Chakras and Meditations
The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk. This refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetics activity emanating
from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. There are 7 major wheels stacked within this system,
a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
The caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around, within Esoteric Buddhism, the caduceus corresponds to the
axis of the world and the serpents refer to the force called Kundalini, which, in tantrist teaching, sleeps at the base of the
backbone this is a symbol of conscious power of pure energy. The wings symbolize the liberation of the consciousness.
Each intersection between the wraps and weave of the serpents are energy points found within the human body, they
correspond to the location of the 7 major chakras, the left channel / serpent is called Ida and the right channel / serpent is
Pingala. Ida represents the feminine, cold, she represents the moon; Pingala is masculine, hot, he represents the sun.
These seven major chakras relate to the 7 stages of consciousness. The chakras are not tangible or even physical, yet, they
do affect our glandular process, body shape, chronic physical ailments, thoughts and behavior. By using this product and
visualizing the location of the chakras while repeating a custom daily mantra, you will influence the make up of the chakras.
This will improve your health, calm your mind, and provide you a way to merge with the universal consciousness.
Meditation / Mantra
The word Mantra is Sanskrit composed of the root man meaning to think and tra meaning an instrument of thought that can free us from the
constraints of our minds Mantras help focus your mind on a single thought through the repetition of a sound. They eventually replace your conscious
everyday thoughts when chanting. The repetition of the mantra sounds provided below will pull your individual consciousness towards the universal
oneness / consciousness.
I back lit the semi-precious stones to help with the visualization of the specific location and the specific colour of the chakras. Tibetan Mysticism states
that chakras can be represented in the physical form by gem stones. They are described as meeting points between the spiritual and physical energy. I
would also like to think that gem stones are the most ancient way of studying sacred geometry. By meditating on the visual image of each chakra and at
the same time repeating the mantra, you will activate the physical, psychological, and spiritual energies of that chakra.
There are four ways to use the mantra in this meditation:
Repeat the sound out loud. 1.
Whisper the mantra. 2.
Mentally repeat the mantra. 3.
Simply listen to the sound and vibration of the mantra 4.
For the purpose of this necklace I will guide you through repeating the mantra out loud.
To begin the mantra.
Please follow the following steps before you begin the meditation. Mantra.
Sit down in a comfortable chair with proper back support, feet touching the ground and hands on your thighs. Find the mantra you will recite
related to the colour semi-precious stones lit up for the day, have the computer page open so that it will be easy to follow later on, and plug the
necklace into the USB docking station.
1.
Start by concentrating on your breathing, inhale through your nose for a count of four and exhale through your mouth for a count of 4. Once you
have settled in a comfortable pattern and are comfortable and relaxed move onto step 3.
2.
Focus on the necklace, which should be in the USB docking station, and observe which chakras are lit. Try to focus and relate the glowing
stones of light to the location of the chakras within your own body. If you have trouble visualizing the chakras glowing light within your own body
just observe and feel the colours, their warmth, their coolness, their intensity and how that makes you feel. Please make sure while you are
doing this you are still inhaling for a count of four and exhaling for a count of 4. Once you are comfortable and are feeling more relaxed with
visualizing or feeling the colours you can move onto step 4.
3.
At this stage you will be inhaling for a count of four and exhaling for a count of four, while observing the chakras semi-precious stones back lit
while imagining the lights of the chakras glowing from within you, emanating outwards. When reciting the mantra I would like you to inhale for a
count of four and exhale by chanting the mantra provided to you. At this point you can close your eyes, as long as you know the sounds for the
mantra this is okay to do. The time span for chanting minimum 10 -15 minutes to a maximum 15-30 minutes a day.
4.
After this procedure has been followed, slowly get back into your body; start to feel your body. Start to slowly move your toes, your ankles, then
calves, knees, hips, stomach, back spine, hands, elbows, shoulders, neck, and finally your head. Get up and move around to get the blood
moving within your body and enjoy your day. I recommend performing this daily.
