Exploring Color Meditation And Why It Seems To Be So Powerful

By Robert Stevens


There is more and more scientific evidence to support what enthusiasts of yoga, meditating, and other forms of channeling mind body energy have long believed. These exercises are good for you, both mentally and physically. There even seems to be some evidence that meditating can reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Color meditation involves concentrating on the colors of Chakra to improve the mind body connection.

This form of meditating is based on the seven Chakras of the Hindu religion and the colors that relate to them. Chakras, as energy sources, are also found in Buddhism and Jainism. The seven Hindu Chakras run from the bottom of your spine to the top of your head. When you meditate correctly, focusing on one or more Chakras and the colors associated with them, your body, mind, and spirit come into balance.

Red is the root Chakra located at the base of your spine. It represents your life force, and when you focus on it you rid your body and mind of anger and frustration. Red stimulates your body and mind and increases circulation. Orange is the sacral Chakra and is located at your naval. It is associated with physical pleasure and creativity. Orange stimulates the nervous system.

Just below your breastbone you find the solar plexus Chakra. Yellow is associated with it, as is vitality and mental alertness. By focusing on yellow you will come out of your meditation with optimism and happiness. The heart Chakra, in the middle of your chest, is green. This is the healing Chakra. You will feel a sense of love and peace when you concentrate on green.

The throat Chakra is found where you would expect it and is associated with blue. This is the area that gives you confidence and encourages self-expression. The third eye Chakra, represented by indigo, is at the center of your forehead. Concentrating on indigo promotes peace of mind. At the top of your skull rests the violet crown Chakra. This is the place of universal consciousness.

When you first start this form of meditating, you probably should concentrate on one specific area. Experts suggest before you begin that you think about the things that of most concern to you. If you are having trouble in a relationship for example, you need to focus on red. People who have a specific physical issues need to meditate on the tone that represents that part of the body.

When you are ready to try all the colors, begin by visualizing a gold light over you. Draw it down and all the way through your body. Once you are completely relaxed, and the light is illuminating your whole being, you can begin to concentrate on the individual Chakras. Start at the root, which is red, and work your way up.

Meditating can be transforming, and it is free for anyone to try. You have to keep an open mind and remove the thoughts of the day. Once you begin to form the colors in your mind, you will be amazed by the energy they unleash.
