Muladhara Grounding Meditation
We begin with Sama Vritti pranayama practice to calm the nervous system. We orient toward the earth, the element associated with the root chakra, contemplating your local natural surroundings. In this meditation we focus our attention on the breath, cultivating a steady mind.
Svadishtana Chakra Meditation: Mudita
We begin with a water drinking meditation, as water is associated with the second chakra. We then cultivate joy and pleasure, qualities associated with this chakra.
Third Chakra Meditation: Tratak
In honor of the third chakra, which is associated with the fire element, we will work with a candle-gazing meditation. The instructions are simple: watch the flame of your candle without blinking. This will cause the eyes to water, which is considered cleansing. If you must blink, then as with most meditations, just begin again. As thoughts arise, let them go, offering them up to the flame.
Anahata Chakra Meditation: Tonglen
Tonglen is a Tibetan word for “giving and taking”. In this meditation we work with breathing in and out of the heart, touching on practices of lovingkindness, compassion, letting go, gratitude, and generosity.
Visuddha Chakra Meditation: Mantra
In working with the throat chakra, we recite the mantra Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu (may all beings be happy and free). You are welcome to chant it outwardly or inwardly to bolster your communication, strengthen your authentic voice, and enhance integrity.
Ajna Chakra Meditation: Vipassana
We begin with chanting the sound of Om 6 times and the practice of alternate nostril breath. We then settle into vipassana (insight) meditation, watching whatever arises.
Seventh Chakra Meditation: Samyama
Here we work with the practice of Samyama, observing different objects and beings around us, contemplating their qualities, and considering those qualities within ourselves.
