  One of the best meditation techniques for opening and balancing the chakra points, is the visualisation meditation technique. In this technique, the color attribute of each chakra is exploited and used an instrument to stimulate and awaken that particular chakra.Let's begin first though by giving a brief overview of the chakra system and how they work. Chakra points are energy vortexes that reside in the astral body and transmute energy between the three bodies that make up a human being – the physical body, astral body and mental body. Chakra points essentially move energy between these bodies, by raising or dropping the frequency of the energy as required Each chakra resides in a particular location along the spine from the base to the crown of the head, and the health of the chakra is reflected in the health of the organs and systems in that particular region. In addition, chakra points are responsible for personality traits and having the chakra in balance, means to have your physical, emotional and mental bodies in balance as well. So now that we have an understanding of chakra points, let's delve into the visualisation meditation technique which can be used to open, heal and balance the chakra points.

Either lie on your back, or sit up in cross legged posture with your back straight. 2. Close your eyes and take five deep slow breaths to help relax you and calm the mind. 3. Now begin to visualise the color red at the base of your spine as a glowing ball of red light. Feel your breath moving in and out from this center while continuing to imagine a red ball of light emanating from that location. 4.
