We are glad to welcome you, dear readers! Indian yogis have long been concerned about this topic - human chakras and their opening. And they managed to find the answer. In Sanskrit texts written by the guy Purnananda Yati.
True, we didn’t quite get it accurate translation John Woodroffe, and Purnananda himself relied on earlier sources when composing his scripture. But today I invite you to familiarize yourself with a practice that has captivated thousands, if not millions, of people over the years. recent years one hundred.
Why do you need to do this?
In the body of each of us there are centers that are responsible for a certain type of energy. They are usually called chakras. They are connected to each other, therefore, if at least one is unbalanced, “clogged,” then, as you understand, the whole body suffers.
There is a disruption in the circulation of flows, and accordingly, this affects not only health, but also success, thinking, and general well-being of a person.
In addition, it is necessary to “clean” them constantly, having once achieved the desired result - it is pointless to hope that now it will always be like this. It’s like cleaning a house; it’s important to maintain cleanliness every day. Somewhere wiping dust, somewhere putting things in cabinets, putting away dishes and so on.
In general, in short, it is important to open them in order to live happily, in harmony with the world and oneself. And also to be healthy, strong, active and successful.

Meditations
The algorithm for performing each of the meditations below is almost the same. At least the original position.
You need to make sure that no one can disturb you while performing any technique, otherwise, while concentrating, you will lose the important image and all your efforts will be in vain. Mute mobile phone, warn your loved ones that you will be busy for a certain period of time, and so on.
Afterwards you need to sit in a comfortable position. It is special for each chakra, although, in fact, it is important to be in the one that does not cause discomfort. Because the principle is the same - relax and close your eyes.
Take several cycles of deep breaths and exhalations. After which, as the thoughts in your head “settle down” a little, or you stop actively being involved in them, you can begin to visualize.
Upon completion, before opening your eyes, it is important to repeat cycles of deep breathing, and return to reality as soon as you feel that you are ready to see the world around you again.
It is advisable to meditate before bed, this will not only achieve the best effect, but also relieve stress throughout the day, providing yourself with a calm, restorative and sound sleep.
Muladhara
You need to feel how heat begins to pulsate and “spread” in the area of the genitals and anus. Imagine that you are literally breathing from this center. Observe your condition for about 5 minutes. Or at least as long as you can concentrate. Then imagine that red streams are slowly rising up the spine, gradually filling your entire body, every cell of it.
This technique will provide not only disclosure, but also cleansing of negativity.
Svadhisthana
You should feel how the area of the sacrum becomes warm. Imagine that in that place there is an orange funnel, which gradually grows to such a size that it literally fills your entire body. You experience a rush of energy, warm, pulsating, but at the same time relaxing.
Manipura
It is necessary to meditate, imagining how with each inhalation the chest expands, and with each exhalation it narrows. Observe this process for at least a few minutes, this will allow you to concentrate on the sensations, “disconnecting” from the troubles that are inevitably present in the lives of each of us.
There should be a funnel yellow, the pulsation may feel a little different, with slight tingling. This is quite normal, don't be alarmed.
Anahata
Try first to remember what happened to you at the moment when you experienced love. Immerse yourself in this state. Then imagine a green, and possibly emerald or turquoise funnel.
How it expands, capturing every cell of the body, filling it with carelessness, joy, only calm, satisfaction and understanding that you are valuable and loved.
Vishuddha
Concentrate on the sensations in your throat. Observe each inhalation and exhalation, thanks to which the funnel grows, becomes larger and brighter. You should be overcome by peace and tranquility.

This body of yours was able to “read” information about the lack of any substances, vitamins, minerals and, with the help of the subconscious, “reach out” to consciousness.
Therefore, for example, if you began to consume greens in excessive quantities, this means that there was a malfunction in the heart chakra, it was blocked or “contaminated” with negativity.

They are usually used to increase the level of self-esteem, believe in one’s strength and external attractiveness. Also to attract success and wealth into your life.
Think about what exactly you are missing, taking into account the specifics of each center, and come up with your own affirmation to improve the situation for the better.

You will learn how to compile and use them correctly by clicking on.
Exercises
Disclosure
Sit in lotus position with your legs crossed. You should not try to put your knees on the floor if your stretching does not allow this. Focus on your capabilities so that you feel comfortable and can relax. Close your eyes and chant Aouum (Om mantra) as many times as you want, as long as they are a multiple of three.
Focus on the first zone, imagining a flower in its place. Any one you want, the main thing is that it is red. Then watch it open, petal by petal.
If you can’t see it right away, don’t be discouraged, gradually, if you are patient, you will succeed. Figurative or out-of-the-box thinking It is quite possible to develop, exercises for training you.
If you manage to imagine a flower, linger long enough to feel and enjoy the beauty of the vibration and the blooming process. The main thing is to devote at least a minute to this.
Then repeat these steps with each chakra. Upon completion, also chant the Om mantra, and when you are ready, open your eyes. You shouldn’t immediately come to your senses and get up and switch to other things.
Stay in this state, mentally observe how the sensations in your body change. If you perform this exercise correctly and with high quality, you will feel harmony, peace and saturation.
Activation
Happens through singing. The algorithm of actions is the same as in the previous paragraph, only instead of a performance we sing. We start, accordingly, with the lowest one – the root one. We pronounce sounds that relate specifically to her. Then we move on to the next one.
Cleaning
Close your eyes and take a comfortable position. Standing only. This time you will also have to use your imagination. You need to imagine each energy center in the form of a vessel that is filled with the purifying light of the Latihan. It is golden white.
Unlike other exercises, it is important to start from the top of the head. Close the bottom hole with a stopper and fill this bowl with the Latihan. Watch carefully how it dissolves the negative in the vessel. It can be thought of as lumps of dirt.
Afterwards, mentally brush the walls to make sure they are clean. At the end of the cleaning procedure, wash the dirt into the ground and move on to the next center.
Conclusion

How open chakras?
The question “How to open the chakras?” has become very popular and even fashionable recently. It excites those who would like to engage in self-development. Opening and activating the chakras¹ allows you to acquire different abilities, strengthen spiritual and physical health, and also lead to enlightenment² and a person’s awareness of his purpose and place in the world.
It's no secret that every person has energy, and we all revolve in the same energy field. The chakras are the main points of contact between the etheric and physical bodies, or the conduits through which we are fed with the solar and pranic³ energies of the universe.
Through the chakras, a person exchanges energy with the outside world and with other people. If the chakra is blocked, it causes problems and difficulties in life. This is why it is important to know how to open the chakras.
Activation of the chakras helps a person to reveal his highest potential, to be filled with confidence, abundance, self-love, and the circumstances of his life begin to develop more favorably.
The very concept of “chakra” is abstract. They cannot be seen or touched, but they can be felt. Each human chakra is responsible for certain spiritual qualities and energy in one or another area of life. It is believed that if a person fails in some area, then some chakra does not work for him.

² Enlightenment (awakening) is a religious concept meaning “a holistic and complete awareness of the nature of reality” (Wikipedia).

Muladhara chakra is the center of basic instincts and survival. As a rule, in humans it is quite active. However, the energy in it may be unbalanced. In this article I will tell you how to open and develop the muladhara chakra and restore its functioning.
Located root chakra in the tailbone area, between the genitals and the anus. Incorrect functioning of the first chakra is indicated by anger, aggression, greed, and bitterness. I have already written in more detail about this. Be sure to check it out if you haven't read it yet.
There are several ways to restore the functioning of muladhara. These are meditations, active points, chanting mantras, etc. They will be discussed below.
Activation of muladhara through active points
Each chakra corresponds to special points on the arms and legs, by pressing on which you can awaken the root chakra.
These points are shown in the figure - see photo.
First we will work with the hands. Find the active point on right hand— it is located on the convex part of the radius. Press it lightly thumb other hand. Massage it clockwise.
If you experience pain or discomfort, then this indicates stagnation of energy in the muladhara chakra.
Massage until the pain goes away, but don't get too carried away. After this, repeat the procedure on your left hand.
Let's move on to working with points on the feet. Here the active points are located on the lower posterior edge of the heel bone. Massage in the same way clockwise, first the right foot, then the left.
This exercise will help open the muladhara chakra if it is blocked and will also help balance it.
Visualization and meditation on the chakra
Let's start meditating on muladhara. Take a comfortable position. It is important that the spine is straight when performing the exercise. That is, you can sit, for example, on the edge of a chair.
Lotus or Turkish pose is not suitable for this exercise.
Direct your attention to the area where the root chakra is located - the base of the spine. A chakra is a spinning funnel of energy, try to imagine it in red. How does energy move?
- If the movement is even, stable, smooth, then the chakra is working harmoniously.
- If the movement is impetuous and uneven, this indicates stagnation of energy in muladhara.
Bring your attention to your feet. Through the soles of your feet, inhale pure red light from the earth. Imagine how this light passes through the legs and reaches muladhara. As you exhale, visualize a red column of light radiating from your root chakra into your aura and then back into the earth.
Perform muladhara activation for 5-10 minutes. When finished, direct your attention to the first chakra and try to determine what changes have occurred in its functioning.
Correspondence between chakra and element
In Indian philosophy, it is believed that the entire Universe consists of five primary elements:
- Earth;
- Water;
- Fire;
- Air;
- Ether.
The element of Earth is associated with the root chakra, and in the image of the muladhara chakra it is symbolized by a yellow square. The main quality of the Earth is hardness.
The square has 4 sides, they represent the 4 cardinal directions, as well as 4 qualities that are mandatory for a person following the path of spiritual development:
- directness;
- honesty;
- moral;
- integrity.
Hindus believe that the square symbolizes the stability and order of the Universe. In accordance with this, our life should also be orderly, so we can develop the muladhara chakra and normalize its work.
Think of the Earth element as a living being. She also strives for purification and elevation.
And for this, the Earth needs to get rid of toxins and pollution received from human activities. Mentally send light and love to the Earth.
Let's move on to working with the first chakra through the element of the Earth element.
Meditation
Meditation on the earth element will help in activating the mooladhara chakra. This exercise is best done outside so you can stand on the ground. If you can’t organize it, then you can study at home.
To perform the exercise, stand straight and straighten your shoulders. Breathe in and out rhythmically and relax. Then bring your attention to the soles of your feet.
Visualize yourself growing your roots into the ground through the soles of your feet. Let the Earth nourish you with its energy. This increases your resilience.
After 3-4 minutes, direct your attention to the top of your head. Visualize a white beam of light entering through the top of your head, down your spine, down to your feet, and then into the ground.
Send this life-giving energy to the Earth. In gratitude for the fact that she nourished you. Enjoy the fact that you act as a vessel for the exchange of energies.
Mantra for the first chakra
Working with mantras is directly related to breathing. Therefore, before chanting the mantra, you should perform breathing exercises.
Take a comfortable position, relax, but your spine should remain straight. The lotus position or Turkish pose is best.
For comfort, you can place a small pillow under the buttocks. Concentrate on your breathing. This promotes relaxation and calm.
Now you can start the exercise. Mentally count to 5 and then inhale, then mentally count to 5 again and exhale. Continue breathing for a count of 5.
If it is still difficult for you to hold your breath for so long, then try breathing on a count of 3. Over time, your lung volume will increase slightly, then you will be able to increase the time you hold your breath to 7 seconds.
While breathing, you need to focus on the tip of your nose. Try to feel the temperature change during the moments of inhalation and exhalation. Feel the air entering and exiting through your nostrils.
Continue for 5-10 minutes. After this, focus your attention on the muladhara chakra. Visualize white light entering it as you inhale and purifying it as you exhale. This completes the work with the first chakra on breathing, and we move on to getting acquainted with mantras.
Mantra Lam
Exercises with mantras are performed immediately after breathing practice. The muladhara chakra mantra sounds like “lam”. Her pronunciation has a deep “ah”. The sound “m” should be pronounced slightly “on the nose”. If you have studied English language, then you are familiar with this pronunciation - these are words ending in -ing.
Mantras are chanted, here is the sequence of actions:
- take a deep breath;
- as you exhale, open your mouth and begin to chant the first half of the mantra: “la-a-a-aaa...”;
- cover your mouth and sing the ending through your nose: “mm-mm-mm”;
- After completing the exhalation, take another breath and repeat the mantra from the beginning.
If you are a little familiar with music and know the musical tones, then try to chant the Lam mantra on the note C. However, this is an optional rule; choose the key that suits you.
Sing softly. You should feel vibrations in the area of the root chakra, this will indicate that the work with the mantra was carried out correctly. To help yourself, concentrate your attention on the first chakra and direct the sound there.
The duration of chanting the muladhara chakra mantra is at least 5 minutes. After completing the exercise, do not get up immediately. Sit for a while and relax. Analyze your condition to see if it has changed after the exercise.
Yantra for Muladhara
Yantra is a sacred, mystical symbol. It serves for concentration and meditation. With regular practice, a person can increase the level of consciousness and develop the muladhara chakra.
Yogis and representatives of other esoteric movements use a variety of yantras. Each of them carries a special energy.
The Muladhara Yantra is a yellow square with a red triangle inside, pointing downwards. Prepare an image for meditation. It is best to print it on a printer or draw it yourself.
Sit in the lotus or Turkish position. Place the yantra so that you can clearly see it. Breathe calmly, you can practice breathing with a delay for a count of 5, as described above.
The exercise is not limited in time, focus on your feelings. Relax and focus your attention on the yantra. Look at the yellow square. It symbolizes the Earth and its solidity.
Think about whether you have an energetic connection with the Earth? Do you have a solid base or foundation from which to begin your journey of spiritual development? If not, then later do the Earth Element Meditation (described above).
The color yellow is associated with intelligence, it will help you find out what changes need to happen in life for your development and self-improvement. On initial stages On this path, the mind will be your best ally, but in the future you will be able to rise above the intellect.
Think about the integrity of this symbol and the duality needed to achieve it. Become aware of your own dualism. Think about how balanced your male and female energies are.
How do you divide your time between work and play? Solving problems using logic involves the left hemisphere of the brain, and creative activity uses the right hemisphere.
Think about your diet. It must also have harmony and balance to achieve the integrity of the body. Also think about whether you live in harmony with yourself and with other people. What is required for your spiritual development?
Video on activating muladhara
In conclusion, I suggest you watch a video about activating and balancing the muladhara chakra:
First, let's understand the very concept of “chakra”. It has been around for hundreds of years, but most people simply don't believe it. After all, it cannot be touched or seen. But let's look at it from the other side. Every day we are surrounded by various signals, radiations and fields. We have no doubt about their existence, although we cannot see or touch them.
Yoga and its various teachings call chakras the energy centers in the human body. Each of these centers is responsible for one or another area of life of its owner and the health of a certain group of organs. A blocked center does not provide enough energy to a person for development in the area for which it is responsible. For example, a person may have excellent physical characteristics, but blocked centers of spiritual and mental development do not give him the opportunity to achieve high quality in his profession or enter a university. Fortunately, this problem is fixable.

Chakras, or energy centers, are distributed evenly throughout the human body. There is a certain theory about where they are located. The alternate sequence of centers is the same for all people. But the exact location at a certain point on the body may differ. To determine the exact location of the chakra in your body, there are many practices and meditations. It will be more difficult to understand whether it is working correctly. To do this, you will have to find out what this or that chakra is responsible for, and carefully analyze the area of life that it should stimulate.
Closed muladhara chakra
This is the root chakra or the first one. It is on this that the most important human instinct is based - self-preservation. Muladhara is located at the base of the spinal column. It is traditionally better developed in men. It is this energy center that is responsible for confidence, stability, and a person’s connection with reality.
A person with well-developed muladhara is calm and self-confident. He is able to satisfy all his basic needs: food, shelter, security. Another sign of a well-developed muladhara is mental stability.
As mentioned above, in women this chakra is less developed. The fact is that a man must give her this energy and security. Only in this case is a full-fledged union possible.
People with a poorly developed root chakra give the impression of a weak personality. They don’t want to take their opinion into account physical state body leaves much to be desired. Moreover, often such people deliberately avoid physical activity.
Closed chakra svadhisthana
Svadhisthana is the second chakra. It is associated with muladhara. The harmonious development of the other will depend on the correct functioning of one center. This chakra is also called the sexual center. But it should not be confused with the basic desire to reproduce. Svadhisthana, strive for the pleasure of knowledge not only physical. People with a harmoniously developed second center are able to see and understand people. As a rule, they are full-fledged individuals who can afford compassion and understanding. They are happy to take care of their relatives and help those who need help. Communication with them is easy, interesting, pleasant.
Such people are always more attractive to the opposite sex. Women with well-harmonized svadhisthana are always more attractive. Even if they don’t have the most attractive appearance.
A blocked center leads to a denial of feelings and emotions. Such people are fixated on themselves. They do not want to take responsibility for their relatives, and often lack a sense of tact. It is difficult for them to explain that some actions can offend or offend.
Closed manipura chakra
The third chakra is called manipura. This is the center of business excellence. Manipura requires professional development and implementation. People with a well-developed third center achieve things much faster and easier. career growth. The chakra gives them strength for work and self-realization. The same cannot be said about those who have this center blocked. Unfortunately, there are a lot of such people. As a rule, they are not satisfied with their job, but do not find the strength to change it.
Such employees may spend days and nights at their workplace. But the result of their work is minimal. They wait for years for a promotion, are angry with their bosses, colleagues and themselves.
Closed anahata chakra
The second name of the chakra is “Love Chakra”. It is generally accepted that it is located in the chest area. People with harmonious are calm. They easily make contact, know how to cooperate with the outside world and overcome difficulties with minimal losses. The same cannot be said about the opposite situation. Blocked anahata is typical for people of dubious professions. As a rule, these are scammers and thieves.
They are selfish, lazy and incapable of achieving success through honest means. As a rule, the work of the third and fourth chakras is interconnected.
Closed Vishuddha chakra
The fifth chakra, Vishuddha, is located somewhere in the throat area. This is the communications center. If you are dating a person who is the “life of the party,” you should know that everything is fine with this chakra. In addition, this chakra conveys our emotions. Thanks to her, we can rejoice, worry, worry. In general, express emotions.
If there are difficulties in conveying emotions, fear of communication, or closedness, you should pay attention to the level of development of the fifth center.
Failures in its operation not only impair our communication abilities, but also prevent successful social development. Especially for those people whose professional activity associated with communication.
Closed ajna chakra
Presumably, ajna is located in the forehead area. She is responsible for awareness. This energy center is responsible for a person’s perception of the real world and himself in it. It is this center that makes it possible to see the situation with different sides and makes it possible to accept non-standard solutions, to notice the unusual in the most ordinary things.
Blocking the ajna center does not allow a person to see the situation from different angles. As a rule, when a person sees a problem, he prefers to solve it according to a familiar scheme. Sometimes such actions lead to tragic situations. Since the individual takes into account exclusively his own interests, but cannot assess the harm that will be caused to his environment.
Closed Sahasrara chakra
Sahasrara is the center of knowledge. He is responsible for the development and accumulation of knowledge. It starts working at birth and develops throughout life. Sahasrara crowns the energy of all chakras and connects this energy with the universe. This is the most important chakra. If it works correctly, all the other six centers will strive to develop. Why is this happening? The knowledge that the seventh center gives birth to gives a person understanding and self-awareness. Thus, it forces all other chakras to develop.
Closed sahsara blocks any possibility of development. Each chakra has its own characteristics. But, if the upper energy center is closed, a person does not even have the thought that there are any problems. Such people cannot achieve success in any field until the center is activated.
How to quickly open blocked chakras
Above we briefly understood the meaning of energy centers and their influence on life. common man. The second question that arises is: how to open the chakras on your own? First, you need to identify the center that needs to be worked. To do this, choose a time and place where you can be alone with yourself.
Analyze every area of your life: sexual, professional, creative, social. When you find problems in one area or another, think about whether they are temporary or have always been this way. For example, if you have difficulties with communication, then you need to work with the throat chakra. If attractive woman If there are problems in the sexual sphere, then she should pay attention to the first and second chakras.
Once the problem center has been identified, find out the reason for the blocking. As a rule, this is an abundance of negative emotions in everyday life: anger, shame, fear, etc. Find a way to get rid of them. Meditation and appropriate mantras can help with this. They are best chanted out loud or mentally throughout the meditation. After some time, the strength will appear to correct the situation in the problem area.
Working with chakras for the lazy
If a person does not fully believe in the influence of energy centers or is too lazy to master meditation, try opening the chakras with the help of various items, symbols, images. They will help awaken energy and force the chakras to gradually open.
Cloth
Buy yourself a monochromatic set of clothes, the color of the chakra you need to open. These clothes should be worn several times a week. These could be things for home or training. For example, this option is perfect for doing yoga.
Crystals
Each chakra has its symbolic embodiment in a specific mineral or stone. If the body reacts poorly to a mineral, the energy center does not work well. Purchase a matching stone. Sometimes, hold it in your hands for a few minutes. Such interaction helps strengthen the work of the centers.
Sacred images
You can draw these images yourself or use ready-made materials. The main thing is that when you look at them, you feel calm and peaceful. Henna designs on hands will work well. Moreover, it looks very beautiful.
Food
Many experts on this issue advise giving up heavy foods for a while. Try following a vegetarian diet for a while, or fractional meals. This will allow the body not to waste extra energy on digestion and will cleanse it.
Fragrances
Try to avoid unpleasant odors. They call out in us negative emotions. But from the point of view of working on energy centers, it is worth purchasing a fragrance that corresponds to the problematic chakra. It can be aroma lamp, sticks, other types of incense.
Candles
They can be either simple or aromatic. Works great during meditation. The flame helps a person relax and focus on himself.
Sounds

Chakras (energy centers) influence all areas of a person’s life, from his social status and personal life to character and health. It is the balanced, pumped and cleared chakras that work normally and do not cause failures that are reflected outwardly. In this article I will give you techniques to work on. central channel and chakras (7 energy centers), located visually in the range of the spinal column.
Cleaning and pumping the central channel
Stand up straight or sit in lotus position. Whatever suits you. It is advisable not to perform the practice while lying down. So, you have taken the desired position, close your eyes and visualize. Focus your attention on the coccyx area (the lowest point). The red Muladhara chakra is located there. Imagine that a cylindrical column extends from this lower chakra straight into the Earth, reaching its very center. Yin (cool, blue) energy rises to you from the center of the Earth. It reaches your Muladhara and passes along the spine to the very top of the head through the remaining 6 chakras, after which it rushes beyond through the crown directly to the core of the Sun. From the core of the Sun to your crown (Sahasrara chakra) a stream of Yang (hot, golden) energy rushes, reaching the crown, it passes along the spinal column through the remaining 6 chakras and rushes to the center of the Earth.
You have a cylindrical pipe (your channel is central). The Yang energy of the sun and the Yin energy of the earth flow through it. Visualize these two currents (gold and blue) spiraling through you and ending at the center of the Earth and Sun. They cleanse and fill you, forcing the chakras to work more intensely and harmoniously. All blocks dissolve, you become full-fledged and energetically harmonious individuals. Practice for 5 minutes.
Cleansing, promotion, harmonization of chakras
Before going to bed, sit in the lotus position. Close your eyelids. And now you must pump all 6 chakras through the 7th chakra Sahasrara. Thoughts should not bother you - stop them internal dialogue by focusing on breathing for a while, for example.
How to pump up chakras? Instructions for practice

3. As you inhale, visually draw in a violet stream of energy through the Sahasrara (top of the head) and direct it as you exhale along the central column (spine) to the lowest red chakra, Muladhara. Do this for at least 5 minutes. Inhale - draw in energy through the crown, exhale - direct energy to the chakra being worked on.
