Our chakras are energy centers that are located in different areas of our bodies.
Each chakra is believed to help balance a different physical,
Emotional,
Psychological or spiritual state of being and it is important to keep them balanced so that our life force energy can flow freely through our entire body.
During today's exercise I will guide you through a visualization to help you focus on each of the seven chakras in turn.
While we pause our focus on each chakra I will share an affirmation with you that you can either repeat out loud or silently to yourself to help you heal and balance each of your chakras.
Let's begin our journey through the chakras by sitting or lying down in a comfortable position.
Straighten your spine and tuck your chin slightly to ensure that your neck and spine is in alignment.
If you are comfortable doing so you may close your eyes or simply soften your gaze to a comfortable point just ahead of you.
Now we will take three deep breaths together.
As you exhale I would like you to focus on releasing any thoughts about your day with your breath.
Allow yourself to become completely present for the next few minutes.
Everything else can wait for just a little while while you attend to this healing and balancing exercise.
