Be Your Own Guru with Chakra Meditation!
Chakra meditation is the primary way to target and channel your body’s energy. Of those who have tried meditation, many will relate to a commonly-experienced difficulty, that of maintaining concentration. Picture yourself settled in a peaceful environment – perhaps a secluded patch of grass in the backyard or a quiet, unused room in your home. You may light candles or incense, and eventually close your eyes, ready to feel the sensation of calm washing over your body. For several moments you might be successful, experiencing the blissful tranquility of an uncluttered mind, and a spirit at rest. But as you continue your practice, your mind might start to drift. Thoughts, worries, and plans for the rest of the day can easily intrude, without your realization. Before you know it, you are making a mental grocery list and reminding yourself of a dentist appointment later in the week; you’ve lost the mindful concentration needed to sustain meditation. If you’d like to overcome this difficulty and experience the benefits of meditation in your daily life, try this simple step-by-step guide!
Step 1: Find Your Focus
As a central tenet of chakra healing, meditation is an essential practice. If you’d like to start accessing the restorative power of meditation, you need to learn to target your thoughts towards your particular area of need. Your seven chakra energy centers control the many functions of your body – including mental, physical, and emotional aspects. When one or more of these energy centers is closed or deficient, the result is the manifestation of a problem. Is there a specific part of yourself that you’d like to heal? Chakra-based meditation can help you address it. For instance, targeting the Solar Plexus Chakra as you meditate can help you overcome issues with self-esteem or lack of confidence. Take some time to figure out what you’ve been struggling with before getting started.
Step 2: Find Your Guide
For the beginner, meditation is best completed with a guide. The Chakra Healing home-study course comes with easy meditation exercises that allow you to focus on feeling the energy of your chakra centers as you meditate, instead of continuously having to clear your mind of external thoughts. If you find that your mind still drifts to other subjects, even during guided meditation, keep in mind that it’s not easy to disconnect from the material world. This is a feat that must be achieved over time. If you keep at it, your persistence will pay off.
If you find yourself harboring skepticism regarding meditation, remember that positive energy can go a long way. The practice of chakra meditation is all about cultivating your own positive energy, and opening the seven chakras so that this positive energy can flow freely through your body. As such, negative beliefs about meditation can denigrate your capacity to open the chakras and experience the power of your own energy. Approaching meditation with an open mind, a sense of humor, and optimism can help you to start seeing the benefits of chakra meditation from the get-go.
Step 3: Make Meditation Part of Your Day
When you’ve made up your mind to adopt the practice of meditation, you must make a conscious effort to integrate it into your daily routine. This can be extremely difficult – no doubt your day planner is already on overload. Not to worry, if you find it hard to stick to a schedule when it comes to meditation, the best approach is to simply optimize the times when you find yourself alone or with a few extra minutes on your hands. For instance, if you’re feeling particularly stressed at work, switch out one of your usual coffee break for some restorative chakra mediation. You needn’t go far to find a quiet place either; depending on where you work, an empty break room or an unused cubicle will do the trick. You’ll feel the difference when you do get back to work.
As you get comfortable working the practice of chakra meditation into your daily routine, your ability to sustain focus will increase. You may even be able to meditate on your own, without the aid of a guide, by closing your mind to distractions. Over time it will become easier for you to experience a feeling of release from worldly obligations as you engage in meditation. You’ll find that those intruding thoughts – the ones that could so easily disturb your practice when you first started meditating – don’t knock you off track so easily. And most importantly, chakra meditation will get you on the right track to tapping into your body’s energy centers and experiencing the benefits of chakra healing. If you’d like to harness the power of the chakras through the practice of meditation, take some time to learn about your seven chakras today.
