OPENING YOUR CHAKRAS

This is the method for opening and closing the Chakras and the Aura that is used in many of the Divinate Workshops and Short Courses. It may be practised as a Meditation in itself, as it incorporates the Golden Healing Energy which heals, replenishes and strengthens the Aura; and it also keeps the Chakras balanced and energised, allowing the energies of the physical and subtle bodies to flow smoothly, thus encouraging health and well-being.

It may also be used as a preparation for other more advanced forms of Guided Meditation or Healing.

Relax.   Make sure you're sitting comfortably.

Call upon the Universe or Divine Spirit to help and protect you (you may call upon any Divine Name or Image that you feel the most connection with, or indeed on a more general Source of Strength, such as the Universe, or the inner power of the human spirit).

Concentrate on your breathing... you are breathing in peace and relaxation...

You are breathing out all stress and tension from every part of your being...

Feel and see the tension being released, like smoke, into the air, and sifting from your body, like sand, into the earth...

See it dissolving away, leaving you more and more at peace...

Allow your breath to warm your body... breathe out all remaining tension...

Breathe in peace and healing... breathe peace and healing into every part of your being...

See or feel your protective Aura surrounding you... it is an Egg or Sphere of dense and vital energy with a hard shell, extending around your body just beyond the reach of your hands and feet...
See or feel it being filled and surrounded by warm Blue or Gold Light...

Feel secure and peaceful...

When you are ready, see your Etheric Roots stretching from the soles of your feet deep into the centre of Mother Earth. Feel these Roots anchoring you to the ground, feel them drawing up all the loving strength and energy that you need from Mother Earth...

Take time to absorb all of the healing Earth energies up through your legs and into the whole of your body...
you are feeling stronger and more solid...

Now see a radiant Column of White Light descending from the Highest heights above you to deep within the centre of Mother Earth beneath you, surrounding you and your Aura with Protection, keeping you balanced and aligned as you meditate...

Now gently open your Chakras. Picture each of them as beautiful flowers, opening up their petals to radiate a crystal-clear coloured Light...
from the intense Red of the Base Chakra (at the base of your spine), centre of the Material Life-Force...
Upwards through the vibrant Orange of the Sacral Chakra (just below your navel), centre of the Warm Creative Self... the dazzling Yellow of the Solar Plexus Chakra (just beneath your ribs), centre of Joy and Confidence... the emerald Green and warm Pink of the Heart Chakra (in the centre of your chest), centre of Pure Love... the brilliant azure Blue of the Throat Chakra (in the middle of your neck), centre of Divine Communication... the shimmering Violet of the Third Eye Chakra (above the bridge of your nose), centre of Expanding Vision... to the pure white Crown Chakra (just above the top of your head), centre of the Infinite and Eternal...

Imagine that your physical body is transparent, as if you are made of clear glass...

Now a stream of warm, liquid Golden Energy pours down within your Column of Light through your Crown Chakra, filling your body and Heart, and pouring out through your feet into your Roots... you become purest gold in this Light... this energy keeps you balanced and aligned as you work in Spirit...

Focus once more on your breathing. You are relaxed and energised. Your mind is receptive and focussed... you may bathe in this Healing Golden Light for as long as you wish... when you are ready, you may proceed with a Visualisation of Meditation exercise... this could be contemplating a Sacred Image or an Ideal, or an abstract Word like Compassion, Power or Wisdom... it could be Creative, for manifesting new conditions or circumstances... it could be an Inner Journey to discover personal insights or answer questions... it could be sending or receiving Healing... it could involve communing with Spirit Guides or Angels... it could be seeking Inspiration for a project or plan... it could be to hear the Guidance from one's Intuition... it could be to visualise oneself in better Health or Career, or with an improved Lifestyle... it could be to programme the Subconscious with positive affirmations... it could be to work a Spell or Charm... it could be to send forth the Astral Body... or it could even be a personal Prayer, or a time of quiet self-analysis...

When you have absorbed what you need, remember to close down your Chakras once more from Crown down to Base, and reseal your Aura with Protection. This is explained in the following exercise...

CLOSING YOUR CHAKRAS

When you are ready to begin closing your Chakras, relax and concentrate on your breathing.

Feel your Roots drawing you down fully into your physical body, connecting you with Mother Earth.

Know that the Golden Healing Energy in your body aligns your Chakras and helps the wisdom and healing that you have received to integrate...

Now begin to slowly and firmly shut down your Chakras. Move from the top downwards, ensuring each flower is closed firmly, all light sealed up within it.

Begin by closing the white Crown Chakra... seeing the light become dimmer, drawing all the energies into the central core, the flower petals closing tighter and tighter, until they are tight shut...
Work downwards. Next close the Violet Third Eye Chakra... then close the azure Blue Throat Chakra...next close the Green and Pink Heart Chakra... then shut down the Yellow Solar Plexus Chakra...and the Orange Sacral Chakra...
...finally close down your Base Chakra, the intense Red light dimming, the flower closing tighter and tighter until shut. Mentally check once more that all of your Chakras are tightly closed... keeping your hand several inches away from the body, pass your hand over the top of your head and down the front of your body... if you feel any heat or sensation as you pass down, it may be a Chakra still active... don't worry, this is quite natural... simply press on that part of the body and revisualise the Chakra closing down tightly until no light shows from it... this will calm the activity down...

Next see a deep blue Cloak of heavy lined velvet hanging beside you. This is the Blue Cloak of Protection which will protect you and seal in your energies.

Mentally pick the cloak up and wrap it completely around you, including underneath your feet, letting the hood completely cover your head and face. The Cloak of Protection is wrapped completely around you and seals your Aura up in complete safety, hiding your Light.

Thank the Universe or Divine Spirit for helping and protecting you.

Return fully to normal consciousness, feeling wide awake and refreshed. Have something to eat and drink as soon as you can. This will 'ground' you fully. Record any unusual ideas or insights you may have had.

WATERFALL CLEANSE

A very powerful cleansing technique, the Waters carry away anything that is negative, extraneous or excessive within the auric field, leaving one deeply cleansed and purified. This technique is the equivalent of a psychic hosing down. There will certainly be a need to close and seal the Aura afterwards; and possibly to replenish any auric energy diminished during the cleansing process with the Golden Healing Energy, before subsequently closing and sealing the Aura. Take your time to assess what might be necessary.

Relax.   Breathe gently and regularly.

Call upon the Universe or Divine Spirit to help and protect you.

Picture yourself standing in the midst of a vast and powerful Waterfall. The rushing Waters are shining, clear-white and strong, the sound pounding your ears.

For a gentler Waterfall Cleanse (more suitable for Regular Practice) if you prefer, imagine a constant pure stream of gentle, smoothly flowing clear water over and around you.

All the Waters flow over and through you, straight down into the centre of the Earth. The important thing in this Meditation is that you really see, hear and feel the Waters in your mind and around your body as much as you can... now see your physical body as transparent, as if made of clear glass...

Feel the Waters pouring swiftly over every part of your physical body, cleansing you as they flow. Then feel them flowing through your physical body, down inside your head and neck, shoulders and back, arms and hands, trunk and stomach, flushing through your organs, nerves and veins, rushing down inside your legs and feet, and out through your Roots.

Then feel the Waters flowing through your Chakras like swift whirlpools, cleansing their centres, front and back... then swirling through all of your auric field, carrying away any blocked or stuck energies and brightening all of the colours and textures within and around your Aura.

Feel yourself becoming purer and lighter, shining and polished like a clear tumbled stone... feel the Waters cleansing and polishing the hard outer surface of your Aura... feel the Waters mending any tears or gaps that might be in the auric field.

Breathe in the Waters, breathing in peace and purity... breathe out any resistances and tension.

After you feel you are cleansed completely, allow the feeling... the sounds... and then the image of the Waters to fade away from around you, leaving you exhilarated. You are deeply cleansed and purified. Give thanks to the Waters for their aid.

Now ask that the Golden Healing Energy to flow into your Aura. Feel its soothing liquid warmth filling every part of your body. Feel the Golden Light like a wave of Divine Love filling up and shining in every part of you, inside and out. See the Golden Light energising your Aura, feel it strengthening your Chakras. Feel it rippling out around you in all directions and shimmering within every part of your mind, body, emotions and spirit.

When you feel warm, replenished and fully embraced by the Light, thank the Universe or Divine Spirit for the Golden Light.

Now close down your Aura and your Chakras. Work through each of your Chakras one by one, from the Crown Chakra down to the Base Chakra, closing each centre like a flower until it is firmly shut.

Check that they are closed completely, and then seal your Aura with the blue velvet Cloak of Protection.

Thank the Universe or Divine Spirit for helping and protecting you.

Return fully to normal consciousness, feeling wide awake and refreshed. Have something to eat and drink as soon as you can. This will 'ground' you fully.

MORNING PRANA

A stimulating and cleansing tonic for the physical and subtle bodies, from which anyone may benefit with regular use; perform the Meditation at least two or three times a week, and see for yourself!

Go out to somewhere peaceful and green in the very early morning, just before or around sunrise. It could be the local countryside, park, common, or your own back garden.

Call upon the Universe or Divine Spirit to help and protect you.

Stand up straight, feet shoulder length apart and focus on the dewy atmosphere around you. All around you, swirling up from within the Earth to a height of six or seven feet, are the natural subtle energies of earth - called variously prana, Qi, Spiritus Mundi or Etheric Energy. You may visualise it (or even see it) as a white or silver-green vapour, faint, somewhat radiant and lighter than air or mist, swirling around the grass and the leaves of the trees, as they exude this pure energy of the morning.

Visualise your Etheric Roots connecting you to the Earth beneath your feet.

Allow your breathing to become deep and regular, but always breathe gently and steadily. It is important to avoid hyperventilation.

Now, with your in-breath, draw in the fresh pranic forces through your Chakras, Etheric Roots, the surface of your Aura and into your lungs. Feel it filling your body with light, clarity and freshness. On your out-breath, expel any stale energy or sleepiness, allowing it to be drawn deep into the Earth. Keep your breathing cycle steady and rhythmical. Breathe with Nature, and the Green Mother Earth. Allow this breathing to draw your mind into the natural environment.

Repeat this cycle of breathing ten times, then relax. Allow the fresh prana to merge with your body and become integrated. Allow yourself this time of peace and oneness with everything around you... you should feel a gentle heat permeating your body, bringing a subtle feeling of vitality, stimulation and quiet expectancy...

If you wish to repeat the exercise, do so after a pause, and for a maximum of three sets. Feel free to combine this with Chi Gong or Tai Chi movements if you wish, or any other gentle movement that feels right for you at the time. Alternatively, this can be performed whilst leaning against a tree that feels friendly and pleasant to you... as you perform the pranic breathing, the tree will absorb your unwanted energies as it does your exhaled carbon dioxide, and in turn you will absorb the surplus Etheric Energy of the tree as well as the oxygen it exudes, which gives a great boost to the health of the auric field... oak, pine, fir and beech are the best trees for this technique.

When you have completed your Pranic Breathing, clench your fists and place them on your belly.

Give a small bow, sealing in your new energies and saluting the bounty of the Mother Earth... touch any tree you have been using and feel a sense of gratitude for its assistance...

Thank the Universe or Divine Spirit for helping and protecting you.


Enjoy your day!
