Chakras Made Easy

Begin your chakra journey by getting in touch with your root chakra, which develops during early infancy and represents survival. It connects us to the earth and encourages us to ground our body, appreciate it as a sacred temple and develop deep roots before embarking on our spiritual journey. Learn how to create more harmony and feel safer and more secure in your physical body with some simple grounding exercises.

Chakra two is all about learning to move with the ebb and flow of life. We want to be able to shift our bodies with ease and grace and keep things moving forwards freely in our lives. This chakra is also linked to discovering polarities, trying something different and moving towards pleasure. By embracing what we enjoy, and making sure that life is a pleasant experience, we will have the courage to fully explore what feels right or wrong for us.

The third chakra relates to the internal organs, and is the engine that fills us with vitality, fire, strength of will and our true power. It helps to steer our lives and gives us the energy to keep going during difficult times. Exercises to unblock stuck energy and light the fires of your power will help you to find balance, and bring your intention and your energy together so that you have the will to get things done.

Discover the sacred realm of the heart and the meeting of inside and outside, self and other, experiencing and expressing love – which brings us one step closer to unity. This is the chakra where we connect to our breath to find balance and peace. By learning to heal the heart from the hurts we have all experienced, and practising heart-opening exercises to find self-love, we can relate to other people with more intimacy and authenticity, to bring us closer to love.

Learn to explore the throat chakra by letting sound out, expressing yourself and finding freedom from toxic situations. Sound, as a way to communicate, is important in this chakra – every sound and vibration has an impact on us and using sound to communicate effectively makes our personal relationships stronger. By finding your voice and speaking the truth you will find your way to harmony and resonance.

Light and sight are key to the third-eye chakra – seeing with our intuition, imagination and even our dreams, and having a vision for our lives. This is the first of the transpersonal chakras – where we start to transcend and detach from our daily life to look at the world from a wider perspective, which the exercises in this lesson will help you to achieve.

The seventh chakra is where we can expand and raise our consciousness, transcending everything that distracts us in everyday life to reach the realm of the infinite, rather than living in the finite. Learning to sit in meditation is a powerful way to access the seventh chakra, and will keep your mind clean and help you go deeper and move towards experiencing states of divine transcendence.
