Thread: Practical methods of Chakra Healing

I'm glad I found this. I wanted to look into meditation. I want to discover my inner self more, and I would have liked to use LDing for it, but I don't have lucid dreams often enough to really intend to. So, I would like to try meditation.

I took that test someone mentioned in like the second post. Apparently my root chakra is under-active by -6%, and my crown by -25% xD

according to that survey on the second post, i have an over-active Third eye. i think thats pretty cool

Just ran across these 3 amazing videos that have really helped me visualize and further understand the chakras. Highly recommended:







Also, this just in... the music in those videos caught my interest... I love the sound of the digeridoo to begin with, and it sounds like chanting the various tones for chakra healing. I looked into what's called Reiki music, but couldn't find anything that sounded as good as the music in the videos, so I searched for digeridoo music and ran across this: Tibetan Singing Bowl and Digeridoo. Actually I found it cheaper on iTunes, but not everybody has iTunes, so this is to Amazon. You can preview it on either. I have it downloading now.

Holy Crap!!!

I just finished a meditation/chakra healing session with this music on, and it's overwhelmingly powerful!!! My entire being is vibrating strongly from it, physically and spiritually. Plus I feel like I just did a couple hits of premium toke. Really great stuff!! I had iTunes visualizer on the whole time and at first I watched it... felt like Bowman in 2001... but after a while I closed my eyes and let the flickering colors play over my closed eyelids and filter through to my awareness. Powerful.

In case of shame blocking the solar plexus, realise the Right to act. Don't be a perfectionist and don't be affraid to fail. Don't let the fear of failure make you hesitant and incertain about your actions. Find the audacity to act powerfully and effectively, unaffraid of potential failure.

In case of Grief blocking the heart chakra, Realise the Right to love( and beloved)
Let go of the feeling of loss of love, by realising love will come back to you many times in many different forms. Find comfort in that realisation. There are many more fish in the sea right?

In case of lies blocking the Throat Chakra, realise the right to Truth.
Because of fear, guilt, shame and grief( that which can block the lower chakras) we are sometimes not honoust with ourselves. Uplift this by being intuitively honoust with yourself. Intuition knows the truth. Listen to it.

In case of Illusion blocking the Third Eye, Realise the right to see(things for what they are) You have the right to see the true nature of existance. Let go of seeking pleasure and instead prefer to seek truth. Use your undivided focussed attention. Keep fantasy, thoughts and opinions out of the way to percieve reality clearly, openly and truthfully to uplift the barrier of illusion.

In case of Earthly attatchment blocking the Crown Chakra, realise the right to understand/transcend. Realise that allthough earthly pleasures are precious, they come to an end and will have to make way for an equally precious non-material continuation of your existance. Let go of earthly pleasures by relativation, realising that what we will get in return holds equal value and potential.

This is some Really good stuff.. thanks a lot for posting this!, it helps a bunch...

I have read that its always good to talk to yourself with affirmations, and not negativities... It has something to do with the law of attraction IMO... when you think about something... you're giving it power... even if its something you Don't want... Your subconscious doesn't recognize good from bad... So its always good to throw away any thought that won't bring good to you... don't give it power by thinking about it, not even in the slightest way... Allow only the good thoughts to go thru (whatever you consider good for yourself)...

I just took three different chakra tests online with different questions. Apparently my brow/third eye chakra is diseased! I had no idea! I knew I had a solar plexus problem, but now a brow chakra problem? Boooo

Oh well, I guess diagnosis is the first step to healing?

I think the best self diagnosis is to simply find out what is blocking you. Grief? Shame? Guilt? Fear? etc etc... By being honoust with yourself, by analysing yourself objectively from your intuition you can find out the Root of these unresolved issues that result in Fear, Guilt, Shame and all these blocks.

The duality/blockade in every Chakra can be uplifted by the use of Relativation.
"zooming out" from your small, individual perspective and view your Fear, Grief, Shame..etc from a higher perspective. From where you can see the bigger picture.

From this higher, objective perspective you can see that the negative emotions of Fear, Shame, Guilt, Illusions..etc that appeared very huge and invincable to you before, now look only small and trivial. They no longer seem to weigh so heavy or bear so much importance. From this higher perspective they are just common human emotions.
And then these negative emotions that have been blocking you no longer seem so strong and threatening. From this high perspective they seem dwarfed by the intense suffering as well as intense pleasure/bliss going on in other parts of your being as well as in the bigger picture; the existance around you.

If from that higher, intuitive perspective you do so much as only shine the light of your attention uppon these emotional/spiritual blockades they will melt like snow in the sun, dissolve and be cleared/purged from your being.

Cause all this darkness/blockade really is is an under aware part of your being. Become aware of this part of your being and the darkness/unawareness/blockade present there will vanish.Like shining light into a dark room will make "quick work" of the darkness.

Has anybody tried Kundalini Yoga? as taught by Yogi Bhajan? I find that true to its claim, it is the most powerful tool for chkr clearing and development. I mean, you can really feel the effects very tangibly! I rave about it. It works better than any visualization alone does. It also works on the glands and brain chemistry and spinal fluid. There are instruction videos. Video.google kundalini yoga.
I am excited to go to a kundalini yoga festival in the spring! A little cult-like, sure, but it will be good for me to meet some like-minded people. I am all alone here.

Become aware of all parts of your being - good sound advice



So I just looked up kundalini yoga. And I found this gem of a video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnbzxMsjbIk

It's fifty minutes long, might want to move away your computer chair, point that screen down so you can follow along! I don't know if I was just out of breath or what, but I started to giggle uncontrollably!! I'll be doing this again tomorrow!

And I liked the videos darkmatters

Wow!! Kundalini yoga = badass!!! Great find J, and excellent suggestion Dannon!

Yeah, that is the video I started doing every morning. I found a class in town here once a week and I went to that and the first time I was SOOO sore for 5 days afterward, but I felt great! Sharp as a laser! It is great! There is a Kundalini Yoga festival here in May I am looking forward to. Maybe meet some cool people. Or some spaced out followers. But I will learn a lot.

I watched the whole vid, but I don't have enough room to push the chair back and do any floor work, so I did what I can right in my cHAIR LOL! Tried to make sure I didn't overdo it, cause I know I couldn't do the whole workout my first time.

Yeah, I was sore the next day anyway - especially my lower back, but dayum!! Talk about energy!! I haven't felt so energized in years, literally.

Has anyone here done chakra or energy work WITHIN a dream? The other day I was having trouble flying in my dream. I was so grounded and weighted down. But last night I was zipping around. I turned into a wasp, a bird and a harpie. I'm wondering if doing some yoga healing helped me to fly in my dream!

I just thought it would be helpful if the next time I'm grounded in a dream, I can just do some chakra healing and be flying fancy free. Question is, which chakra would that be?

Do all the chakras! Start doing kegels in the dream, raise the energy, you may even see a snake uncoinling and feel waves of undulating energy. The third chakra is good for psychic and astral travel, but I recommend for you the heart chakra. Of course the throat chakra is beautiful also, there you can find the halls of the akashic records. The third eye chakra you can connect with anybody in the Universe in any realm and the crown chakra goes to beyond dreaming. Do all the chakras, visualize them as a band of colored lights, you know: red, orange, yellow, green, lapis blue, indigo and violet, become a rainbow. Become a rainbow. Try vibrating also with differnt frequencies, vibrations really free up energy blockages. Even when doing yoga and holding a difficult pose I start vibrating and I know that energy blocks are being released.

I've been doing mindfulness meditation and chakra healing for a couple weeks now, and just got ahold of some binaural beats and theta wave music a few days ago. After meditating several times using the binaurals/ theta wave music, not surprisingly I found it brings me down to a completely deeper place than I was getting without it... completely, DEEPLY relaxed and sometimes my eyes start flickering like I'm going into REM.

But that's not what I wanted to post about exactly. Last night I decided I need to go back to regular mindfulness meditation without any music or sound... the traditional way in silence. Well, I found now that I've "been there" thanks to the binaurals, I'm able to rapidly bring myself to that same deep almost trance state WITHOUT it. It's really super-charged my progress... I feel like without the technological boost it would take maybe years to get to that level.

Last night... I did the mindfulness thing for only maybe 10 minutes and began to feel my crown chakra lighting up like a christmas tree! The top of my head started tingling hard... the only time I've ever felt anything similar is when I did acid.. I mean this was really getting intense!! I went with it... decided to assist it through visualization, picturing the thousand-petaled lotus blossoming endlessly at my crown chakra and then picturing an energy ball expanding from it outward into the vastness of the universe... imagine my "self" drifting up through the top of my head (now glowing brightly like a wide-angle spotlight into space) out between the stars.

Then I worked my way down. I normally start from the bottom, but since the crown chakra had started without me I just went with it. My chakras all opened like crazy... like I've never felt before! I became a rainbow bridge between earth and the heavens and felt powerful energy flowing between the two, through me.

I then tried something I red about somewhere recently... I imagined my inward breaths coming in through the crown chakra and the outward breaths going out through the third eye. The energy in both chakras kept getting more powerful... I've never felt anything remotely like this!

There came a natural cutoff point... I felt the energy level top off and start going down again, just before it reached a level that seemed like it might be getting to be too much. So I rapidly went through and closed each chakra... they responded better than they ever have (sometimes I have trouble visualizing them or feeling them). I could literally FEEL the energy level dropping off quickly at each point as I closed them, and when I finally closed the Crown, it was like I felt something click in my head and I felt absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

My energy level for the rest of the day (in fact still today, 24 hours later) was much higher than it usually is... I tend to be pretty low-energy, but now I'm alert and don't feel at all tired. My mind seem clearer... my memory sharper than it's been for some time.

This is just.... I can't even get across how awesome it is!! Sorry... I'm just excited and I'm babbling now. I can hardly wait to do it again... in fact I think I'll light up a stick of incense and go back in right now!!

I can already tell you my biggest block in chakras would be earthly attatchment. This is because I havnt experienced anything yet to suggest to me that I will have an immaterial existance. There have been nights where I get very little sleep because of my mind wrestling with the idea of my conciousness just ceasing to exist. Never to experience anything again. It grieves me deeply but I cant seem to help thinking about it.

On the flip side, I have always had an interest in chakras, I have the colors memorized, Ive tried energy work before (with the best results being tingling of my hands and feet) but despite this...those thoughts never leave me.

I really think this stuff is powerful... I have to thank you Darkmatters for the videos! I've only had the chance to see the first one but it helped me understand the chakras a lot more, and was much more engaging than reading walls of text upon the subject.

The first night I tried this it felt amazing. I imagined each chakra as a wispy flower, infused with whatever color the chakra was. I imagined each one blossoming, reaching out, and taking over my body, flowing out into the room. I could feel each chakra. Heat would gather there. I felt quite good after. But, unfortunately, I did have some trouble sleeping.

Ever since I have started doing this I've felt a lot more at peace with myself and my environment. I feel more motivated to do what I want and need to get done and to not waste time. I've also had a few more LDs, and I wonder if this is helping at all. I haven't had the chance to do anything deep unfortunately, but I will maybe use binaural beats or something when I get the chance.

I think my third eye might be blocked. I have trouble imagining it opening, when I do I feel as if I'm forcing it open. When I focus on it it almost hurts, as if my eyes are rolling around and pushing towards it. It also seems to focus farther, if that makes any sense. It feels like looking at something in the foreground up close and then switching the focus to the background.

That's a pretty awesome experience! What kind of binaural beats were you using? I've only listened to a few free ones. They didn't have any effect on me, that or I just need new headphones

I don''t think that would be a block in the way you're suggesting. There's no need to believe in an immortal soul or anything for chakra work to do you some good. It's not magic, and it doesn't rely on the power of blind faith to work... although just like lucid dreaming, your attitude and state of mind do affect it. I Notice if I'm tired I can hardly focus, and I can't hold focus on the chakras and I don't really get much from it on those days. Like anything that requires focus and attention, it will work better some days than others.

At one time if someone would have talked to me about chakra healing I would have felt the same way... like it's something that you have to "believe in". But it's not like that... it's more like an exercise, only mental rather than physical. Or mental AND physical actually.

Unless I misunderstand what you're saying.

I'd say just give it a try and see what happens. I wasn't really expecting anything to happen when I first started trying it, but I gave it a go and was surprised to actually feel something happening inside my body in response to where I focused my attention. And after I had done it for a while (a few days or a week) I started feeling it stronger... I guess like exercise you get better at it from practice.

Excellent! You might have brought your energy up too much right before bed. I'd try it earlier.

Me too.

Ok, now I'm jealous! I think I need to read ETWOLD again... that's when I was having the most LDs.

You might want to take the chakra test to find out which ones are blocked and which might be overactive. Look at the 1st page of this thread... I think it's the second or third post, by SuperUltraMegaSupreme.

I know what you mean about feeling your eyes trying to focus on the third eye In fact that's something I seem to do for each chakra... when I:m trying to imagine the lotus blooming in a particular part of my body my eyes move toward that area, even though they're closed. It's like I need to do that to focus my attention firmly on that area. I wonder if that's considered bad form?

Personally my head chakras are overactive... the third eye and crown are no problem at all.

I found some through filesharing (Shhhh! )

I use the Theta ones... that gets you into the same state as hypnosis, dreaming or deep meditation, a very healing state. The best one I found is called Superlearning: subliminals, theta waves & piano by Kelly Howell with Robert Schwimmer. I think it's also necessary to assist it... you know the drill, shut off the internal dialogue, go into your happy place. Using incense helps me in a way I didn't anticipate. It actually reminds me of my stoner days and makes it easy to feel like I:m going into an altered state of consciousness. I actually feel like I'm getting high, and having the iTunes visualizer also helps with that.

I'll watch it for a while and just kind of zone out on all the pretty colors moving around, and then I'll close my eyes and let the flickering light filter through my eyelids. And after a few minutes, when I've started to zone pretty good, I:ll start doing the chakras, which gives my mind something to focus on so the internal dialogue doesn't even try to start up again.

I also found some freeware called Sbagen, which I think works on all platforms.

And while I:m typing all this up, might as well add... I've also been listening to a lot of chanting from around the world... gregorian, tibetan throat singing (awesome stuff!) and various others, as well as digeridoo and tibetan singing bowl music. All of the ones I just mentioned have a certain frequency of vibrato that takes you into the zone... probably theta wave level. Let me see if I can find the link for this rather incredible PDF file I read the other day dealing with binaurals and other forms of entrainment.

Here it is: http://www.stanford.edu/group/brainw...RitualTech.pdf

Pretty long paper, written by somebody from Stanford university who's also a drummer and began to discover that at times his drumming could produce a trance state, which led to his interest in binaurals and visual entrainment, called Photic entrainment, which does the same thing as the binaurals but with lights flashing in your eyes rather than sound. I found the whole paper fascinating, though the middle section listing all the scientific stuff is pretty dry and can be skipped over.

Wow look at me... when did I become the spokesperson for this thread?!!

yea, you are misunderstanding me a bit. what I mean is looking at the other post, the crown chakra being open and "unblocked" makes you not feel bound to the earth. However, I am very bound to earth by this dread of there not being an afterlife that Ive been wrestling with, so perhaps is it a result of this chakra being blocked.

That was a lot of encouraging info tho

Oh ok... that's actually the other thing I thought you might have meant.

That shouldn't be a problem then. Earthly attachment is the function of the root chakra (I almost wrote this in the other post, but it was long enough already) - possibly you just have an overactive root chakra. The root is your anchor to the earth, and the crown is your portal to the universe. You should actually feel both at the same time.. anchored deep in the earth and open to the vastness of the universe. You don't need to worry about an overactive chakra... just try to work on the underactive ones and they should all balance out.

hmm so an over active root chakra could cause such spells of fear of death huh? I really hope it works to meditate on my crown chakra because I really cant stand those spells of wrestling with the paradox of imagining my consciousness disappearing.

Oh well, when you put it that way... I guess fear of death isn't caused by an overactive root chakra. I was going off of "earthly attachment".

So basically you're saying you suffer anxiety, and that might block the process? Yeah, that could be a problem. But just the meditation itself should help to alleviate anxiety to some extent.
