The goal of meditation is to clear the mind and remove any mental clutter.

Clear that monkey mind!

Meditation can be done anywhere, but there are certain times when it is more beneficial to do it at home or in a quiet place.

• One should find an area that has no distractions, such as other people, light coming from outside, or loud noises coming from other rooms.
• Second, sit in any position that you feel comfortable (you don’t have to bend your left leg around your neck just yet) and take some deep breaths in and out, with your eyes closed.
• This may feel weird at first, but try and stick with it. Pulling air into your body, begin to exhale slowly, feeling the chest rise and fall. As you exhale, imagine that you are blowing out all of your excess negativity and stress.
• You will notice the monkey mind at play, trying to interupt you with the reminder for the tax bill that is due soon, or that you need milk from the shop. Let this happen and observe.
• Build up your time in meditation daily. Your concentration and also relaxation will improve, and it will translate into your daily life. You may see things, blobs of vivid bright colors, you may feel outstanding levels of peace. These are the first magical steps. Stick with it and carve out your own journey!

A lot of people use healing music to unblock their chakras to encourage and allow the energy to flow freely through the body.

This can be done by using specific sounds or frequencies that are known to have a positive effect on the chakra system.

What are the Healing frequencies for chakras

Healing frequencies are electromagnetic waves that use sound healing to heal the body.

The frequency for each chakra is 7.83 Hz. There are 7 chakras in the body, so each will have a corresponding frequency in that range of 7.83 Hz (7).

There are known to be 6 Original Solfeggio Frequencies (but not limited)

A set of six specific sound frequencies have been shown to produce correspondingly dramatic changes in consciousness, namely when played on a piano.

Each frequency relates to a different chakra and each frequency corresponds to a color.

These are called the “Original Six Solfeggio Frequencies,” or “The Six Healing Solfeggio Frequencies”.

The Original Six Solfeggio Frequencies are:

1. Ut – 396hz
2. Re – 417hz
3. Mi – 528hz

5. Reiki Healing

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”.

It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

If one’s “Ki” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

So Reiki can be translated as “spiritually guided life force energy”.

Reiki Healing Steps

In order to do self-reiki on yourself, you will need:

• A quiet space
• Reiki stones
• A towel or mat – plus your hands!

If you cannot find a quiet space, you can still do reiki on yourself by using your breath as a focal point to invoke the healing energy.

• Start by taking a deep breath in through your nose and exhale out of your mouth. Repeat three times, inhaling through your nose and exhaling out of your mouth.
• Once you have completed one round, visualize the air coming into the top of your head to be surrounded by white light. While focusing on this light around the top of your head , use your thumb and index finger to close your eyes.
• While keeping the light in mind, send it down your spine to the base of the spine. Repeat three times, sending the light down from just above the head to about two inches below where it meets with your tailbone.

Do this for a total of five rounds focusing on that spot all at once.

Reiki Benefits

The energy healing benefits of Reiki are clear, having been used for over 100 years it has been proven that Reiki can help people with anxiety, depression, addictions, PTSD, and more.

For professional advice we advise you seek the help of a reiki practitioner, who will be able to treat, guide and advise you appropriately.

It is a great place to start, to explore and to build a really strong foundation, before moving on to other blocked chakras.

The Root Chakra: What is it and How to Balance it

The root chakra is the first chakra in the human body. It is located at the base of the spine, and it has a number of functions.

Responsible for providing energy to all other parts of the body. This energy comes from food, water, air, and sunlight.

This chakra also controls our basic needs such as sex drive and sleep patterns.

What are the Signs of a Root Chakra Imbalance?

If it is imbalanced, it can affect every aspect of our lives.

The signs of imbalance are:

• Not feeling grounded
• Feeling like you are living in your head
• Feeling disconnected from your body
• Having trouble sleeping
• Having a hard time trusting others
• Being too attached to material things

How to Balance Your Root Chakra

When it gets out of balance we may experience some kind of anxiety or depression.

1. We could start by using some gentle meditation, every day for 5 minutes. Building up to as much or as little as we would like.
2. Incorporate more red and root foods into our daily diet, fruits and vegetables that grow below ground and anything that is red or orange in color.
3. Grounding exercises such as walking barefoot on grass, spending time in and around nature (meditate inside of a peaceful forest or wood), walk barefoot through a stream or river.
4. Use crystals such as red jasper, place them on the area near to your back whilst lying down, walk whilst holding them. Wear as jewellery.
5. Try some yoga poses, ease your way into them or if you are advanced, go for something more challenging. The Cat Pose: This pose stimulates circulation by stretching out your spine from head to tailbone while also opening up your chest area. The Cobra Pose energizes the energy of your body by both stretching and stimulating circulation at the same time. While doing this pose, you need to focus on breathing deeply into your belly, which will help to stimulate the area around your stomach.

Everybody is different, – you have to experiment! Have fun with it too – it is what makes our journeys unique.
