Illustrated Charts Of Chakras

Illustrated Charts Of Chakras. Let's begin first though by giving a brief overview of the chakra system and how they work. Chakras are energy vortexes that reside in the astral body and transmute energy between the 3 bodies that make up a human being.

There 3 bodies are the physical body, astral body and mental body. Charka essentially move energy between these bodies, by raising or dropping the frequency of the energy as required.

Each chakra resides in a particular location along the spine from the base to the crown of the head, and the health of the center is reflected in the health of the organs and systems in that particular region.

In addition, chakras are responsible for personality traits and having these centers in balance, means to have one's physical, emotional and mental bodies in balance as well.

So now that we have an understanding of chakras, let's delve into the visualization meditation technique which can be used to open, heal and balance these important centers.

Each chakra is associated with a particular color, and by using this information along with the power of concentration and visualization one can help stimulate a particular center and assist it in opening.

Below is the color lists the particular color associated with each center. Each of these colors should then be used, as described in the meditation script below it.

To practice chakra visualization meditation technique, one should follow the step-by-step instructions below.

1. Either lie on your back, or sit up in cross legged posture with your back straight.

2. Close your eyes and take 5 deep slow breaths to help relax you and clam the mind.

3. Now begin to visualize the color red at the base of your spine as a glowing ball of red light. Feel your breath moving in and out from this center while continuing to imagine a red ball of light emanating from that location.

4. After spending a minute or two at the root chakra, move up to the sex chakra and repeat the exercise with the color orange.

5. In this fashion work through all the other chakras as well, where the navel chakra is located at the level of the solar plexus, the heart center at the level of the sternum, the throat center at the neck and the third eye chakra in the middle of the forehead.

6. Once you complete the cycle, relax for a few minutes and then finish the meditation, by affirming you are healthy, balanced and at peace.

The above chakra meditation, works through the entire chakra system, but if you are interested in opening and balancing just one particular center, you can simply focus on doing the visualization meditation with the color for that specific center only.

This method of chakra balancing is very effective, but one should use it judiciously, as one should be physically able to handle the increased energy flow that can occur when chakras are activated and opened.
