Chakras are focuses of energy inside the body running from the base of our spine up to over the crown of our head. The antiquated Sanskrit word for chakra means ‘wheel’, proposing that the energy places in our body are wheels that move our energy upwards. They were first mentioned in Vedas.
All organic entities radiate a particular frequency, however, what happens when our energy stalls out? Is it accurate to say that we are ready to get to the entirety of our potential in a state where we feel risky, incapable to communicate, or aren’t absolutely open to cherish? This happens due to an imbalance in Chakras. We can work on chakras and regain the balance for a better life and mental awareness.
Here are some beautiful chakra meditations for each of your 7 chakras to rebalance your energy habitats, and help you have a sense of security, certain, and openness of heart:
Root Chakra: Masculine, Earth, Lotus
The Root chakra is situated at the base of your spine and represented by a lotus with four petals and an inverted triangle at its middle. The triangle represents association with the earth and the lotus is the most sacrosanct images in Hinduism, Buddhism, and antiquated Egyptian convictions. Our root chakra is our focal point of security, strength, and responsibility. At the point when our root chakra is adjusted, we are grounded, similar to a champion. A balanced root chakra makes one feel invincible, full of energy yet rooted and humble.
Without a fair root chakra, we can’t adjust the other chakras. To bring into balance, start by tracking down an agreeable, calm where you have a sense of security to plunge profound. Sit with stretched shoulder and erected spine, relax the muscles of your body. Now slowly focusing on your breath inhale as deep as you can and inhale with your mouth. Focus on the root chakra, located below the tailbone, feel any tightness and try to ease and relax while breathing. As you plunge deep in chakra meditation while breathing try to visualize a red glow a glowing light and focus on it.
Keep practicing it daily and feel the change in your mental awareness. You can also practice the “Balasana” which is the yoga asana for root chakra.
Sacral Chakra: Feminine, Water, Flower and Moon
The sacral chakra is represented by a beautiful crescent moon located at the centre of a flower with six petals. Its symbolised colour is Orange, the colour of the water. Water and moon. As the moon attracts waves of the sea and cause tides Sacral Chakra regulates emotions, ever-changing. Stuck energy, stuck emotions, blocked creativity, feeling low, not motivated, if you are noticing any of these emotions that’s because you have blocked Sacral Chakra.
Located in the lower belly or above the genitals you can work on your sacral chakra by meditation. Take deep breaths slowly trying to calm the gushing wave of emotions and anxiety. Visualize an orange glow around your sacral chakra, imagine it spreading slowly, covering your body. See it moving in ripples. Practise this regularly and you can also practice some asana like- Goddess Pose and Reverse Warrior Pose.
Solar Plexus Chakra: Masculine and Fire
Solar Plexus chakra is called Manipura in Sanskrit, translating literally to “lustrous gem”. The solar plexus is located in the naval area and it spreads up to the breastbone like an emerging fountain of energy. It is the source of self-esteem, warrior energy and confidence.
If you are facing control issues, you are being indecisive and are not feeling sure of yourself you need to heal your Solar Plexus chakra. The element of Manipura is Fire and is symbolised by bright yellow colour like the sun. Sit with stretched shoulder and focus to see a yellow light emerging from your naval region.
Now try to bring the dilemma to your focus and present the various decisions you plan to take with the issue and meditate on them. If your solar plexus feel sick don’t make the decision. Go with the option it feels easy with. Focus more on seeing the yellow light growing and covering your entire body.
Heart Chakra: Feminine and six-pointed star with twelve petals
The heart chakra is situated in the focal point of our chest – more towards the middle away from the heart. The crossing triangles represent the association of contradicting powers, making an agreement. If the heart chakra is balanced, our heart is open and, we feel the connectedness with others. We feel sympathy and compassion and can express without much of a stretch or hesitation. We understand that individuals are substantially more similar than they are unique, and essentially we as a whole vibe exactly the same things. When out of equilibrium we can feel deterred, unfortunate of others, envious, and unfit to excuse.
The heart chakra is related to air, connoting the daintiness of being. Probably the most ideal approaches to bring this into balance is through breathwork.
Sit in an agreeable position, either with folded legs on the floor or in a seat. Sit up tall with the spine straight, the shoulders lose and the chest open. Inhale and keep the palms together and softly press the knuckles of the thumbs into the sternum at the level of your heart (you should feel a little score where the knuckles mysteriously fit). Inhale gradually, easily and profoundly into the midsection and into the chest. Relax your look or delicately close the eyes. Relinquish any contemplations or interruptions and let the brain centre around feeling the breath move all through your body. When the brain feels peaceful and as yet, carry your shine to the light pressing factor of the thumbs squeezing against your chest and feeling the pulsating of the heart. Maintain this concentration for one to five minutes.
Throat Chakra: Sound and Masculine
The Throat Chakra is called Visuddha in Sanskrit. It governs communication, expression, self-expression ( ability and courage to speak the truth and accept the truth about oneself). If you have a blocked Throat chakra you might feel fearful expressing yourself, problem in communicating. The throat chakra is represented by blue colour.
Meditate on a blue or aquamarine crystal and silently communicate to yourself. Set in mind clearly what you want to speak. Inhale a deep breath and exhale with full force loudly may be making a sound while exhaling. You can also practice fish pose to work on your throat chakra.
The Third-Eye Chakra: Indigo
It is called the Ajna Chakra, is the focal point of discernment, awareness and instinct. It is articulated as ‘Agya Chakra’ and is the point of convergence of fixation during asana or contemplation and perceptions.
The Third Eye Chakra is situated between the eyebrows, at the focal point of your head. While the two actual eyes see the past and the present, the third eye uncovers knowledge into what’s to come. This chakra sets up an association with the outside world through internal vision and instinct. Zeroing in on the third eye propels us to move past the common craving and distractions. The least difficult and compelling approach to enact the Ajna Chakra is through breathing intentionally. Sit in an agreeable thoughtful posture with your spine stretched. Close your eyes and visualize convergence of your energies on your third eye. Carry your thoughts and focus on them while at the same time breathing in and envision a positive light entering the Third-Eye Chakra.
The Crown Chakra: Thousand Petal Flower
The topmost chakra the crown chakra is the symbol of the connection of the soul to the universe. The thousand petal flower, that symbolises the crown chakra indicates the connection of your awareness to the infinite consciousness. It gives you vision, it is the gateway to your spiritual awakening. The crown chakra provides you enlightenment from the mundane to absolute freedom (The Moksha).
Meditating on crown chakra you will see a white light surrounding your head, you feel lightness as if you are floating. Sit in a comfortable position and cross your legs stretch your hands and loosen your muscles. Now put your palms on the lap and facing upwards, basically opening the channel for receiving energy. Visualize a white petal in between the white circle of light in your head, imagine it opening and releasing blinding illumination. You can chant mantra or simply chant Om for more focus and relieve stress.
