Written below is a simple chakra cleansing meditation that will facilitate a body and spirit cleansing, allowing for the unity or ‘yog’ among the many levels of your consciousness.
Notice each chakra blockage, call it into your mind with as specific of detail or memories as possible, be present to it and then use your mind to dissolve your attachment/stagnation.
Begin to notice incompletions or blockages you have with regard to the chakra centers:
1st Chakra is the Root chakra is located at the base of your tailbone, and it is associated with the color red. This is where we are connected to family, community and planet-notice where you feel unable to grow in these areas, notice what in your past is unresolved here, what past upset might be associated with this area. Then breathe into this area, imagine a pool of red light in this area, and as you release past tension see the pool of red light becoming calm and relaxed.
2nd Chakra is our Power center and is located in the center of our reproductive organs and corresponds to the color orange. Here we find the center of our thoughts and behaviors around sexuality, creativity, money. Notice concerns or blocks to your self expression in these areas, notice any recurring financial struggle or challenge being intimate with another. Call into your mind any memory or old family story that may be associated with lack of creativity. Imagine a pool of orange light at the uro-genital area, see the pool becoming more peaceful as you release these blockages one breath at a time, until you feel a new sense of peace in this area of your body.
3rd Chakra is the Solar Plexus, located at the level of the diaphragm and connected to the color yellow. This is the center of our sense of idenity and self worth: reflect on the level of self love you have been willing to receive and experience. Spend a good amount of time releasing from here any sense of not deserving love, not belonging/fitting in; also release any poor digestion and the use of foods or drinks to feel loved. Become present to any challenges in expressing your emotions. Breath into this 3rd chakra, imagine a yellow pool of light here. Call into this pool any of these old patterns, and then release them, one by one, seeing the yellow light becoming brighter and more clear.
4th chakra is the heart center in the middle of your chest, associated with the color green. The Heart chakra allows us an unending supply of love and joy. Bring to your awareness the blocks to love, any sense of judgment or resentment, any sense of shame. Bring these negative feelings into this emerald green pool of light, and one by one let them go…imagine your heart floating lightly within your chest, practice sending the light from your heart out from your chest like the ripple in a pond of water- see people nearby being surrounded by this loving light-giving this love is the best way to grow our heart;
5th chakra is the blue colored throat Chakra, the communication center and the place where we share our voice with the world. Notice any resistance to saying what you want to say, any place where you are shy or where you hesitate to speak your mind. Look into your memories and see what event or what thought might be blocking this self expression. Call these old stagnated patterns into the blue pool at the center of your throat and breath through them, releasing them, seeing the pool of light relaxing into stillness.
6th Chakra is the 3rd eye located between the eyebrows and is the reception station for intuition. It is associated with an Indigo or violet color and ruled by the Pituitary gland, the master hormone gland of your body. Begin to see where you are attached to the way things should look, the way people should behave or think. Release old stale images of yourself, of others, come to a clear and peaceful pool of Violet light at the center of your eyebrows and imagine this eye opening;
7th Chakra is the crown and our connection to the infinite source. This is embodied by a glorious pure white light just above the crown of our heads. This chakra allows us to move beyond the realm of self and individual so that we may access the connection to the universal life force. Spend time letting go of all earthly attachments to people, to family, to friendships, to future and allow yourself to move into a timeless unity beyond your current understanding, allow the universal love force to gently and lovingly penetrate your being with beauty, peace and light.
