The word “chakra”, or “wheel”, comes from Sanskrit. Chakras are known by several different names, including “light centers”, “energy centers” and “lotus flowers”. Chakras are centers of the body that receive and transmit energy. This energy is not third dimensional; therefore, even though some people can see them (and they resemble spinning wheels of light), they cannot be tracked through conventional third dimensional instrumentation. The human body contains 7 major and 21 minor energy centers. This lecture, since it will cover the basics of the chakra system, will focus on the 7 major energy centers.

Balancing and Repairing Chakras
There are times when the chakras in our bodies may become imbalanced, damaged, blocked or “muddied” with residual negative energy which can affect our physical and emotional health. This occurs as the result of negativity, poor eating habits, lack of exercise or holding back emotion. It is important for health, growth and vitality that we keep our chakras clear, strong and balanced. To clear blockage from the chakras, you may use the gemstones associated with each chakra (technique in another lecture) or simply visualize the area(s) of blockage flooded with white light.
CHAKRA BALANCING MEDITATION – FOR ALL INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED STUDENTS
Calm your mind and take several deep breaths to center yourself. Visualize a ball of lucid clear white light about six inches above your head and say:
I recognize my connection to Universal Mind
See the ball becoming stronger and brighter with each breath (take about three breaths for each chakra) then
see a ray of white light beam down to the top of the head and a sphere of violet light appear at the crown
of the head. Say:
I act only under the direction of (pick a god form)
Light connect to the Third Eye (Brow) which is indigo:
I hold my consciousness in the light of Eternal Truth
Light connect to the Throat which is sky blue:
I express the intent to create only perfection
Light connect to the Heart which is grass green:
I am a vehicle of Unconditional Love
Light connect to the Solar Plexus which is yellow (sun color):
In the name of (pick a god form), I clear and cleanse myself of all disharmonic and dross energies, transmuting those energies to their perfect and beneficial forms and releasing them to their proper dimension
Light connect to the Sacral which is orange:
I graciously accept unlimited prana from the Source Of All
Light connect to the Root which is deep red:
I ask that these energies be used according to the will of (god form). So Be It.
CHAKRA CLEANSING MEDITATION – FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS
PREREQUISITE: Disharmonic entities lecture, setting permanent shields
This is a more advanced technique using clear quartz, and should not be done unless the user has a knowledge of clearing and programming quartz crystals. Quartz by itself will simply amplify whatever energy it is near.
1. Lay down somewhere comfortable – a bed, couch or floor. Take a deep breath and hold it. Tighten the muscles of your feet and hold this position for 10 seconds, less if it becomes uncomfortable. Let your breath out as you relax the muscles. Wiggle your feet around to remove any leftover tension or stiffness. Then repeat the process with your leg muscles, your pelvic muscles, your stomach muscles, your arm muscles, shoulder muscles, neck muscles and finally the facial and head muscles. At the end, your entire body should feel relaxed, unified and at peace.
. 2. Stand up. Stomp one foot on the ground a few times, then proceed with the other foot. This will stimulate and open the lower minor chakras in your feet and knees, as well as make contact with the earth energy beneath us.
3. While standing, raise your hands above your head and take a deep breath. Tighten your stomach muscles as you stretch upwards. Hold this position for 10 seconds, or less if it becomes uncomfortable.
4. Use crystals to align the chakras. You may need help placing the crystals. Lay down somewhere comfortable. Place one quartz crystal on the top of each thigh pointing upward. Place two crystals in the center of the chest area (below the heart chakra) pointing upward. Place two crystals on the third eye chakra (center of forehead just above the eyebrows) pointing downward. Finally, hold a crystal in each palm pointing upward. Lie relaxed for 15 minutes while taking deep breaths, and the chakras will realign and balance.
May the Force be with you, and may you rest in the love and care of the Divine.
