5 Minute Chakra Guided Meditation

Chakras Definition

I never heard of chakras before one of my yoga teachers told me about them. They sound sort of exotic and out there but they really are not all that complicated or hard to understand. In this great book I found called “The Five Minute Healer”, I found a very simple explanation:

“The charkras are centers of vital energy in your body. There are seven of them, from the root chkra at the base of the spine to the crown chakra just above the head. When all the chakras vibrate in blance, we enjoy perfect health and wellbeing”

The chakras all have sounds associated with them. Here is a quick and easy guide from the same book:

Crown chakra: just above head. Sound: “ee” (as in me). Color: golden white. Feeling: connecting to the higher self and the spiritual

Third eye: middle of the brow. Sound: “ay” (as in day). Color: indigo. Feeling: insight; knowledge;intuition.

Throat chakra: throat. Sound: “eye”. Color blue. Feeling: calmness; clear communication

Heart chakra: heart. Sound: “ah” (as in father) Color: green. Feeling: compassion; love for yourself and others.

Solar plexus chakra: between breastbone and navel. Sound: “oh” (as in snow) Color: yellow. Feeling: personal power.

Sacral chakra: genitals. Sound: “ooo” Color: orange. Feeling: self-worth; positivity

Root chakra: at base of spine. Sound: “uhhh” Color: red. Feeling: grounded.

Here is the meditation called “Intoning the Chakras.” I tried it and found it very soothing and it helped me feel focused. I think I like it because you make sounds and have specific things to think about so my mind doesn’t wander so much and I actually get something out of the meditation.

1. Sit down in a comfortable position and gently close your eyes. Spend a few moments following your breath, just being aware.

2. Take a deep breath and focus your attention on the root chakra, at the bottom of the spine. Imagine the colour red and make a very deep “uhhh” sound, feeling the sound vibrate around the base of your spine and around your genital region, grounding you and making you stable.

3. Continue moving up the chakras – see chart above for the sounds to make, the colors to visualize, the feelings to imagine. As you start, the sounds are deep; as you move upwards, the sounds become progressively higher in tone.

4. Finally, move to the crown chakra, a glowing sphere of golden white at the top of your head. The sound here is a very high “eee” (as in she or me) as high as you can go. As you intone this sound, visualize yourself connection to your highest self and to your sense of the spiritual. Then visulaize all the chakras linking up as the energy of this sound shoots down through your body, balancing as it descends.

5. Sit quitely for a few moments, returining to normality. Stamp your feet and open your eyes. Eat something after this exercise to ground you completely.

Here is a longer, about 10 minutes, guided meditation which help you familiarize yourself with the chakras and help you unblock them.
