Need Help on two things

[physco kid]

Ok I NEED help on meditation. From after two tries of meditating I am having problems now! I don't know what happened. Every other time I now try nothing comes. Or if a color shows up and I try to look at the color closer it POPS! Its so weird I would like to know why that is happening .

Ah yes the second thing. I need to learn more about Chakra 's and how to close and open them. And to heal them.

Thanks to those who read!

Your problem is to much focus maybe?
If the colour pops then let it pop. Nothing needs to come.
Meditation isn't about expecting certain things to happen. Let your mind clear and see what it lets you see.

Remember there are no rules to meditating so find a way that's best for you.

Here are the chakras...

Root - this functions on the lowest vibrancy. This is centred around survival; our primary function. Eating red foods (in their natural form) amplifies its energy, and it's place is pretty much over the space between the genital or the anus, but you can place a crystal on the very lowest point of your torso instead. A carnelian crystal has a kindred energy to this chakra, so by placing this on the chakra and relaxing yourself, or simply carrying it around, can help with its developement or opening, I find. You can also experiment with chants, by pressing the index finger to the tip of your thumb and chanting LAM.

Sacrum - this is over where the female sexual organs are, and deals with interaction and relations. (When trying to figure out exactly where all these are, measure along your body using the length of your palm, if you need to.) Eating orange foods amplifies this. I find that carrying a tiger eye can really aid this chakra, and you can place it on the chakra area before sleeping and simply concentrate on the area (no meditation, if you don't wish it. It's not always necessary.) You can place your palms gently in your lap, left hand underneath, concentrate on the lower back and chant VAM.

Naval - this really speaks for itself. It is the chakra centred around the human ego, and material experiences and gain. For example, when you spend time with good people and have fine food and drink, this chakra will benefit very much. Carry a yellow carnelian, or concentrate with the stone on this spot. This type of crystal use was all it took to open my lower three chakras. You can also place your hands before your stomach and touch the tips of your fingers, the points directing away from you. Then chant the sound RAM.

Heart - this point is at the sternum, at the centre of your chest and level with the heart. It is associated with the rose quartz crystal. Sit cross-legged with your left hand palm-down on your left knee. Then place your index finger and thumb together at the tips and place the touching point upon your sternum, chanting YAM.

Throat - the throat chakra governs communication and expression. I usually use lapis lazuli upon this chakra, but you can use pretty much any much blue crystal. Sit cross-legged, as you've done for all the others, and interlink your fingers upon each other in a concave bowl, before touching your thumbs above them to mimic the anatomy of the throat itself. Make sure the middle fingers are straight and touch at the tips, chant the sound HAM.

Third Eye - when you see hindus with red thumb-print marks between their brows and about a centimetre up, this is a symbol of the third eye. The third eye is our psychic chakra, governed by the pineal gland nestled within the brain. Over the years it has shrunk from lack of use, first being the size of our two other eyeballs, but now the size of a meagre pea. It allows us to cut through illusion, and is essential to spiritual growth. Carry a purple amythst with you, and concentrate on this chakra. Put your hands before your breast, and straighten the middle fingers so their touch at the tips, whilst bending the other fingers so they touch at the upper two phalanges. Point your thumbs so that between them and the index fingers, you can see something of a heart-shaped gap. Chant AUM or OM.

Crown - this is what connects us to spirit, God or The Source. It is placed at the crown of the head, and stones such as clear quartz (wands especially) help with this chakra. Just ensure you do not try to open this yourself without a strong root chakra first. Put your hands before your stomach, and allow the tips of the ring fingers to touch. Cross the rest of your fingers, with the left thumb underneath the right, and then chant NG.

Hiya,
I also do meditation but I must do it in a different way, once you've cleared your mind, don't you redirect it on something? Like a mantra?

I began working on it so I am new to it. I usually try to clear my mind but it don't work real well. I usually try to redirect it when I play calm music. I never tried a mantra though. O.O

Cool, I've been doing it for about 3 years, it's hard to concentrate at first but it gets easier and easier Repeating a mantra makes meditation a little easier and more effective I believe because it gives you something to concentrate on. When you've cleared your mind perhaps (if you want to) you could try repeating the mantra "Baba Nam Kevalam" in your head, it means "Love is all there is" in Sanskrit.
The reason I said that repeating a mantra makes meditation more effective is because they are typically in Sanskrit. This is an ancient language, which yogi's thousands of years ago uncovered. You know that sound is a vibration? Well mental sounds vibrate your mind internally and the yogi's who uncovered this language spent many years discovering which sounds vibrate which chakra's and so by repeating this mantra you'd be vibrating your chakra's in a positive way.
If you wish to try it out, when you've successfully cleared your mind, taking deep breaths, in your head repeat "Baba nam" when you breath in and "kevalam" when you breath out and remember the meaning "love is all there is", try to feel it.
Good luck,
Kayleah
