Through participating in this exercise you will be moving energy with your breath as you visualize each chakra location, shape, size, and color.  Visualizing your chakras while listening to this exercise adds energy to your nerve pathways that carry out the action.  Visualization and breath combined is a powerful tool for clearing your energy fields so that a constant flow of energy balance is maintained.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Let’s begin by closing your eyes and making yourself comfortable.... either laying down or sitting with both feet flat on the floor.... turn your attention to your breath....    breathe by allowing your diaphragm to drop and your abdomen to expand.... not by trying to expand your chest.  

As you continue this “belly breathing”.... let your attention follow the air in and out.   As your breathing becomes deep and regular.... visualize your physical chakra at the base of your tailbone....   breathe down into it.... and let the breath expand ....  like blowing on the embers of a fire.  

See it’s red color grow brighter and brighter.... whatever pace it grows is okay.... it may get big in a hurry.... or it may stay relatively small....  do not try to force it. 

As your breath activates this physical chakra.... begin to feel it resonate throughout your body and physical energy....  let any physical tensions flow out with the out-going breath.  Feel your shoulders and other chronic tension areas relax.... let your physical body speak to you.... acknowledge each of these voices.... and then let them go.  Breathe them out.

As the physical chakra feels fully activated and each of its voices have been heard and allowed to release.... let your breath draw the energy up to the second chakra.... the emotional chakra....  see it as a ball of energy located just below your navel.

Breathe into this point of light which is an orange color and the center of your emotional body.... let its orange color get brighter and brighter.... and let any emotional voices that need to speak.... be heard.  Do not try to fix them.... acknowledge them and let them go.  See them float up and out with your breath....  assure any loud voices that you will return to them later.... let them float up so your emotional space can be clear.  As this chakra feels fully activated and its voices have been heard and allowed to release.... let your breath draw you up to your third chakra,  the Mental.

               

See your mental chakra as a growing point of yellow energy in your solar plexus....  just below your wishbone.  As you visualize this yellow color feel the energy field of the surrounding mental body begin to quiet down.... let each of the stray thoughts that come up flow across your internal screen.... and off the other side.  Acknowledge them.... without letting them draw you into a conversation. 

Breathe them up and out.... clearing the space.

When each of the three lower bodies have been cleared and acivated.... turn your attention to your heart chakra which is your spiritual body.  Visualize this chakra as a green spark of energy....  breathe into it....  see your breath connect it to the lower three chakras...  as if pearls on a string. 

As your spiritual body is cleared and activated like the lower three.... with each of its voices being acknowledged and released.... let your breath strengthen the ribbon of energy that connects them all.... feel it grow into a pole of light that runs all the way through the center of your body.... let any cares or sorrows that may be weighing heavy on your heart be whisked up and out by this rushing river of energy.

Complete this process by extending this shaft of energy up through your neck and out through the top of your head....  clearing and activating the three upper chakras along the way.... 

the blue throat chakra in your neck....

the indigo colored psychic chakra or 

“third eye” in your forehead....

and the violet colored crown chakra 

at the top of your head.

Once again.... see how they are all connected like pearls on a string.... by the stream of energy that now runs all the way through you. 

Feel how this beam of light connects you through your feet to the Earth.... and through the crown of your head to that which is.... greater (God, Higher Self, or whatever you are comfortable with). 

Your energy field is now clean and flowing, “embrace this experience” by visualizing an egg-shaped envelope of pure white light.... that surrounds you and prevents outside energies from flowing.... into the internal spaces you have created.

Take a few more cleansing breaths to finish your meditation.... then open your eyes.... feeling completely relaxed and tension free.... yet pleasantly energized.

Breathing With the Elements of the Heart

 Conscious connected breathing is communication with the Source of life and a deep Peace within.  With purposeful breathing, the physical body feels lighter, liberated, and clarity is instilled within the thought process.  We become more coherent and find ourselves in a more Joyous and fulfilled state of Being.

The following information and ways of breathing allow you to discern and choose what you may require at any given moment to bring balance into any of the four levels of existence that you may find yourselves in.

Emanating from Your Center of Stability

Are you finding it less than easy to stay 

cool, calm, and collected these days?

You are definitely not alone!

 

It feels as though we are all on the threshold of something Expansive, something Different, and something New.  At times we perceive it to be quite overwhelming… this is when we are being called to Stand Firm, Centered, and Poised.  What does that look and feel like?

Visualization to Open and Charge Your Chakras

Sit comfortably… adjust your posture… and relax your shoulders.

Close your eyes…. breathe in…. and out with a big sigh.

Now take 3 deep breaths. 

Bring your awareness to your first chakra.  It is positioned directly under you with the larger end of the spinning cone open to the earth and the tip   pointing into the bottom of your spine. 

Visualize it as a vortex of red light spinning clockwise.  Clockwise is defined by looking at the chakra from the outside of your body.

Watch it spinning as you … breathe in red… and  breathe out red… visualize the breath as red on the in-breath.  Do not visualize on the out-breath… just watch what color it is.

Repeat this process until you can clearly see red; both on the in-breath and on the out-breath.  If the color red is either lighter or muddy on the out-breath, it means you need to balance your red energies.   If it is light, you need more red in your field.  If it is muddy, you need to clean your lower chakra.   Do this by repeating the exercise until the ingoing and outgoing colors are the same.  This is true for all the chakras.

Maintaining your picture of the first chakra, move to the second chakra located about two inches above your pubic bone.

Receiving Energy and Information Through our Chakra System

We receive outside information and energy through our body’s inherent chakra system.  Each chakra interprets energy somewhat differently and most of the time we are more developed in certain chakras than others, therefore we each receive and interpret information in our own unique way in the form of images, words, feelings, an impressions.  The following list will give an overview of each chakra’s purpose and the type of energy and information that can be received through it; as well as the abilities that can be developed through each chakra.

Exercises for Breathing Consciously

As I become more aware of my own Awakening and Transformational process I am realizing the greater importance of breath. It is non-detectable by sight, sound, or feeling on its own.... yet it is the very essence of Life as it regulates our heartbeat. I have found that conscious deep breathing is a natural way to increase my energy level and receive a greater sense of enjoyment in life.

Deep breathing exercises accelerate the intake of oxygen. Oxygen is one of the most important chemicals in the body that acts as a stimulant, and its function is that of purification.
