Day One - The Root Chakra

The Root Chakra

Sanskrit word: Maladhara

The color for our root chakra is red. The root is based at the base of spine near the tailbone. This is our grounding chakra. In our modern society our base chakra translates to our financial and emotional security. When we are balanced with our first chakra we feel accomplished. We feel at peace about money, safety and shelter.

An overactive chakra will cause anxiety and stress based on fear. This is our fear or survival thought process. Our insecurity in life is interpreted as fear.

An underactive chakra will cause constant day dreaming and having no direction or balance on life.

In this first day we, will concentrate on the root chakra. As you sit in meditation, we will recognize the position of the chakra point that we will be meditating on. Allow your feelings of anxiety and stress to rise within you and allow yourself to release them with peace and love.

Conscious Meditation

Conscious meditation uses outward images to create inward calm. Relaxing the mind is always a challenge. Our mind is always full of chattering and images.

Create an atmosphere for this meditation by lighting a candle and/or incense. Sit in a chair or on a cushion. If you want, you could play meditation background music.

Sit upright or cross legged.

Relax yourself.

Concentrate on your breathing.

Listen to your breathing.

Allow your mind to flow.

Remember to set your timer/alarm for the period that you wish to sit in peace for.

As you sit in this stillness with your mind flowing, breathing in and out, allow a pure white energy to flow into you. .

Keep breathing in and out. Concentrate on the breath. Allow a flow of this energy.

Process your images without any involvement from yourself. Let the images flow through you as though you are watching a movie. With each breath we allow ourselves to detach from the experience.

Concentrate on your breathing. Connect with your Divine energy, breathing in relaxation and acceptance. Breathe in love and healing life, release all negative energy.

Visualize oneness with yourself and the Divine. Visualize yourself as light being. Feel peace within yourself.

Allow time to be without judgement. It is a time of expansion of the spirit. A time of releasing old negative thought patterns.

Give yourself a few minutes to return to normal consciousness.

Journal your experience.
