17. Indira's Heart Opening Meditation

17. Indira's Heart Opening Meditation:

Come to a comfortably seated position.

Closing your eyes notice the weight of your body.
Feel gravity pulling your body toward the center of the Earth.

Soften your shoulders and loosen your jaw.

For this meditation we will be envisioning our heart opening with each chakra colour exuding and spreading from our hands so that we will be completely surrounded in each chakra’s particular colour and meditate there for about 2 minutes.

Place your hands firmly on the ground on either side of you. Envision yourself drawing up the energy of the earth into your hands which appears in the colour red and is the colour of the ROOT CHAKRA.

Then circle your arms wide to your sides, spreading the colour red as you go eventually resting them on your knees or your lap, palms facing up. We will stay in this encirclement of red for 2 minutes.
