Chakra Meditation, or Chakra Healing aims at looking inwards as distinct from looking outwards and looking at surroundings as we do most of the time. Looking outwards often makes us forget what we are and what we are capable of. Meditation leads to our becoming aware of our potential and capabilities or in short achieving self realization. Meditation also gives the opportunity to sift, analyze and evaluate what we learn from our experiences in everyday life, thus making it possible to assimilate the correct knowledge and discard the incorrect. Moreover, chakra meditation, or also called Chakra Balancing, reduces tensions and promotes physical and mental relaxation.

Chakra Meditation – Basics

Chakra Meditation is the most accepted system of meditation. It is about re energizing and harmonizing the seven centers of energy in the body which are known as charkas. These are.

*Root or Base Chakra located at the base of the spine and related to the element ‘Earth’. It governs our general health, prosperity, and security.

*Orange Chakra. This chakra lies on the naval. This is related to water which is one of the five “Panchbhutas” or elements. This governs our feelings and reproductive ability.

*Power Chakra. This chakra is also called Solar Plexus and lies on our abdomen just above the naval. This is related to the element fire which governs our metabolism. It also governs our will power and our self confidence.

*Heart Chakra governing your general relationships, and feelings of love and compassion is located at the center of the chest and related to the element ‘Air’.

*Throat Chakra. This charka relates to sound we make or hear and governs our communication ability, creative faculties and reverberations.

*Brow Chakra. This chakra lies between the brows on our forehead and controls the process of visualizing the information stored in our brain.

*Crown Chakra located at the top of the head and related to the element ‘thought’. It governs consciousness, wisdom, and knowledge.

If you want to reinvent yourself and bring back those vitalizing moments in your life, then there’s no substitute to Chakra Meditation. If these vital seven Chakras are rotating in sync, physical, mental, and spiritual well being is assured. Thus, you can safely conclude that Chakra Meditation is the key to overall health of your life, taken as a whole.

The synchronization of chakras promotes self healing of all physical and mental ailments.

Chakra Meditation is the sum total of the following three techniques:

*Grounding Technique, which aims at making the body feel connected with Earth. You just need to visualize a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth. This requires intense focus and mental presence during the act of visualization.

*Centering Technique. This technique prepares you to receive rewards of Chakra Meditation. Just take half a dozen deep breathes and feel the existence of each part of your body by tightening and relaxing muscles in each part, while at the same time visualizing the hand of a potter centering a pot on the potter’s wheel.

*Relaxation Technique refers to the process whereby, the body feels relaxed by an act of visualization that suits an individual the best. Every individual is free to adopt his or her own relaxation method.

Here is a simple method of performing Chakra Meditation.

*Sit or lie down comfortably.

*Close your eyes and loosen your clothing. The idea is to be in a natural state without any kind of artificial compulsion on the body and mind.

*Have relaxed rhythmic breathing at a normal breathing rate so that you have a control on your breath.

*The next step relates to feeling every part of your body from toe to head in that direction. While your eyes are closed, try to feel everything that you would’ve seen with open eyes, like earth, air, clothes, surroundings etc. The idea is to feel awareness even with closed eyes.

*Don’t resist any thought. Let any thought come and go without disturbing you.

*Let you spirit roam in every part of your body. This is the feeling of completeness you’ve been yearning for.

There is no particular time of charka meditation it can be performed at any time convenient to you. The duration should be as per your choice. The posture should be according to your choice and should be comfortable to you.
