Exploring Color Meditation And Why It Seems To Be So Powerful

By Robert Stevens


Fifty years ago, the only people who meditated were monks living on mountain tops and a few New Age individuals who primarily kept to themselves. Today, it is a popular way to relieve stress and focus one's mind. There are convincing studies showing that meditating has a positive effect on those afflicted with Alzheimer's. Color meditation is practiced by many. It involves improving the mind body connection by focusing on the colors of Chakra.

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.

The root Chakra, located at your spine's base, is associated with red. This is your life force, and meditations that focus on red will release bottled up anger and frustration. Red is stimulating to your mind and body. It improves circulation. The sacral Chakra is orange. You will find it around your naval. Orange is the tone of physical pleasure and creative energy. It stimulates your nervous system.

Just beneath your breastbone is the yellow solar plexus Chakra. It signifies vitality and mental acuity. Focusing on the yellow Chakra gives you a sense of happiness and optimism. It improves analytical thought. The heart Chakra is associated with green. This is your healing Chakra found right in the middle of your chest. Concentrating your attention on green increases a sense of love and peace.

Self-expression and confidence finds its energy source in the throat Chakra. It is represented by blue. The color of the third eye Chakra is indigo. You will find it above and between your eyebrows. Peace of mind is what you may feel by focusing on indigo. A the top on your skull is the crown Chakra represented by violet. Violet is 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.

To meditate on all the colors, you have to begin by creating a vision of golden light above you. As it descends and permeates your entire body, you start to relax and only then can you begin to focus on each individual Chakra. Begin with the red root Chakra, and move to the top of the skull.

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.
