Basic Meditations & Understanding The Chakras

 

A Centering Meditation

Sit any way that you feel comfy, so long as your spine is straight.

Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Take very long and very

deep breaths through your nose. Each time you breathe in, hold it for 2

or 3 seconds and then slowly exhale. Continue this breathing until you

feel very calm and peaceful. This can about 3-5 minutes, depending on

your individual needs. Take as long as you need. It is different for

everyone. Just go at your own pace.

 

You can also use sound to center yourself. Just sit quietly and ring a

small bell or chimes. Focus on the soft sound and breathe deeply. Keep

making the noise until you feel centered.

 

 

A Grounding Technique

This works great for those times in school or at work when you just

can't seem to keep your feet still or relax. Place your feet flat on the

floor and breathe in deeply. On the exhale, picture the excess energy

flowing out of your feet and into the Earth. Keep doing this until you

feel calm.

 

Usually my feet feel very heavy after doing this. My friends have gotten

the same feeling too when doing this, so I guess it is just a normal sensation.

 

 

How To Find A Mantra That Fits You

Sit in a comfy position. Picture yourself leaving your body and travel

up to the cosmos. See yourself sitting calmly in the center of the Universe.

 

Concentrate on the stars, then after a few minutes of gazing at them, a

few of the stars will glow a bright baby blue. Concentrate on one bright

blue star at a time. As you gaze at that particular star, you may hear a

phrase or word whispered in your head. Repeat what you hear and focus inward.

 

If the mantra is right for you, you will know it within. If it is not

right for you, simply gaze at another blue star and repeat this until

you find a mantra that fits you. After you find a mantra, thank the

Universe and feel yourself slowly descending from the sky, back into

your body. When you open your eyes, you might feel a little tired or

drained. I find that drinking a nice cold cup of juice re-energizes my

body. You might also wish to have a small snack. Milk and juice are

ideal for recharging yourself.

 

 

Meditating On Your Mantra

Sit in a comfy position and center yourself. During this meditation, you

can sing, say, whisper, or think your mantra. All that matters is that

you focus on your mantra and nothing else. That's it. You can do this

for as long as you like.

 

 

A Chakra Meditation

You can do this meditation either standing or lying down, however it is

important to not cross your legs or arms since this will close your

energy loop. Center yourself. Hold your right hand a few inches above

your Root Chakra. Focus on this spot and hold this focus for a moment.

Picture energy coming down from the Universe and flowing through your

hand, into the chakra.

 

Each time you inhale, feel more energy being drawn into the chakra.

 

When you feel a comfy warmness in this area, move onto the next chakra

and keep doing so until you have charged all of your chakras.

 

This exercise is very helpful for when you are feeling out of balance.

It also helps during times of physical illness. YOU SHOULD STILL SEE A

DOCTOR IF YOUR CONDITION IS SERIOUS. This is not a substitute for a

doctor's care, it is an aid to help strengthen the healing process.

 

If you wish, you can hold crystals/stones in your hands while doing this

or place the appropriate stone on the appropriate chakra. The

corresponding stones are:

 

Red Jasper--Root Chakra

Carnelian--Sexual Chakra

Tiger's Eye--Solar Plexus Chakra

Aventurine--Heart Chakra

Sodalite--Throat Chakra

Lapis Lazuli--Third Eye Chakra

Amethyst--Crown Chakra
