Root chakra meditation

[firesea]

From Caroline shola arewa, way of chakras

light a red candle and relax yourself and stare into the flame for awhile - the candle is symbolic of the physical body, which is represented by the wick, the flame is the nergy body and the light emanating from the candle is the universal light force( God ). as you stare into the light feel the universal light force all around you, feel the light embrace you......go into the light....know that you are universal light

• now close your eyes and allow your breath to deepen. slow, even, breaths. let your breath flow to all parts of your body. feel the movement of breath as it relaxes every cell.
  
• bring your attention to all the sensations experienced in your body. be aware of your connection to the floor. feel your base on the earth - your feet, legs, buttocks and genitals, sitting on the lap of mother earth. she is holding you. always there giving you her love and support.
  
• visualize the dark earth beneath the floor, under the concrete and deep below the foundations of the building. visualize your self growing roots from your base that reach into her warm belly, into her creative womb. from your roots draw her force, her love and her protection up into your being. fill yourself full - fulfill yourself - with the earths sacred energy. it is yours and you can take as much as you want.
  
• feel the pulse of the earth under your body. tune your entire being to the earths vibration...feel her rhythm inside you...hnow that you and the earth are one. her wisdom is your wisdom.
  
• be still and tune to the flow of earth energy for 15Min's or More

I've done this before. Root visualization is always helpful for me. This is a cool way to percieve it. I'll have to try it.

A red candle? hmmm.....I can see where that would come in handy, almost like a self hypnosis.

[firesea]

its there for focus i think, and it helps calm and centre you.

i do this all the time but I don't use a candle. mostly because my parents don't know i'm a psion and them walking in and seeing me staring at a candle may cause them to jump to bad conclusions. (I'm a Christian)

the root is my weakest one next to my other chakra i forgot what its called the orange one.

[Boldylocks]

I think the orange chakra is called the "Sacral" chakra? not sure though.

This sounds like an awesome way of meditating.
