Meditation is considered as a powerful form of self-realization and self-healing. There are various methods by which you can meditate, but perhaps, the most potent of all is the Chakra Meditation.

The Seven Energy Centers and Chakra Meditation.

Chakra Meditation is the most accepted system of meditation. It is about re energizing and harmonizing the seven centers of energy in the body which are known as charkas. These are.

*Root Chakra, also famous as the Base Chakra, is located at the bottom of human spine. It is associated to the ?Earth' constituent, which governs our general health, safety, and richness in life.

*Orange or Naval or Sacral Chakra located at the center of abdomen and related to the element ?Water?. It governs our emotions and sexuality.

*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 located at the center of the chest and related to the element ?Air?. It governs love, compassion, and relationships in our lives.

*Throat Chakra is positioned at the bottom of the throat. It is associated to the ?Sound' feature, which administers our uniqueness, communication capability, and tone.

*Brow Chakra, also named as The Third Eye Chakra, is located between the brows on the forehead. It is associated to the ?Light' part, which administers our acuity, understanding and vision.

*Crown Chakra is located at the apex of human head. It is connected to the ?thought' component, which usually administers our intelligence, awareness and attentiveness.

Chakra Meditation seeks to achieve harmony amongst the seven chakras which gives the spiritual fulfillment. It helps to bring out the spiritual element of our material possessions.

Chakra Meditation Unleashed

Chakra Meditation is the sum total of the following three techniques:

*Grounding Technique, which aims at making the body feel connected with Earth. You just need to visualize a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth. This requires intense focus and mental presence during the act of visualization.

*Centering Technique, which aims at preparing your body to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. Just take three to five deep breaths and visualize relaxation of every body part from toe to crown. In simple words, just tighten and relax each body part from toe to the crown, and then visualize the act of centering a pot 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.

Here is one of the most common methods of performing Chakra Meditation.

*Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.

*Loosen your clothing and close your eyes ? you want to be as relaxed as possible without any distractions from outside.

*Take relaxing breaths ? neither too fast nor too slow. Just give up your control on the breath, and let it flow 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.

*You may experience a wave of thoughts, fears, and every kind of emotion during this process. Don?t avoid them! This represents the release of stress-related thoughts. With practice and regular exercise, these negative emotions and feelings will disappear.

*Feel every subtle inner detail and let your awareness travel freely from one body part to the other.

Chakra Meditation can be also done by anyone at whatever time you want, or for however long you have to spare. In fact there is no definite rule for the period of time to execute Chakra Meditation. Just fit it in whenever you can!
