Energize the Sacral Chakra
According to Pauline Wills, the Sacral chakra governs our love hate relationships and is the centre for pleasure including our love of food, drink and material goods. Located between the pubis and navel, this chakra influences the vitality of our reproductive organs, skin, kidneys and adrenal glands. What follows are methods designed to help charge the Sacral chakra.
Instructions
1. Sit in a comfortable position and center yourself. Visualize energy being pulled up from the earth through your spine and spreading throughout your body. Next picture a beam of healing energy flowing down your head and through your body. When you feel the calm flow of energy, proceed to the next step.
2. Awaken the Sacral chakra by visualizing a beam of orange light entering your body through your feet, moving up your legs and filling your Sacral chakra. As you exhale, picture the energy radiating from your Sacral chakra to your aura. Perform this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes noting any sensations (vibrations or heat) or until the exercise feels complete.
3. Stimulate the chakra points in your hands and feet. With your palms up, find the metacarpal bone at the base of the thenar eminence. Exert pressure on the area by gently massaging the point in a clockwise motion. Repeat this procedure with each foot locating the point where the navicular bone meets the heel bone.
4. Practice your breathing. Sit in a comfortable position and concentrate on your natural breathing rhythm for about 5 minutes to quiet your mind. Begin by breathing out and contracting your abdomen to rid your lungs of as much air as possible. Hold the out breath to a count of 2, then breathe in to the count of 7, relaxing your abdomen and filling it completely with air. Hold your breath in for the count of 2, then exhale to the count of 7. Repeat this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes taking note of the effect it has on your Sacral chakra.
5. Try the "Ooo" mantra exercise. Find a comfortable position and begin to intone the Ooo (as in "you") mantra by rounding your lips and exhaling the mantra until you are out of breath. Make your intonation gentle, noticing where the sound resonates in your body. Experiment until you find a tone that vibrates in your abdomen. Then project the tone into your Sacral chakra as you continue the exercise.
