Can Anyone Try Chakra Meditation?

July 9th, 2009

Meditation is normally considered as one of the most powerful types of understanding someone’s religious being, and in the procedure, any one can easily live a fit and attentive life. Usually different cultures adopt dissimilar meditation techniques, but if there is any commonly suitable form of meditation, it is the Chakra Meditation. Often people refer to this as Chakra Balancing, or Chakra Healing, but it really is the same process.

Understanding Chakra Meditation

To put it in simple terms, Chakra Meditation is a method of energizing and bringing into balance the seven energy centers (or Chakras) in order to create an alignment which is conducive to energy flow. The seven Chakras are.

*The Root, or base Chakra. This Chakra is located at the base of the spine and represents the element of Earth. The Root Chakra is responsible for our health, security and prosperity.

*Orange Chakra, also called the Naval or Sacral Chakra, is situated at the center of abdomen. It is related to the ‘Water’ element, which governs our sexuality and emotions.

*The Solar Plexus, or Power Chakra. This Chakra is located right above the navel and represents the element of Fire. This Chakra is responsible for will power and metabolism.

*The Heart Chakra. This Chakra is located at the center of your chest and represents the element Air. This Chakra controls love and relationships.

*Throat Chakra is positioned at the bottom of the throat. It is associated to the ‘Sound’ feature, which administers our uniqueness, communication capability, and tone.

*Brow Chakra, also called The Third Eye Chakra, is situated between the brows on the forehead. It is related to the ‘Light’ element, which governs our perception, interpretation, and visualization.

*Crown Chakra is located at the apex of human head. It is connected to the ‘thought’ component, which usually administers our intelligence, awareness and attentiveness.

You can calm the mind by focusing on these seven important energy centers and synchronizing them. This in turn will result in lower stress and greater contentment. Chakra Meditation can also help to heal any malady which is connected to these seven Chakras.

Chakra Meditation – The Process

Chakra Meditation involves three techniques in this order.

*Grounding Technique. As is evident from its name, the Grounding Technique makes your body feel connected with the Earth. The application of this technique is pretty simple. Just visualize a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth. Easier it may sound, but requires intense concentration and mental awareness while performing the Grounding Technique.

*Centering Technique. This technique is vital as it prepares your body to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. Again, the application of this technique is not too difficult. Just take 4-5 deep breaths and feel every body part from head to toe getting relaxed. This process involves tightening and relaxing each body part from toe, and then visualizing the act of a potter who centers a pot on the pottery wheel.

*Relaxation method. The Relaxation method is the principal work in the entire Chakra Meditation procedure. Everybody has his or her own technique of entertainment. Just locate out your favored form of relaxing the body and attach to it.

Here is one of the most common methods of performing Chakra Meditation.

*Sit or lie down in a relaxed situation.

*Untie all your clothing so that there is no stress on any part of your body, and close your both eyes.

*Take deep, but natural breaths to help you relax – just let your body breath naturally and try not to think about it.

*Just begin feeling each fraction of your body from toe to the head in that way. While you’re both eyes are closed, just feel the earth you are lying or sitting on, or the bed you are lying or sitting on, feel the atmosphere near around you, and feel the clothing you are wearing. Feel the whole lot you’d have had your both eyes been open. Now imagine the life in dark!

*All the negative thoughts and emotions should not be avoided. Let them be! With time and regular practice, these thoughts will disappear automatically. Rather, when no such negative emotion disturbs you, that is the time when you should consider that you have perfected the art of Chakra Meditation.

*Be aware of each and every detail of your body and let your mind wander at will from one to another.

Chakra Meditation can be performed by anyone at convenient hours. There is no rule for the duration of time to perform Chakra Meditation. Suit your comfort levels!
