Chakra Meditation

reply to post by Badge01


Hi thanks for your input, no I honestly have never heard of this fire. I have very little time to visit yoga specialists I just want to learn a good meditation technique thats easy to take up at home. Yes I am very serious about learning how to open my chakras to their full potential.

Your heart chakra colour technique sounds very similar to heart chakra meditation. Do you practise this? If so how do you find it?
The heart chakra is the one that becomes very obviouse to us when it is open, love flows out of it together with a sense of connection to everything. I have no problem knowing when this one has opened.

THE REASON FOR EXPANDING
THE HEART CHAKRA

Conventional wisdom is that all of the seven major chakras must be in balance and aligned. While I do not suggest that this is wrong, I suggest that it is only the beginning. My unconventional wisdom is that all of the chakras are subordinate to the heart chakra and that we reach true spiritual awakening only when we have enlarged our heart chakra to emcompass all there is.

The heart chakra is the midpoint of our physical bodies. It lies halfway between the three lower chakras, which keep us moving in the physical realm, and the three upper chakras, which keep us growing in the spiritual realm.

The heart chakra is also the midpoint in our spiritual bodies. It lies halfway between Mother Earth, who is our connection to the physical plane, and Father Sky, who is our connection to the spiritual plane.

I suggest that in order to be truly balanced, our heart chakra must be expanded to include not only each of the six other major chakras in our physical bodies, but also the entirety of our spiritual bodies. Balance lies in the recognition and acceptance that Love is All There Is. This recognition and acceptance resides in the heart chakra.

An expansion of the heart chakra to encompass all there is means that every thought, word, and deed will be undertaken in Love--that Love will be the constant guiding force on both the physical and the spiritual planes--that nothing we think or do can ever be totally self-centered.

We generally accept that "we" end at our skin--that what is inside the skin is "me" and that what is outside the skin is everything else, "not-me," or "them." I am suggesting that Love--the expanded heart chakra--does not recognize this distinction--that, to a properly expanded heart chakra, all of creation is "us." I am suggesting that the holder of a properly balanced heart chakra has moved beyond the apparent limitations and boundaries of the physical realm and has regained awareness of being a part of the All.

Thank you for your lovely post on the heart chakra psycho! It made me smile just reading it, I love my heart chakra but I have become scared of it in a way. I feel it open and it is bliss it is pure love for everything but then I try and shut it down after say a few minutes. I dont want it to become out of balance. Yet it tryes to remain open, the fight I then have with it makes me all clam up.
Do you think Im Ok just letting it stay open? Oh will I ever sort my heart chakra out

How are you coping with yours if you dont mind me asking?

Thanks again, lovely lovely post.

I guess it just shuts off when I need it to, not so much shuts off but closes it's petals and goes into rest mode to recharge for my next meditation. This is how I visualise it anyway.

Yes love can be overwhelming sometimes but any feelings like this you must look into why you are feeling like this. Is it something you think about, something you see or even sombody you see.

It really does not have to be that difficult, I think the base of chakra meditation is balance connecting mind body and soul.

Once you find balance and understand yourself then it opens up so many doors. Becoming aware of the Ego is what I am working with at the moment and will always work with. In the book "The Power Of Now" Eckhart Tolle says "People have been meditation for years and have not come any closer to becoming aware"

I think he says that because if you do not understand yourself then what are you becoming aware of. I can only share with you what I have experienced myself and some of the things you may never experience. We all take different paths and have to face different obstacles and for me to say "You should be doing this" would be wrong.

Have you guys seen this: uk.youtube.com... ?

Notice how the Planet X (if it is) is right next to the sun, and remember how Planet X went through the sun in my dream? I knew about Planet X before my dream, never really thought about it or cared much so I had no idea what it was supposed to do.

Hi kappo! Yes it could be anything, venus, ballon ect. Apparently a crop circle was seen yesterday in Avebury showing a similar thing. Ive looked at the sun at sun set and never seen a thing but who knows? Wouldnt amateur astronomers be able to pick it up though if it was that close?

I had a dream last night that I was on the moon with a man and a woman. The woman was ranting on at me and pointing to the Earth, she was very annoying and wouldnt shut up. I just looked at the man and rolled my eyes (cant remember who he was) and then she just flew away back to Earth. I remember thinking oh great how am i gonna get back now?
She was very well dressed with lots of make up on, long blonde hair but when I looked closely at her she was not pretty in the slightest. She had a very hard face.

See ya

Hi kappo looks like you are having some fun dreaming pal

I always wake up thinking Ok that was a good dream then end up falling back to sleep. I wake up in the morning and I remember nothing, I know what I am suppose to do but sometimes once I am in bed nothing is moving me

I need sleep tonight though didn't get much last night, when you are off work for 7 days it's scary when you have to go back "That I do fear" not that I don't like my job, it's just that I had such a good time in Scotland. I really want to go back

Hi there! Ive been doing some heart chakra today..and it made me all sad, nostalgic and upset so not doing that again. I was at work with my MP3 player on for like 30 mins watching this radiation machine -it has to be supervised!! just in case it trys to take over the world) so I thought Oh I'll do some heart chakra after our conversation yesterday...no its just unbalanced me totally. Tearfull and sad was all I felt.

reply to post by Mr Green


Sometimes what you are connecting to you is that human unknown and that sadness is about becoming whole, its a field of great knowing and a field of great doings.

Keep it up, most likely you are cleansing an old persona that needs no more life.

Yup I was really sad yesterday night. I was just thinking about how peaceful and how nice it was in Scotland. Everybody was happy and had a great time, then I come back to my home town and it just sucks. It's just a huge rat race, nobody cares about anyone else’s feelings. The thing I miss the most though is the nature I was surrounded by, I felt so at peace I could of stayed there for a lifetime.

When I get sad in meditation it's usually because I am thinking about how bad this place is. What have we done as humans to this place we call home, not to mention what we have done to ourselves and animals. So it does make me sad sometimes thinking “Why does it have to be like this”

We need to evolve before we destroy heaven on earth.

Question...

Has anyone felt a shift in there awareness over the last few days?

if you have you will know what I mean if not, I need to lay off the coffee

reply to post by psycho81


It sounds like you have found places that are more in tune with the head, and places that are more in tune with the heart. A balance is good.

It will keep you down to Earth without floating off into space.

Hi believe me we both very nearly floated off into space didnt we psycho. In fact I think he did and I just managed to pull him back. Its so easy to let your head and spirit float off into space but we must always remain grounded in this..always or we are lost.

Thanks menguard for those words on this sadness feeling I sometimes get. That makes perfect sense to me. It used to drive me to tears but now its becoming more nostalgic sadness if you get me.

Thanks for posting always welcome.

I count myself very lucky in my search for awareness because on my journey I have met some wonderful people. I also go to see a Healer and medium, she is a great person and somebody you can trust. She is not in it for the money. She needs money to survive and that’s it, so nice to speak to somebody like this and not spend a fortune thinking “Is she for real”

I get healing done from her when I can although not been for a while so need to pay her a visit this weekend. Basically I sit on a chair and she stands behind me and works through all my chakras and cleanses them. I was a little skeptical at first but once I got the healing done I could feel a shft within my awareness. Before healing I was looking for answers before I really knew the question, I have now slowed down a lot and look past the complex teachings and follow my own instinct more.

I think since looking past the complex teachings I understand myself more. When I was looking too deep in these complex teaching I found these books/website/forums were telling me how I should feel. I was not searching for how I really do feel; I do not doubt other people expediencies or what they are feeling. All I am saying is we don’t all go through the same process in becoming aware.

So this is why I cannot stress enough don’t just mimic what you should be feeling, search inside and look for what you are feeling. Why do you feel happy or why do you feel sad. Once you get past all the noise in life things become a lot easier.

The ego will try and make this complicated so for me learning about my ego was one thing that was worth the time.

Miss Green,
I think you are focused on the emotional aspects of how this made you feel...What you need to do is learn to 'ground' and clear your Charkas of all the negative energy...We all have blocked Chakras and you need to clear them before you can learn to fully open them. For me it came in stages. My 3rd Chakra was blocked and I learned to let go of stuff.
If your heart Chakra is blocked then you will have difficulty openning it before moving onto your next Chakra...
Your energy will flow once you have achieved this...
When I teach people to ground and to clear their Chakras they sometimes experience what I call an 'emotional enima'....I have seen tears and big deep sighs of relief ! Once you have called back all your energy and are grounded, you have to learn to stay in the center of your head and be an observer.
I will look and see if there is a good link on how to 'ground'...
If not, I will type up something for you...
IF at all possible, it would benefit you to go to an energy worker or Reiki Master and have your Chakras and Energy cleared....
We collect stuff alllllll day and allllll night in our energy field.
You may also want to look into using sounds to help clear your Chakras...
Dr. Stephen Halpern has some great CD's out that can help...
I highly recommend you listen to Chakra Suite and just meditate...
Your pain and anxiety is what is keeping you from learning of your full Chakra potential....
I hope this helps....

Smiles & Light....

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around. I've been trying to explain how I percieve my whole damn reality to this other forum .. It takes a long time..

Nothin spectacular lately..

I've been at home with my family, I don't get much done in that regard. I need the comfort zone of my home.
