Glowing Alignment

All energy, all the forces of the universe, are movements which emanate from one source, the center of all consciousness. We can call it what we like - God, Creator, or Universal Consciousness. Everything that exists carries this point of divinity within itself.

Our chakra system is part of our natural design. All living beings are united by the fact that we have chakras and they work in the same way for us all. Having better understanding of the chakras will increase your ability to notice when things are out of balance and to know what to do to bring them back into alignment. Chakras are collecting pools of subtle energy and subtle energy is very sensitive to mental, physical, emotional and spiritual input.

On an average day our chakras are exposed to many factors that influence and effect them;  interactions with others, self-talk (positive and negative), news reports, electromagnetic frequencies, prayer, music, meditation and movement to name a few. All these outside forces impact (for good or bad) how the chakras move energy throughout our bodies. Fortunately, bringing them back into balance is fairly easy.

One quick method involves quiet breathing and visualization;

Either at the start or end of your day, lie as flat, comfortable and straight as possible

Take a slow deep breath, pause for a moment, then slowly release the breath
Continue normal, relaxed breathing while you do the following:

Picture a red glow surrounding the base of your spine - hold the image for 3 seconds
Picture an orange glow around your navel area - hold the image for 3 seconds
Picture a golden-yellow glow at your stomach area - hold the image for 3 seconds
Picture a green glow surrounding your chest area - hold the image for 3 seconds
Picture a turquoise-blue glow at your collarbone area - hold the image for 3 seconds
Picture a purple glow on your forehead, between your eyes - hold the image for 3 seconds
At the top of your head, picture a bright violet-white light flowing between you and the Universe (or Heaven) - hold this image for 30 seconds (you may also hold it longer)

When you are ready, take a long, slow deep breath, exhale and smile.
