In Sanskrit,
The word chakra means disc or wheel.
These wheels of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs.
To function at your best,
Your chakras need to be staying open or balanced.
This meditation is designed to focus your awareness upon each of the chakra centers.
The intent is to fill the energy with each of the chakras and clean the passageways connecting each center.
To begin,
Find a quiet spot,
Comfortable position with your spine straight.
Let's focus on your breathing.
With each in-breath visualize a beam of white light entering your body through the top of your head.
Follow this light as it travels down your spine.
Feel its energy collect at the base of the spine as you hold your breath.
With each out-breath visualize the energy traveling back up your spine.
As it passes through each chakra visualize the energy getting darker as it cleanses away the impurities.
When it finally lifts through the crown of the head,
Picture it having muddy color.
Complete this process several times and see your energy becoming a clear,
Cleaner emanation from the crown chakra.
Now you are ready to start focusing on each of the separate chakras.
Throw the beam of white light down to the base of the spine.
Hold this light in your first chakra,
Root chakra,
And visualize it turning a deep red color.
Hold your breath here and focus on the physical nature of your senses.
Feel yourself become passionate,
Strong,
Physical,
And filled with courageous energy.
As you breathe out emanate the color red and feel its strength.
Do this a few cycles until you enter into the feelings of the first chakra.
Again breathe this white light to the base of your spine.
Follow the energy up to the next chakra located right below the navel,
Sacral chakra.
Recognize the energy becoming a deep orange color.
While you base in this color allow yourself to feel a sense of vitality and creativity.
Recognize yourself as magnetic and know that you can attract to you all you need.
Feel your sensuality awaken as your five senses come alive and as you breathe out send this magnetic joyous energy out into the world.
Now bring the beam of white light down to the base of your spine again.
Then let it continue its upward journey to the area known as solar plexus.
Visualize the color changing to a brilliant yellow.
Know yourself as a person endowed with independent choice in the expression of your will.
Feel the clarity of your personal power.
Feel it firmly rooted in the values and convictions that you believe in.
Feel yourself enter into a sense of total independence and breathe this clarity into the world.
Heart Chakra Bring the white light to the root chakra and let it move up to the area of the heart.
Realize a rich forest green color emanating from the heart.
As you surround yourself with this refreshing ray realize you are a totally loving,
Accepting person.
Feel the abundance of life and know there is plenty of everything for everybody.
Awaken to your generosity and share your heart with the world.
Know that you can make decisions from your heart and this will unite both the personal and spiritual needs.
Bring the white ray to the base of your being and let it rise upward to your throat chakra.
Immerse yourself in a sky blue light.
Let your thoughts be as boundless as the sky.
Allow your imagination to carry your vision to endless reaches of awareness.
Awaken to your ability to view the world creatively and your capacity to express yourself,
Your true self.
Awake into your authentic self liberated from cultural conditioning.
Allow the white light into your first chakra again and then let it rise through each of the chakras up to the third eye.
Let the beam of light transform to the color indigo blue as you concentrate upon the space between your eyes.
Feel the wisdom of acceptance of life as it is.
This leads to a sense of oneness with all life.
From this perspective you can see both your life from a worldly view and simultaneously see it from a larger spiritual perspective.
Judgments drop as you simply become a witness to your life.
You are entering into your bliss as you feel aligned with a larger flow of life that is an art of your making.
Be aware of your insights,
Of your intuition.
One last time you trace the movement of the white light down through the chakras and this time let it rise to your crown chakra and out.
Picture a violet glow surrounding you and as you hold your breath feel yourself with this light.
Realize that you are no longer alone with a separate being,
You are one with all.
Feel the sense of spiritual protection as you align with the divine.
Breathe out and send the energy of your being to the divine and the world around you.
With your eyes still closed begin to sense that you are sitting in the room.
Again become aware of surrounding noises and smells.
Feel the healing in its taking place.
Know that you created that healing and you are a powerful healer yourself.
Come back to normal breathing and slowly open your eyes.
Notice the refreshing awareness of now.
Dance with these
