Here are some more information for Sacral Chakra:

Have you noticed that a warm, sunny day in early Spring can bring out droves of people? After a long winter there is a strong urge to get outside. We've been cooped up in our homes and offices for months, away from the sun and the outdoors.

This craving for the outdoors and nature is referred to as biophilia (love of living things). Scientists have theorized that humans have a biological need to bond with and be close to other living systems, including: animals, plants, habitats, objects in nature and even the weather.

The term Nature Deficit Disorder was first coined by author Richard Louv in his book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder. He refers to the biophilia theory and suggests that many of our children are suffering as a result of the disconnect from nature created by our modern lifestyles.

However, it's not just children who need nature! We all need this connection to nature to some degree.

Nature has a rejuvenating effect. A mindful walk in the woods is not only grounding but helps you to get centered and present. There is energy in the air, in the sunlight and from the natural world that supports your wellbeing on all levels.

For example, a walk in the woods can affect your chakra health (and therefore your overall health) in the following ways:

Chakra 1 (Root) - Making direct contact with the earth by walking reinforces your energetic connection to the earth and helps you feel mentally and emotionally grounded and stable.

Chakra 2 (Sacral) - The sacral chakra is the seat of your feelings. The sensual experience of being out in the woods (sights, sounds, smells) stimulates and feeds this chakra. And feeling the strength and mobility of your body reminds you how good it feels to be alive.

Chakra 3 (Solar Plexus) - The Solar Plexus is the seat of your personal power and self-esteem. Quiet, reflective time alone allows you to connect with your true self.

Chakra 4 (Heart) - The Heart chakra is associated with the vibrational frequency of the color green, the predominant color of all plant life. As you observe the beauty of creation that surrounds you in the woods, the feelings of appreciation, love and gratitude that you feel support a coherent and healthy heart.

Chakra 5 (Throat) - As you observe the blue background that the sky provides to the trees above you, let the vibration of that blue color feed your Throat chakra. Listen to the soothing sounds of the woods and learn to speak as the birds and insects do-expressing your truth and feelings honestly.

Chakra 6 (Brow) - Walking can be a form of meditation-let the rhythm of your step move you to a state of openness and release. This walking meditation can help open you to wisdom, insight and clarity.

Chakra 7 (Crown): The Crown is our connection to the Divine. Witnessing the oneness of life in nature reminds us of our connection to all of life. As you witness the hand of the Creator in the natural world, you experience a greater sense of inner peace.

There are many ways to experience nature, even if you live in an urban area. You may have to aim for small-scale nature for everyday-your own yard, a local park, a lunchtime walk appreciating the sky and a nice landscaping job.

Are you drawn to certain natural settings or animals? Does spending time with them make you feel better? Pay attention to how you feel in different natural settings-what "feeds" you.

You may find that the sunset colors in the desert are what you really crave. I find that I am drawn to moving water-the energy near a river or an ocean beach is energizing and cleansing.

I also feel soothed by trees. If you need help getting grounded, try this: lean against or hug a large tree and let the tree "help" you connect to the earth. Trees are very grounding with their many roots going in all directions into the earth and their years of growth.

The sun itself is a huge source of life force energy. It's no wonder we crave the outdoors after months of short days and being shut up inside all winter.

Time spent in nature is never wasted. Find a way to experience nature on a regular basis as part of your self-care routine.

Why Chakra Meditation is so Important to Life

Meditation is one of the best things you can do to bring a little relief to your mind, your spirit and even your physical body. It is a practice which has been with us for thousands of years; the ancient civilization of India was one society well aware of the benefits provided by meditation. We in the West have come to an understanding of meditation as a tool for achieving better mental and spiritual health only recently. On of the most effective and simple methods of meditation (and for precisely this reason, the most popular) is Chakra meditation.

The Basics of Chakra Meditation

Chakra Meditation is a means of striking a balance between the seven energy centers of the body; these are known as Chakras. Once these energy centers are properly balanced, proper energy flow through the body can be achieved. We should briefly explain these seven Chakras:

1. The Crown Chakra; located at the top of the head, this is the Chakra which relates to our thought; wisdom, knowledge and our very consciousness.

2. The Brow (or Third Eye) Chakra - this Chakra is located between the eyebrows and relates to the element of light; that is to say our powers of perception and visualization.

3. The Throat Chakra - this Chakra is found at the base of the throat and is tied to the element of sound. This Chakra is related to our ability to communicate and our creative impulses.

4. The Heart Chakra - found in the center of the chest close to the heart, this Chakra is responsible for your capacity to love and feel compassion, as well as governing your relationships. This Chakra is related to the element of air.

5. The Solar Plexus (or Power) Chakra - situated just above the navel, this Chakra is related to our will power as well as our metabolism. This Chakra is related to the element of fire.

6. The Sacral Chakra - found just below the navel, this Chakra relates to physical love and our generative organs, as well as the creative impulse.

7. The Root (or base) Chakra - Found at the base of the spine, this Chakra is responsible for our general physical health, as well as security and prosperity. This Chakra is related to the element of Earth.

To refresh yourself and bring things back into the proper balance, nothing works better than does Chakra meditation. If all of these important energy centers are in proper alignment, then you will enjoy better health; physical, mental and spiritual. Chakra meditation can make a huge difference towards fostering better health and a better life for you.

Chakra Meditation:- The Process

Chakra Meditation consists of three techniques:

1. Grounding - This technique aims to make you feel physically connected with the Earth. Close your eyes and visualize a root growing from your body and into the Earth beneath you. You will need to focus intensely in order to do this successfully.

2. Centering Technique - Take a few deep breaths. Tighten and relax each part of your body, from bottom to top; visualize yourself relaxing as you do so. Finally, visualize centering a piece of pottery on a potter's wheel.

3. Relaxation Technique - This can be anything which works to produce the necessary state of relaxation for you, but many find that visualization techniques are best to achieve this.
Here is a simple way to perform Chakra meditation:

a) Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.

b) Close your eyes and try to shut out external stimuli - you want to have as few distractions as possible.

c) Breathe naturally - your breath will naturally reach the proper state.

d) Begin to concentrate on each part of your body from toe to head. Eyes still closed, feel the surface you are sitting or lying on, the air around you; visualize your surroundings.

e) You may find this difficult at first, but just let any distracting thoughts run through your mind - they will work themselves out and disappear with practice.

f) Don't hold your consciousness back; let it flow as it will through your body.

Do this meditation for as long as needed at any time of the day!

How to pronounce the chakra chants???

I have a tutorial that reads that during the opening of the root chakra you chant LAM, sacral-VAM, naval-RAM, heart-YAM, throat-HAM, third eye-OM, and crown-NG.

It also says that 'a' is pronouced "ah" and 'm' is pronounced "mng."

So is LAM pronounce "Lahm" or "Lahming?" Also how do you pronounce "NG?"

Thank you so much you all!!!!!!!

First of all, when you asked how to pronounce chakra chants this really is a language question.

Since this is a language question it does not belong in the R. and S. section of Yahoo answers

Since this question does not belong in the religion and spirituality section of Yahoo answers than most people on this forum would not answer your question.

So I would recommend going to the Yahoo answers a language section and asking this question again !

As always, best wishes
