A New You - With Chakra Meditation!
Introduction to Chakra Meditation
Chakra Meditation is the art of balancing and energizing all the seven energy centers in the body, called Chakras, in order to align the flow of energy through them. Here's a brief description of these seven energy centers, or the Chakras:
1. Root or Base Chakra located at the base of the spine and related to the element 'Earth'. It governs our general health, prosperity, and security.
2. Orange or Naval or Sacral Chakra located at the center of abdomen and related to the element 'Water'. It governs our emotions and sexuality.
3. Throat Chakra is situated at the base of the throat. It is related to the 'Sound' element, which governs our creativity, communication ability, and resonance.
4. Heart Chakra located at the center of the chest and related to the element 'Air'. It governs love, compassion, and relationships in our lives.
5. Throat Chakra governing your sense of creativity, resonance and communication skills is located at the base of the throat and related to the element 'Sound'.
6. Brow Chakra governing your power of imagination, visualization, and interpretation is located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element 'Light'.
7. Crown Chakra located at the top of the head and related to the element 'thought'. It governs consciousness, wisdom, and knowledge.
By concentrating and synchronizing these vital energy centers, one can achieve a calming influence on the mind resulting in stress-free existence and a contented life. Chakra Meditation also helps in naturally healing any ailment related to these 7 vital energy centers.
Chakra Meditation Unleashed
Chakra Meditation is the sum total of the following three techniques:
1. Grounding Technique refers to the process whereby, your body feels connected with Earth. The visualization involves assuming a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth, thus, transfixing your body to the ground. With some intense focus and determination, you can achieve this state of Chakra Meditation.
2. Centering Technique, which aims at preparing your body to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. Just take three to five deep breaths and visualize relaxation of every body part from toe to crown. In simple words, just tighten and relax each body part from toe to the crown, and then visualize the act of centering a pot on a pottery wheel.
3. Relaxation Technique. The Relaxation Technique is the primary act in the entire Chakra Meditation process. Everyone has his or her own method of relaxation. Just find out your preferred mode of relaxing the body and stick to it. In a nutshell, Chakra Meditation is all about relaxing, visualizing, and directing the flow of energy through the seven energy centers (Chakras).
One of the popular methods of Chakra Meditation is detailed below:
a) Sit or lie down comfortably.
b) Close your eyes and loosen your clothing. The idea is to be in a natural state without any kind of artificial compulsion on the body and mind.
c) Breathe in a relaxed manner, which should be neither too fast nor too slow. The idea is to give up the control on your breath, and let it flow naturally, but healthily.
d) Start feeling every part of your body from toe to the head in that direction. While your eyes are closed, feel the earth you are lying or sitting on, or the bed you are lying or sitting on, feel the aura around you, feel the clothes you are wearing. Feel everything you'd have had your eyes been open. Visualize life in darkness!
e) Initially, your efforts will be met with stiff resistance from negative thoughts and emotions. Don't suppress them! They'll disappear with time and practice.
f) Don't hinder your awareness! Let it flow freely from one part of the body to another.
Chakra Meditation can be performed by anyone at convenient hours. There is no rule for the duration of time to perform Chakra Meditation. Suit your comfort levels!
