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.
