Chakra Meditation For Recovering From An Injury Or Illness

Sometimes we find ourselves with an injury or illness where we have to stay home and give ourselves time to heal.

There's usually two things that happen.

One is that you think you'll finally get a lot of rest.

The second is that you'll be able to heal earlier than what the doctor tells you.

Based on my own experience,

Things usually don't go this way.

I created this meditation while convalescing myself.

I hope this meditation helps you as much as it did me.

First,

Get yourself comfortable in any way that's best for you at this time.

Allow the belly to relax as you breathe in.

If you find you need more support for your body,

Just turn this off and get that pillow,

Prop,

Or pain medicine taken as prescribed and come back.

Keep your body in as normal a seated position as possible or if need be,

Lying down.

Make sure you have enough support around you to make yourself feel really comfortable in this position.

It's your body and it's done a lot for you,

So be kind to it.

It's hurting and needs you to be mindful of how you're handling it.

Breathe in and observe any feeling of where there's pain in the body.

Breathe out the tightness around that area.

Close your eyes,

Breathe in again,

And notice any pain or discomfort.

What it looks like.

Does it have a color?

Does it have a smell?

Does it have a shape to it?

Allow yourself to breathe into that area.

Observe any pain or darkness you feel and breathe it out.

You can just keep doing this and say,

Breathing in healing light,

Letting go pain and darkness.

Go ahead,

Breathe in a little forgiveness in your heart that you just have to stay here right now and allow yourself the opportunity to heal.

Feel the gravitational grounding energy of the earth come into your body.

Feel it coming up your legs to the base of your spine.

As you breathe in,

Notice the pelvic floor softening just a little bit.

Breathe out a little slower than the inhale.

Breathe in again,

Feeling the belly softening and creating a little more expansion.

Allow the feet to relax.

Feel the energy coming up through the earth.

Feel your palms and feel them soften.

Allow yourself to relax even more now as you breathe in.

Notice the cooling air coming in the nostrils.

As you exhale,

Feel the warmth of the breath as it leaves the mouth.

Notice the four corners of the eyes and then feel the roundness of the eye socket itself and allow the muscles to relax.

Notice the curvature of the outside of the ears and allow them to listen to the inner ear.

Feel the eyes and ears are turning inward,

Listening to you,

Tuning into you.

Now turn your attention to the base of your spine.

Feel the energy of the root chakra at the base of the spine.

This is usually where the basic instinct of the reptilian brain lies.

The survival instinct,

The fight or flight energy.

It's also said it contains the power to unleash and rise like a snake along the energy of the spine to the Kundalini energy of enlightenment.

Right now,

Let's keep this energy and feel its vibrancy and how it renews you every moment.

Keep breathing.

Feel the red blood cells are multiplying,

Being able to bring more oxygen to the area that needs healing in your body.

Allow the energy to ground the pelvic area.

Now breathe and let yourself connect even more to this red energy of the root chakra.

And allow the next breath to connect to the orange energy as it rises above to where the second chakra is,

Where the sexual organs lie.

It's said that in this vibrant orange energy of the sacral chakra,

Creation lies.

Allow yourself to connect and feel that orange energy and send it to any place that may need healing with it.

Now experience the orange energy going up to around the belly button to the third chakra,

A place of discernment.

Keep breathing and relaxing into the belly area.

This area of the solar plexus,

Sometimes referred to as the second brain,

The place where we feel butterflies in our stomach.

The place of taking in and discerning and its selective process of eliminating.

Feel the incredible sunlight energy of this yellow energy.

See it taking in nutrients and eliminating toxins as you breathe.

Feel that yellow energy and send it if it needs to go to a place that needs healing within you.

Now coming back to the yellow energy,

We see it rising up to the chest cavity,

To the fourth chakra and transitioning to green.

As the bronchi awaken with its branches reaching out and bringing in life giving oxygen to the heart home,

Where our blood exchanges with the lungs.

Like a tree with branches reaching out,

Protecting your heart to bring in nurturing oxygen.

Feel,

See,

Or perhaps smell this green energy cleansing you.

Inhaling the oxygen from the lungs of the earth,

The rain forest.

Release the breath,

Releasing any pain,

Discomfort,

Or unwanted emotions.

Allow the expansiveness of the chest area to feel the enormous capacity of the heart to love.

Remember to give yourself love in this moment and feel this healing energy activating in your body.

Now feel the energy as you breathe moving up into your throat area,

The fifth chakra with its blue color,

The place where your voice exists.

Where you say who you are in the world,

A place of expression to talk,

Sing,

Or shout who you are.

Where you scream,

Howl,

Or laugh.

This blue throat chakra is where we cry out when we come into the world,

Where expression comes out or silenced.

Allow yourself to feel power,

Throat chakra.

Now go up to the sixth chakra where the pineal gland sits.

The space just inside the head,

Behind the eyebrows.

Feel this energy,

Keep breathing in to the space between the eyebrows,

The doorway to the third eye associated with the color purple.

This is a place of connection to divine essence where it said other spirits and sometimes other dimensions can be experienced.

Giving one second sight,

Allow this healing purple color to come into your body and surround any area that needs healing.

Allow yourself to feel the expansiveness of connection to that energy as it ascends to the seventh chakra,

The crown chakra.

Feel its powerful purity going up to the top of the head with this abounding light coming into your body.

The place where the fontanelles are open when we're born.

Keep breathing the light,

The energy of the divine universe.

Sometimes saints are depicted with halos of lights around their head,

Showing their connection to higher consciousness.

Allow the energy of divine consciousness to come into you and breathe in and send it to any place that may need healing light.

Allow the energy and light to surround it.

Keep breathing and concentrate on the light coming in and filling your body as if you're sitting in a crystal cup of energy.

Now see a white cloud forming in a circle above your head.

See that circle starting to spin and getting a little faster as it spins a gentle rain of rainbow crystals start falling on you.

Feel this prismatic light enter your body.

Feel the healing power as you breathe and allow healing energy of light coming into your body.

Keep letting this energy run through you and say any prayer or mantra.

As always,

If you want to change the words,

Feel free.

God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Meditate on this or the words of your choice.

Feel the energy of a divine presence helping you to heal.

Now gently come back.

Feel your hands,

Your feet,

And feel your body being grateful that you took time to do this.

And remember you can do this again tomorrow or tonight before bed.

It helped me,

So I hope it helps you.

Allow the healing power of the universe to be with you today,

Sometimes slowly,

But it will always work if you do it.

Have a beautiful day.

Namaste.
