To begin using any chakra meditation technique, it helps to have a background knowledge of what the seven chakras are, where they are located and what areas and functions of the body they affect.

It is said that your energy can not flow through to the higher chakras until the health and energy of the lower
chakras is in proper balance. If the individual mediator has any emotional or physical blockages pertaining to the lower chakras, he should focus on visualizing these being cleared or released before attempting to meditate upon the activation of the higher chakras.

In this chakra meditation technique, you may decide only to focus your meditation on the lowest chakras at first. In fact, you may decide to only focus on the first chakra for your first several days or weeks of this practice. It is up to you to decide
when you feel like moving on to focusing on higher chakras.

In any given meditation session, it is important to meditatively "activate" the lowest chakra first and work your way up. Don't feel pressed to meditate on all the chakras during any one meditative session. Better to listen to your mind and body and only
work up through as many chakras as you feel appropriate for that time. It may take you some time of sustained work on this practice before it feels right to go all the way up the line activating every chakra in a single session of meditation.

To begin your meditation, find a comfortable meditation position where you can sit with your back relatively straight and your palms facing upwards. There are two lesser chakras on your palms which will be open to energy flow if they are facing up.

Focus on achieving a relaxed state through counting breaths, repeating a mantra, visualizing a candle, or just emptying your mind.

Step One: When you are ready, begin to focus on the base chakra. Visualize it glowing faintly with
whatever color you associate with it. As you visualize it glowing with visible colored
light energy, see the intensity of the light getting stronger and stronger. Eventually
the light broadcasts out from the chakra and bathes the rest of your body in it's light.
Everywhere the light touches feels very happy and healthy. The light is like a magical
elixir - balancing and healing whatever it touches. Let the light shine upward touching
upon the other un-illuminated chakras and the rest of the inside of your body. Focus on
the feeling that the light shining out of the chakra brings with its healthy glow.

Step Two: If you choose to proceed, because you feel like your base chakra is very healthy
and in balance, leave it turned on and move up through your body to your next chakra beneath your belly button. Examine it, bathed in light from the first chakra and watch it
as it gradually starts to glow with a color of its own. At first it is just shining with
this color, but gradually, as you watch, it begins to illuminate your body with a beam
of its own color. This beam of healthy energy gradually broadens and diffuses so that
your body is now bathed in the light of both the base chakra and the navel chakra. Focus
on the feeling of health and energy exuded by the light.

If you choose to proceed, gradually work your way up the body, "activating" each chakra
and letting its light shine upward through the body. Leave each lower chakra turned "on"
as you illuminate the chakra above it. Eventually, you will illuminate the crown chakra
whose light will shine up out the top of your head, connecting you to the health, love
and abundance offered by the spiritual beyond.

After you have illuminated all the chakras that seem correct, work your way back down the
body, turning off the chakra energy, before you end your chakra meditation.

Step Three: Focus on the light from the uppermost chakra that you have activated. Look up through your body which is
illuminated by the chakra's light, noticing the energy and peacefulness brought by that light.

Now focus on the shining chakra again, and as you watch, see it's light gradually fade
out - the energy is being consumed and contained by the chakra. Let the light dim and the
healing energy from the light be absorbed by the chakra. Soon the chakra is dark to
the outside observer but full of healthy energy on the inside. Focus on the chakra to make
sure that it has fully contained its light energy and will remain "off" until you activate
it again in your next session.

Proceed down through the body, "turning off" each chakra and making sure it stays off, before going down to the next.

This concludes the explanation of the chakra meditation technique. If you have
any questions, please supplement your understanding by reading about the seven chakras.
