Happy now,
Beautiful souls.
Thank you for joining me for this chakra meditation.
And before we begin the meditation,
I'm going to provide you with a little background information regarding chakras.
Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel.
These wheels are the energy centers of the body.
They are spinning vortices of energy situated in a column along the body from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
There are seven major chakras and each corresponds to various glands of the endocrine system and governs the energy of certain organs.
Each chakra is associated with one of the seven colors of the rainbow in seven specific musical tones or harmonic resonance.
They are the embodiment of spiritual energy on the physical plane.
Energy created from emotional response to physical stimuli run along the chakras and feed ourselves tissues and organs.
Like our unseen breath,
Which nourishes the body with life-giving oxygen,
The unseen energy we create can nourish or deplete us.
Taking time to balance our energy centers will help ensure groundedness and a deeper connection to self and the universe.
I now invite you to get comfortable either sitting or lying down.
Be comfortable in whatever way your body needs right now.
Perhaps a pillow under your knees or under your head if you're lying down.
Now I would like you to see if you can make yourself just 10% more comfortable.
I invite you to bring your awareness to your breath.
Take a minute to follow your natural breath.
Become aware of its sensation,
The inflow and outflow of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Realize that we are part of an intricate respiratory cycle with all of creation.
Flora providing the oxygen we need and fauna providing the carbon dioxide the flora needs.
A constant beautiful dance of life.
It's the interconnectedness of being.
The flow of energy that makes up everything in the universe.
Breathe in deeply,
Allowing your belly to expand.
Exhale completely,
Releasing all of the air in the depths of your lungs.
And again,
Breathe in deeply and release completely.
Allow your breath to help you settle into stillness.
With each breath,
Feel yourself sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation.
Now I invite you to return to your natural breath.
Allow the universe to breathe you.
I invite you to bring your awareness to the base of your spine,
To your root chakra,
The muladhara.
Visualize beautiful deep red light swirling at the base of your spine.
On your inhale,
Feel the light expand and brighten.
