The Seven Chakras: Meaning and Symbols
The Seven Chakras: Meaning and
Symbols
· First,
start by making sure you're in a quiet space. If you can't be right now, just
return to this section of the article later. But if you can, sit quietly for a
moment and take a few deep breaths. Let tension and stress slide away for
just a moment. Just be in the moment, with your body.
· Now,
bring your attention to the base of your spine, your tailbone, and imagine a
bright spinning red light. Feel it pulsing and rotating with your breath. Sit
with that for a moment.
· Move
your attention up your spine to the area a couple of inches below your belly
button. Feel the warmth of a bright, orange spinning light. Again, notice
how it moves with your breath.
· Guide
your attention further up to a couple inches above your belly button. You're
probably familiar with this area, because when you feel strong emotions like
love or fear, you likely feel it here. Notice how you can sense the intense
yellow light rotating in that spot.
· Bring
your attention further up to the center of your chest where your heart is. This
area harnesses a bright green light. When you're touched or moved, you might
instinctively place your hand over this spot. Connect with that area now.
· Then,
bring your attention to your throat, the dip in between your collar bones.
Imagine a bright blue light spinning in that area. You may feel the urge to
swallow or clear your throat as you think of it.
· Next,
move your attention up to the space on your forehead between your eyebrows,
your third eye. This area holds a deep indigo rotating light. Imagine yourself
becoming wiser as it spins and becomes brighter.
· Finally,
shift your attention to the very top of your head. Imagine a vibrant, spinning
violet light that shines right out of the top of your body. This light connects
you to the universe. Feel the peace that comes with noticing this light.
