Chakra Meditation- Svadisthana (Sacral) Chakra

Colour-Breathing Meditation for 

Svadisthana/Sacral Chakra

Get comfortable.. if you`re lying down let your whole body relax and become comfy. If you`re sitting, then relax your hands on your lap or at your side, whatever way feels comfy.

And close your eyes. This is your time now, so leave all your worries at the door. Allow yourself to relax into the flow of the moment. Whatever comes easily for you is just right. There is only right here, right now, the future and the past do not exist right now.

Notice any sounds outside of the room, acknowledge them and let them go. Notice any sounds inside of the room, acknowledge them and let them go.

Tell your body to relax. Let your feet & legs soften into position. Drop your shoulders. Relax your hands. Allow your full body to soften down and relax into a natural position. Now tell your head and face to relax. Your scalp and hair. Your ears, your jaw and chin, your cheeks, your nose, your eyes, and your eyebrows..your forehead, all soft and relaxed. 

 Take a cleansing breath in…and breathe out the tension in your body.

Allow your breathing to fall into its own natural rhythm, not trying to control it in any way. Just observing as you breathe in relaxation, and breathe out tension. Breathing in, breathing out. Just watching the natural rhythm of your breathing.

If thoughts intrude, allow them to flow on past, and return your attention to your breathing. Breathing in, breathing out (repeat).

Bring your attention to your abdomen. Imagine a lovely little orange light there…swirling around like a little whirlpool. Try to notice how it feels, how it looks. Try to get a sense of how it is functioning, can you feel any tingling? What thoughts are popping into your head? Is it swirling and moving, what speed is it, does it feel fast or slow, a little small light or a big enlarged light. Can you see any colour in your minds eye?

 Now bring your attention to your breathing- breathing in relaxation breathing out tension. (repeat) Now begin to breathe in some orange light into your abdomen area- into your Sacral Chakra, breathing in orange light. Watch as the orange glow starts to gently spread out. With every in-breath you pull in more fresh orange light, allowing it to fill your Sacral Chakra and your abdomen, allowing it to spread further outwards… Breathing in orange light energy, breathing out tension. (repeat). 

 As you breathe in this orange light it brings you happiness, fulfilment, creativity.. As you breathe out, you allow this orange light to remove all blocks and toxins.  Let the orange light fill you, as it spreads down to your toes, and up to your chest..spreading out into your full body and into all other chakras. Feel the lovely orange glow as it gently spins and envelops you. Tell yourself you are emotionally fulfilled. You welcome all healing pleasures in life. You are creative.  Breathing in joy, breathing out tension. (Repeat).  

(Closing down the Chakra): Bring your attention back to your abdomen, to the orange light of the Sacral Chakra. Visualise it getting smaller, bringing it down to around the size of a fairy light, bringing it to normal function. Repeat to yourself “My Sacral Chakra is working at normal function”.  

Bring your awareness back to the flow of your breathing, in and out, in and out. Notice the cool breath as it comes in through your nose and down the back of your throat and into your lungs. Notice the natural movement of your tummy as you breathe, in and out. Be aware of your full body again as it rests against the floor. Bring your attention to your toes, and give them a little wiggle. Then to your fingers and give them a little wiggle. Give your shoulders a little shrug. Let yourself be aware of the room again, of all the sounds close by. And when you feel ready to, you can open your eyes. 

Exercise for Activating Prana (Energy)/ Hara:

The Hara or Chi Point is close to the Sacral Chakra, and is the energy store of the energy system. It is situated at the physical body`s central axis (centre of gravity/balancing point). Just like a storage heater in the room it can be activated to pump a warm glow throughout the body,  then left to rest and store energy for use at a later time.

1.     Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, feet pointing forward and your knees comfortably bent.

2.     Take 7 deep relaxing breaths.

3.     Bring your hands to your navel with palms facing each other about 20cm apart. If you wish to close your eyes to help with visualisation you can.

4.     Visualise that you are holding a ball of sparkling, silver light energy -prana- between them (silver ball will purify the breath).

5.     As you inhale slowly, expand the ball by moving your hands away from each other.

6.     As you exhale slowly, bring your hands closer together to concentrate the silver energy. You should start to feel the energy between your hands.

7.     Do 7 inhalations and exhalations in this way, then bring the ball fo silver energy close to your navel and `push` it into your body.

8.     Now hold your hands against your navel and, taking 7 more deep breaths, feel your abdomen expanding and contracting, and the energy ball inside you increasing and decreasing in intensity.

9.     Now, relax and move your body.
