Chakra meditation

Chakra Meditation Details


Chakra meditation is used to energize the seven different energy centers that are in your body.

These centers are:
· Crown chakra. This is based outside your body just above your head and is the master chakra that controls all the others. The crown chakra is normally colored violet.
· Ajna or third eye chakra. This is linked with the pineal gland, which is a small gland located in your brain. The color of this chakra is indigo.
· Throat chakra. This is linked with your thyroid gland and has the color blue.
· Heart chakra. Located at your heart, this chakra is linked with your immune system. Keeping your heart chakra in tune assists with your overall well being. The color for the heart chakra is green.
· Solar plexus chakra. This is said to correspond to your pancreas and adrenal glands and plays a valuable role in digestion. It has the color yellow.
· Sacral chakra. Located in your groin, the sacral chakra is related to your emotion, sexuality and creativity. If it is out of balance, you may suffer from mood swings. Color for this chakra is orange.
· Base or root chakra. This chakra is associated with instinct, survival and security and is located at the base of the spine. The base chakra has the color red.

A typical chakra meditation will start at the base chakra and gradually work it's way through each of the other chakras until it reaches the crown chakra.

As the meditation progresses, each chakra will be balanced. The meditation will work on each chakra in turn and will focus on getting the imbalances that occur over time back into their natural state of balance. The meditation will also move each of the different chakra centers until they are in balance with each other.

When starting out, it is probably easiest to use a pre-recorded meditation to guide you through each of the chakras and to ensure that the balancing process is followed.

Breathing Meditation

Breathing Meditation Details


In Breathing meditation, you will be focusing on your breath.

This is probably one of the easiest methods of meditation to begin with.

Start by adopting a comfortable position. You could sit down in a chair or lie back on a bed. The important part is to be comfortable so that you're able to focus solely on your breathing.

Once you're comfortable, close your eyes.

Start to notice your breathing. We breathe so often that we tend to take breathing for granted. So take the time to notice your breathing.

Notice the air filling your lungs.

Then notice as you breathe out and the air leaves your lungs.

Repeat the process of noticing your breath.

As you do this, you'll find thoughts coming up. They might be about family, friends, work or absolutely anything else. That doesn't matter – it's all part of the process and it is perfectly normal to continue to have thoughts whilst you are meditating.

But once these thoughts come up, let them drift out with your next breath. Each you’re your thoughts drift, bring your mind back to focusing on your breathing.

One of the best programs I've found for breathing meditations can be found at:

Guided meditations

Guided Meditation How To Do Guided Meditation?


Guided meditations are a good place to start your meditation practice. Whilst it is possible to guide yourself during the meditation process, the easiest guided meditations to follow are pre-recorded and all you have to do is sit back and listen.

A guided meditation will usually begin by taking you to a calm, quiet place.

Some typical places to start are:  


· A large, peaceful garden with birdsong and sometimes a stream running through it
· A clearing in a forest, often with a babbling brook nearby
· A beach, with the sound of the sea lapping

Once you are in the quiet place, you will be guided to notice the sounds, smells and sensations that can be experienced in the chosen location. For instance, if you are in a garden or forest, you will probably be guided to notice the feel of the grass on your feet, possibly some dew on the grass. On the beach, you'll be guided to feel the warm sand in between your toes.

Then the meditation will gradually explore the surroundings, bringing in the other sensations that you would expect to experience.

If the guided meditation is partially based on hypnosis, it is possible that a hypnotic deepening routine will be used to drop you further down into your meditative state. This is usually done by taking you down a series of steps and counting the steps as you go.

This technique is powerful and the deepening sensation can be used to heighten any meditation process that you perform.

Zen Meditation - how to do zen meditation?

Zen Meditation How To Do Zen Meditation


Zen meditation is normally practiced sitting on a cushion on the floor. There are two main items used for Zen Meditation, called zafu and zabuton. Between them, they can take the edge off sitting on a hard floor surface. The zabuton is a mat placed on the floor. The zafu is a cushion that is placed on top of the zabuton. They can help to take the pressure off your legs whilst you meditate.

The idea of using cushions is to help you focus your mind on the meditation itself, rather than any aches or pains that you could experience whilst sitting on a hard wooden floor.

The aim of Zen Meditation is to simply sit and open the "hand" of thought. Traditionally, it is practiced in a sitting position, with folded legs and hands. Your spine is kept upright during the meditation.

There are several different sitting positions that you can take whilst practicing Zen Meditation. Select one which is comfortable for you.

Once you have reached your desired sitting position, half lower your eyelids so that your eyes are neither fully open nor fully closed. This will allow you to stay awake whilst not being distracted by outside objects.

When you start to practice Zen meditation, you will begin by concentrating. This usually involves focusing on your breath, often whilst counting. Over time, you will find that you can concentrate your mind easier each time you start to meditate. 


Zen meditation is probably best experienced by joining a local group so that you can get the most out of the various teachings associated with it, together with the support that a practice group offers.

Walking Meditation

Method Of Walking Meditation


Walking meditation is very much useful when combining with vipasana meditaion. If you can't sit for a long time in a place or just if you need a break in your meditation, then you can do walking meditation. Walking meditation is mainly practiced in Buddhist Meditation methods.

There are four components to a walking meditation:
· Becoming aware of your breathing
· Noticing your surroundings
· Being conscious and attentive to your body’s movement
· Taking some time to reflect on your meditation experience

Become aware of your breathing in much the same way as you would for the breathing meditation process. Notice each breath as you breathe in and then breathe out again. Become conscious of the air filling your lungs and use each exhalation to send out any distracting thoughts – you'll find that after a little bit of practice, your extraneous thoughts will quite happily ride out of you on a cushion of air!

When you start noticing your surroundings, you'll likely be amazed. We take lots of things for granted in our everyday life and much of what is around us goes completely unnoticed. When you are walking around, notice the different colors that you see. Notice that even blades of grass, which initially appear just "green", are actually varied in color and hue. You'll find that once you start this tuning in process, you'll notice more and more things that have previously escaped your attention.

Don't just notice colors. Listen out for sounds. There may be bird song, road noise or the chatter of people or animals. Consciously tune in to these different sounds. Notice the different tunes sung by the birds. If you are in an urban area, pay attention to the different traffic noises. Each car's engine sounds slightly different. So does the sound of wheels on tarmac. You'll find yourself hearing things that have merely passed you by before. There are also smells to fill your senses. Maybe the aroma of freshly mown grass or the sweet smell that occurs just after a shower of rain. There are plenty of smells in the atmosphere and the chances are that most of these have slipped past your consciousness.

Tune into your body's movement. Start to notice the light pressure on the soles of your feet as you walk. Be aware of the air brushing onto your skin, whether it's a calm day or a windy one. Pay attention to your body's movement as you walk around. Feel how your arms swing as you walk along. Notice how you hold your head – is it upright and attentive or a different position? Switch your attention to different body parts as you are walking and you'll be fascinated at what you find.

Once you've completed your walking meditation, take a small amount of time to come back to your normal world. During this period, mentally run through your thoughts and feelings that you experienced during your meditation time. Think what you can do to enhance your experience even further next time you choose to do a walking meditation. Gradually come back from your peaceful site to your regular world.

To improve your meditation process, you can combine walking meditation.
