Energize Your Chakras with Reiki Meditation

Did you know that you can meditate on the chakras with a Reiki meditation? The universal life force of Reiki provides deep relaxation, which is very helpful for the body organs. The chakras are “wheels” of energy which control the body organs. Upon energizing these energy centers, we not only heal ourselves but also strengthen these centers.

Visualizing the Reiki energy flowing through every cell in your body is a highly effective starting point. Feel it flowing out around you in your chair. As you continue to breathe, feel it flowing into the room and then the residence you are in, filling it with Reiki energy. Feel it intensify as the Reiki energy flows outside onto the property and beyond into the neighborhood. See it filling the region in which you reside and then beyond into the country, then whole globe and finally out into the cosmos.

Other than this, there are a few things you can do to prepare before getting started. Divine Lotus Healing suggests:

• Drawing the power symbol (if you are attuned to it) over your body before beginning
• Drawing the mental/emotional symbol (if you are attuned to it) over your body before beginning
• Drawing the master symbol (if you are attuned to it) over your body before beginning
• Drawing the distance healing symbol (if you are attuned to it) over your body before beginning
• Listening to soft, inspiring music
• Chanting a mantra
• Writing a goal and ask for clarification to come to you through the sitting session
• Asking for guidance to come to you about an issue you are currently experiencing

This meditation is taken from Reiki—the Healing Touch. According to their site, it was brought to us from Reiki master Renu Kakkar, which was passed to her by her Reiki teacher, who got it from his previous Reiki teacher, and so on. Therefore, it’s unknown how old this meditation actually is.

Phase 1: Preparation

1. Set the stage with OM chants or light music.

3. Close your eyes and say OM three times.

Phase 2: Relaxation

1. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes slightly, just listen to the sounds. Do not try to identify them. Tell yourself that your senses are getting relaxed.

Phase 3: Energize

1. Take a deep breath; inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose.
2. Visualize a beautiful golden glowing ball floating above the top of your head. See it float down and blend with the violet chakra of the head. See the golden violet rays spreading to the various systems, energizing the nervous system and the right eyes.
3. Say to yourself silently, “I am divinely protected, guided and at peace.”
4. Now imagine the golden ball gently separate from the violet chakra and float down to merge with the brow chakra. Watch it blend with the beautiful indigo wheel of the brow chakra. Visualize the golden indigo rays energizing the pituitary, hypothalamus, nose, the left eye and ears and repeat to yourself mentally, “I am open to new ideas, people and situations and follow my gut feelings.”
5. See the golden ball separate from the brow chakra and slowly floating and descending into the glowing blue wheel of the throat chakra.

I love, trust and respect my creative gifts.”

Imagine the golden ball blending with the orange wheel and the golden orange rays pass into the entire reproductive system. Say to yourself, “What I do is enough, what I have is enough.”
9. Now see the golden ball separate and floating down to the base chakra, the seat of Kundalini energy. See it blending with to the red colored wheel. The golden red rays are spreading into the entire excretory system and energizing the kidneys bladder, spine and lower limbs. Feel the warmth. Repeat, “I am safe and secure all the time. I love my feet, they show me the way. I love my legs they support me.”
10. Continue breathing in through the nose, out through the nose. Feel totally at peace. Feel the centers all flowing with abundance of love. All disruptive emotions have flown away. You are calm, fully relaxed and grounded.
11. Now imagine that all light is surrounding you. Feel your aura expanding and being protected with white light. No negative energy can harm you. You are fully protected.
