Chakra Meditation
Find a quiet space
where you will not be
disturbed for a few minutes.
I invite you to light a candle
to make your space
a sacred
space to breathe and be.
A place where you
can come to meet
yourself.
Allow the crown of your head
to point towards heaven
while your seat
is firmly planted in a chair
or on a cushion
resting on earth.
Breathe
in through the nose
and out
through the nose.
Stretching the body long.
Relaxing with every breath.
Spine is tall.
Find a
natural rhythm to
your breath.
You may want to
roll your shoulders up on the inhale, exhale them back
and down a few times
in one direction.
Come to stillness
at your center.
Reverse the direction of
rolling your shoulders.
Inhale shoulders up, forward, and
exhale down
a few times.
Find stillness
once again at the center.
Letting go of a
any tension in the shoulders.
Imagine the tension in
your shoulders
melting away and
gently flowing down
your back.
Ahhhhh...
With each breath in
you arrive
and every exhale
you relax
a little bit more
in your body.
Opening up
the conduit of energy
that runs up
your spinal column
from the base
of your spine
to the crown
of your head.
Imagine these beautiful,
rainbow chakra colors
of light and healing
energy running through
you
from base to crown.
They light up,
clear out stress and tension,
and heal with intention
every cell of your
body.
Breathe deeply
in through the nose
and out through the nose.
With every breath in
you bring prana (life force).
With every breath out
you release
and
let go
and are able to
arrive more readily
in your body.
Observe the flow of your breath
in and out through your nose.
You don't need to control it
just allow it to flow freely and naturally,
in through your nose
and out through your nose.
Every time you inhale
you grow taller.
Every time you exhale
you sink more comfortably
into the present moment.
You become able
to draw on the deep
awareness and
