Course/Chakras and Body Awareness
Lesson 04
Chakra meditation and cleansing
Observe first. Interpret second. Research third.
Practical work. Not a performance of glowing wheels. You can do this in a chair, in the time it takes to boil a kettle.
What we are actually doing
Moving attention through the body with a bit of kindness. Noticing where you grip. Breathing toward that without a story. Coming back to the room. If colour or sound already helps you, you can add it. You do not have to. Awareness is the lesson.
Cleansing, here, means: I am not taking the last hour's weather into the next hour as if it were fact. It is a reset. It is not an exorcism of your gift.
A practice you can do now
Sit. Feet on the floor. Hands somewhere ordinary.
Breathe out longer than you breathe in, three times.
Bring attention to the sitting bones and the feet. Root. You are here. No need to glow.
Lower belly. Sacral. Want and feeling, allowed, not chased.
Upper belly. Solar plexus. Will, without a fist.
Chest. Heart. One kind breath for whatever is there, including nothing.
Throat. Space for a true sentence, including silence.
Brow. Seeing, without straining for a vision.
Top of the head. Meaning, then immediately back down through the body to the feet. Crown without feet is a balloon. Come back.
Open your eyes. Name one object in the room. That is the close.
Practice
Before a reading, after a reading
Do the practice above, slowly, once. Then pull one card and look. Then sit again for one minute, feet only, and notice what changed. Write both. That is cleansing as awareness, not as theatre. If colour appeared, you may note it. You do not need it.
Open the practicePractice
One centre, one minute
Choose the centre that felt noisiest. Sit with only that area for one minute. Breathe toward it. Do not fix it. Then pull a card for what this theme needs in my life. Read the card. Then go and do one ordinary thing: water, walk, message, rest.
