Chakra Meditation
A guided meditation on breath and chakra awareness.
Settle comfortably and withdraw awareness inward. Relax the entire body while keeping the spine straight and upright. Observe the natural breath without altering its rhythm. Coordinate the breath with the body's subtle expansion and contraction. Bring awareness to the Maṇipūra Cakra near the navel, feeling its movement with each inhalation and exhalation. Observe the breath flowing between the navel and the heart center, the Anāhata Cakra. Then, direct awareness to the breath moving from the navel to the throat, the Viśuddhi Cakra, for purification. Finally, release all focus and rest in simple awareness. Conclude by slowly awakening the body, rising with great care to avoid dizziness.
"Feel the prāṇa with the breath going in and out through the body."
"It balances the energy in the body. It awakens those centers and energies."
