 Mooladhara
Chakra
Mooladhara Chakra is the seat of Kundalini Shakti,
our divine potential which lies dormant within the pelvic floor. Within
this region is located the basis of who we are. This Chakra is our
foundation. Its shape is that of a square and it is connected to the
earth.
Meditation on Mooladhara Chakra strengthens
the body, increases the flow of vital energy, and gives one an incredibly
grounded presence. It releases one from all fears associated with
death and dying.
Mooladhara Chakra Meditation
Recommended candles: Ancient
Ones, Ganesha
- Sit in a quiet comfortable spot and light
your candle.
- Close your eyes and relax.
- Bring your attention into the pelvis. Feel
as if you are moving into the earth, down into a deep cave.
- When your eyes become heavy and tired, close
them and again journey deep into your underground cave. Take with you the
negative image of the candle’s flame and place it inside. This
is Mooladhara, the energy of the earth.
- Breathe deeply of Mother Earth.
- Feel her strength and presence becoming yours. Feel safe
in her womb. Accept her as your mother and provider. Let
all fears and insecurities soak into her soil. Give to her all your
worries.
- Relax in this state and let the Mother Earth support and embrace
you.
- When you are ready to end your meditation, thank the energy of
Mooladhara Shakti for her grace and protection.

 Swadistana
Chakra
Swadistana
Chakra is our sexual center. It is the seat of our emotional longings. Psychological
trauma and emotional pain are stored here. Binding emotions
such as envy, jealousy, and hatred are formed here. By going
into Swadistana, you begin to heal old wounds and thereby create
the possibility of opening up to your own joy. Swadistana
is located a few inches below the navel. Its color is light
blue and it is ruled by water, which is in turn ruled by the moon. Because
the earth and our bodies are both
predominantly water, this chakra is of prime importance. It
dominates our personality.
Meditation on Swadistana Chakra heals old
wounds and opens one to creativity and joy.

it is, allow it to guide you as a friend. Whatever comes
up, allow it and accept it. You can communicate to any elements
of your meditation. Its like being in a lucid dream, you
can be involved in it and infuse into it your awareness and light.

 Vishudha
Chakra
Vishudha Chakra is located
at the lower part of the throat. This chakra opens one to the very subtle
spheres of light and sound. Here you find the Akashic
plane where soul information is stored in subtle vibrations. Practices
of deep silence, speaking the truth, speaking words that are
positive and uplifting to others, automatically helps to purify
Vishudha Chakra. At this level, sound, vibration and words
have actual form and frequency. When Vishudha is pure and
strong, anything said becomes manifested. At this level
there is no difference between the sound form and the material
form.
Meditation on Vishudha brings understanding of yourself and your
patterns. It purifies traces of lower emotions such
as lust, anger, greed, hatred and jealousy by revealing the
truth of their origins. It also opens the doorway to
your own existence on other planes.
Vishudha Chakra Meditation
Recommended candles: Prana, Desert
Moon
- Sit in a quiet comfortable spot and light your candle.
- Breathe deeply to relax the mind and the body.
- Lengthen your breathing. Inhale
slowly to the count of seven and exhale slowly to the count
of seven.
- Close your eyes. Inhale to the
count of seven, hold your breath to the count of seven, now
hum quietly and steadily to the count of seven.
- Move deeper and deeper into silence. Breathe
in silence, feel silence, enter silence. . .deep deep silence.
- From this deep silence begin to hear
a single tone. Follow
this tone to its origin.
- When you reach its origin, ask it to reveal to you, enlightening
information of yourself.
- As this information is revealed to you, let yourself be wrapped
in joy as this information also offers release from its pattern.
