in all; four in our upper body, which govern our mental properties, and three in the lower body,
which govern our instinctual properties. They are:

According to Buddhist/Hindu teaching all of the chakras should contribute to a human's wellbeing. Our instincts would join forces with our feelings and thinking. Some of our chakras are
usually not open all the way (meaning, they operate just like when you were born), but some
are over-active, or even near closed. If the chakras are not balanced, peace with the self
cannot be achieved.

Understand that if you are opening your chakras, there is no need to try and
make over-active chakras less active. They are simply compensating for the
inactivity of closed chakras. Once all of the chakras are opened, the energy evens out,

Open the Root Chakra (red). This chakra is based on being physically aware and
feeling comfortable in many situations. If opened, you should feel well-balanced
and sensible, stable and secure. You don't distrust people around you for no
reason.You feel present in what is happening right now, and very connected to your
physical body. If it's under-active: you tend to be fearful or nervous, and easily feel
unwelcome. If it's over-active: you may be materialistic and greedy. You feel as if you
should be secure and are unwelcome to a change.
Use the body and become aware of it. Do yoga, walk around the block, or do
some manual house-cleaning. These activities let your body become known to
you, and will strengthen the chakra.
Ground yourself. This means that you should connect with the ground, and feel
it beneath you. To do this, stand up straight and relaxed, put your feet shoulder
width apart, and slightly bend your knees. Move your pelvis forward a little, and
keep your body balanced, so that your weight is evenly distributed over the
soles of your feet. Then sink your weight forward. Stay in this position for
several minutes.
After grounding yourself, sit cross-legged, as shown in the picture below.
Let the tips of your thumb and index finger touch gently, in a peaceful motion.
Concentrate on the Root chakra and what it stands for, at the spot in between
the genitals and the anus.
Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound "LAM."

All this time, let yourself relax, still thinking about the chakra, it's meaning, and
how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed. You may have a "clean"
feeling.
Visualize a closed red flower. Imagine a very powerful energy radiating it: it
slowly opens showing four red petals full of energy.
Contract the perineum holding breath and releasing.
Open the Sacral Chakra (orange). This chakra deals with feeling and sexuality. If
open, feeling are released with liberty, and are expressed without you being over-
emotional. You would be open to affinity and can be passionate as well as outgoing.
You also have no problems based on sexuality. If it's under-active: you tend to be
unemotional or impassive, and are not very open to anybody. If it's over-active: you
tend to be sensitive and emotional all the time. You may also be very sexual.
Sit on your knees, with your back straight, but relaxed.
Lay your hands in your lap, palms ups, on top of each other. Left hand
underneath, the palm touching the back fingers of the right hand, and the
thumbs touch gently.
Concentrate on the Sacral Chakra and what it stands for, at the sacral bone
(lower back).
Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound "VAM."

All this time, let yourself relax, still thinking about the chakra, it's meaning, and
how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed. Again, you may have a "clean"
feeling.
Open the Navel Chakra (yellow). This chakra encircles confidence, especially
when in a group. When open, you should feel in control and have good feeling of
dignity in yourself. If it's under-active: you tend to be passive and indescisive. You could
be frequently apprehensive and this doesn't reward you. If it's over-active: you tend to
be imperious and aggressive.
Sit on your knees, with your back straight, but relaxed.
Put your hands before your stomach, slightly below your solar plexus. Let the
fingers join at the tops, all pointing away from you. Cross the thumbs and
straighten the fingers (this is important).
Concentrate on the Navel Chakra and what it stands for, at the spine, slightly
above the navel.
Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound "RAM."

All this time, let yourself relax even more, continuing to think about the chakra,
it's meaning, and how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed. You should have a "clean"
feeling (for every chakra).
Open the Heart Chakra (green). This chakra is all about love, caring, and
endearment. When open, you seem to be compassionate and friendly, always
working in amicable relationships. If it's under-active: you tend to be cold and unfriendly.
If it's over-active: you tend to be so "loving" towards people that you suffocate them,
and you could be seen as selfish for it.
Sit cross-legged.
Let the tips of your index finger and thumb touch on both hands.
Put your left hand on your left knee and your right hand in front of the lower part
of your breastbone.
Concentrate on the Heart Chakra and what it stands for, at the spine, level with
the heart.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "YAM."

All this time, continue to relax your body, and think of the chakra, it's meaning,
and how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until you are completely relaxed, and the "clean" feeling returns
and/or intensifies within your body.
Open the Throat Chakra (light blue). This chakra is based on self-expression
and communication. When the chakra is open, expressing yourself is easy, and
art seems to be a great way to do this. If it's under-active: you tend not to speak too
much, so you are classified as shy. If you lie often, this chakra can be blocked. If it's
over-active: you tend to speak so much, it annoys a lot of people. You could also be a
pretty bad listener.
Once again, sit on your knees.
Cross your fingers on the inside of your hands, without the thumbs. Let the
thumbs touch at the tops, and pull them up a bit.
Concentrate on the Throat Chakra and what it stands for, at the base of the
throat.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "HAM."

All this time, keep on relaxing your body, thinking of the chakra, it's meaning,
and how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this for about five minutes, and the "clean" feeling will intensify once
again.
Open the Third Eye Chakra (blue). Like it's name, this chakra deals with insight.
When open, you have excellent clairvoyance, and tend to dream a lot. If it's under-
active: you tend to look up to other people to think for you. Relying on beliefs too often,
you also tend to be confused most of the time. If it's over-active: you tend to live in a
world imagination all day long. In the extremes, you could suffer from frequent
daydreams or even hallucinations.
Sit cross-legged.
Put your hands in front of the lower part of the breast. The middle fingers should
be straight and touch the tops, pointing away from you. The other fingers are
bent and touch at the two upper phalanges. The thumbs point towards you and
meet at the tops.
Concentrate on the Third Eye Chakra and what it stands for, a little above the
center of the two eyebrows.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "OM" or "AUM."

All this time, relaxation of the body should come a bit naturally, and continue to
think of the chakra, it's meaning, and how it does or should affect your life.
Keep doing this until the same "clean" feeling seems to come back or intensify.
Open the Crown Chakra (purple). This is the seventh and most spiritual chakra.
It encircles a being's wisdom and being one with the universe. When this chakra is
open, prejudice disappears from your To Do list, and you seem to become more aware
of the world and it's connection to yourself. If it's under-active: you tend to not be very
spiritual, and may be quite rigid in your thoughts. If it's over-active: you tend to
intellectualize things all the time. Spirituality seems to come first in your mind, and if you
are really over-active, you may even ignore your bodily needs (food, water, shelter).
Sit cross-legged.
Lay your hand before your stomach. Let the little fingers point up and away from
you, touching at their tops, and cross the rest of the fingers with the left thumb
underneath the right.
Concentrate on the Crown Chakra and what it stands for, at the very top of your
head.
Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "NG" (yes, this chant is as hard as it
looks).
All this time, your body should now be totally relaxed, and your mind should be
at peace. However, do not stop concentrating on the Crown Chakra.
This meditation is the longest, and should take no less than ten minutes.
WARNING: don't use this meditation for the Crown Chakra if your Root Chakra
is not strong or open. Before dealing with this last chakra, you need a strong
"foundation" first, which the Root exercises will present to you.

Tips
Sit in a quiet and warm area, treat this exercise as you would a meditation. During the
summer, you could sit in a field or in a garden. During the winter, a warm room with
no distractions. If you have a sauna, although few people do, it is an excellent place
to sit, calm yourself, and clear your head.
