Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed~ Chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system~ The functioning of the chakras reflects decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our life~ We open and close these valves when we decide what to think, and what to feel, and through which perceptual filter we choose to experience the world around us~The chakras are not physical. They are aspects of consciousness in the same way that the auras are aspects of consciousness. The chakras are more dense than the auras, but not as dense as the physical body. They interact with the physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the seven endocrine glands, and also with a group of nerves called a plexus.
Thus, each chakra can be associated with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland associated with that chakra~
All of your senses, all of your perceptions, all of your possible states of awareness, everything it is possible for you to experience, can be divided into seven categories~ Each category can be associated with a particular chakra~ Thus, the chakras represent not only particular parts of your physical body, but also particular parts of your consciousness~
When you feel tension in your consciousness, you feel it in the chakra associated with that part of your consciousness experiencing the stress, and in the parts of the physical body associated with that chakra~ Where you feel the stress depends upon why you feel the stress~ The tension in the chakra is detected by the nerves of the plexus associated with that chakra, and transmitted to the parts of the body controlled by that plexus~ When the tension continues over a period of time, or to a particular level of intensity, the person creates a symptom on the physical level~The symptom speaks a language that reflects the idea that we each create our reality, and the metaphoric significance of the symptom becomes apparent when the symptom is described from that point of view~ Thus, rather than saying, "I can't see," the person would describe it as keeping themselves from seeing something.
"I can't walk," means the person has been keeping themselves from walking away from a situation in which they are unhappy~ And so on~The symptom served to communicate to the person through their body what they had been doing to themselves in their consciousness~ When the person changes something about their way of being, getting the message communicated by the symptom, the symptom has no further reason for being, and it can be released, according to whatever the person allows themselves to believe is possible~We believe everything is possible~ We believe that anything can be healed~ It's just a question of how to do it~Understanding the chakras allows you to understand the relationship between your consciousness and your body, and to thus see your body as a map of your consciousness~ It gives you a better understanding of yourself and those around you~

It's the level of the soul~ When one experiences a sense of separation from their father, they close the crown chakra, and experience a sense of isolation and aloneness, as if they are in a shell, and having difficulty with feeling contact with those around them~ Thought processes tend to justify and maintain the sense of aloneness~ The view from this chakra includes seeing one's Self as the single consciousness creating all, and paradoxically, thus connected to all, like a dreamer dreaming a dream and realizing that all that is perceived is just an extension of their own consciousness~

It is the place where our true motivations are found, and is the level of consciousness that directs our actions and, in fact, our lives. It is also from this point of view that one sees events in the physical world as the manifestation of co-creation among the Beings involved in those events~

Chakras and their colors
Chakras are energy centers that control the inward and outward flow of energy from our physical being. In most cases these centers remain inactive / dormant as a result of which people remain ignorant about their psychic and intuitive powers. As a first step towards opening Chakras, one needs to awaken these centers from their dormancy state; the best way to do this is to sit in a quiet room with eyes closed, keeping the entire focus on the Chakras, one at a time. Try to visualize each Chakra like a flower (having the color associated with the Chakra on which you’re focusing) blossoming slowly outward from the spine. Before we proceed further, let’s take a moment to have a look at the colors attributed to each Chakra.
1. Crown Chakra…White
2. Third Eye………Purple
3. Throat Chakra….Blue
4. Heart Chakra…...Green
5. Solar Plexus……Yellow
6. Sacral Chakra…..Orange
7. Root Chakra…….Red
Awaken the Chakras
Remember not to force the Chakras to open, especially if they have been lying inactive for ages. It would create a lot of pressure on the soul and the mind which might even suffer a ‘psychic shock’. It would be like waking up someone from deep sleep and expecting him to dance in a full swing without giving him some time to attune his body to the sudden change from sub conscious to the conscious state. The body might pick up all kinds of energy around it and the consequent overload could cause total chaos and confusion for the doer of such meditative practice. So, the thumb rule is…..Work your way upward from the base and go slow.
The Awakenings are some of the more important of the beginners meditations but when attempting them you should take your time and use these along with the meditations in the beginners .
During the meditations you will feel pressures, headaches and nervous responses they will grow or weaken in intensity during your progress so do not be alarmed, you are opening unused parts of yourself and you will feel it.
Opening Chakra Meditation for Relaxation and Perfect Health
1. Go to a quiet, positive place where you won't be distracted by anyone or anything. Close your eyes, keep your spine upright to promote proper energy flow, and take your attention to your breathing. Follow each inhalation and exhalation you make.
2. Ask for a protective white light to surround you in a bubble of healing energy. Now that you have asked for this protection, you will only attract positive energy and information.
Your opening chakra meditation will begin to enhance your physical well-being by allowing your chakras to fully open and release healing energies throughout your physical body.
3. After 2-3 minutes of gentle, deep breathing you should be feeling relaxed and ready to expand your chakras. If you notice any thoughts which conflict with your focus on your breathing, let them go as soon as you become aware of them and return your focus to your breath.
4. Take your attention now to the base of your spine. This is where your root chakra is located. Allow your thoughts to stay in the base of your spine and begin to visualise a beautiful red rosebud starting to open into a magnificent red flower.
Red is associated with the base or root chakra. Practising an opening chakra meditation on the colour of red will further open this chakra to release its full healing energies throughout your body. Once you have visualised this chakra, imagine its healing red energy expanding from that source and filling your entire body.
5. When you feel that your red chakra (red rose) has sufficiently opened to its full extent, visualise moving up your spine a couple of inches from the base. This close neighbour north of the root chakra is called the sacral chakra.
As the sacral chakra is associated with the colour of orange and the nearby sexual organs, begin to visualise a tight orange rosebud beginning to open and transform into a stunning orange rose.
Allow its healing orange light to pervade every cell of your body by visualising it travelling out from its source to every major area in your body, infusing it with healing orange light.
6. Move next to the area behind your navel and meditate on a magnificent golden rosebud in the same way. Deep yellow or gold is the colour associated with the solar plexus, the area behind your belly button. Allow this majestic golden hue to fill every pore of your body and restore any imbalances it may encounter within your bodily sytem.
7. Travel next up to your chest cavity to the place of your heart chakra. This is associated with a deep green healing colour, so meditate at this point on a green rosebud opening to spread its verdant healing energy throughout your chest area and the rest of your body.
8. When you are ready, allow your opening chakra meditation to move further up and into your throat region. Here lies the throat chakra which is associated with the colour of blue.
Meditate at this point on the image of a blue rosebud slowly opening to infuse your throat with its healing blue energy before encouraging it to spread its healing throughout your body. This blue meditation will also help to clear up any problems you may occasionally experience in your throat area.
9. Next the meditation moves up to your third eye, the area between your eyebrows and the home of all psychic imagery and clairvoyance. Take your focus to the area between your eyebrows and visualise a serene purple rosebud slowly opening to infuse you with greater perceptive powers and healing energy. Allow this purple healing light to move throughout your system and transmit its healing energy to every far corner of your physical body.
10. Lastly, raise your awareness to the area just above your head, as though a trap-door in your skull had opened up to a top deck where a magnificent white rosebud is slowly opening. Allow this powerful spiritual white energy to flourish as you imagine the white rosebud opening. Allow its healing white light to cascade down your body and infuse every cell with its healing, spiritual goodness.
11. When you are ready, return your awareness to your breath and make sure you are still breathing more deeply than normal. This meditation can last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes and will infuse you on every level with energy and a general sense of well-being and peace.
Allow your intuition to direct you as to the length of the meditation: some days you will desire to stretch it out and draw on the full benefits of the practise, while other days you need only harness it for a few minutes to feel the improvement. Practise and experience will show you which path to take when using this meditation.
If you ever find yourself doubting whether you are using this meditation correctly, remember to keep your practise very simple and focus on enjoying the experience.
Please also remember that your Spirit Guide can always be asked for advice if you desire further guidance to enhance the efficiency and enjoyment of your opening chakra meditation. You are never alone when seeking to travel further along the path of your spiritual journey and your Guide is always there to help you whenever you call on them.
