PowerHouseCreatives Contest: Activating The Chakras
My entry to the PHC contest @zord189. For more info check Here
I awoke this morning, sweat pouring down my brow but I felt refreshed. The night before I had done a breathing exercise when I first got into bed and afterwards went into a deep sleep, not waking until 6:30 A.M.
Upon awakening I remembered I had dreamt all night of walking and talking with a handsome doctor. He was no one I recognized but I enjoyed his company. We walked leisurely for miles until it was coming on dusk. Our conversation was not about health issues but we talked of life in general. No wonder I was sweating when I awoke.
The dream of a pleasant walk and talk with a doctor revealed to me that I was on the right path for my health with the deep breathing and spiritual exercise I did before falling asleep.
I’ve been interested in activating the chakras of the body and the deep breathing added another level to the process of opening the spiritual centres.
The colors for the seven chakras of the body are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and violet.

A picture of the placement of the chakras. Starting with the red colored vortex on the bottom of the spine at the tailbone and going upwards in a wavy motion, mediating on each chakra, until you reach the seventh chakra at the crown of the head.

Last night as I visualized each chakra, I Inhaled and exhaled a few deep stomach breaths and then held my breath as I mediated for a half or so minute at each chakra. This added to the feeling of heightened awareness of the bodily functions with a tingling in my hands and feet.
Each Chakra, their color and meaning:
Root (at bottom of spine) - red - this is the foundation on how we build our life and basic trust.
Sacrum - orange - our sexuality
Solar Plexus - yellow-wisdom and personal power
Heart - green - love
Throat-blue - communication. How we speak and communicate clearly
Third Eye - purple-awareness and sixth sense
Crown - Violet - spirituality
These are the seven states of higher consciousness. Opening up the chakras can lead to better health and awareness of what is going on in our bodies.
Deep breathing and then holding the breath for awhile when visualizing each chakra will alert the body to anything wrong.
Concentrate on your body while holding your breathe and feel the blood pulsating through your veins. The releasing of tension can be felt as you are meander in a zigzag motion through the chakras.
The final action is to picture yourself bathed in a soft white light surrounded by the healing power of love.

Nice @redheadpei, but I thought you were supposed to begin AND end with the same sentence.
I don't have a 'dog in this hunt' I just looked over the rules.
Good Luck, you got my upvote.
Hi Jerry. Thanks for support. In the criteria it reads, “You can also end with the sentence.” I’m taking the “can also” to mean if you want too. Maybe I’ve misinterpreted it.
Maybe @zord189 would clarify.
Criteria :
Pick ONE sentence only to start off.
You can also END with the sentence.
Post must not be less than 350 words.
You may use photos/pictures/drawings for better illustration.
I didn't see the "Can Also", I thought it was an imperative. Not an optional.
I think you are correct. Sorry to have cause you any worry.
Happy Sunday and "Keep on Steemin'"
No problem Jerry. Happy Sunday to you! 😊
Hi @redheadpei, thank you for the little activating the healing light with the chakras exercise. I am always learning. Will try this tonight.
Hi Angie! Can you use this method with Reiki?
Some of the different methods of opening the chakras has been associated with practices in Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism.
This is my first time being exposed to this kinda spirituality. Gotta try this ♡
@tezmel, by activating the chakras it should help balance the energies of the body. I hope you give it a try.
Meditation centering on the chakras is very good for our health and our happiness.
A great write up on this, @redheadpei!
Thanks Free-reign. I always appreciate your support.
It is a good exercise to get in tune and heal our bodies.
Howdy redheadpei! That's very interesting and really wonderful that the breathing exercise enabled you to get a good night sleep!
Hiya Cowboy! Yes, i sleep like a baby after going through the exercise. 😊
Howdy redheadpei! Well that is wonderful so I guess this will be a nightly routine from now on!
Hi @redheadpei. Thanks so much for this lovely piece. I've never really taken the time to explore the Chakra. I've heard about it numerous times. Your explanation makes it easier to understand.
I'll take time to go through the steps you outlined above. Especially for relief of tension.
Have a great Monday, and take care.
Hi @justclickindiva. You are welcome and I hope doing the exercise helps.
Some extra info on the chakra that may need to be balanced to relief tension and give more personal power.
The solar plexus chakra is located a couple inches above the belly button at the pit of the stomach. This third chakra is associated with the digestion system and adrenal gland. If out of balance it can cause eating disorders, gut feelings of fear, anxiety and tension.
When you go through the exercise pay a little extra attention to that chakra when visualizing the color yellow swirling in the vortex surrounding it.
Have fun doing the exercise and feel the love from the universe. 💕 😊
Will do @redheadpei. Thanks for the extra information. I'm going to focus on the digestive system a bit more.
