A chakra meditation can either focus on one chakra or, more typically, each of the 7 chakras in turn.
It is generally thought that your chakras reflect your "chi" or life force energy.
Like anything else in your body, it is possible for your chakras to get out of balance.
Which means that the object of this meditation is to rebalance your energy fields.
Sit, stand or lie down.
Whichever you are most comfortable with.
Then start your relaxation as normal by taking a few deep breaths and allowing your eyes to slowly close.
You can either visualize your energy being balanced in each of the appropriate locations or you may prefer just to see the different colors associated with each zone.
A lot of people find it easier to just see colors in the approximate location in their body rather than going back to high school biology lessons and having to actually visualize the different internal body organs.
So we'll take the color approach here.
Start with your root chakra.
This is red in color and is located at the base of your spine.
Imagine a glowing ball of red light that grows in strength each time you breathe in and out.
If the globe starts to spin, allow it to do this.
You may even notice the spinning getting faster and the light glowing brighter - that's fine.
The next chakra to pay attention to is your sacral chakra, found in the region of your abdomen.
This is orange in color and influences your creativity.
As before, allow this color to grow in strength and to spin if it wants to.
After that, it's your solar plexus chakra, which is colored a golden yellow.
In case you're not sure, your solar plexus is found just under your belly button and is associated with "gut" reactions.
The heart chakra is the next to get your attention.
It's an emerald green color and you allow it to grow in intensity, you may well feel the feelings of love that are associated with it.
Moving further up your body is your throat chakra.
This one has a pale blue light and is your center for expression (so the artist in you will love it when you get here!) Next is the brow chakra, also known as your third eye chakra.
As you'd expect, this can be found on your brow or forehead.
This relates to your intuitive nature and is a deep indigo blue in color.
Finally, it's your crown chakra which is located at the top (or crown) of your head and has a violet light.
This chakra is your connection to the universe or the divine, depending on your point of view.
Once this color is spinning nicely, visualize each of the other colors below it in your body also spinning in unison.
Then "open up" your crown chakra to the universe and allow an intense beam of white light to beam itself down from the heavens, filling your body with its radiance and maybe even going right the way down into the ground as your roots.
In your own time, close each color chakra in turn, letting them slow down in speed but keeping their bright, radiant colors.
Gradually allow your body to return to the conscious world.
