Understanding Color Meditation And How It Will Increase Your Sense Of Well Being

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 base of the spine houses the root Chakra. Red is associated with it and represents the individual's life force. Focusing on it rids you of frustration and anger. The root Chakra stimulates the mind and body. It increases circulation. The sacral Chakra is found in the vicinity of your naval. This Chakra stimulates the nervous system and is associated with creativity and physical attraction. Orange is the color assigned to it.

The solar plexus Chakra is associated with yellow and located below your breastbone. Yellow is a sign of mental alertness and vitality. When you focus on yellow, you improve your sense of optimism, happiness, and improve analytical thought. Green is the color of the heart Chakra. You will find it in the center of the chest. Green is for healing. Concentrating on it will increase your sense of peace and love.

The throat Chakra is found where you would expect it and is associated with blue. This is the area that gives you confidence and encourages self-expression. The third eye Chakra, represented by indigo, is at the center of your forehead. Concentrating on indigo promotes peace of mind. At the top of your skull rests the violet crown Chakra. This is the place of universal consciousness.

Most experts recommend newcomers to this form of meditating to start off slowly. You can get more benefits from your first efforts if you concentrate on one color instead of several. Consider the things in your life that you have concerns about. Focusing on red when you are in a troubling relationship is an example. For those with physical issues, concentrate on the area of your troubles and the Chakra color that presides over it.

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.
