Chakras are the main pools and passages where energy flows in your body.

In fact
, 'chakra' is the sanskrit word for spinning wheel. Each chakra deals with a cer
tain aspect of human and spiritual existence, and therefore opening them is vita
l to all forms of energy training and manipulation.

Crown (Sahaswara) Chakra

A photo about places and colors of chakras.
Ibrahim99Added by Ibrahim99
Location: Top of the head; the 'crown'
Color: Violet
Alignment: Spirit
Description: The sahaswara chakra allows full understanding of the world around
you, and essentially life itself. This does not necessarily mean looking at some
thing and instantly knowing what it is, but when you see things, you understand
them, and you learn from them. Once opened, you will have a full understanding o
f your inner self, and know your soul and the universe just as well as you know
your body, and the earth. This is achieved by an acceptance of the fact that eve
ry living being is a creator, and that you are simply a spirit in a body, not on
ly understanding both beauty and pain, but being detached and impartial to both
of them, which is the beginning of what is basically known as an 'englightened'
mind. It is important to remember that this chakra can be helped and influenced
by these meditations, but to open it fully is an extreme process that few people
have done.
Summary: Enlightenment
Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra
Location: Just above the eyebrows at the middle of the forehead
Color: Indigo
Alignment: Light
Description: The ajna chakra allows a connection to the energies that reside ins
ide of you and the rest of the world, and the ability to view, understand, and m
anipulate them. In addition to this, it provides an overall better ability for e
nergy work, to see through what is false and what is the truth, and to better vi
sualize and create new things. It is opened by eliminating the stress, confusion
, anxiety, and denial that you hold in your life and realizing what little power
all of the things that cause these feelings have over you, and that you are the
sole person who controls your life, and can create your own influence, and trut
hs. This is the highest chakra that can be practically opened, and it is encoura
ged to do so for the sake of psionic practices, though should be done in additio
n to the five lower chakras.
Summary: Intiution
Throat (Vishuddha) Chakra
Location: Throat
Color: Blue
Alignment: Aether
Description: The vishuddha chakra allows full self-expression. The first four de
al with more basic human functions, but this energy center is where individualit
y shines and you can become your own person, freely expressing your opinions and
truths regardless of other people. Lying to ourselves and obstructions from our
own happiness that we accept into our own lives is what prevents us from mainta

ining a healthy throat chakra, so any lies such as these must be eliminated in o
rder to fully open this chakra. This is a very important chakra, and without it,
none of us would show any signs of what we consider to be humanity, so it is vi
tal to keep it opened to allow our inner selves to flow.
Summary: Expresson
Heart (Anahata) Chakra
Location: The Heart
Color: Green
Alignment: Air
Description: The anahata chakra, when open, allows you to see through the hate a
round you and accept all of the love that goes on within the rest of the world,
even the love for yourself, as in blocking out negative energies and accepting p
ositive ones, which is important in order to show any strength in psionic practi
ce. If you open this chakra, it is important to be very in touch with yourself d
uring the process, forgiving past emotional scars once and for all (very difficu
lt) and learning not to let those things hurt you the same way again, all the wh
ile letting even the tiniest seeds of love and happiness blossom and grow within
you. This is essentially the point that connects your upper and lower chakras,
and is very important to leading a healthy life.
Summary: Love
Solar Plexus (Manipura) Chakra
Location: Just below the center of the ribcage, between the navel and the heart
Color: Yellow
Alignment: Fire
Description: When the manipura chakra is opened, it strengthens our will and giv
es us the energy to make our wants and desires real and tangible things. It is o
ne of the main 'storage centers' of energy within our bodies, and when gathering
energy in your practices, this is a good place to allow it to pool, in addition
to the dan tien. When opening this chakra it is important to maintain a respect
for yourself and the world, and keeping your ego small and under control. In ad
dition to this, you must eliminate and let go of the shame and guilt you feel in
your life, possibly on a daily basis, and understand that you are not defined b
y anything someone says about you. Once this is achieved, the chakra is opened,
and your energetic center is improved.
Summary: Power
Sacral (Svadhisthana) Chakra
Location: Just below the navel
Color: Orange
Alignment: Water
Description: The svadhisthana chakra allows you to feel the deepest emotions and
desires within yourself, understand them, and achieve the most basic and fundam
ental form of balance within your soul. Opening this chakra is all about seeing
through what is and isn't beneficial to your life, including emotions that distr
act you from your goals and desires, and attaining the emotional stability you n
eed to feel at all at peace within your own skin. To open the sacral chakra, you
must also understand your limitations in addition to your desires, and learn a
harmony between the two. This chakra is vital to any endeavor you make within yo
ur lifetime, and if you open it you will feel a greater understanding of your em
otions and conflicts in life. \
Summary: Desire
Root (Muladhara) Chakra
Location: Base of the spine
Color: Red
Alignment: Earth
Description: The muladhara chakra is the most basic chakra, all about survival a
nd fear, and when it is open you are basically just able to fulfill your simples
t human needs, food, water, primal desires, etc. The most important thing to ope
ning this chakra, however, is fulfilling the innate human need to belong somewhe
re, among friends or family, and feel at home and safe. If this, and any of the
previously mentioned points are not at least moderately fulfilled, any other hig

her energy pool cannot properly function. People who have opened their crown cha
kra yet not eaten for weeks are only able to do so because they've cut off their
lower chakras, so please don't disregard the importance of this chakra unless y
ou plan on doing this.

Exercise 1: Meditation for Opening All of the Chakras
Link: http://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/open.php
This exercise is used to energize and "open" the Chakras.
Lie down flat on your back, probably on a bed, with your arms out to your sides,
palms up. This is called Shivasana, or the "corpse pose".
Begin to meditate, breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth. Meditat
e until you reach a void mind state and a connectedness with all things and your
energy.
a. Focus on the Root Chakra at the base of the spine. Begin to chant out loud, "
om" ("oohhhmmmm", over about 5 seconds), and let this mantra energize and vibrat
e through the Chakra. Focus on the color red. Use intention to spiral the prana
around the Chakra counterclockwise. As you continue to chant "om", visualize a r
ed flower blooming at the base of the spine. Continue this, taking note of any f
eelings at the Chakra, until you really feel that the Chakra has become active.
b. Move on, focus on the Sacral Chakra below the belly button. Begin to chant ou
t loud, "om", and let this mantra energize and vibrate through the Chakra. Focus
on the color orange. Use intention to spiral the prana around the Chakra counte
rclockwise. As you continue to chant "om", visualize a orange flower blooming at
the sacrum. Continue this, taking note of any feelings at the Chakra, until you
really feel that the Chakra has become active.
c. When you are ready, focus on the Solar Plexus Chakra below the chest. Begin t
o chant out loud, "om", and let this mantra energize and vibrate through the Cha
kra. Focus on the color yellow. Use intention to spiral the prana around the Cha
kra counterclockwise. As you continue to chant "om", visualize a yellow flower b
looming at the plexus. Continue this, taking note of any feelings at the Chakra,
until you really feel that the Chakra has become active.
d. Again, focus on the Heart Chakra in the chest. Begin to chant out loud, "om",
and let this mantra energize and vibrate through the Chakra. Focus on the color
green. Use intention to spiral the prana around the Chakra counterclockwise. As
you continue to chant "om", visualize a green flower blooming at the heart. Foc
us on the idea of unconditional love blooming at the Heart center. Continue this
, taking note of any feelings at the Chakra, until you really feel that the Chak
ra has become active.
e. Next, focus on the Throat Chakra in the throat. Begin to chant out loud, "om"
, and let this mantra energize and vibrate through the Chakra. Focus on the colo
r light blue. Use intention to spiral the prana around the Chakra counterclockwi
se. As you continue to chant "om", visualize a light blue flower blooming at the
throat. Continue this, taking note of any feelings at the Chakra, until you rea
lly feel that the Chakra has become active.
f. Moving on, focus on the Third Eye Chakra between the eyes. Begin to chant out
loud, "om", and let this mantra energize and vibrate through the Chakra. Focus
on the color Indigo (purplish blue). Use intention to spiral the prana around th
e Chakra counterclockwise. As you continue to chant "om", visualize an Indigo fl
ower blooming at the Third Eye. Continue this, taking note of any feelings at th

e Chakra, until you really feel that the Chakra has become active.
g. Finally, focus on the Crown Chakra around the top half of the head. Begin to
chant out loud, "om", and let this mantra energize and vibrate through the Chakr
a. Focus on the color Violet(purple). Use intention to spiral the prana around t
he Chakra counterclockwise. As you continue to chant "om", visualize an Purple f
lower blooming at the crown of the head. Continue this, taking note of any feeli
ngs at the Chakra, until you really feel that the Chakra has become active.
h. With all the Chakras active and spinning, try and put your focus on all of th
em at once. Continue to just breath, and experience the prana generated through
the Chakras in the spinal column (Sushumna). There is no goal here but to experi
ence the generated prana and the associated feelings. You may pass to a dream st
ate and have visions. You may even experience spontaneous Kundalinic or Pranic a
wakening and a strong magnetic feeling creeping up the spine.
i. When you are finished, go back through the Chakras in reverse order
hem closing. Focus on each in sequence from the Crown back down to the
ualize a flower of the appropriate color closing back up, and use your
to slow the flow of energy until they are not fully active. Stand up,
drink a glass of water.

j. Please note that when 'taking note of any feelings at the Chakra' is mentione
d, we are referring to eliminating or dealing with associated events that could
have potentially set that chakra out of balance or closed it off. Even if you do
not naturally notice these blockages, they are present in everyone, and you sho
uld try to meditate and take care of them if you wish to truly open the chakras.
This is a vital part of the process.
Side Note: If you so desire, you can use the full mantra: om mani padme hum (ohm
mah nee pod may hum) in place of just 'om', if you feel you need something more
powerful.
