Chakra meditation deals with energizing all the seven energy centers to align the flow of energy through the chakras. Chakra meditation is mainly used as grounding, balancing and energizing exercise.
Chakra meditation begins with focusing on the first chakra and ends with energizing the seventh one. The first chakra is known as the root or the base chakra and is located at the base of the spine. It is related to the element earth and deals with health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence. The second chakra is the naval or the sacral chakra, which is located in the abdomen and deals with the element water, and governs emotions and sexuality. The third chakra, or power chakra, is the solar plexus chakra, located in the area above the naval. It manages personal power, will, autonomy, and metabolism. The fourth chakra is named the heart chakra, is located in the center of the chest. It is related to the element air and governs love, compassion, and relationships. The fifth chakra is the throat chakra, located in the throat and dealing with the clear communication, creativity, and resonance and it relates to the sound element. The sixth chakra is known as the third eye chakra and is located between the brows. It is associated with the light element and governs psychic perception, accurate interpretation, imagination, and clear vision. The seventh chakra is named the crown chakra and is located at the top of the head. The element linked with this chakra is the thought element and it governs consciousness, wisdom, and knowledge.
To perform this meditation, meditators are advised to either sit or lie down in a comfortable posture where their backs are straight and head is in alignment with the body. Meditators can choose to play either soothing music or a guided commentary recorded at a slow, deliberate pace with a mild voice and appropriate pauses in the background while meditating. It is recommended that first time chakra meditators collect some basic information about the chakras before starting the energizing process. They can also contact a reputed teacher to guide them through the correct way of meditation.
