Chakra Meditation for Healing Mind, Body, and Soul
Chakra meditation is the key to physical health, emotional stability and mental clarity. That is because our chakras work as conductors, filtering energy from the heavens and earth so that they can unify. Chakras are literally energy vortexes. The unification of these energies is what forms a chakra. It is a vortex of moving energy, which then stimulates various endocrine organs in the body to secrete hormones into the blood stream. Chakras are depicted as a kind of funnel with smaller funnels inside of that funnel. They are also often compared to appearing like lotus flowers. Many also have intuitively viewed the intake of individual chakras as appearing similar to the blades of a fan or a windmill rotating in circular motion.
Chakras are doors which admit our prana- life energy to flow throughout our aura. Their central purpose is vitalizing the physical body, and to foster awakening of our self-consciousness. They are connected with physical, mental and emotional faculties. There are seven major chakras which are universally recognized.
The aura is generally considered as the eighth chakra. Our first chakra (root) actually extends outside of the body. It is housed in between the thighs…just halfway between the knees and your physical body. The seventh chakra, known as the crown chakra, is situated on the top of the head. The rest of the chakras, (sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, and eye), are arranged in sequence along the spine, neck, and skull. Individually, chakras resemble funnels with petal-like openings. Although chakras are not visible to the human eye, they can be perceived psychically by trained subtle-energy workers.
