The Chakras are Part of Your Energetic Body

You are composed of a physical and an energetic body. Your energetic body consists of your soul, your Higher Self, and your Chakras. We typically conceptualize the chakras as circular points of light fixed closely along your spine. Each chakra is conceptualized as a different color of the rainbow spectrum. The first chakra, at the base of the spine is red, and then up the spine each chakra follows the rainbow color scheme of then a yellow orb of light, then green, blue, purple, and then on top of the head - a clear bright white light.

Typically the chakras are visualized as being circular. I usually visualize them as the size of an orange or grapefruit and each one is the same size. The chakras are also transparent (not opaque) and clear - no blemishes. They are also aligned - they are lined up from bottom to top in a straight line. These parameters are the goal in a meditation - you meditate and visualize the chakras and if they are not circular, not clear, not balanced, or not aligned, you in your meditation you make efforts to modify the chakras to display how you want them to be (clear, balanced, aligned). 

The reason you want to do the chakra meditation is to clear, balance, and align your chakras so that your inner energetic self becomes aligned with your true nature - your true self. With this clarity, the energies, feelings, beliefs, expectations that don't match your true self are more easily left behind because it doesn't match your real self and real needs. This type of tweaking helps us match our own inner energy with the energies that align with our true nature. The result is that we more automatically starts making choices that are aligned with a life path that is the same energetic frequency of our life purpose.

Here is the Chakra Meditation:

1. Start with loose and free fitting clothes. The chakra points should be free and clear of pressure. 

2. Sit in a position that you feel is beneficial.  This can be in a chair or on the floor.  You do not need to be in a lotus style of sitting.  The choice is up to you.  There is no right or wrong way to sit.

3. You can close your eyes or keep your eyes open.  However you find the easiest method to stay focused on the meditation.

4. Take a slow deep breath in and release it slowly.  Take another deep breath in and then release it slowly.  Go through a grounding exercise to connect with the earth. When ready, focus your thoughts to bring the energies of the earth up and to the first chakra located at the base of the spine. 

5. Visualize the first chakra. View it as an orb - a circular condensation of subtle spiritual energy about the size of an orange or grapefruit. Visualize it as a clear vibrant transparent red. If you don't see it as a circular, direct your thoughts to make it a round circular shape. If in your mind it is not a transparent red color, use your mind to make this chakra a clear transparent red. If there are blemishes, use your mind to elminate any blemishes or irregularities. Now, activate your first chakra so that you can sense and feel its energy. Notice how it feels and reacts with your entire energetic self. When ready, change your focus and intention to move to the next chakra up the spine.

6. Now focus your mind and thoughts on your 2nd chakra which is right above your first chakra.  Visualize the color orange, the clarity (is it clear, opaque, or a combination of such), the shape, and the energy or energy patterns associated with this chakra. If it is not clear or balanced or aligned, use your thoughts to guide or make your chakra clear, balanced, and aligned to the first chakra. When ready, connect to and feel the chakra become energized and part of your energetic self.  When ready, change your focus and intention to move to the next chakra up the spine.

7. Now focus your mind and thoughts on your 3rd chakra in the solar plexus.  Visualize the shape and make sure it is round. Focus on the color yellow and the chakra's clarity (is it clear and transparent?). Now focus on the balance and alignment to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd chakra. When ready, turn your attention on the sensation of activating and feeling this chakra.  When ready, change your focus and intention to move to the next chakra up the spine.

8.  Now focus your mind and thoughts on your 4th chakra in heart area/mid-chest.  Visualize the shape and make sure it is round. Focus on the color green and the chakra's clarity (is it clear and transparent?). Now focus on the balance and alignment to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and now 4th chakra. When ready, turn your attention on the sensation of activating and feeling this chakra.  When ready, change your focus and intention to move to the next chakra up the spine.

9.  Now focus your mind and thoughts on your 5th chakra in the throat area.  Visualize the shape and make sure it is round. Focus on the color blue and the chakra's clarity (is it clear and transparent?). Now focus on the balance and alignment to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and now 5th chakra. When ready, turn your attention on the sensation of activating and feeling this chakra.  When ready, change your focus and intention to move to the next chakra up the spine.

10. Now focus your mind and thoughts on your 6th chakra in the fore-eye area.  Visualize the shape and make sure it is round. Focus on the color purple and the chakra's clarity (is it clear and transparent?). Now focus on the balance and alignment to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and now 6th chakra. When ready, turn your attention on the sensation of activating and feeling this chakra.  When ready, change your focus and intention to move to the next chakra up the spine.

11. Now focus your mind and thoughts on your 7th chakra on top of your head. Visualize the shape and make sure it is round. Focus on the color white and the chakra's clarity (is it clear and transparent?). Now focus on the balance and alignment to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and now 7th chakra. When ready, turn your attention on the sensation of activating and feeling this chakra.  

11. Feel and be aware of the chakra's and their relationship with each other and their separation.  

12.When you are ready to end the meditation, release your focus from the 7th chakra, and then each chakra as you go down the spine. 

13. Release the energy from the root to the earth.

20. Come out of your meditation. 

How long should this take? Time constraints will disturb the meditation.  Do what you feel is right.  At first the time will be short but will grow with practice.

Should your eyes be shut? Your eyes may either be open or closed.  It is your choice; either way is OK.

Should you be alone? If you are meditating with another person do not face each other as you may feel the sharing of energy and joining and it will disturb the subconscious mind. For this meditation, it is best to meditate either alone or not facing another person.
