Excercises For Your Spirit.

           What is chakra?

   A quick ,simple definition of chakra is this:

   There are 7 major psychic energy centers within the body.The upper 4 pertain to the developementof spiritual/psychic awareness. The lower 3 more directly concern the physical body and materialistic drives and goals of the earth plane. These centers are commonly referred to by the Sanscrit name which is "chakras."

   Each chakra rules an aspect of either the mind, body or the soul.They also exert an influence over the aspects of intuition ,cosmic awareness and spirituality.

   As cosmic energy filters into the aura , it passes through the etheric or astral body( as it is called) , and finally into the chakras giving life and vitality to the physical body. As these centers become more fully vitalized, their colour becomes more vivid and their respective attributes of psychic ability are heightened.

        Basic Grounding procedure.

   Do this every morning, night and before you attempt any kind of mental excercises!!

   Begin by sitting in a straight back chair, palms up on thighs and feet flat on floor. Take 2 or 3 deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.Breathe through the diaphragm for maximum results.Visualize a shiny ,silvery, white light flowing freely into the top of your head. Continue imagining that the light is flowing and filling every pore and organ of your body,working it's way down through your feet and into the center of the earth.DON" RUSH THIS PROCESS!!! Take as long as you need to feel and see this taking place.Don't worry if you are notable to visualize everything at first.Just believe that it is happening.The thought will be sufficient to create the energy necessary to activate the process.

       Basic Aura Cleansing Procedure.

  After you are grounded, stay in the chair and visualize the light being pulled in ; see it swirling and cleansing in a clockwise motionand moving further down through each chakra as you exhale.Repeat until light has completely filled your being. Now, as the light begins to filter down into the earth, see it being blessed and purified by a violet flame so that no one else receives the negativity you are releasing.Violet is considered to be the colour of transmutation, ans as such I use this to do all my cleansing.

Keep in mind that there are any number of ways to actually do these exercises.For instance, I use a tree to ground and heal. After learning the basics of what to do and visualize, then find a way that works the best for you!
