Chakra
Dhyana
Sit with your eyes closed, spine erect but not rigid
Rest your hands on your thighs with palms facing up,
and index fingertips touching the base of each thumb.
If you wish you may touch the tip of the tongue to the
roof of your mouth. Take several long, slow, easy deep
breaths breathing through your nose, until your body
becomes calm. Sit during this meditation. Do not lie down.
As we come to each chakra, focus your attention on the
indicated area of your body. With each exhale chant the
mantra that is given in a slow, elongated fashion. Begin
with the root chakra (Mooladhara) and work upward to the
Crown (Sahasrara). At the end always allow the energy to
ground, flowing down through your body, and spend a few
minutes in meditation or lie on your back.
1.
Begin with the Mooladhara chakra, located at the
perineum,
midway between your anus and genitals.
Say "Om
Mooladhara".
Visualize its red color. Slowly repeat "Lang"
(pronounced lung)
for a
few minutes, then visualize the chakra
turning liquid
gold
as you say "Kundalini, arohanum" several
times.
2.
The Swadhisthana chakra, located in the
genital
region or at the base of the spine.
Say "Om Swadhisthana".
Visualize its orange color. Say "Vang"
(pronounced vung)
for a
few minutes, then visualize the chakra
turning liquid
gold
as you say "Kundalini, arohanum" several
times.
3.
The Manipura chakra, located at the
navel.
Say "Om
Sri Mani Padme Hum".
Visualize its yellow color. Say "Rang"
(pronounced rung)
for a
few minutes, then visualize the chakra
turning liquid
gold
as you say "Kundalini, arohanum" several
times.
4.
The Anahata chakra, in the center of
your chest,
your
spiritual heart.
Say "Om Anahata".
Visualize its green color. Say "Yang"
(pronounced yung)
for a
few minutes, then visualize the chakra
turning liquid
gold
as you say "Kundalini, arohanum" several
times.
5.
The Vishuddhi chakra, located in your
throat,
at
the Adam's apple or the epiglottis.
Say "Om Vishuddhi".
Visualize its blue color. Say "Hang"
(pronounced hung)
for a
few minutes, then visualize the chakra
turning liquid
gold
as you say "Kundalini, arohanum" several
times.
6.
The Ajneya chakra, located between our
eyebrows.
Say "Om Ajneya".
Visualize its indigo color, the color of
the original
Levi
blue jeans prior to washing them. Say "AUM"
in a
3-2-1 ratio. "A-A-A-O-O-M" for a few
minutes,
then
visualize the chakra turning liquid gold
as
you say "Kundalini, arohanum" several
times.
7.
The Sahasrara chakra, located at the
center
of
the top of your head.
Say "Om Sahasrara".
Visualize its violet color, pastel
purple.
Say "Ogum
Satyam Om" for a few minutes, then
visualize the chakra turning liquid gold
as you say
"Kundalini,
arohanum" several times.
Lie Down in Shavasan
Lie down with your eyes closed immediately after
the meditation and relax for 10 minutes, or as long as
you like. Yoga's Corpse Pose, Shavasan, is good for this
(eyes closed, on your back with arms loosely to the sides,
palms up, legs slightly apart). Let go. Enjoy. Notice the
dynamics of the energy in your body as the kundalini flows.
Or you could proceed
immediately to:
Parvathi Padma Dhyana
(Click
here for more about this)
1. Sit with your eyes closed, spine erect but not rigid,
in any position that is comfortable for you.
2. Visualize a golden lotus at the Sahasrara (crown
of your head), with a stem going down to the Mooladhara
Chakra at the perineum (base of your body).
3. As you inhale, visualize a golden liquid flowing up
the stem from the Mooladhara towards the lotus in your
crown.
4. Hold your breath and visualize the golden energy filling
every petal of the lotus.
5. As you exhale feel the energy coursing down through
every cell in your body (Feel it flood your Heart Chakra,
your lower belly, your hands & your feet).
6. Repeat the cycle at least 7 times.
In my groups I often use this
variation: The energy can also be
exhaled
all the way down down through the feet
into the earth, down into the
core of the planet and out to all the
sentient beings living on the earth,
turning the entire world golden. Then
one would inhale from the earth
up through the soles of the feet to the
crown (and through the crown
into the heavens) and exhale down from
the crown through the feet into
the earth. This is very powerful,
uniting heaven and earth and bringing
healing and transformation to the planet
and to all living creatures on
the earth.
