Connections- A Meditation for Energy Flow

Our bodies are really nothing more than big balls of energy that require balance to stay moving.  From our physical bodies, to the function of our mental mind, and the deep feeling emotions in our spirit, we can make connections that encourage us to listen to this energy and empower us to nourish and care for all that we are.  If we only focus on our physical health, we may find in time that we suffer mentally and emotionally.  Vice versa, if we don't spend enough time making positive choices for our body through proper nutrition, exercise, and environment, we will become mentally unsupported, stressed, and even depressed.  Thanks to Eastern philosophies that have recognized the need to bring all aspects of our wellness together, we have been gifted the Chakra system and the tools it takes to keep the energy flowing in ways that help us live our best life.  We should take time each day to focus on the health of our seven chakras.  Through meditation, aromatherapy, and yoga poses we can find routines that elicit the flow of positive energy, make us aware when things feel "off", and bring us back to the simple ways we can care for ourselves and others.  The following meditation is one way we can slow down and listen to our being, reminding us we are whole, and we are connected.

Spend time reciting the following mantras for each chakra.  Then, put on some relaxing music, close your eyes, find stillness, picture the color and location of the chakra in your mind, and feel the flow of the healing energy.
​
Picture
Muladhara, the Root Chakra (The Color of Red, Located at the Base of the Spine).  I am safe and supported.  I am grounded in my life and I have the ability to make others feel safe, secure, and grounded, as well.  I am able to meet all of my basic needs, and I am able to move seamlessly with the ebb and flow of life.  I do not fear my existence.  I am connected to nature, I trust in natural laws, and I know I will always be provided for.  I am. 

Picture
Svadhisthana, the Sacral Chakra (The Color Orange, Located 2 Inches Below the Belly Button).  I feel creative.  I feel passionate and enjoy the things that bring me pleasure.  I feel good about my relationships with others, and strive to make them feel good about their relationships with me.  I feel at peace that I have enough, and I am enough.  I share my feelings easily and willingly.  I feel.

Picture
Manipura, the Solar Plexus Chakra (The Color Yellow, Located 2 Inches Above the Belly Button).  I can be powerful and strong.  I can use my personal power in healthy ways to express my self-worth and feel centered in who I am.  I can help others recognize the warrior within and express their power, as well.  I can accept the world around me and thrive to live in a place of peace.  I trust, respect, and take responsibility for myself.  I can.

Picture
Anahata, the Heart Chakra (The Color Green, Located in the Center of the Chest).  I love and accept myself completely.  I love and accept others, using compassion, hope, and trust in my interactions with the world around me.  I cultivate joy easily, and my actions of love and kindness are genuine.  I deserve to be loved completely and unconditionally for all that I am.  I love.

Picture
Vishuddha, the Throat Chakra (The Color Blue, Located at the Base of the Neck).  I speak my truth and follow my dreams.  When I speak, I say what I mean and I mean what I say.  I express myself easily and authentically.  I know when to speak, and when silence will better serve me and others.  I use my words to positively impact the world around me and always weigh the impact of my ideas  before I put them into the universe.  I speak.

Picture
Anja, the Third Eye Chakra (The Color Indigo, Located Between the Eyebrows).  I see myself both inside and out.  I trust my inner vision and act upon my intuition.  I see what cannot be seen, that beyond the physical world.  I see others and am open to their thoughts and ideas.  I see my past experiences as guides to a better future, and I see the future in a wave of light and love.  I see.

Picture
Sahasrara, the Crown Chakra (The Color Purple, Located on the Top of the Head).  I know I am connected to something greater than myself.  I was created with divinity, the same divinity that is present in all of existence, divinity that comes from God.  I know who I am in my body is not my true self, for my true self exists beyond the physical form.  I live united with others in my knowledge that we are all connected.  I know.

Note:  My information about Chakras comes heavily from the text "Chakra Healing" by Margarita Alcantara.  I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in deepening their base of knowledge on this topic.
