*SEQUENCE OF CHAKRA ANUSANDHANA*

*#SEQUENCE OF CHAKRA ANUSANDHANA#*

Chakras are vast pools of energy in our bodies which govern our psychological qualities.
There are seven main chakras 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:

The Muladhara (root) chakra.
The Svadhisthana (sacral) chakra.
The Manipura (solar plexus) chakra.
The Anahata(heart) chakra.
The Visuddhi (throat) chakra.
The Ajna (third eye) chakra.
The Sahasrara (crown) chakra.

1..Opening the *Muladhara* Chakra
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, relax,  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.

2..Opening  the *Svadhisthana* Chakra .
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.

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.

3..Opening the *Manipura* Chakra . This chakra encircles confidence, especially when in a group. When open, you should feel in control and have good feeling of dignity in yourself.
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 .

4..Opening the *ANAHATA* Chakra ..
This chakra is all about love, caring, and endearment. When open, you seem to be compassionate and friendly, always working in amicable relationships.
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.

5..Opening the *VISUDDHI* Chakra ...
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.

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.

6..Opening the *AJNA* Chakra ..
Like it's name, this chakra deals with insight. When open, you have excellent clairvoyance, and tend to dream a lot.

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.

7..Opening the *SAHASRARA* Chakra ..
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 you and you seem to become more aware of the world and it's connection to yourself.

Concentrate in the Crown Chakra and what it stands for, at the very top of your head.

Silently, but clearly, chant the sound "OM" (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 in the Crown Chakra.

Once all of the Chakras are opened, the energy evens out and becomes balanced. One may go wrong without the guidance of Master/GURU.

You can sit on a chair or in a folded blanket.Your legs should not be crossed and feet should be in some cloth while meditating. Try to meditate daily.
