Chakra Meditation

Good afternoon!

Rest comfortably with your eyes closed.

Allow your awareness to rest at the base of the spine.

The base of the spine is the first chakra,

The root chakra.

Even here at the base of the spine,

There's a swirling current of energy and this energy is red.

Visualize the color red.

This chakra relates to survival needs,

To your ability to feel at home in your body and at home on the earth.

When open,

This chakra supports your sense of being grounded and connected.

Imagine now that from the base of your spine,

You're sending out roots into the earth.

Roots to ground you,

To make you feel safe and secure.

Breathe in the color red and imagine sending these roots deeper into the earth.

The element associated with this chakra is earth.

The energy is dense and heavy.

Experience that now as you rest your awareness at the base of the spine.

The sense associated with this chakra is the sense of smell.

Imagine the smell of earth.

Trust that the earth is supporting you.

Let go of any fear or resistance.

Just trust.

As you rest your awareness at the base of the spine,

Visualize the color red and silently repeat the mantra,

Lum Lum Lum.

Breathe in the color red and repeat the mantra,

Lum Lum.

Now moving your awareness up in the spine to the pelvic area and here imagine a beautiful orange swirling energy.

This orange energy is liquid.

It's flowing and moving,

Circulating throughout your body.

Imagine this orange energy radiating out from your pelvis and moving into all of your cells.

This chakra relates to your creativity,

Your sensuality and your sense of pleasure.

It really is an ability to go with the flow and to flow with emotions.

Let go of guilt and embrace pleasure.

The sound of this chakra is Vum,

Vum,

Vum.

Visualize the color orange and silently repeat the mantra,

Vum.

Moving now to the place just above the belly button,

The solar plexus.

Rest your awareness in this area,

The third chakra at the solar plexus and visualize the color yellow.

The element associated with this chakra is fire.

As you rest your awareness in the color yellow,

Imagine that this fire burns at your solar plexus.

This yellow energy radiating out into all of your cells so that all of them now are glowing with this fire energy.

Feel the warmth as it spreads through your body.

When this fire is burning brightly,

You feel a sense of personal power.

You're confident,

Able to take risks and manifest your purpose.

Imagine the yellow sun burning at your solar plexus.

Breathe in the color yellow and trust in your personal power.

Feel the internal fire burning.

Let go of shame and settle into your power.

As you rest your awareness in the color yellow,

Mentally repeat the mantra,

Rum.

Rum.

Rum.

The color is yellow and the mantra is rum.

Bring your awareness now to the heart center and here imagine a beautiful emerald green.

Imagine that with each and every breath,

You're breathing into your heart center.

Each and every breath,

Breathing in this beautiful emerald green.

This chakra relates to the element air.

As you rest your awareness at the heart center,

Notice the emotional quality.

Notice how you're feeling.

Drop your awareness into your heart and see what's present.

Release any feelings of isolation,

Of feeling alone,

Of grief or sadness.

Breathe in the beautiful emerald green and connect with that source of compassion and of love.

Allow your heart to open to love,

To joy and to bliss.

Release any grief and allow only love.

Within the color green and silently repeat the mantra,

Yum.

Yum.

Yum.

Feel your heart growing bigger and bigger,

Opening with each and every in-breath.

The mantra is Yum.

Now gently move your attention into the area at your throat.

As you rest your awareness at the throat chakra,

Imagine breathing in beautiful light blue.

This chakra is associated with your sense of communication and self-expression.

When it's open,

You feel confident in your ability to express yourself,

To say what you mean and to mean what you say.

It relates to your ability to speak your truth and to be heard.

The element associated with this chakra is sound.

As you rest your awareness in the color light blue,

Imagine this vibration of sound moving throughout your body.

The mantra is Yum.

Yum.

Feel the vibration of Yum moving throughout your body.

Let go of any lies,

Any untruths and come fully into the truth.

Opening in the color light blue and mentally repeating Yum.

Now moving your attention to the point between the eyebrows,

The third eye.

Breathe in the color indigo.

As you rest your awareness at the third eye,

Imagine looking up into a beautiful indigo light.

This chakra is the center of wisdom and intuition.

It relates to your ability to see things clearly and to trust what you see.

It relates to the element of light.

Focus your awareness on the third eye and imagine looking up into this beautiful indigo light.

Let go of illusion and trust your inner wisdom.

The mantra for this chakra is Shum.

Shum.

Shum.

Visualize the color indigo and silently repeat the mantra Shum.

Finally journeying up in the body to the crown of the head,

The very top of the head.

Imagine here a beautiful white light streaming in the top of your head and bathing all of your cells in this beautiful radiant white light.

This chakra relates to your connection to the divine or the source.

As you imagine this white light streaming in and filling all of your cells,

Mentally repeat the mantra Om.

Om.

Om.

The sound of creation.

Allow your awareness to rest here at the top of your head and feel your connection to all beings.

Let go of any attachments and feel that sense of oneness with all beings.

Know that you are everything you've been searching for.

Feel yourselves bathed in white light and silently repeat the mantra Om.

And now starting at the top of the head,

We'll journey back down to the base of the spine by going back through all of the chakras.

Crown of the head,

The mantra is Om.

Third eye,

The mantra is Shum.

Throat chakra,

The mantra is Hum.

Heart center,

The mantra is Yum.

Color plexus,

The mantra is Rum.

Pelvic area,

The mantra is Vam.

And finally coming to rest at the base of the spine.

Color is red and the mantra is Lam.

Feel yourself again very heavy and connected to the earth,

Very grounded and secure.

Slowly beginning to wake up the body by moving your fingers and your toes.

And when you're ready,

You can open your eyes.

Taste the power which holds every softly and every breath.

You you
