Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "spinning wheel of energy".

These energy centers

within our bodies receive and transmit energy, and each is situated at a major endocrine
gland, and nerve bundle within the physical body, called a plexus. Each chakra is
connected and associated with a different part of the body. There are seven chakras. Each
chakra has a color, and different gemstones and crystals can be associated with these.
Understanding and using your chakras can promote physical, emotional and spiritual
healing, and can lend energy to your manifestational work.

 Magickal Balance
The top three chakras- the crown, third eye and throat- are the
seat of your masculine energy. They are responsible for critical
and analytical thought, logic and reason.

The lower three chakras- the root, navel and solar plexus- are
the seat of your feminine energy. They are responsible for your
emotional reactions and memories, your creativity, and your
capacity for childlike wonder and delight.

The heart chakra is where the male and female energies

meet- it is the most potent place from which to imagine and
visualize your desires. Staying centered in the heart will help you avoid the pointless mind
chatter of the masculine, and the anxious worry of the feminine; stay focused on your
heart’s desire for the best manifestational results! Controlling the flow of your own energy
is not only the key to success in manifestation, but to your happiness, health and success
in life. How do you do this? Through practicing the art of meditation.

Five Pointed Star Meditation

Find a quiet place and time, where you can have at least
fifteen minutes of peace and quiet. Lie down, with your
arms and legs gently spread apart- comfortably, and not
too wide. Make sure your hands are facing palms up.

Feel yourself sinking into the floor, just melting and

glowing, feeling very heavy. Locate the minor chakras in
your hands and feet- your hand chakras are in the
center of your palms, and your feet chakras are in the center of the arch of each foot.
Open these chakras up, and feel energy flowing through them, up your arms and legs. Let
the energy flow up to your heart chakra- combine the energy from your arms and legs in
your heart center. From the heart center, let the energy flow freely upwards, through the
center of your head, and out the crown chakra. Let this energy fountain out through your
crown, flowing out into your aura. Feel your aura glowing big and bright, like a star.

Keep ‘glowing’ until you feel your energy field is whole and complete. Gently relax the flow
of energy, until you feel solid, and back in the ‘real world’. Your mind should now be free
of clutter, and your body should feel both energized and relaxed!

Sacred Tree Meditation

The Buddha found Enlightenment while meditating under a Bo tree.
This quick and easy meditation may not free you from the Cycles of
Rebirth or the Wheel of Karma, but it might just free you from the
psychic stress and tensions of your day to day life, thus enabling
you to focus more clearly on your true purpose, magickal or
otherwise.

Find a quiet place and time, take off your shoes, close your eyes, and stand with your
hands hanging heavily at your side. Imagine yourself surrounded by a warm, white light,
and breathe this energy in, deeply and slowly.

Feel your feet on the floor, and imagine growing roots- let these roots grow way down
deep, right to the center of the Earth. As these roots ground you and connect you to our
Mother Earth; release all the psychic negativity of your day- release all the people, the
problems, all the responsibilities back to the Earth. Breathe deeply, and feel all the energy
that's been keeping you from feeling grounded and centered drain out, and into the core
of the Earth.
Now, imagine your roots absorbing the nourishment Mother Earth has to offer- feel this
warm, powerful energy from the Earth's core rise up through your roots, through your
feet, your legs, your hips, your torso. When you feel the energy reach your head, let your
tree grow “branches”. Reach these branches up into the Universe, far out into the
Cosmos. Feel the psychic energy of the Universe flowing through your “branches”, through
your head, and down through your trunk. Allow this Cosmic energy to flow right down
through your roots, into the Earth. Feel the Earth energy rising up, the Cosmic flowing
down. You are now grounded to the Earth, and in tune with the Cosmos.

When you are ready, call back all the psychic energy you've lost and left behind through
out the day, and gather it up into a hot, glowing golden sun above your head. Let this
golden sun of your own psychic energy envelope you, flowing through your head, down
your arms, filling up your entire body, right down to your feet. If you want, make another
gold sun to shine down and nourish your ‘tree’. When you are ready, open your eyes,
stretch, and feel refreshed!
