Many “New Age” teachers talk about, and teach from the perspective of, opening the chakras. For highly sensitive people, and particularly empaths, this opening up is not necessary. If anything we are already far too open. Empaths tend to live life with their metaphorical hands outstretched saying “gimme, gimme” to all the stray emotions that are flying by them. The challenge is to be able to pull back and not take on so much. This exercise is about contracting the chakras so as to be more discerning about boundaries and take on less of other people’s energies. We will go through the exercise contracting each chakra and then, at the end, allow them to expand out again to an appropriate level. A full introduction to this meditation is available in my talk “Chakras For Empaths – Introduction” Please join me in our chat group: "Empaths, Intuitives and Sensitives" Also refer to the playlist "Thriving As An Empath: for HSPs and sensitives also" and playlist "Chakras and Affirmations"."

Transcript

Close your eyes and relax.

Sitting comfortably,

Lying comfortably,

Just be aware of the weight of your body.

Breathe deeply and let go to a deeper,

Healthier state of mind.

Start by putting roots down from your hips through your legs,

Deep into the centre of the earth.

Allow yourself to connect and ground deep into the centre of the earth.

And bring your attention to the base of your spine.

This is the first chakra.

The colour associated with the first chakra is red.

It's about grounding,

Security and survival.

You can imagine a red door closing and locking that red door with a golden key.

Or you can imagine a red lotus flower and bring that red lotus flower from full bloom back into tight bud,

Closing it up tight.

Or you can just imagine a red sphere and bring that red sphere into a tiny red dot,

Closing up that first chakra at the base of the spine.

Now bring your attention to just below the navel.

This is the second chakra about creativity,

Pleasure and money.

Again,

You can either close an orange door and lock it with a golden key.

Or you can imagine an orange lotus flower,

Bringing it from full bloom into tight bud.

Or bring an orange sphere down to a tiny orange dot to close up the second chakra just below the navel.

Come back to the first chakra,

The red at the base of the spine,

Make sure that is still closed.

And still connected to the orange chakra just below the navel.

And coming up to the solar plexus just below the rib cage.

This is about personal power,

Willpower and confidence.

Imagine the yellow door being closed and locked with a golden key.

Or a yellow lotus flower coming from full bloom into tight bud.

Or bring the yellow sphere closed into a tiny dot.

Again,

Starting from the base of the spine,

Make sure that is still closed.

The orange at the navel,

Making sure that's still closed.

The yellow at the solar plexus,

Still closed.

And coming up to the heart,

The energy at the heart is green.

It's about bonding with others,

Caring,

Compassion,

Love of self and others.

Close down the energy at the heart,

It's a green energy.

So close the green door,

Close up the green lotus flower.

Tighten up the green sphere to a tiny dot.

Again going down to red at the base of the spine,

Making sure that's closed.

Orange at the navel,

Closed.

Yellow at the solar plexus,

Closed.

Green at the heart,

Closed.

Moving up to the throat,

The throat is about communication and self expression.

This is a blue energy.

So whether you're using the door or the lotus flower or the blue sphere,

Close the blue energy centre at the throat.

Again working up all the way through the first chakras,

Red at the base of the spine.

Orange at the navel,

Yellow at the solar plexus,

Green at the heart,

Blue at the throat.

Moving up to the third eye between the eyebrows.

This is about seeing both inner and outer worlds.

It's about intuition,

Spiritual wisdom and consciousness.

The colour here is indigo,

A deep midnight blue colour.

Use the door,

The lotus flower or the sphere to close the energy between the eyebrows at the third eye.

Again moving up from the base of the spine.

Red at the base of the spine,

Closed.

Orange at the navel,

Closed.

Yellow just below the solar plexus.

At the heart the colour is green.

At the throat the colour is blue.

At the third eye the colour is indigo,

That midnight blue colour.

Again moving up to the crown of the head.

This is a violet white,

Gold speckled colour.

Allow this energy to stay connected to the divine.

A pinpoint of light heading up to the ends of the universe,

Connecting you to the universe,

Connecting you to the divine,

Pure being.

Moving that down to a pinpoint of light.

Now we are going to open up the chakras again,

Starting off at the base of the spine.

Allow the red energy at the base of the spine to open up to whatever level is appropriate.

Allow your intuition,

Allow your higher self to guide whatever level is appropriate.

Moving up to the navel,

Allow the orange energy at the navel to open up to whatever level is appropriate.

Moving up to the solar plexus,

Allowing the yellow energy here to open up to whatever level is appropriate.

Moving up to the heart,

Allow the green energy at the heart to open up to whatever level is appropriate.

Moving up to the throat,

Allow the blue energy at the throat to open up to whatever level is appropriate.

Moving up to the third eye,

Between the eyebrows,

Allow the indigo midnight blue energy here to open up to whatever level is appropriate.

And finally at the crown of the head,

Allow that connection to the divine,

That violet gold white light to open up and allow that connection to the divine,

Allow the divine energy to flow in and connect through all chakras to fill your body up with the divine and connecting down through your legs,

Going down through the roots deep into the centre of the earth and allowing that earth energy to flow up into your body and connect up to the divine,

Allowing that energy to flow from the divine through you to the earth and from the earth back up through you to the divine.

Just to allow that to flow up and down.

And become aware of your whole body and the weight of your body.

Take a deep breath and let it go.

And slowly,

In your own time,

Come back to the environment around you.

Blessings to you.

As an empath, I’m curious to see if this changes anything. I can pick up on the energy of a person just in passing, and within an hour have pain in my head, my jaw, my neck and my shoulders. It would be wonderful to learn that my chakras were too open . And that this will help. I will let you know. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙🤍

Very helpful, especially after feeling drained from interactions with people (even pleasant interactions). This is really amazing to me considering you never seem to hear anyone else talking about the necessity of tightening up chackras. Thanks again, Trevor!

Thank you so much for this—I always thought it was best to have my chakras energized at full blast; it never dawned on me that closing them, even temporarily, would be a healthy measure, not that allowing them to open at varying levels was an option—amazing practice. Funny, my green “door” didn’t even reopen; rather, a tiny window at the top of the door opened slightly. Very interesting and a helpful tool I know I will use often, namaste 🙏🏻 💛
