*Root Chakra. This chakra is situated at the base of our spine. It is related to the element earth. It controls our health and prosperity.
*Orange Chakra, also called the Naval or Sacral Chakra, is situated at the center of abdomen. It is related to the ?Water? element, which governs our sexuality and emotions.
*The Solar Plexus, or Power Chakra. This Chakra is located right above the navel and represents the element of Fire. This Chakra is responsible for will power and metabolism.
*Heart Chakra governing your general relationships, and feelings of love and compassion is located at the center of the chest and related to the element ?Air?.
*Throat Chakra. This charka relates to sound we make or hear and governs our communication ability, creative faculties and reverberations.
*Brow or The Third Eye Chakra located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element ?Light?. It governs perception, interpretation, imagination, and clear vision.

Chakra Meditation Power
Chakra Meditation is the sum total of the following three techniques:
*Grounding Technique. This technique helps you achieve the feeling of oneness with the earth. Just imagine that there is a root growing out of the base of your spine and entering the earth. This technique requires high degree of mental concentration.
*Centering Technique. This technique is vital as it prepares your body to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. Again, the application of this technique is not too difficult. Just take 4-5 deep breaths and feel every body part from head to toe getting relaxed. This process involves tightening and relaxing each body part from toe, and then visualizing the act of a potter who centers a pot on the 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.
*Close your eyes and loosen your clothing. The idea is to be in a natural state without any kind of artificial compulsion on the body and mind.
*Breathe in a relaxed manner, which should be neither too fast nor too slow. The idea is to give up the control on your breath, and let it flow naturally, but healthily.
*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!
*While you are doing this, you may feel emotions coming on. positive and negative. Let them flow through and out of you ? this is the release of your stress! With practice and time, these feelings will disappear.
*Be aware of each and every detail of your body and let your mind wander at will from one to another.
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!
