[Music] Chakra Sleep Meditation. Hello and welcome to this guided meditation. A gentle way to close your day, a chance to relax and realign your body, mind, and spirit. Let's begin our practice seated or laying down in a place you feel comfortable falling asleep in. Silence any distractions. Shut off the lights and allow your mind to enter a space suitable for a deep and restful sleep. Your shoulder blades are tucked back, your shoulders low and open. Take a deep breath and feel the way it flows with your chest opened naturally and easily. [Music] Right now, we are going to take a journey that will be just as natural and effortless as your breathing. So, allow yourself a moment to just enjoy the feeling of stillness. And when you are ready, let your eyes close. With your eyes closed, you are able to intuitively sense the tension in both your body and your spirit. Although this may be disconcerting at first, know that your ability to feel these discomforts also brings with it the power to release them. Right now, you have the opportunity to free any physical tension, leaving you space to release the mental or emotional stress you carry with you. With this in mind, take a deep breath in, inviting in growth and healing. And when you are ready, exhale, letting go of any worry, anger, or resentment you carry within you. Repeat this process, allowing yourself to drift into a deeper and deeper sense of relaxation. [Music] During this meditation, we will sink into a profound relaxation as your consciousness shifts from thoughts to healing. You have a magnificent power, a tremendous ability to heal yourself with only your imagination. Over the course of this spoken recording, you will find yourself encountering the seven chakras or energy centers in your body. You will understand what parts of your life may need a little energy healing. And you will give your spirit exactly what it needs. Compassion, gentleness, and the ability to transform into something more beautiful than you can ever imagine. So for right now, relax a little deeper. Feel every part of your body from your feet right up to your face from your scalp right down to your toes. As you notice tension, allow it to dissolve away, sinking into a state of blissful calm. Feel your breath and relax. [Music] [Music] As you grow more relaxed, your attention drifts to a red light at the base of your tailbone. This is the root chakra, your connection with the earth and your physical body. It grounds you and harnesses your energy at a very intuitive level. This chakra is your sense of survival. It has your will to live. As such, fear or trauma in this area can manifest itself through physical or mental imbalance, fear, or distrust of others. At its best, this chakra allows you to reconnect with wisdom and stories of your ancestors, resting secure in your own place in the human family. If you have struggled with any of these areas or simply wish to boost your courage and resourcefulness, imagine this ruby red light growing stronger and more resolute with each inhale. Feel your strength and rootedness growing with every breath, even as your body sinks into a deeper sense of calm. [Music] Your breath and awareness continues up your spine. to rest just above your pelvis. [Music] This is your sacral chakra represented by an orange light. Take a moment to sense the energy of this chakra. [Music] Is the orange light brilliantly colored or does it emit just a dull glow? Whatever you sense, allow your breath to flow freely and without judgment as you listen to the wisdom of this chakra. [Music] The second chakra is your center for emotions pleasure nurturing and creation, whatever that may mean to you. Our desire for warmth and nourishment resides here, as does the drive to create things that share our gifts and talents with the world. A lack or surplus of any of these things can result in an imbalance or sense of disease in these areas. So as you listen to the wisdom of your body, feel your breath stoking the fire of your second chakra, restoring your energy and vitality. Breathing in and out. [Music] [Music] as you grow more relaxed. Feel your mind shifting gently to your third chakra, the energy center that pulses with yellow light just below your solar plexus. This chakra is the home of your willpower and sense of belonging. As you notice the way it looks and feels, ask yourself if you have felt any discomfort in this area, either physically or mentally. [Music] Are there places in your life that you feel you aren't meant to be? Do you have habits or routines you wish you could put an end to or develop further? Maybe with every breath you take, this golden light grows brighter and brighter. As the light brightens, you can feel your sense of self and your personal drive returning to balance, either increasing in strength or mellowing in intensity as you breathe and grow even more tranquil. [Music] [Music] Your body sinks deeper into the bed, engulfed in a sea of relaxation. Your consciousness, calm and at ease, turn its attention to the fourth chakra lit by an emerald light resting at your heart. This chakra, like the ancient heart symbol, represents love and compassion for yourself and others. In its purest state, this love is unconditional, unreserved, and filled with joy. [Music] Love is a part of everything from the way you order a meal at a restaurant to the way you talk to your body. For many of us, love is a subject tainted with anger, pain, and distrust. [Music] As you breathe, allow your mind to disconnect from past relationships, experiences, and beliefs that may limit your ability to love others without reason or expectation. [Music] And as you do so, feel your heart grow warmer and this emerald light become brighter and cleaner. [Music] [Music] Feel [Music] [Music] your breath rise a little higher, stopping at your throat. Noticing the bright blue light that emanates from this part of your spiritual consciousness. This chakra addresses speaking our truths, sharing our creativity and ideas, and moderating the balance of sharing and listening. As you breathe a little deeper, feeling muscle tension dissolving away, ask yourself if this blue light is as vibrant as you would like. Is there something that you need to say that you haven't yet? Have you said something you regret? Do you balance your speaking with listening, your creativity with rest? If not, smile gently at yourself and forgive even as you allow your focus to strengthen this area to better represent your spiritual intelligence and magnificent wisdom. And as this light grows brighter, cleaner, more pure, feel your body sink a little deeper into your bed. The blankets around you soothing your body as your spirit grows stronger and brighter than ever before. [Music] [Music] Above this bright blue light is the darker regal glow of your sixth chakra, the third eye chakra. It is located just between your eyebrows and governs your ability to see and understand. Seeing in this context does not just imply the physical act of viewing what is around you. Instead, it allows you to perceive the meaning of what you witness. Allow yourself to reflect on whether you have been missing the obvious or seeing things where there are none. If you find yourself skewed one way or another, simply allow your breath to realign your body and spirit as you feel your intuitive self grow in confidence and clarity. Breathe and feel this chakra between your eyes. Notice the sensations that come with it. So you understand when the third eye begins to communicate through your physical presence. [Music] [Music] [Music] And now your awareness reaches your seventh chakra, the crown chakra, which inhabits no physical space in your body, but instead hovers above your scalp like a halo. Some people perceive this chakra as a royal purple. while others see it as brilliant white, the combination of all other colors of light. Whatever you may see here, allow your consciousness to ponder the phrase, I know, for it is this mantra that guides this chakra. Boredom, depression, and confusion can result in an imbalance in this area. For it is the crown chakra that helps us focus not on ourselves as individuals, but on ourselves as a part of a greater whole. So breathe in welcoming the unity that comes from the being part of something greater and feel your physical being revel in the unity of mind, body and spirit. Breathe in and let go. [Music] [Music] [Music] And now give yourself a moment to understand the way alignment feels in your body. [Music] Sense the rainbow of light that begins at your tailbone and runs all the way up your spine. illuminating your body and the room around you with a vibrant light. Feel the strength and confidence that comes from being totally aligned. Body, mind, and spirit working together in perfect concert. Feel it and breathe. Give yourself the permission you need to relax for a few moments. Utterly and completely giving yourself to this sense of deep relaxation and wholeness. At this moment in time, you are in tune with a tremendous power yourself. [Music] As the spoken part of this meditation draws to a close, focus your attention on the way your body feels. Enjoy the sensations of harmony and peace as you feel your mind drifting into unconsciousness as your body follows suit. Breathe and know that you are complete. Namaste.
