Chakra Meditation

Ensure that you are grounded and protected before beginning.

Take slow deep breathes, allow your shoulders to drop, allow yourself to be comfortable.

Continue breathing deeply, relaxing further and further with each breath.

Each chakra is associated with a particular colour and it symbolises wholeness of mind, body and spirit. There are seven major chakra’s in the body which are the ones we are going to focus on today.

We will begin with the root chakra, which is red. Breathe and visualise red energy all around the bottom of our spine and pelvis. The red chakra is to do with our survival, vitality, ability, patience, courage and material success, it gives us life force and connection to the earth. So you may want to visualise this root chakra like a red flower opening and filling this area with love. Flood this area with red.

Now we will move to the next charka is orange and is called the sacral chakra, it is located just underneath the navel. Visualise and breathe in orange, flood this area with orange. This area is to do with our creativity, sexuality, passion. It gives us physical force, vitality and strength. Keep breathing and flooding this area with vibrant orange. Again you can visualise this chakra as an orange flower opening and filling this area with strength.

Now we are going to bring our awareness to the solar plexus chakra, it is located just below the rib cage. Flood this area with vibrant yellow light. This chakra is to do with our sense of identity, personality, ego. This area is how we feel about ourselves and how others perceive us. This area also promotes confidence and personal power. When this chakra is functioning, this is where we have out warmth and inner glow. Once again you can visualise this area as a flower opening up and filling your solar plexus with a beautiful yellow light.

From the solar plexus we move up to the heart chakra, this area is a beautiful bright green. Visualise the green energy pouring in from the centre of our chest. This is our emotional centre, where we feel love, compassion, understanding and forgiveness. The heart chakra is the central chakra of your body, it gives us love and is a powerful healer. Loving ourselves is a foundation of good health and happiness. Really feel the green energy coming through. You can visualise a green lotus flower opening up in your heart to bring in the energy, or you may see it as a bright green emerald sitting in your heart.

We now move on to the throat chakra, this area is a vibrant blue. Breathe and visualise this beautiful blue coming into the throat area, see it going all the way around your neck. This chakra is to do with communication, self expression and sounds. It is the chakra that builds a bridge and the world around it. Breathe in and fill your throat with this lovely blue energy. You can visualise this as the blue of the sky or the blue of the sea.

We go on up now to our third eye chakra, this chakra is a beautiful indigo colour. This chakra is located in-between the eyebrows and it promotes vision, intuition. It is the centre for psychic ability, concentration and insight. Breathe in indigo. You may want to take your inner sight up to this area just by letting the eyes roll up and take your awareness up to this area. Keep breathing gently.

We now move on to the last of the seven major chakra’s, the crown chakra. This area is pure white light and is located on top of the head. This vitalises our brain, it promotes positive thought pattern, inspiration and imagination. It is in charge of our spiritual well being. It makes the connection to our higher self and our guides and constantly flows life energy into our system and aligns and balances all of our chakras. Visualise the top of your head with this beautiful white light and allow the top of the head to be bathed in this light.

We have been through all the chakras and have energised them using the colours. Now visualise a beautiful golden light surrounding your body and wrapping your body in a cocoon. This loving golden light with hold in all the work you have just done on your chakras and also protect you from negative energies on the outside.

When we come into contact with others, we touch them with our energy, so make sure your energy is pure loving light.

Now it is time to begin to bring your awareness back to the conscious level. Start to become aware of your body, wriggle your fingers and toes and when you are ready open your eyes.
