the energy of love.
It's the balancing chakra right there in the center of your yin and yang.
The chakra focuses on connection and growth and many times can be blocked by grief and loss.
It's time to bring all of your grief to the center of your sight in front of you.
Bring forward the pain that you've been carrying in the form of grief and see it in whatever form it shows itself.
It's time to let it go.
Let go of the loss,
Let go of the grief and allow for new love and new space to be present in your life.
Let go of the old to bring in the new.
Make the grief smaller and smaller,
Very very tiny,
Very tiny so that you can use your energy to just sweep it away and clear the space in front of you.
Let it go.
Now focusing,
Moving up from your heart into your throat.
I'd like you to think about the color blue as you focus on your fifth chakra.
This is your sound chakra.
Its purpose is for clarification and expression.
It's where you speak your truth and is often blocked by lies that we tell ourselves or others.
Allow the lies that you carry to become present in the space in front of you.
Seeing them in the form that they appear.
Bring forth any lies that you hold and carry.
It's time to accept who you are and stop lying.
It's time to let go.
In your mind's eyes see those lies becoming smaller and smaller.
Using your power,
Shrinking them tinier and tinier till there's almost nothing there.
Accepting yourself,
Loving yourself for where you are right now in this moment.
Giving you back power and self-love so that you can speak your truth.
Sweep away any dirt or dust or remains of those lies that may be there in front of you and let them go.
Moving your focus and attention up to the point in the forehead just above the eyebrows in the very center of your eyebrows.
Focusing now on the sixth chakra.
Ajna chakra,
Your third eye.
This chakra carries the vibration of light.
Focuses on perception and depth and deals with insight.
The chakra is very often blocked by illusion.
Illusion of separate self.
It's time to bring forth any illusion that you may have of separate self and breathe with acceptance of oneness.
Accepting and acknowledging that we are all one.
Coming from the same source.
We all interconnect.
Holding the universe within you.
Having an understanding that you in itself are the universe.
Any thoughts of you being an I and a separate self need to be there in front of you in your vision.
It's time to let them get smaller and smaller.
It's time to let go.
As you focus on the third eye,
Thinking about the color blue.
Changing the color blue into indigo.
Blue-purple color around and in that area across your forehead.
Let go of the sixth chakra and take your focus and attention to the crown,
To the top of the top of the head.
This is your seventh chakra and I'd like you to focus on the color violet.
Imagine the color violet above your head,
Around your head and inside of your head.
Permeating into the top of your head.
Take a breath and focus on the color violet.
The seventh chakra,
Your crown,
Holds the energy of thought.
It's your spiritual chakra and it's connected to your awareness of being.
This chakra connects you to the cosmic energies and is often blocked by earthly attachments.
It's time to look at the attachments that hold you bound to earth and place them in your sight in front of you.
Look at these attachments and look at your attachment to them.
Is the attachment healthy and balanced or is it not?
When you're attached to everything that you possess here on earth,
Your connection to cosmic spirit becomes very difficult.
The balance comes when it's okay to enjoy your attachments but it's also okay to let them go.
Imagine your attachments there in front of you in whatever form they show themselves becoming smaller and smaller.
Imagine the connection that you have to them being released so that you can let go.
See them becoming smaller and smaller and then remove them from the space in front of you.
Sweep them to one side so that your space is clear and your connection to source is clear.
And now that you've cleared each one of your chakras from root all the way up to crown,
Sit and acknowledge the balanced energy that you now feel.
Breathe and prepare yourself for a new day and a new beginning.
Repeat this exercise and chakra tutorial whenever you feel the need.
Namaste.
