Music And The Chakras

Music resonates the body's energy system - the Seven Chakras. It stimulates these centers, awakening them and releasing the storehouse of creative vital force that is waiting there to be discovered, giving listeners glimpses into the deepest aspects of themselves.

There is a system for attributing specific notes to chakra energy centers....

Consciously Working With The Chakras

Root Chakra
From  Angel Matrix Art

So let me introduce the practice of entering your chakras every morning, with the intention of working consciously with your spirit. Drop your intention to your first chakra, to the base of your body, to the root of your spine. Put your attention there. This is your connection to Mother Earth. Feel yourself connected to that earth energy. Picture yourself sitting on wet earth. Picture yourself smelling that fragrance of newly cut grass. Feel yourself embraced by the soft wind of early morning. Feel sun on you. Feel sound around you. There is only you and the Earth now. You and Gaia.

This is your connection to your own life, to who you are, to the experience of being alive....

Chakra Affirmation Meditation

Our minds control our energy. The universe responds to whatever you think. If you say you’re too poor, the universe will deliver just that. If you say you are happy, you will become that. Do it yourself and watch how saying the positive brings in the positive.

What follows is a simple Chakra Affirmation Meditation:

Go into Meditation.

Tune into your 1st chakra 

and find something positive to say to yourself on a survival level....

Current news update:

This little blog has been sitting unfinished for quite a long time, and I am now, finally in the process of making things right. What I have decided to do is to move the content out of blogger and onto my own website, shirleytwofeathers.com. As part of this process, I have created several mini-sites devoted to "Healing Outside The Box." Chakra Central is one of those sites, and all of the Chakra information will eventually be moved over there. As I move the posts, I will link them individually. I am sorry for any inconvenience or confusion this may cause. Bright Blessings!

Chakra Zen Incantations

The Thinking and Breathing incantations in Eric Maisel's book entitled Ten Zen Seconds: Twelve incantations for Purpose, Power and Calm are as simple as counting from one to two.

Here's how it works - First take in a deep breath. Second release a cleansing breath out. The thought is a phrase that is to be spoken outloud. The words are to broken down into two parts so that it has a rythmic tone to it....

Chakra Balancing Meditation

Visualize a little red ball of light spinning at the base of your spine. This is the root chakra. Mentally note any color that it is and the direction it is spinning if possible. Begin to mentally change the hue of the ball to a brilliant, clear, ruby red.

Encourage the chakra to spin in a clockwise direction if it is not already doing so. Once the root chakra is spinning in the proper direction with the correct hue, expand it until your whole body is surrounded by this brilliant red light. Diminish the red sphere until it has returned to the little red ball of light at the base of your spine.

Slowly turn your attention upward to the orange ball of light slightly above the root chakra......

Three Steps to Balancing the Chakras

There are three steps to a successful chakra balancing meditation or technique:

First, you must clear each chakra of negative energy. Negativity is represented by a dirty, murky looking chakra. You must change the color of the chakra to the most brilliant shade you can imagine. Sprinkles of white can be mixed into any chakra to lighten the color to the shade you need.

Second, you must balance them. Similar to the tires on a car, chakras must be balanced to ensure proper alignment and direction. Each chakra should be rotating in a clockwise direction. This may mean that you stop a chakra from spinning and encourage it to reverse its direction.

Third, you must charge them by infusing them with energy. This is done by making the chakras larger or smaller so that each chakra is the same size. The meditation and slide show presented here will help you with these steps.

Are Your Chakras Balanced?

At Chakra Energy.com I found a short questionnaire to help you learn more about your energy centers. Most questions have two parts. Be honest with your answers.

Their questionnaire is designed to help you to understand more about yourself. So don’t rush through the questions but rather try to reflect on each question before answering. And make sure you can honestly answer each question to be true at least 90% of the time.

You can use your results to see what energy centers are strongest in as well as which ones you need to work on.

The Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra is located near the inside of the top of the head or slightly above your head and corresponds to the connection of Divine energy. It is the highest energy vibration. It is affected by prayer, meditation, and one's feelings toward the Diety. Any extra external energy you need for cleansing purposes come through this chakra....

The Chakras

Chakras are concentrated points of energy. There are many chakras all over the body, but most healing systems focus on the seven major chakras that are placed at intervals in a line roughly corresponding to the spinal column.

Some cultures picture the chakra as a spinning wheel or sun, others as a flower, a lotus or rose, its petals unfolding as the chakra is activated. Each chakra has its own color and function as laid out below:

1. Root of the Spine - Red - Vitality, sex drive, personal attraction, power.
2. Spleen - Orange - Will power, intelligence, logic.
3. Solar Plexus - Yellow - The most important chakra. Helps control and direct energy effectively.
4. Heart - Green - Love, growth, wealth, generosity, nature.
5. Throat - Electric blue - Psychic change and control, creativity, healing.
6. Brow - Indigo - Telepathy, mediumship, psychic communication, intuition.
7. Crown of the Head - Violet - Spiritual lessons, psychic power, complete understanding fulfilment.
