The chakras, which are points in the body considered by some to relate to different types of energy, give an interesting focus for a meditation. As you bring your awareness up your spine, passing through each chakra in turn, you can transport these energies into a state of balance.
(1). When you are comfortable with this feeling, imagine the energy beginning to rise up the center of your body. The color changes to orange as it reaches the second chakra, which is located in your lower abdomen. As you meditate on this point and the energy flowing into it, concentrate on feeling sensual and attractive.
(2). Next, pull the energy further up your central channel to your solar plexus (just below where your ribs meet in the center of your chest). In this area, visualize the energy becoming yellow, and filling you with a feeling of power and vitality.
(3). Choose a time when you will not be disturbed for at least twenty minutes, and a place where you can sit or lie comfortably. Many people prefer a cross-legged position, such as the lotus yoga pose, for meditation, but sitting in a chair or lying on your back will also work. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, relaxing your body.
(4). Focus your attention on your first chakra, which is located at the base of your spine. This chakra is related to feelings of security and wellbeing. Imagine the area glowing red and being filled with a warm and at ease energy. Think on feeling safe and grounded.
(5). The energy becomes white as it flows up and out through your crown chakra, located at the top of your head. This chakra connects your personal energy with other currents in the universe, and meditating on it can increase your spiritual development.
(6). When you have concentrated on each chakra independently, try to imagine them all glowing with colored energy at once, creating a rainbow through the center of your body and a beam of white light from the top of your head. Breathe intensely several times. When you are prepared, open your eyes stretch, and enjoy the lately balanced feeling of energy throughout your body.
(7). When you have absorbed this feeling, continue the chakra meditation by allowing the energy to flow up into your heart area. The energy satisfying your heart becomes green, and fills you with feelings of love and peace.
(8). As the energy continues to rise, it reaches your throat chakra. Visualize it as a ball of blue light. The energy of this chakra is related to communication. Concentrate on expressing yourself clearly, and later in any artistic actions you pursue.
(9). Allow the energy to flow up into your third eye chakra, located in your forehead. The energy becomes purple as it spreads through this area, filling you with instinct and increasing your empathetic and supernatural abilities.
