Chakra Meditation: Root to Crown in Seven Sessions

You have read about the chakras, maybe heard them named in a yoga class, and something in you responds to the idea — but most of what you find is either heavy with jargon or asks you to believe things you are not sure about yet.

This is a warm, body-first course of seven guided meditations, one for each energy center, from root to crown. Each session runs fifteen to twenty minutes and can be done seated or lying down, using nothing more complicated than your breath, a color to rest your attention on, and the simple feeling of weight, opening and quiet in your chest and throat. You can take one a day for a full week, or return to whichever center needs you most.

By the last session you feel steadier in your legs, softer in your heart, and clearer behind your eyes. Find a comfortable place, press play, and let the voice guide you from the ground up.
