this meditation uses vocal sounds made during meditation
along with music to open and
harmonize the chakras while bringing awareness to them.
the meditation can bring you
into deep, peaceful, inner silence either through making
your own vocal sounds or by just
listening to and feeling the sounds within you. this
meditation can be done at any time.
first stage: 45 minutes
stand, sit comfortably, or lie down if you prefer. keep
your back straight and your
body loose. breathe into your belly rather than your
chest. the sounds should be
made with your mouth open and your jaw loose, keeping
your mouth open the
whole time. close your eyes and listen to the music; if
you wish, start making
sounds in the first chakra. you can make a single tone
or you can vary the
tone. let the music guide you; however, you can be
creative with your own
sounds. while listening to the sound of the music or the
sounds that you
make, feel the sounds pulsating in the very center of
your chakra, even
if it seems to be imagination at first. osho has
suggested that we can
use the imagination in “becoming attuned to something
that is already
there”. so keep doing the meditation even if it feels
like you may be
imagining the chakras. with awareness your imagination
can lead
you to an experience of the inner vibrations of each
center. after
making sounds in the first chakra, you will hear the
tones change
to a higher pitch - this is the indication to listen and
feel sounds
in the second chakra. if you wish, you can continue
making
sounds also. this process is repeated all the way up to
the
seventh chakra.
as you move from chakra to chakra, let your sounds
become higher in pitch. after listening to and making
sounds in the seventh chakra, the tones will descend
one at a time down through all the chakras. as you
hear the tones go down, listen and make sounds
in each chakra. feel the inside of your body
becoming hollow like a bamboo flute, allowing
the sounds to resonate from the top of your
head down to the very base of your trunk.
at the end of the sequence, you will hear
a pause before the next sequence starts.
this upward and downward movement of
sound will be repeated three times for
a total of approximately 45 minutes.
second stage: 15 minutes
after the last sound sequence, re-
main sitting or lying down in si-
lence with closed eyes. remain
in silence and don’t focus on
anything in particular. allow
yourself to become aware
of and watch whatever is
happening within. relax
and remain a witness,
not judging it. |
