This meditation will help you to stimulate your energy centers or chakras (in yogic theory) . However, for all of my Christian brothers and sisters out there, if the yoga part makes you feel a little uncomfortable you could offer up a prayer of thanksgiving to God for each thing that's associated with each of the energy centers. Tmis meditation was also inspired by a weird dream that I had a long time ago. Instructions:
A. To begin, get nto a comfortable position, take several deep cleansing breaths, close your eyes and allow yourself to relax completely.
B. Now picture yourself standing in a room with eight hoes of different colors all in a row. What size and shape are they? In addition before entering the holes, it would be a good idea to have a blanket with you. You won't need it at first, but later on you will.
C. Now you fall through the first hole. The colors are various shades of red and pink. It's very hot, but there isn't anything in this hole that can burn or hurt you in any way. As you go through it, it stimulates the first energy center that's associated with earth and home. If you wish, you could say this prayer: "Thank you God for grounding me to earth and connecting me with nature"
D. After that, you come to an orange colored hole. You notice that it's not as hot as the red and pink one. This hole is associated with creativity, reproduction, and sexuality. You'll also notice that the energy enters your lower back, belly, and pelvic areas. If you like you could say this prayer: "Thnk you God for that creative, birthing energy and for helping me to keep my hormones as balanced as they can be. (In more ways than one)!
E. Next, you come to a hole that's a sunny yellow color. The temperature in this hole is warm. The energy enters your upper belly and solar plexus regions which are associated with your will and emotions. If you'd like you could say this prayer: Thy will be done".
F. Now you come to the next hole. It's various shades of green. You'll notice that it's slightly cooler than the previous ones. The energy of this hole enters your heart which is associated with unconditional love and compassion for others. If you like, you could say this prayer: "Thank you God for your unconditional love toward me and I pray that you would show me how to extend that to others even though I may feel like killing them sometimes".
G. Now you come to a hole that's various shades of blue. You'll notice that it's cooler than the green one. And I bet you're glad that you brought along your blanket so that you can wrap it around yourself. Sense the energy entering your throat. If you wish, you could say this prayer: "Thank you God for clarity of expression and for showing me how to speak the truth in love".
H. Next, you come to a hole that's indigo, purple, and violet. It's the 2nd coldest hole in the sequence. And by now you're sure glad that you brought your blanket with you. The energy from this hole enters your third eye point in between your eyebrows. This center has to do with your instincts and intuition. If you like you could say this prayer: 'Thank you God for discernment, instincts, intuition, knowledge and wisdom".
I. Now you come to a hole that's all the colors of the rainbow. You go through it so fast, that you don't have any time to experience any one color.
J. Last, but not least, you come th the final hole. It's light violet, silver, gold, and white. There are crystals hanging from the ceiling and wind chimes tinkling all about. This is the coldest hole in the sequence and I bet you're glad that your blanket is handy! The energy associated with this hole eners your crown center at the top of your head. Which is associated with spirituality. If you want, you could say this prayer: "Thank you God that I don't have your job because I sure as heck don't want it".
K. Now when you're ready, allow yourself to return slowly to the room that you're in, sense your relationship to whatevr you may be sitting or lying on, take one more deep cleansin breath, count slowly to 5, stretch yourself out a little, gradually open your eyes and get reaquainted with your environment. Carry the feelings of calm, peace, and relaxation with you as you go on with the rest of your day or evening.
I hope that you've enjoyed this meditation. In a couple of days I'll be back with another one with a simular theme to this one. Until then, ~Nameste~
