A chakra balancing meditation can help bring those pieces of you back into alignment and get back on track.

To get started, get into a comfortable position. This can either be lying down or sitting in a chair, whatever is more comfortable for you. Once you are comfortable you will need to take a few moments to relax your body further. Starting at the tips of your toes, picture a soft, warm, white light travelling slowly up your body. As it moves your muscles begin to relax. It travels up your feet, easing any tension. The white light continues over your ankles, leaving your feet relaxed. It continues to move up your calves and knees, which warms and melts away any discomfort or tension. The soft glowing light move up your thighs and hips, it fills your pelvic bowl with warm and comforting light. You feel your muscles soften and release as the light continues over your belly and lower back. The warm light moves up your chest and shoulders releasing those muscles. The light flows down your arms and out your fingertips. The warmth travels up your neck and around your skull. It flows over your face releasing your muscles, allowing your face to be completely relaxed.
Now allow your attention to go down to the bottom of your spine. This is the place where the base chakra sits. The base chakra is red in color. Take a moment to explore your red chakra and see how bright it is. See how fast or how slowly it is spinning. See if there are any messages here for you. This chakra is connected to your base life needs. Clean off this orb, brighten it up, and get it spinning clockwise.
Move your attention up your body to a place somewhere between your pelvic bowl and your navel. This is the sacral chakra. It is orange in color. Explore this power center and see what comes up. How bright or dim is this point? See how fast or slow it is spinning. This chakra is connected to creativity and to desire. Clean off this orb, brighten it up, and get it spinning clockwise.
As your two bottom chakras continue to spin, move up to your solar plexus. This is the chakra of will. It is yellow in color. Pay attention to any messages that come to you from here.

You should feel energized and refreshed. This chakra balancing meditation can be done at least once a week to help your energy centers and to help you stay more in balance.
Chakra Balancing And Meditation The Essential Tools
Jul 10th
Hindu teachings tell us that the chakras are the important energy centers which are present in every human being. Our chakras are the places at which energy flows through our body. The proper flow of this energy is vital to maintaining our physical, mental and emotional health. You can’t actually see your chakras, but you can see their physical manifestation; major components of our endocrine systems.
Chakras are responsible for regulating the energy that flow into and from our body. This continuous interplay of energy within our body, the environment and objects we come in contact with ultimately requires that our chakras remain in balance in order to be able to function as best as possible for our benefit.
Each of the seven major chakras have their own corresponding functions related to a particular endocrine gland in our body. They are responsible for every sensation, awareness, feeling, sensory and emotional experience we go through as an individual whether positive or negative.
Any kind of stress, whether mental, physical or emotional can negatively affect the balance of our chakras. We can have a loss of energy, even illness as a result of this imbalance. This is a clear sign if there ever was one that our chakras are out of balance.
To get the most of the harmonious function of our chakras, chakra balance must be maintained. Regular chakra balancing is key to keeping in good health, similar to the way that a machine needs preventative maintenance.
Importance of Chakra Balancing: Many different methods can be used to keep our chakras in proper balance. The goal of those who want to lead a happy, healthy and productive life is to keep their chakras in perfect balance with one another.
This all begins with an understanding that each chakra resonates to a different frequency; these frequencies are naturally occurring and help the chakras to perform their important function of transmitting and receiving energy; also known as prana or chi.
During periods of illnesses, our chakras are still functioning but may be out of synch which can hamper the free flow of energy to further aggravate our physical and/or mental and emotional illness. Other contributory factors to the malfunction of our chakra system are undue stress or the inability to cope, suppressed emotions, unhealthy food intake, and lack of exercise.
Though they may be out of synch and not function at their best from time to time, their balance can be restored.
Tools of Chakra Balancing: The methods which are most commonly employed to restore chakra balance are crystals and gems, light, sound, color and aromatherapy.
Colors: Commonly used colors and their corresponding chakras are red (root chakra), orange (sacral chakra), yellow (solar plexus chakra), green and turquoise (heart chakra), blue (throat chakra), violet (crown chakra) and white for all chakras.
Crystals and Gems: For millennia, laying gens, crystals and stones on the body at the location of the chakras has been used to restore chakra balance., Each chakra corresponds to a different color; so laying a stone of this color on the bodily area which corresponds to it can help to reach the proper balance, which in turn helps the body to heal.
The light reflected by these stones can also help by getting this light into the body (and your chakras).
Light: Light therapy employs light not only on the eyes, but also on the reflex points and the meridian points of acupuncture to restore chakra balance. The broad spectrum of light is very beneficial here, including both visible and invisible frequencies, including those corresponding to the chakras.
Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy uses essential oils, scented massage oils and scented bath soaps to assist in the restoration of chakra balance and to help the physical body heal. Aromatherapy can also relieve depression and stress, provide relaxation and aid in meditation.
Sound: Sound therapy utilizes music, tuning forks, quartz, Tibetan singing bowls and other sound creating objects to create a state of well being and to generate frequencies which are resonant with the chakras. Sound has a natural soothing and therapeutic effect due to its direct appeal to the emotions. A beautiful sound can create a state of serenity, while a harsh, discordant on will produce anxiety. Sound can in fact bring about faster healing and a higher state of consciousness.
Chakra balancing up until recently was a quite time consuming process, but recent advances in audio technology such as listening to binaural beat frequencies, subliminal messaging and self-hypnosis meditation recordings have made the process of chakra balancing far easier and quicker for most people.
