Open Your Chakra

There are different chakras that can be opened using a series of meditation and precise actions. Chakras refer to "force centers" in your physical body that transmit energy to different channels. You can open your root, throat, navel or sacral chakra using specific hand positions to channel positive energy and power.


A lot of people use this technique together with chants and the sounds of Sanskrit letters. While you can have someone help you open your chakra, doing it on your own is a good training for meditation and for enhancing your chakra's power.


Instructions


Root and Throat Chakra


1. Touch the tip of your index finger to the tip of your thumb and focus on your root chakra. The root chakra is located in between your anus and genitals.


2. Do this for at least seven to 10 breaths while chanting a long "LAM."








3. Move the fingers toward your palm, allowing them to cross without your thumbs, to start opening your throat chakra.


4. Touch the tips of your thumbs at the top of your hands while pulling them gently up. Your throat chakra is located at the bottom part of your throat.


5. Do another loud "LAM" for your chant.


Navel and Sacral Chakra


6. Place your hands right before your stomach area. Stretch out your hands and fingers away from you, keeping your thumbs crossed. Make sure your fingers remain straight while you concentrate your attention to your navel chakra. This is right at your back or spinal area and above your navel.


7. Chant a long "LAM" while keeping your concentration.








8. Position your hands on your lap, while keeping your palms up and with your left hand on top of your right. Your thumbs must be touching it each other while you focus on your sacral chakra, near your lower back's sacral bone.


9. Chant out a loud "VAM."
