Everything is energy! Naturally this also includes human beings. At a level invisible to most of us, this energy cannot be seen, heard, nor felt. However there are many who can see people’s aura, which is essentially someones energy field, or the vibrational energy radiating from the human body. Also there are others who practice the art of Reiki, which is the harnessing of one’s energy to empower and heal themselves or others. Directing this energy, for the most part, through the mini energy chakras found in the palm of the hands. Aside from these advanced spiritual beings however, the bodies energy is not as easily accessible to many. There may be some who struggle with keeping their emotions and state of mind in balance, as well as others who feel depressed or excessively anxious.

To help those who struggle with awakening, purifying, and balancing their vibrational, energetic frequency – one of the best methods is to utilize Kundalini meditation. Kundalini is a form of meditation that focuses on the 7 major energy centers within the human body. These energy centers, also known as chakras, are aligned with the spine and are an excellent way of unifying the inner bodily system in accordance with it’s outer natural state. A healthy chakra is one that is opened, supported, filled with infinite love, yet also protected.

Quick, Effective Ways To Open The 7 Major Chakras…

1. Muladhara (Root) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s root chakra, which is located on or below the pelvic floor muscles, meditate on the element of earth. Envision yourself becoming one with the Earth as an invisible tether of light extends from your root chakra down into the ground. Extend this filament of light into the rich soils, absorbing the nutrients it has to offer. In the process, imagine your root chakra opening and filling with the strength of infinite love and light. Other beneficial ways of focusing on the root chakra would include grounding yourself by going barefoot, hugging a tree, dancing, using crystals, wearing the color red, or burning red beeswax candles. ♥

2. Swadhistana (Sacral) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s sacral chakra, focus Kundalini meditation just below the belly button. Use a hand position (mudra) that connects this chakra to the element of water, such as thumb to pinkie finger. Sit near or close to bodies of water or have a bowl of purified water or a fountain placed nearby your meditation space. Laughter, smiling, and blessing food and water to enhance it’s cell structure are also great ways of bringing this chakra into alignment. Imagine it opening as a flower as it’s filled with healing love and light. Use crystals to aid the meditative state, wear the color orange, or burn orange beeswax candles. ♥

3. Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s solar plexus chakra, focus Kundalini meditation just above the belly button. This chakra represents the element of fire, thus burning yellow beeswax candles is great with this chakra. Also, wearing yellow clothing or using yellow crystals or those that ignite creativity, passion, and positivity. It may also be of benefit to adopt a power pose to heighten one’s levels of confidence in order for this chakra to fully open. Pursue whatever makes you happy and feel most alive. Finally, try rubbing the belly by moving the hand clockwise to fill the chakra with energy, and moving the hand counter-clockwise to help release any negative, built up energy that is no longer serving you. ♥

4. Anahata (Heart) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s heart chakra, focus Kundalini meditation on the chest and heart. This chakra represents the element of air, the all-encompassing life-force prana (or breath) that supports us all. Focus on the breath and breathe in love and light while exhaling any toxins from the system. Practice being able to love yourself fully, be open to receive and forgive, as well as adopt an attitude of appreciation and gratitude. Wear the color green, use crystals, or burn green beeswax candles as extra tools to help focus the mind on healing this chakra. Fill the lungs with the infinite abundance of the Universe. ♥

5. Vishuddha (Throat) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s throat chakra, focus Kundalini meditation on the middle of the throat. This chakra represents the element of ether (aether), or pure spirituality, energy, and essence. To open and heal this chakra, breathe deeply and be more aware of the language you use. Especially considering words carry an energetic influence. They have power and weave spells. Speak more often than not of positive thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Chanting a mantra is also useful for this chakra, as is burning blue beeswax candles or using crystals that are of benefit such as turquoise or aquamarine. ♥

6. Ajna (Third Eye) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s third eye chakra, focus Kundalini energy on the middle of the forehead, between the eyes. Notice your thoughts and focus on a clear vision. Dispose of any negative thinking that weighs your energy down and if any new thoughts creep up that aren’t beneficial, release them without expectation or judgement. Imagine the third eye opening and awakening, what color is it? Wear indigo colored clothing, burn indigo colored beeswax candles, or use crystals that help amplify this process such as amethyst or purple fluorite. ♥

7. Sahasrara (Crown) Chakra:

To open, balance, and purify one’s crown chakra, focus Kundalini at the top of the head. Imagine the energy of all the other open chakras billowing up from the root and bursting through the crown in a miraculous fountain of shimmering colors. Meditate on the frequency of abundance. Several crystals such as amethyst, diamond, or clear quartz may be of benefit to this process, as well as burning violet colored beeswax candles or wearing violet colored clothing. ♥

The path to happiness and peace is an inside job. The moment we take responsibility of our power, instead of externalizing it and relying so much on others, we grow and evolve, becoming our greatest version. During meditation, breathe in the infinite love and light of the cosmos and breathe out all forms of blockages and negativity. Including but not limited too; guilt, rejection, judgment, sadness & grief, fear of failure, being stuck in the past, stubborn and unforgiving tendencies, perfectionism, resistance, and feelings of insignificance.

To remove these, become one with and connect to them in order to move through it, release their hold on you, and let them go. Doing so will help clear any stuck, stagnant energy in your energetic aura field, open and align the chakras, and help you feel ready to take on the World. ♥
