OPENING YOUR CHAKRAS

Root Chakra

To open the root chakra through chakra meditation, lightly touch your thumb and index fingers, palms up, leaving the rest of your fingers loose. Mentally concentrate on the root chakra, the spot between the genitals and anus, and chant the sound “LAM”. You may also choose to focus on the base of the spine.

Sacral Chakra

Next, use chakra meditation to open the sacral chakra by placing your hands in your lap, palms up, right hand on top of the left, with the tips of your thumbs lightly touching. Concentrate on the sacral chakra, the sacral bone on the lower back or on the groin area, and chant the sound “VAM”.

Solar Plexus Chakra

Open the solar chakra through chakra meditation by placing your hands in front of your navel, slightly below the solar plexus with your fingers pointing away from you. Allow your fingertips to touch, keeping your fingers straight and cross your thumbs, the right over the left. Concentrate on the solar plexus chakra, the spot on the spine slightly above your navel, and chant the sound “RAM”.

Heart Chakra

To open the heart chakra with chakra meditation, lightly touch your thumb and index fingers, resting your left hand on your left knee and your right hand at the lowest tip of your breast bone. Concentrate on the heart chakra, the place on the spine level with the heart, and chant the sound “YAM”.

Throat Chakra

Once you open the heart chakra through chakra meditation, open the throat chakra by interlacing your fingers on the inside of your hands and allowing your thumbs to touch at the top slightly pulled up. Concentrate on the throat chakra, the spot at the base of your throat, and chant the sound “HAM”.

Third Eye Chakra

Open the third-eye chakra with chakra meditation by placing your hands by the lower part of your breast, the middle fingers touching and pointing straight out in front of you. Bend your other fingers in allowing them to touch at the upper two phalanges.

Touch your thumbs together, pointed toward you. Concentrate on the third-eye chakra, located centered between, but slightly above, the eyebrows and chant the sound “OM”.

Crown Chakra

Finally, the chakra meditation used to open the crown chakra, hold your hands in front of your stomach, ring fingers pointed out forward, touching at the tips. Interlace the rest of your fingers, including the thumbs, with your right thumb covering your left. Concentrate on the crown chakra, located at the top of your head, and chant the sound “NG”. You will want to be sure you have a strong root chakra before doing the meditation for the crown chakra.
