If all of these important energy centers are in proper alignment, then you will enjoy better health; physical, mental and spiritual. Chakra meditation can make a huge difference towards fostering better health and a better life for you.
Chakra Meditation:- The Process
Chakra Meditation consists of three techniques:
1. Grounding - This technique aims to make you feel physically connected with the Earth.
Close your eyes and visualize a root or roots growing from your body and into the Earth beneath you. Let all the days energies flow down into the earth through this root system.
2. Centering Technique - Take a few deep breaths. Tighten and relax each part of your body, from bottom to top; visualize yourself relaxing as you do so. Finally, visualize a warm glow (like a sun or star) that warms and vitalizes, centered at your heart, radiating outward through you entire body.
3. Chakra meditation:
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
Close your eyes and try to shut out external
stimuli, you want to have as few distractions as possible. Breathe naturally; your breath will naturally reach the proper state. Begin to concentrate on each Chakra point in your body from Sacral to Third Eye. Eyes still closed, feel the energy of each Chakra as you rest your consciousness with it, focusing on that Chakra's specific correlation.
Don't hold your consciousness back; let it flow as it will through your body. You may find this difficult at first, but just let any distracting thoughts run through your mind, they will work themselves out and disappear with practice.
Do this meditation for as long as needed.
I often find it helpful to write out, or journal any thoughts, feelings, visions, etc. that come up during mediation for future reference.
