The Hidden Powers of Chakra
Meditation
Chakra meditation is a unique form of
relaxation that involves deep concentration. By achieving an
uninterrupted level of focus, psychic energy is able to flow up through
your body, energizing and reinvigorating all of your different chakras
along the way.
What is a chakra?
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means
wheel or vortex. The chakras can be thought of as energy centers that
direct the flow of energy through our bodies. Chakras are a part of our
consciousness and how we use them reflects on the decisions that we make
in our lives.
Achieving Peace
There are different ways to practice
chakra meditation, including a method useful for beginners. Before
beginning your meditation, ensure that you are dressed in loose and
comfortable clothes and find a space that is free from noise and
interruption.

The Steps to Inner Harmony
1) Begin by sitting or lying down in a
comfortable position.
2) Turn your attention to one small part
of your body such as the tip of your nose or your big toe. Focus on the
feeling you have in that one small area. Attempt to connect with the
subtle details of that body part.
3) When you have done this, allow the
feeling of concentration to spread to the rest of your toes (if toes are
what you are focusing on). Be careful not to try to absorb too much
information. This meditative practice should be organic in its flow and
should seamlessly spread throughout the body like a gentle wave. If you
feel thoughts of stress or worry invading your circle of peace, go back
to concentrating on that one tiny aspect of your body.
Do not be impatient with this form of
meditation; it does require practice. Many individuals use a special
guide as a way to achieve perfection in the practice. A self tuning
meditation DVD is an ideal way to perform this practice, and uses soft
music and personalized musical tones to lead you to peace (see http://www.tuneyourself.com

See the World Differently
Over time, the practice of chakra
meditation has the power to change your way of thinking. Achieving
success in this form of meditation can bring you to a heightened sense
of awareness in the world and allows you to view your environment
through clearer eyes. For many individuals, practicing chakra meditation
daily has led them to a keen awareness of the causes behind certain
behaviours, as well as a better understanding of others.
