Since time immemorial meditation has been practiced by many who claim that it focuses the mind while de-testing the body. It is an old age technique whereby ancient Eastern belief systems hold that the human body has 7 primary chakras, or energy centers. Visualization can stimulate and release their power in your daily life. The practice of chakra meditation is used by many to combat fatigue and help relieve stress, and to promote overall physical, spiritual and mental health.
To practice chakra one must know his/her chakras and their proper names: the root chakra is based on the base of the spine, the naval chakra at your lower abdomen, solar plexus between your belly button and chest, the heart chakra in the center of the chest, the throat chakra at your Adam’s apple, the brow chakra in the forehead and the crown skull.
Memorize the colors and characters of each chakra.

Practicing the meditation

1. Sit or lie down in your dedicated meditation space. Chakra meditation is one of few meditative forms that do not require you to be seated with your legs crossed. Your back should be straight, though, whether you are vertical or horizontal.

3. Feel your breath travel up your spine as you inhale and down your spine as you exhale. Repeat several times, until you feel your spine has been energized.

4. Begin with your root chakra. Imagine its color. Feel its energy collect. When you have fully visualized your root chakra, move up to the navel chakra.

5. Repeat Step 4 for each of your 7 chakras. When you finish, you may either stop or work your way back down. For each chakra, vividly imagine its color and the property associated with it. Feel that property awaken inside you as you concentrate on it.

6. Use chakra crystals to heighten your practice. Hold

each chakra's corresponding crystal in your hand as you visualize it and feel its power.
