Quick, Easy and Balancing Chakra Meditation
Realign with this quick chakra meditation
Meditation is SO important for our wellbeing, a clear head, increased creativity and so much more. Meditation does not have to be an intimidating act that has a bunch of rules that turn you off of it all together. There isnโt really a wrong way to do it. The meditation below is a simple chakra/body scan meditation :
Practice this Chakra Meditation for 3-10 minutes dailyโ (or longer when you're ready).
But first - WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?
Chakras are energy centers in our body that connect us to all aspects of our life experience. If you connect these "dots", they make a straight line in our bodies. They have corresponding colors, sounds, words, meanings and more! Pretty cool!
They start at the base of our spine - that's our root chakra - and the highest one is at the crown of your head - that's our crown chakra. Here's a head to toe guide:
๐ Chakra 7 - Crown - Wisdom- Purple
๐ Chakra 6 - Third Eye - Intuition- Indigo
๐ Chakra 5 - Throat - Expression- Blue
๐ Chakra 4 - Heart - Love- Green
๐ Chakra 3 - Solar Plexus - Self-esteem- Yellow
๐งก Chakra 2 - Sacral - Sexuality- Orange
โค๏ธ Chakra 1 - Root - Grounded- Red
So let's get in our body. We can align or tap into our chakra energies by taking these simple actions:
โ
1. Find a quiet place without distraction and sit or lay comfortably.โ
2. Close your eyes and take deep diaphragmatic breaths for 1- 5 minutes.โ
3. Focus your attention on the area of the chakra that you want to stimulate.
4. Focus on the color of that chakra. You might notice if the color has a shape or size and/or if the shape or size changes with your focus.
5. You may notice sensations in your body, emotions, thoughts, feelings, or memories that arise. This is ok; just observe and continue to breathe.
6. You may either choose to continue through the remaining chakras or stop after focusing on just one.โ *
*I recommend that beginners start with one at a time. You will be amazed at how quickly you can learn this one by one and will soon master 10 minutes of meditation! ;)
7. Continue to sit quietly for another minute. Then, when you're ready, begin to wiggle your fingers and toes.โ
8. Bring your attention back to your body in your environment. Open your eyes, smile in gratitude, thank yourself for the moment of pause, and resume your dayโ .
