Opening the Chakras

Chakra meditations that use mudras and sounds to open chakras.
These chakra meditations use mudras, which are special hand positions, to open chakras. The mudras have the power to send more energy to particular chakras. To enhance the effect, sounds are chanted.
These sounds are from Sanskrit letters. When chanted, they cause a resonation in your body that you can feel at the chakra the sounds are meant. For pronunciation, keep in mind that the “A” is pronounced as in “ah,” and the “M” is pronounced as “mng.” Do a meditation for 7 – 10 breaths. Chant the sound several times each breath (for example three times). Open the Root Chakra
Let the tips of your thumb and index finger touch. Concentrate on the Root chakra at the spot in between the genitals and the anus. Chant the sound LAM. Open the Sacral Chakra Put your hands in your lap, palms up, on top of each other. Have left hand underneath, its palm touching the back of the fingers of the right hand. The tips of the thumbs touch gently. Concentrate on the Sacral Chakra at the sacral bone (on the lower back). Chant the sound VAM. Open the Navel Chakra Put your hands before your stomach, slightly below your solar plexus. Let the fingers join at the tops, all pointing away from you. Cross the thumbs. It is important to straighten the fingers. Concentrate on the Navel chakra located on the spine, a bit above the level of the navel. Chant the sound RAM.
