Meditation to clear Chakras

The body has 7 major energy centres, often referred to as chakras, which are aligned along the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head. These centres are associated with different parts of the body on a physical level as well as on many other levels. The centres can become blocked, preventing the free flow of energy around the body, and this can manifest as emotional problems, mental issues or even as physical pain. A good explanation of what each centre relates to can be found here.

This is a slightly longer meditation as it works through each of the centres in turn repeating the same process to bring light down from the soul and help clear any blockages. However, it is well worth spending some time on to get the most benefit, particularly if you are already aware that a particular centre needs clearing.

I have represented each energy centre as a sphere of light in this meditation, however you may wish to adapt it to visualise coloured spinning disks or glowing gems. There is no wrong way to do this, just keep an open mind and keep that connection to the higher consciousness of the soul centre and see what may materialise and what insight you may be given.

As an example, I will write in the comments below this post the images that came to me the last time I used this meditation.

Meditation
Quieten your mind and consciously release any tension that you feel throughout your body.
Visualise a golden ball of light within the earth and take a strand of that light up through the base of your spine and let it rest in your heart centre. Next, visualise a white ball of light just above your head in your soul centre and allow a strand of that light energy to flow through the crown centre at the top of the head and down into your heart centre. Take a moment to adjust to being connected above and below.

Base or Root Centre
Begin with the base centre and visualise a red sphere of light located at the base of your spine. Note whether it looks a little dull or faded. Bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre just above your head, taking it through the crown, through the brow, through the throat, heart and stomach and into the base centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the base centre is bright and shining.

Sacral Centre
Now move up to the sacral centre which is located just below your navel. Visualise an orange sphere of light and note any dull or faded areas. Again bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre, just above your head, taking it through the centre of your body and bring it to rest in your sacral centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the sacral centre is bright and shining.

Solar Plexus Centre
Move up to the solar plexus centre which is located in the centre of your stomach area just below your ribs. Visualise a yellow sphere of light and note any dull or faded areas. Again bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre, just above your head, taking it through the centre of your body and bring it to rest in your solar plexus centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the solar plexus centre is bright and shining.

Heart Centre
Next move up to the heart centre which is located in the heart. Visualise a green sphere of light and note any dull or faded areas. Again bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre, just above your head, taking it through the centre of your body and bring it to rest in your heart centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the heart centre is bright and shining.

Throat Centre
Move up to the throat centre which is located in the throat. Visualise a blue sphere of light and note any dull or faded areas. Again bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre, just above your head, taking it through the head and bring it to rest in your throat centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the throat centre is bright and shining.

Brow Centre
Now move up to the brow centre which is located above the eyes in the centre of brow. This centre is also known as the third eye. Visualise an indigo/violet sphere of light and note any dull or faded areas. Again bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre, just above your head, and bring it to rest in your brow centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the brow centre is bright and shining.

Crown Centre
Lastly, move up to the last centre within the body: the crown centre which is located at the top of the head. Visualise a white sphere of light and note any dull or faded areas. Again bring a strand of white light down from the soul centre, just above your head, and bring it straight down to rest in your crown centre. Feel this centre being energised and filled with life force energy. Continue to visualise the flow of light until the crown centre is bright and shining.

Now that you have worked through each of the seven major energy centres within the body, scan through your whole body to check that each centre is shining brightly and that all appear equal in size. If any still appear too small, or too large, simple visualise bringing light down from your soul centre above your head to that centre until it feels balanced.

When you are content that all of your centres are balanced and re-energised, slowly bring your senses and awareness back into the room, become aware of the feeling of the earth beneath your feet and open your eyes when you feel ready.
