There are seven basic Chakras in our bodies. Each has a location, a function, an influence, and color. They are the seven centers of energy in the human body.
The chakras symbolize the different stages we are to go through to attain the ultimate nirvana. We start at the base center and work up. The ultimate is the crown center, which is almost impossible to attain.
In meditation we focus on the base centre, bring a bright light up through each chakra to the crown centre and back, taking deep breaths through our nose and letting go through our mouth slowly while only focusing on the light and the chakras.
If there is a blockage we will feel it. This is why we need to understand chakra meditation before we start. It's a wonderful way to cleanse our body of blockages. If one of our chakras is blocked we will feel a strange sensation, or different feelings, just relax and either stop or continue on by focusing on just that chakra to find out what the problem is.
Any blockage can be worked out and healed. This is why people feel out of balance. One or more of their chakras are usually blocked. When we do the meditation we should to be in a peaceful and quiet place. Sitting with our feet on the ground and the palms of our hands facing up. Close our eyes and take a few deep cleansing breaths before we start so we signal our intention to relax. Then we visualize a waterfall of cleansing milky light and begin our chakra meditation.
