How to Control a Chakra

There are seven focal points in the body called chakras. You can control your chakras through meditation, focusing your thoughts on the different areas of your body.



A guided meditation can help you remain focused as you concentrate on your chakras. If you cannot find someone to lead you through a meditation or prefer to be alone, you can use a recording. Consider preparing your own recording by reading a meditation that leads you through the chakras and helps you visualize the power within each.

  Sit comfortably with your legs crossed, your spine straight and your body relaxed.

  Breathe deeply and picture your root chakra, located at the base of the spine and associated with health, constitution and security. Repeat the deep breaths and keep your attention on the energy in this chakra, feeling it grow.

  Turn your focus to the feelings of love, passion and sexuality center in the naval chakra in your lower abdomen. Continue breathing deeply, relaxing the muscles in your buttocks, abdomen and pelvis.

• 4

  Continue your deep breathing while changing your thoughts to the solar plexus chakra, just above the navel and below the chest, which center on will, personal energies and concentration. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to focus on this chakra.

• 5

  Move your mind to the middle of the chest where the heart chakra and feelings of love radiate from here as forgiveness, compassion and harmony.

• 6

  Open your mouth to breathe, this time thinking about the power of communication and the ability to realize and convey knowledge and wisdom, even to create. The throat chakra is located between the chin and top of the sternum.

  Imagine the effect of your breathing on the brow chakra, also known as the "Third Eye" because it is on the forehead, just above the eyes. It relates to perception, intuition, insight and imagination.

  Relax and feel the center of your spirit at the top of your head, the crown chakra, where you find your spirit, will, inspiration and higher self.
