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.
