Meditation comes in lots of different styles and one of these is becoming very popular. The number of people studying Chakra Meditation is increasing and this is mostly due to the fact that it is simple to learn. Not only is Chakra Meditation simple to understand but the techniques are easy to memorize. Once people have learnt these techniques they do not wish to study any other methods of meditation.

Chakra Meditation focuses on various parts of our body such as your head, heart or any of your major organs. Essentially there are 7 chakras located throughout your body and these are the: eyebrows or forehead, perineum, heart, throat, swadhisthana, navel and the top of your head. The main chakra point is located at the base of your spine and this is known as your coccyx. The chakras located within your body are all very important as they are linked to your security and health.


It is normal for people who learn Chakra Meditation to be taught that the Chakra is an unseen energy that is located at the centre of our nervous system which starts at the beginning of the spinal column and runs through your entire body to the top of your head. Actually a lot of people believe that it is the biophysical energy of a person's body.

As with all styles of meditation, when practicing Chakra Meditation, there are a number of steps that you should follow, especially if you have just started meditating or you are learning how to meditate on your own. The most important beginner steps to Chakra Meditation are:
