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.

Chakra Meditation ? Basics

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.

*The Root, or base Chakra. This Chakra is located at the base of the spine and represents the element of Earth. The Root Chakra is responsible for our health, security and prosperity.

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

*Power Chakra, also called the Solar Plexus, is situated just above the naval region. It is related to the ?Fire? element, which governs our will power, metabolism, and autonomy.

*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.

*Throat Chakra located at the base of the throat and related to the element ?Sound?. It governs clear communication, creativity, and resonance during our entire lifespan.

*Brow Chakra governing your power of imagination, visualization, and interpretation is located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element ?Light?.

*Crown Chakra governing your wisdom and knowledge is located at the top of the head and related to the element ?thought?.

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 ? The Process

In essence, Chakra Meditation consists of three techniques, or steps which must be performed.

*Grounding Technique refers to the process whereby, your body feels connected with Earth. The visualization involves assuming a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth, thus, transfixing your body to the ground. With some intense focus and determination, you can achieve this state of Chakra Meditation.

*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 method. The Relaxation method is the principal work in the entire Chakra Meditation procedure. Everybody has his or her own technique of entertainment. Just locate out your favored form of relaxing the body and attach to it.

One of the popular methods of Chakra Meditation is detailed below:

*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!

*Become aware of each organ of your body from foot to the head. Feel the aura around you as well as your clothes. With your eyes shut visualize everything that you would have seen had your eyes been open. Visualize life in darkness!

*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.

*Be aware of each and every detail of your body and let your mind wander at will from one to another.

This exercise can be done at any time of the day and for any duration of time. However, the longer the better!
