Thread: Practical methods of Chakra Healing

hi juroara,
Yes I had a very powerfull chakra healing experience once, guided by a friend's father.
He straightened my spine and urged me to chant repeatedly for quite a long time.

I felt my chakra blockades tighten, become more evident. Like knives in my chest, like barbed wire within my chest tightening around my heart. It got more and more intense as I chanted longer and longer. Then suddenly a large amount of blocked energy came loose and was released, instantly shooting up through my head and out of me. As it flowed through my head I became totally sedated and emotionally/ mentally confused.

The sedation was as intense as smoking 3 really fat joints of strong cannabis within 1 minute. My thoughts were scrambled and slowed down. And I was overcome by strong emotions. Mostly grief.

When this cleared it was like the world was taken off of my shoulders.



And yes Corello it seems like you did it right.

Ska! thank you so much for this. i do chakra meditation almost everyday, and its one of the greatest things ive ever done with my life.

i didnt realize there were chants for each chakra. im definitely going to start doing this. Thank you!

You're welcome. Just passing on ancient knowledge as this topic is intended.
Care to explain your personal way of Chakra healing and meditation?

certainly.

i usually sit on my bed cross legged with my hands together resting in my lap. i keep my back straight, close my eyes and breath in through my nose for about 4 seconds, and then out my mouth for about for seconds. i breath into my lower abdomen. i then just clear all the thoughts from my mind and after awhile ill start with the base chakra.

I imagine a red lotus blossoming in my lower pelvic area, then i imagine it transforming into a huge ball of red energy. i focus on the red energy until i feel i have balanced that chakra enough, then i move to the next chakra doing the same exact visualization except with the new color of that chakra and the new location. the whole meditation i breath in though my nose and out through my mouth.

for some reason every time i reach the 6th chakra, the third eye chakra, there's this insane chill that starts in the center of my head then moves down my back and then through out my entire body, it feels INCREDIBLE. sometimes it will pulse and ill just keep having that feeling over and over for a couple seconds and then its over. its truly quite amazing, have you ever experienced anything like that??

once ive balanced every chakra, i focus on every chakra at once and make them very bright, then i visualize my entire body encircled inside a ball of energy shortly after that i usually end my meditation. all in all it takes about an hour, and at the end i feel AMAZING! just on top of the world and fully rejuvenated.

been doing this for about a year now and its changed my life.

I'm going to post my honest reaction with this type of stuff. I am very "in the dark" with this type of stuff. Is it a type of magic? I was taught through childhood this type of activity is demonic. I have no idea what it really is, but to be honest it spooks me and I am not sure what it's purpose is? Although my original views on life and creation is different than it once was (christianity) I still get an eerie feeling about this type of exercise.

I know I could research it, but could someone just explain briefly what it is and it's purpose? Thanks.

Hey Jorge,

Until very recently I was just like you.... my ideas about spirituality came from movies showing eastern people meditating... movies probably made by people who know nothing about meditation etc.

But just recently, thanks to this site actually, I've started to look into it. In fact I've just now been investigating a very helpful site, posted up near the top of this thread by our friend SuperUltimateSupremeMega (or whatever)... probably the one positive post he made on the site. Check this out:

When you place your attention somewhere in your body, you can feel that it's not just your perception that is focused there. Something else is happening. Energy is displaced to that area. It is possible to measure this: the temperature of the spot you focus your attention on will rise. The Chinese say that "Chi follows Yi," where "Yi" is the mind or intention/attention.

It comes from this site: http://www.eclecticenergies.com/energy/whatis.php

The whole site is really excellent. Very eye-opening, and I think a great place to start looking into spiritual ideas. Looks like this stuff really is pretty practical and real, not just crazy talk.

Jorge, it is not uncommon for people to fear the unknown. Thus they label it demonic, however this is very misplaced and xenophobic.

Chakra healing is actually a way to heal yourself from negative energy(which is what you might call Satan). It does so by using positive energy(which you might call God).
It seeks to get rid of evil by cultivating and growing positive energy. All meant to be a better channel for God, unhindered and undistracted by Satan's work.

It's purpose is the same purpose Christians, Jews and Muslims have to pray. It's only a different path, but to the same goal.

But let's not turn this into a discussion about beliefs; Let's share Chakra healing methods as this topic was intended.

I'm also coming from a christian background, this kind of chakra and energy healing was very strange and foreign to me. But over the years I've learned a lot, and there is really nothing to be afraid of, even for a christian

According to tradition:
The chakras are centers of energy within your own body. They are a natural part of your own body, as natural as your hands and feet and all your organs. The chakras are within the energy body. The energy body is a part of the physical body (think of all the energy your brain produces, you have an energetic part to your body!)

This energy body is essential to life, is an essential part of every natual process within your body, and it it comes 'first'. If anything comprises your energy body, then your physical body has been comprised. It's believed that phsyical diseases are FIRST manfiested as a disease in the energy body.

The chakra/energy system function a lot like the nervous system. There is a delicate web connecting all of your chakra points spanning your entire body. The major chakras are intimately connected to all of your major organs.

Your chakra body isn't just essential to the health of your physical body. They are also a part of your emotional 'body' as well. Not only does each chakra relate to one or many organs, each chakra also relates to a type of emotion or being.

Sounds confusing doesn't it? But you've experienced it before! Imagine being nervous and anxious! Where did you feel this anxiety? In your gut right? Butterflies in the stomach? That's the solar plexus chakra. Or ever been so angry, your throat tightens up? There's a chakra there too. And it literally means you're angry because you aren't voicing your opinion!

The point I am trying to get at is, according to this tradition, chakras are a natural part of your body. It's not like magick, or summoning some sort of power outside of your self. It's just the opposite, this would be your God-given power.

Just like we can comprimise our body, we can comprismise our chakras. Sometimes our chakras need healing. The benefit is, as we heal our chakras and allow the energy to flow in them freely, we heal ourselves. And the energy that flows through the chakras? That is pure spirtiual energy that is.

And if you use this pure spiritual energy to do "bad" things, well you create a block in your chakras that limits how much energy you can recieve. So by design, chakras are "good" and never "bad"

But what do I know? I'm still a chakra noob





oh yeah and, thanks guys for posting your experiences! I've been wanting to do chanting with chakra work. But I can't find any privacy these days :/

Juroara, speaking the syllables out loud is beneficial but not essential. You can 'speak' them with your mind's voice and it will still be effective. It helps me to still engage the muscles in order to really imagine the sound properly, but even that isn't necessary when you have done it enough to know what the feeling of "om" or "ommmnngg" is.

I also use the hindu gayatri mantra in meditation. I talked to a bhutanese guy I used to work with about it, and he told me that it is not traditional for an individual to speak mantras out loud.


I forgot to comment on this earlier; just as Darkmatters said, you may not open your chakras on the first try, and the more regularly you can do it the easier it will be. This is something that I have a lot of trouble with. Fortunately, my life will soon be changing in a drastic enough way that if I am diligent, I will be able to focus on it much more.
