Chakra means ‘wheel’ and ‘cycle’ and come from the Sanskrit sources. We have 7 main chakras that we can assess in this dimension. These are energy centers in our being, where perpetual Qi (Prana) is channeled through our system. Each corresponding to different aspects in our lives and supports our mind, body and soul. The energy from each chakra emits a different color.

To strengthen certain aspects in your life, you can channel energy into the corresponding chakra area of your body, visualizing its colour in your mind.

When one of the chakra is blocked or unbalanced, you will feel lack in its corresponding aspects above. If one particular chakra becomes blocked or need balancing, it will start to affect the others. Thus it is better balance all of them. Below is a simple method that can be used:

1. Lie or sit comfortable and take a few deep breaths
2. Imagine the crown chakra just above your head, as see it as a beautiful young violet lotus. Now channel energy down to the lotus while imagining light coming down filling it up.
3. As you channel energy and light down, imagine the lotus blossom slowly, with its violet aura growing stronger and wider.
4. Once you feel the energy, or visualise the violet aura is of sufficient size and strength, move down to the next chakra.
5. Imagine a young indigo lotus at the same level as your third eye and do the same thing as above.
6. Then move onto the next chakra, imagining a lotus in the same location and with the same color as that chakra, and do the same thing as above, until you have energized and cleared all the Chakras.
7. Depending on the amount of energy required to unblock, balance or energies each Chakra, the time you take at each location to see the lotus fully blossom and visualise the colors stronger will vary. So take your time.

You can help balance others, by channeling energy to them, the same way as above, but just visualise the colours as you move from the Crown Chakra down to the Root Chakra.
