According to Hindu and/or Buddhist belief, chakras are vast (yet confined) pools of energy in our
bodies which govern our psychological qualities. There are said to be seven main chakras in all;
four in our upper body, which govern our mental properties, and three in the lower body, which
govern our instinctual properties. They are:
The Muladhara (root) chakra. The Svadhisthana (sacral) chakra. The Manipura (solar plexus)
chakra. The Anahata(heart) chakra. The Visuddhi (throat) chakra. The Ajna (third eye) chakra. The
Sahasrara (crown) chakra.
According to Buddhist/Hindu teaching all of the chakras should contribute to a human's wellbeing. Our instincts would join forces with our feelings and thinking. Some of our chakras are
usually not open all the way (meaning, they operate just like when you were born), but some are
over-active, or even near closed. If the chakras are not balanced, peace with the self cannot be
achieved.
Read on to discover the art of becoming aware of the chakras, as well as a very reliable
technique designed to open them.

Understand that if you are opening your chakras, there is no need to try and
make over-active chakras less active. They are simply compensating for the
inactivity of closed chakras. Once all of the chakras are opened, the energy evens out, and
becomes balanced.

Open the Root Chakra (red). This chakra is based on being physically aware and
feeling comfortable in many situations. If opened, you should feel well-balanced and
sensible, stable and secure. You don't distrust people around you for no reason.You feel
present in what is happening right now, and very connected to your physical body. If it's
under-active: you tend to be fearful or nervous, and easily feel unwelcome. If it's over-active:
you may be materialistic and greedy. You feel as if you should be secure and are
unwelcome to a change.
Use the body and become aware of it. Do yoga, walk around the block, or do
some manual house-cleaning. These activities let your body become known to you,
and will strengthen the chakra.
Ground yourself. This means that you should connect with the ground, and feel it
beneath you. To do this, stand up straight and relaxed, put your feet shoulder width
apart, and slightly bend your knees. Move your pelvis forward a little, and keep your
body balanced, so that your weight is evenly distributed over the soles of your feet.
Then sink your weight forward. Stay in this position for several minutes.

After grounding yourself, sit cross-legged, as shown in the picture below.
Let the tips of your thumb and index finger touch gently, in a peaceful motion.
Concentrate on the Root chakra and what it stands for, at the spot in between the
genitals and the anus.

Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound "LAM."

All this time, let yourself relax, still thinking about the chakra, it's meaning, and how
it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed. You may have a "clean" feeling.
Visualize a closed red flower. Imagine a very powerful energy radiating it: it slowly
opens showing four red petals full of energy.
Contract the perineum holding breath and releasing.

Open the Sacral Chakra (orange). This chakra deals with feeling and sexuality. If
open, feeling are released with liberty, and are expressed without you being overemotional. You would be open to affinity and can be passionate as well as outgoing. You
also have no problems based on sexuality. If it's under-active: you tend to be unemotional or
impassive, and are not very open to anybody. If it's over-active: you tend to be sensitive and
emotional all the time. You may also be very sexual.
Sit on your knees, with your back straight, but relaxed.
Lay your hands in your lap, palms ups, on top of each other. Left hand underneath,
the palm touching the back fingers of the right hand, and the thumbs touch gently.
5 / 17
08/09/2014
Concentrate on the Sacral Chakra and what it stands for, at the sacral bone (lower
back).
Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound "VAM."

All this time, let yourself relax, still thinking about the chakra, it's meaning, and how
it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed. Again, you may have a "clean"
feeling.
6 / 17
08/09/2014
Open the Navel Chakra (yellow). This chakra encircles confidence, especially
when in a group. When open, you should feel in control and have good feeling of
dignity in yourself. If it's under-active: you tend to be passive and indescisive. You could be
frequently apprehensive and this doesn't reward you. If it's over-active: you tend to be
imperious and aggressive.
Sit on your knees, with your back straight, but relaxed.
Put your hands before your stomach, slightly below your solar plexus. Let the
fingers join at the tops, all pointing away from you. Cross the thumbs and straighten
the fingers (this is important).
7 / 17
08/09/2014
Concentrate on the Navel Chakra and what it stands for, at the spine, slightly
above the navel.
Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound "RAM."

All this time, let yourself relax even more, continuing to think about the chakra, it's
meaning, and how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed. You should have a "clean" feeling
(for every chakra).
8 / 17
08/09/2014
Open the Heart Chakra (green). This chakra is all about love, caring, and
endearment. When open, you seem to be compassionate and friendly, always

working in amicable relationships. If it's under-active: you tend to be cold and unfriendly. If
it's over-active: you tend to be so "loving" towards people that you suffocate them, and you
could be seen as selfish for it.
Sit cross-legged.
Let the tips of your index finger and thumb touch on both hands.
9 / 17
08/09/2014
Put your left hand on your left knee and your right hand in front of the lower part of
your breastbone.
Concentrate on the Heart Chakra and what it stands for, at the spine, level with the
heart.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "YAM."

All this time, continue to relax your body, and think of the chakra, it's meaning, and
how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed, and the "clean" feeling returns
and/or intensifies within your body.

08/09/2014
Open the Throat Chakra (light blue). This chakra is based on self-expression and
communication. When the chakra is open, expressing yourself is easy, and art seems
to be a great way to do this. If it's under-active: you tend not to speak too much, so you are
classified as shy. If you lie often, this chakra can be blocked. If it's over-active: you tend to
speak so much, it annoys a lot of people. You could also be a pretty bad listener.
Once again, sit on your knees.
Cross your fingers on the inside of your hands, without the thumbs. Let the thumbs
touch at the tops, and pull them up a bit.
11 / 17
08/09/2014
Concentrate on the Throat Chakra and what it stands for, at the base of the throat.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "HAM."

All this time, keep on relaxing your body, thinking of the chakra, it's meaning, and
how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this for about five minutes, and the "clean" feeling will intensify once
again.
Open the Third Eye Chakra (blue). Like it's name, this chakra deals with insight.
When open, you have excellent clairvoyance, and tend to dream a lot. If it's underactive: you tend to look up to other people to think for you. Relying on beliefs too often, you
also tend to be confused most of the time. If it's over-active: you tend to live in a world
imagination all day long. In the extremes, you could suffer from frequent daydreams or even
hallucinations.
Sit cross-legged.

08/09/2014
Put your hands in front of the lower part of the breast. The middle fingers should be
straight and touch the tops, pointing away from you. The other fingers are bent and
touch at the two upper phalanges. The thumbs point towards you and meet at the
tops.
Concentrate on the Third Eye Chakra and what it stands for, a little above the
center of the two eyebrows.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "OM" or "AUM."

All this time, relaxation of the body should come a bit naturally, and continue to
think of the chakra, it's meaning, and how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until the same "clean" feeling seems to come back or intensify.

Open the Crown Chakra (purple). This is the seventh and most spiritual chakra. It
encircles a being's wisdom and being one with the universe. When this chakra is
open, prejudice disappears from your To Do list, and you seem to become more aware of
the world and it's connection to yourself. If it's under-active: you tend to not be very spiritual,
and may be quite rigid in your thoughts. If it's over-active: you tend to intellectualize things all
the time. Spirituality seems to come first in your mind, and if you are really over-active, you
may even ignore your bodily needs (food, water, shelter).
Sit cross-legged.
Lay your hand before your stomach. Let the little fingers point up and away from
you, touching at their tops, and cross the rest of the fingers with the left thumb
underneath the right.
Concentrate on the Crown Chakra and what it stands for, at the very top of your
head.
14 / 17
08/09/2014
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "NG" (yes, this chant is as hard as it looks).
All this time, your body should now be totally relaxed, and your mind should be at
peace. However, do not stop concentrating on the Crown Chakra.
This meditation is the longest, and should take no less than ten minutes.
WARNING: don't use this meditation for the Crown Chakra if your Root Chakra is
not strong or open. Before dealing with this last chakra, you need a strong
"foundation" first, which the Root exercises will present to you.

Tips
Sit in a quiet and warm area, treat this exercise as you would a meditation. During the
summer, you could sit in a field or in a garden. During the winter, a warm room with no
distractions. If you have a sauna, although few people do, it is an excellent place to sit,
calm yourself, and clear your head.
