Meditation is traditionally regarded as one of the most potent forms of realizing one?s spiritual being, and in the process, one can live a healthy and aware life. Different people adopt different meditation styles, but if there?s one universally acceptable mode of meditation, that has to be the Chakra Meditation.

The Seven Energy Centers and Chakra Meditation.

Quite simply, Chakra Meditation refers to the process of balancing and energizing all the 7 energy centers (Chakras) in order to align the flow of energy through them. These 7 energy centers, or the Chakras, are.

*Root Chakra governing your general health, prosperity and well being is located at the base of the spine and related to the element ?Earth?.

*The Sacral Chakra, located at the very center of the abdomen ? this Chakra represents the element "Water" and is responsible for emotional and sexual components of the personality.

*Solar Plexus or Power Chakra located just above the naval region and related to the element ?Fire?. It governs our will power, autonomy, and metabolism.

*Heart Chakra is located exact at the middle of human chest. It is associated to the ?Air' feature, which often governs our approach of love, sympathy, and common relations.

*The Throat Chakra, at the base of the throat represents the element "Sound". This Chakra is responsible for communication and creativity.

*The Third Eye Chakra, or Brow Chakra is located between the eyebrows and represents the element "Light". This Chakra controls perception, imagination and related functions.

*The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and represents the element "Thought". This is the Chakra which is responsible for wisdom, knowledge and our very consciousness.

If you want to reinvent yourself and bring back those vitalizing moments in your life, then there?s no substitute to Chakra Meditation. If these vital seven Chakras are rotating in sync, physical, mental, and spiritual well being is assured. Thus, you can safely conclude that Chakra Meditation is the key to overall health of your life, taken as a whole.

Chakra Meditation ? The Process

Chakra Meditation involves three techniques in the following manner.

*Grounding Method. As is obvious by its name, the Grounding Method makes your body feel associated with the Earth. The function of this technique is much easy. Just imagine a root mounting from your body and inflowing towards the Earth. Easier it may resonance, but needs strong attention and psychological consciousness while performing the Grounding Method.

*Centering ? this technique is intended to prepare you for the benefits which Chakra Meditation has to offer. Take a few (three to five ) deep breaths and visualize your entire body relaxing ? from the top of your head to your toes. The next step is to visualize a piece of pottery being centered on a pottery wheel.

*Relaxation ? this is the last step in Chakra Meditation. Everyone has their own ways of relaxing; there is no one right way, nor a wrong way to relax.

There are plenty of techniques of performing Chakra Meditation, the most famous are as follows

*Sit or lie down comfortably.

*Loosen all your clothing so that there is no tension on any part of the body, and close your eyes.

*Breathe in a relaxed manner, which is neither too fast nor too slow. Let the breath come naturally!

*Feel every part of your body from toe to the crown in that direction. Feel the earth you are lying on or the sofa you are seated on, feel the clothes you are wearing. Feel completely present with yourself and relaxed.

*All the negative thoughts and emotions should not be avoided. Let them be! With time and regular practice, these thoughts will disappear automatically. Rather, when no such negative emotion disturbs you, that is the time when you should consider that you have perfected the art of Chakra Meditation.

*Don?t hinder your awareness! Let it flow freely from one part of the body to another.

This meditation exercise is beneficial at any time of day or night and may be done for as long as you like ? the longer you meditate, the better the results will be.
