Welcome to this meditation which will take us on a journey through our major chakras and help establish balance.
The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means wheel or disc,
And they are thought to be energy centers or spinning discs in the body that correspond to major organs and nerve bundles.
In Hinduism and Buddhism,
Chakras are believed to be places where spiritual energies intersect.
Understanding and working with our chakras are important steps along our journey of spiritual development.
So I hope you enjoy this special meditation.
Let's start by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
If you are sitting,
Keep your back as straight as possible and your feet flat on the ground.
Take a moment to roll your shoulders from front to back,
Releasing any tension,
And let them fall naturally to your sides.
Now close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Once more and hold the breath for a couple of seconds before exhaling.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
Now breathe naturally and comfortably as we continue.
Imagine being anchored to the earth like the roots of a strong giant ancient redwood tree.
Feel the earth's energy rising up through those roots,
Grounding and stabilizing you.
Take a few deep breaths,
Allowing yourself to become fully present in this moment.
As you breathe,
Clear your mind and set your intention to take a meditative journey through our seven major chakras,
Continuing upward from your roots in mother earth.
As you move from those anchoring roots up past your feet and past your calves,
Over your knees and upper thighs,
You now focus your attention on your root chakra,
Located at the base of your spine.
Visualize a bright red spinning wheel of the purest natural energy.
This chakra is often associated with your legs,
Feet,
Bones and large intestine.
As you continue your natural relaxing breaths,
Imagine that any blockages of this energy channel are dissolving,
Allowing the red energy to flow freely.
Feel a sense of security and stability washing over you.
Continuing on our journey,
Move your focus slowly up to your sacral chakra,
Just below your navel or belly button.
Picture a vibrant orange energy center.
This chakra is often thought to govern your reproductive organs,
Kidneys and bladder.
As you breathe,
With each exhalation,
Let go of any emotional tensions or creative blocks.
Allow the energy,
The orange,
Pure energy to swirl and expand as it gains strength,
Bringing you a sense of joy and passion for all that you do.
Continue your journey upward,
Bringing your attention to your solar plexus chakra,
Located in your upper abdomen.
This time visualize the bright yellow purity of the sun radiating from this area.
Many people connect this chakra to your digestive system,
Your liver and your pancreas.
Help yourself clear this chakra by breathing deeply and as you exhale,
Releasing any self doubt or fear.
Take a moment to feel the warm embrace of this golden yellow energy growing stronger and stronger,
Filling you with confidence and personal empowerment.
Just above the solar plexus,
Shift your focus to your heart chakra,
In the center of your chest.
Visualize a beautiful green light glowing here,
The green of freshness,
Birth and regrowth.
This chakra relates to your heart,
Lungs and circulatory system.
With each calming breath that you take,
Let go of anything in the past that has caused you emotional pain and open yourself to love and compassion.
As you breathe,
Break down any walls that you might have constructed around you to protect you from hurt by keeping others at distance.
Allow this green energy to expand,
Completely enveloping you in an energy field of love and healing.
Now we move upward to your throat chakra.
Imagine a bright,
Radiant blue energy center here.
This chakra is associated with your throat,
Your thyroid and respiratory system.
Let's honor this chakra by taking a deep breath in,
Holding and exhaling.
Once more,
Deep in through the nose,
Hold and out through the mouth.
Acknowledge the life-giving oxygen that nature has provided,
Beginning from the moment of your birth throughout your entire lifetime.
As you return to your natural breath,
Release any fears about using your voice to speak your truth.
Allow any feelings of self-consciousness to slowly dissolve away.
Feel that radiant blue energy clearing and opening,
Allowing for clear and authentic communication.
Take a moment again to roll your shoulders,
In case they've tightened along your journey,
And let them relax at your sides.
Now focus on your third eye chakra,
Located between your eyebrows.
This time visualize a deep indigo light radiating from this point.
This chakra is connected to your brain and eyes and pituitary gland.
Breathe deeply to clear this chakra,
Letting go of any limiting beliefs or doubts about your intuition.
As you breathe,
Trust that when you think something might be,
It is.
Allow the indigo energy to spiral and expand and grow,
Enhancing your inner wisdom and insight.
Finally,
As our journey draws close to an end,
Bring your attention to your crown chakra,
Just a few inches above the top of your head.
Picture the most vibrant violet light emanating from this point.
This chakra represents your connection to the divine and higher consciousness.
It's often associated with your central nervous system and your pineal gland at the very center of your brain.
As you focus on this chakra,
Imagine it opening slowly like a blossoming lotus flower.
As the flower opens,
That beautiful violet light spins upward into the sky,
Higher and higher,
Past the atmosphere,
Into the tranquility and stillness of space.
And there it combines with the purest,
Most soothing white light of divinity.
Continue to breathe as the violet and white connect.
Feel a stream of pure divine energy flowing down from the cosmos,
Entering you through your crown and flowing through all of your chakras that we've just visited.
This divine energy cleanses,
Aligns and balances your entire being.
This energetic rebirth surrounds you and you are supported by celestial beings of light who aid in your cleansing and balance.
They are here to offer you guidance,
Love and support.
Take a moment to feel their energy merging with yours,
Expanding your consciousness and connecting you to the vast wisdom of the universe.
As you focus and breathe,
You will emerge with a greater sense of knowing than when we first began our journey.
Take a few deep but natural breaths,
Basking in this divine connection and the balanced energy now flowing through all of your chakras.
In,
Through and around your entire body and being,
Bringing with that energy indescribable love,
Peace and warmth.
It's time now to end this part of our journey.
So when you're ready,
Slowly bring your awareness back to your physical body as you give thanks to nature for what we have experienced.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take a deep breath once again and when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Carrying this sense of balance and connection with you throughout your days.
Thank you.
