Ok, the Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine centered about midway from the front and the back. It's color is red, and it relates to the physical world and the physical body.It is the root, or foundation of consciousness.Here are our survival instincts and our desires for pleasure and procreation.It deals with the material world, and the struggles of life that go along with physical existence.
The Sacral Chakra is two finger width below the belly button and directly above the Root Chakra, it's color is orange, and it relates to the etheric world and etheric body. Here is our first center of emotional consciousness, where we reach out and build relationships with others. It is associated with intimacy, trust, sexual relationships, and how we communicate basic feelings. It is also the center of creativity.
The Solar plexus Chakra is two finger width above the belly button and directly above the Sacral Chakra. It's color is yellow, and it relates to the astral world and body. Here is the center of power, ruling a basic fight or flight response. and here are the issues of self-image, self-esteem, and the loss of power, creating fear and anger. It is also associated with issues of control-how we control ourselves, how we control others, or how we let ourselves be controlled.
The Heart Chakra is at your heart(hence the name)and is directly above the solar plexus chakra. It's color is green, and relates to the emotional body and emotional plane. Here is the realm of love and connecting to others on an emotional level without need or control being the motivating factor. At this level we explore empathy and relationships-from family and friends, to romance, to the stirring of spiritual, unconditional love. The Heart Chakra is the bridge between the lower and higher chakras.
The Throat Chakra is at the base of your throat and directly above the Heart Chakra. It's color is blue, and relates to the mental body and plane. Here is the realm of communication and expressing your idea's. Not only is it the energy center for speaking, it is also the power of listening, because effective communication requires both parties to speak and listen. Here we express the will of our lower chakras, giving word and form to things that are often seen as intangible. Our expressed will is the power of the magic word.
The Third eye Chakra, or brow chakra(or ajina chakra, this is the Sanskrit word for it, you might see a lot of people use this word) is between and above your eyes on your forehead, and directly above your Heart Chakra. It's color is purple, and relates to the psychic body and psychic plane. This is the realm of psychic sight, both seeing images of the past, present, and future and projecting magical concepts of what you wish to create. This chakra is our image of ourselves in action and as a spiritual center, and represents transcending the dualities of the world and finding oneness.
The Crown Chakra is just above your head, and centered just as the others are. It's color is pure white, and relates to the divine body and divine plane. Divinity, spirituality, and connection to the source are all in this realm. Described as a blinding light brighter than a million suns, or a thousand petaled lotus(the lotus by Buddha) the totality of the Crown Chakra in many ways is beyond human understanding. It is the idea of unconditional spiritual love and connection to which we aspire. it is the soul, the higher self, and our divine consciousness.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word for "spinning wheel" and when doing the meditations you see each chakra as a sphere of spinning energy, or vortex, in there respective colors, and move clockwise(clockwise as if you were standing outside your body looking in). and after seeing them like that and feeling it, I usually morph it into a flower, in there respective colors. I use a lotus, but you can use any flower you wish. Then when you see it as the flower, see and feel it bloom.
and here is the actual meditation.
sit, stand, lay down(but don't fall asleep.) which ever is more comfortable. Get into at least a light meditative state.
Start with the root chakra, see it as a bright red sphere, a vortex, spinning fast in a clockwise direction. Once you can actually feel the energy there, morph it into a flower and feel it bloom. It opens up completely.
Move to the sacral chakra and do the exact same except this time it will be a bright orange sphere, and a bright orange flower.
Move to the solar plexus chakra and do the same as above, except it will be a bright yellow sphere and flower.
Move to the heart chakra, do the same as above but with a bright green sphere and flower.
Move to the third eye chakra and do the same as above but a bright purple sphere and flower.
Finally to the crown chakra and do the same as above but with a bright white sphere and flower and. with the crown try and make at least the flower bigger than the rest of them.
Now remember it's important to feel it happening as well as seeing it. but you might not feel it when you first start doing the meditation. That's why practice and repetition is important. Try and do this meditation daily and at the same time each day for a greater impact, and just to make it habit. plus doing it at the same time each day will make it easier to get into a meditative state and. If you wish do it ether before or after other meditation that you may be doing then that's good to.
I hope this helps, and if you need anything Else just ask. I don't mind helping to the best of my abilities. oh yea, try and make the meditation last for about 30 minutes at least. that gives enough time for the energy to start flowing at a good pace. But yeah I took me more then 30minutes it doesn't matter how long it takes.
