Clearing Chakras:
It is absolutely essential that a person is well grounded and has a comprehensive understanding of their natures, their triggers, and their partialities before beginning energy work. Opening a certain chakra, or unblocking it, or even magnifying the energy that a person uses can be extremely harmful and damaging to the psyche of the user without proper preparation. Having said that, let us begin.
Also, just as a disclaimer, we may use different shapes for the chakras, but it does not change the fundamental nature of the chakra's energy.
Opening or unblocking the Base Chakra:
This is the "base" of the energy centers and gives a person their grounding. It is usually seen as a red block, but some like to use the colors black and brown.
Calm your mind and enter a meditative state. Feel the Force around you and allow it to penetrate every pore in your body.
Visualize the base chakra within you. See the color vibrate outward from your body and then begin to trace the color back to its origin. Follow the energy line that you are given.
Visualize the block opening as a box would. This can be seen as either from the side or from the top of the box.
Once the box is open, allow radiant red light flow in one stream to the inside of the box and then flow out of the other side of the box in a single current. Create a "loop" between this chakra and the Force.
Allow this current to flow as long as you feel it to be necessary.
If there is a feeling of a block there, focus more energy into the current and "push" the blockage out. As you do this, look at what the blockage is. Search its energy and determine the source of it. This way, you can deal with the matter that put it there to begin with and release it so that it never creates another block.
Now, once the energy has been flowing through the chakra and you feel that it has been long enough and also feel that the chakra is clear, you simply slow down the energy flow until it is so minute that you "turn it off."
To finish up, see this chakra as a solidified red cube and return to normal waking consciousness.
The "Orange" Chakra:
To open or unblock this chakra, calm your mind and go to a meditative state. Feel the Force all around you and within you. When you feel "at one" with the Force, turn your attention to the second chakra...
Visualize an orange disk floating in your body at this site. See it as fluid and notice ripples and ebbs in the orange liquid. I tend to visualize this orange fluid as something like liquid mercury. It is deep and thick, but it is still moveable.
Now, send your intent straight down into the bottom of this orange fluid. When you feel as if you can go no deeper, stretch your feelings out so that the intent remains lodged deep within the chakra, but also extends out and connects with the Force.
Pull in the energy from the Force. (You can change this pulling to focusing orange light in.) Feel it heat the chakra and cause it to bubble and ripple in the orange fluid.
Now, send your intent in search of any blocks or "muck" that may be lurking there. Allow the force to permeate this chakra. Follow its will.
At a point, you will discover that the chakra is clear. Now, pull in orange light from the force and direct it into the chakra, but then send it back out into the Force in a cyclical pattern. I sometimes use the cycle of the figure eight symbol to do this.
You will feel a heat and a "pulling" sensation when this chakra opens up completely.
When this occurs, and you feel confident that all is balanced, simply return to normal waking consciousness.
The Solar Plexus:
Calm your mind and get into a meditative state. Feel the Force around you and within you. When you feel "at one" with the Force, turn your attention to the Solar Plexus Chakra...
Visualize a bright yellow sun suspended within your body at this site. The sun may not appear as brilliantly as you would like. If this occurs, it usually indicates a blockage or a "holdover" from a past ego issue.
Look at the color of this sun. Notice the texture of the surface of the sun, and look for any "tears" or "rips" in its surface.
Once you have analyzed the sun and its being, turn your attention to the center of that sun. See a pinpoint of an opening within it. Now, focus your intent on that pinpoint opening and cause it to grow bigger and bigger until you feel satisfied that enough energy can enter there.
Turn your attention to the Force. Pull in brilliant yellow light from the Force and direct it into the opening in the sun. Once within that opening, focus the energy in such a way that it permeates the chakra and causes it to swell, and then radiates out to the sun's rays. Visualize the yellow Force energy causing the chakra-sun to become more vibrant.
Allow all blockages and negativity to pour out of the sun's rays and change into pure light to go back to the Force.
Once you feel as if you have been cleared, and the "sun" is shining in the most brilliant way possible, simply return to normal consciousness.
The Heart Chakra:
To open or unblock this chakra, calm your mind and enter a meditative state. Feel the Force around you and become "one" with it. Focus your intent on the Heart Chakra area...
(Some people prefer to use pink or rosy red for this chakra, but there is a general consensus that the heart chakra is visualized as green, but trimmed in pink. Use whatever works for you.)
See the heart chakra as a door. It is tall and sturdy and impenetrable. It can be made of any material that you wish, just as long as it is strong. See the colors of the door. (My personal preference is for a pink door, with green trim, but use whatever works best for you.) See any knot work or carvings that may exist on the door, as these patterns can sometimes lead you to a better understanding of any issues that may have blocked or completely closed this chakra.
Now, after you have focused your attention on examining the door, turn your attention to the doorknob. Begin to open that door very slowly. As you open the door, pull in energy from the Force. Again, this energy can be pure and clear, or it can be pink or green. Allow the door to open all the way up, and as you do so, focus more and more Force energy into the open doorway. Do this until the door is opened completely. Release all "blocks" or "muck" out the other side of the door and allow those to be changed into pure energy to be returned to the Force.
Alternatively, you can also create a circuit of energy, such as the figure eight, or a simple loop of energy that allows the Force to flow in and back out, without involving the backside of the door.
Once this is complete, and you feel as if your heart chakra is open and functioning properly, turn your attention to the door again. Leave it open, but say, "My heart is open, but protected." Then, simply return to normal waking consciousness.
The Throat Chakra.
To open or unblock this chakra, calm your mind and enter a meditative state. Feel the Force around you and become "one" with it. Focus your intent on the Throat Chakra area...
See a bright blue inverted triangle superimposed over this area of your body. See it float there and shimmer in its brilliance. Notice the edges of this triangle. Are there any jagged edges, or tears, or breaks? Is the color of this triangle not so brilliant, after all?
Allow the chakra to grow. Let it enlarge to the point where you can see the three points of the triangle clearly.
Now, focus your intent on the Force. Pull in energy to this chakra, but not to the center of it. Instead, let three streams of Force energy enter at the points. (One stream for every point.) Allow the energy to "fill up" the chakra and expand it to the point of being solid. Watch the triangle become "healed." See the tears and breaks in the edges solidify and straighten...
Once you have done this, all any blockages or "muck" to radiate out of the points of the triangle and turn into pure light. Focus those transformed blockages back into the Force. Allow the triangle to radiate brilliant blue light and "shine." This will begin to look like an illuminated, inverted pyramid. This is what you want.
When you feel that all blockages have been cleared, simply return to normal waking consciousness.
The Third Eye:
Before opening this chakra, state that you only wish for what you can handle.
To open or unblock this chakra, calm your mind and enter a meditative state. Feel the Force around you and become "one" with it. Focus your intent on the Third Eye Chakra area...
Now, visualize yourself lying on your back and floating peacefully on an ocean of gently rocking waves. You are at peace with all around you. The ocean comforts you and rocks you back and forth, letting you know that everything is as it should be. You are not alone.
Visualize yourself opening your eyes and looking up at the sky. You notice that there are clouds gathering. These clouds are unlike anything you have ever seen and are so beautiful that you feel as if they must be from another realm. They are made up of all colors, but shimmer with an iridescent quality that is unknown on the Earth Plane. Focus your attention back to the Force and empower these clouds will all energy that you can focus from pure Force energy.
You feel something fall onto your skin and realize that it is beginning to sprinkle indigo/or purple rain drops on you. You reach up and rub the area of the Third Eye. You feel a gentle tickling there...
Now, see another eye in this spot. It is closed now, but is slowly beginning to open up. Focus your intent on the rain drops that are falling and direct them to fall only on the Third Eye.
The drop down slowly, and only lightly touch this Third Eye. As each drop falls, the eye opens just a bit more. Continue this until the eye is completely open and the drops just permeate the eye and saturate it with the Force energy.
Allow all blockages, or "muck" to drain through you and float out into the ocean to be dissolved into pure energy once again.
When you feel that all blockages have been cleared and the energy in the Third Eye is at a level you are comfortable with, slowly return to normal waking consciousness.
***You may feel dizzy and may even experience a slight headache. This is perfectly natural and will pass very quickly.
The Crown Chakra:
To open or unblock this chakra, calm your mind and enter a meditative state. Feel the Force around you and become "one" with it. Focus your intent on the Crown Chakra area...
Now, focus your attention on the Crown Chakra area. Visualize a white disk floating there on that part of your body. Now, see that disk as very hard and sturdy, but penetrable by Force energy...
See a line right through the middle of this disk that splits in in half. See that line opening and two halves of the white disk part. Allow this to open up completely.
Notice anything that may be lurking within the disk. These are the blocks.
Turn your focus back to the Force and allow the Force energy to flow straight into this disk's opening and fill it with pure white light. Allow it to dissolve any type of block or "muck" that may be there. Allow the energy to swirl, or twist, or gently rock as it needs to do.
(Some people have visualized this as the "churn" cycle on a washing machine.)
Once you feel that everything "bad" as been dissolved or broken loose, allow the Force to transport it back into itself and take it with it to the aether.
Now, visualize pure white Force energy radiating outwards from this Crown chakra. Some people like to leave this chakra in this state. Others want to close it back up, which is fine.
If you feel as if you wish to leave it open, simply return to normal waking consciousness. If you feel as if you would like to close it up, allow the two sides of the disk to slowly shut themselves. However, when you visualize the surface of this disk after closing it, allow the surface to become pliable and easily penetrated by Force energy.
No matter which decision you make, know that Force energy is not only coming in to the Crown Chakra, but it is also coming out from your Crown Chakra. You are responsible for what you put out there into the Universe. We all pick up on each other's energy, so make it something that we could all benefit from.
