Chakra Activation & Healing Meditation

This video is really an audio that is best listened to with headphones to receive the greatest benefit from your time spent listening.

This is a pleasant introduction to chakra meditation. I hope you enjoy it and aren’t as irritated as I was by the spelling mistakes in the on-screen instructions at the beginning of the video. Still it’s not mine so I can’t fix it.

Putting Down Roots Is The Best Way To Start Working With Chakras

Root chakra – Muladhara

In the Chakra System the Root Chakra, or Muladhara, is the starting point for any work you may want to do that involves self-healing. This chakra is located at the base of your spine and is your main connection with the physical world. Muladhara is associated primarily with survival, security and the satisfaction of your basic needs. This is the base upon which your wholeness and spiritual development rest so it needs to be firmly anchored.

One of the problems we face in our desire to reach enlightenment, fulfillment, or other lofty spiritual goals, is that we get so distracted by our dreams of peace, oneness, and contentment that we neglect those things that are important, but related to the physical reality we experience. The consequence of this is that we experience frustration and an inability to make any real progress towards these higher targets. Then, because our spiritual work is so much more important than dealing with the illusion we just get bogged down and end up either making no progress at all, or just kidding ourselves that what we are doing is making a real difference.

Yes, we want to get to the good stuff.

No, we don’t want to spend time working on the mundane.

The good stuff can only be reached right through the middle of the mundane.

The mundane starts at the base of your spine in your Root Chakra – Muladhara.

So how can you tell if your Root Chakra is functioning correctly or needs some work?

You can look outwards towards your world and see if your world reflects back to you those problems that are associated with your Root Chakra. If it does then Muladhara needs some work. If it doesn’t, then check out Svadhisthana and so on up through your chakras. My book, Chakra Balancing, is an excellent resource that you can use to guide you through this process.

Each chakra is connected with specific physical areas of our bodies. They are also attached to psychological aspects of our personality – or if you prefer – our experience of Self.

Root Chakra physical connections

You might consider that Muladhara is the good health valve for the legs, lower back, and the internal organs of the lower abdomen. Therefore, if you suffer from: varicose veins, lower back pain, elimination problems, haemorrhoids, rectal tumours, or sexual dysfunction, then you might want to consider working on your Root Chakra.

Now, you may well be aware of the idea of Maya that all is illusion and the world we experience is nothing more than our interior psychological landscape projected outwards. But, until you can walk through walls, be aware that, illusion or not, the physical body occasionally malfunctions and often hurts. Working with chakras is one way to positively impact these physical problems.

Root Chakra psychological connections

Muladhara’s emotional focus is primarily on those areas that relate to our sense of security and safety in this physical reality. The emotional problem areas associated with the Root Chakra are: excessive anger, fear, insecurity, loneliness, guilt, greed, and addictive behaviours like eating and smoking.

Problems with Muladhara can also show up as financial difficulties – an inability to keep your head above water; or even as a problem with your letting go of the past and embracing the new. This might be especially tricky when a relationship ends and you find yourself longing for what was.

Inside or Outside

Our chakras do not reflect our inner landscape – they are our inner landscape. So changes to chakras can be brought about either by working on the problem, or by working on the chakra. The reason for this is that it’s all you. The chakra and your personality is all you. It is also this same you that decides to bring about change by working either directly on the chakra or directly on the problem.

In my book on Self Hypnosis I explain how the subconscious mind uses mental images to create magical physical changes. It is this facility that we tap into when we use a visualisation technique to open up or unblock a chakra.

Making those changes can be as simple as listening to a guided meditation, or playing with images in your mind.

Remember, your mind creates your world so if you don’t like your world all you have to do is change your mind about it.

Chakra Balancing for Health and Well Being

I finally finished proof reading, tweaking, and building web pages last night (for the free accompanying downloads) and submitted my suitably formatted manuscript to Kindle for approval and publishing. It was a nice feeling this morning when I checked on Amazon and there it was: Chakra Balancing – 7 Easy Steps to Improved Health & Well Being listed under Kindle books.

I think if you’d tried to talk to me thirty years ago about invisible energy systems and magic whirlpools that can impact your physical and emotional health then I would most likely have smiled politely while privately thinking you were a total nutcase. That’s not likely to be the case with you because you are reading this having already seen the title. But if it was, I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that Chakras, nadis, and all the other weird stuff is a bit strange and you’ll leave your health for your Doctor to look after.

That is certainly what I used to think.

But life took me down a path where I had to start to take notice of the odd things that were happening and the even odder things that I found myself being able to do. I tell the story of that in this book. I tell it by way of introduction to the whole Chakra business. I show you how I found out about Chakras and how changing their state can have an immediate, one might say miraculous, effect on physical symptoms.

After that I take you through the seven major Chakras and let you see how you can easily identify those which need attention. I give you a seven step guide to the process of starting from no knowledge to becoming accomplishing at diagnosing and bringing your chakras back into balance. After this of course you are the one who benefits by feeling better.

I don’t want to say much more about the contents because I don’t want to spoil the adventure for you. It’s not a big book and it won’t take long to read through – but if you follow my guidance it could have a huge beneficial impact on your life.

What I would like to say for those of you who have your own story to tell, and are interested in publishing with Kindle, is that Kindle publishing this time was much easier than the last time I did it around 6 months ago. It is still not a simple straightforward process, but it is less tedious now than it was – or possibly tedious in more understandable ways.

But it really is quite an enjoyable adventure if, like me, you are doing the whole thing on your own. You get to discover about cover design, play around in Photoshop, and stretch your mind in interesting ways as you think about how to communicate something complex in a way that your readers will not only enjoy, but also benefit from.

I enjoyed writing it, I hope you enjoy reading and using it.

Chakra Dowsing For Improved Health And Healing

Here is an easy way to find out about the health of your own chakras, or the health of a willing volunteer. I have to say it is a lot easier if you have a volunteer who can lie down while you work – though you can use this technique on yourself.

All you need is a pendulum. I use a shaped lapis lazuli suspended on a chain (similar to the one in the picture), but you do not need to use a crystal. I’ve used a watch on a chain (like they use in hypnosis), or any weight I could fasten to a piece of string. They all work.

Chakra dowsing. This was at a training workshop and the chakras have been located with crystals to assist the students.

You might want to ‘condition’ your pendulum before you start to use it for chakra work. This is more to convince you that something will happen once you start to test chakras than for any other reason. Just suspend the pendulum from your dominant hand at the full length of its chain. Then ask yourself any question for which the answer is a definite ‘yes’. You could say “is my name…?” and state your name. Then watch the pendulum with an expectation of movement. The pendulum will move in one of four ways. It will describe a clockwise circle; an anticlockwise circle; it will swing back and forth; or it will swing from side to side.

Repeat the process but this time ask yourself a question for which the answer is a definite ‘no’. Again wait and watch for the movement. It will move in a different direction this time.

Now you have satisfied yourself that your pendulum will respond you can start work on some chakras. For this description I am going to assume that you have a volunteer. If you haven’t then just work on yourself with your head propped up comfortably so that you can see the pendulum. You will need a mirror to see what is happening with your throat and crown chakras, but the rest you will probably be able to see ok.

Start at the base chakra (if you are unfamiliar with the names and locations of your chakras then you will find chakra descriptions here ) suspend the pendulum about an inch above the physical body at the chakra location, empty your mind of trivia by focusing on the pendulum and holding the intention that you wish to see the chakra condition reflected in the pendulum’s movement.

In a healthy chakra the pendulum will describe a clockwise circle around 3 inches in diameter. The speed of movement of the pendulum indicates the vigour of the chakra. Sluggish movement, no movement, a very small diameter circle, or a distorted circle, all indicate health problems. If the movement describes a narrow oval I usually find that the long axis of the oval is pointing towards the problem area in the body.

Repeat this process for all seven chakras.

If there is a problem with any of the chakras I have found two excellent ways to fix them. I appear to have some healing ability so I usually just work with the energy until the chakra is restored to normal functionality. In my own experience this produces immediate relief from symptoms.

The other method is to use visualisation. I use this technique with my hypnosis clients who come to me for help with physical problems and I find it very powerful. I’ve reproduced this in  a Chakra Meditation CD so that you can easily benefit from this technique.
