Repeat this exercise until you feel calm and relaxed. The exercise can be done with your eyes open or closed: whichever you feel most comfortable with and when you are sufficiently relaxed you can move on to the next step.
Visualise a ball of light floating right above your head. This is your 7th chakra: the crown chakra. Picture it. Feel it. See if it appears dull or dirty and if it does it will need cleansing. To cleanse this chakra, visualize a beam of pure energy coming from the Source and entering the chakra. Visualise the energy cleansing the chakra and see all the negativity being washed away. Continue to do this until your crown chakra appears to be a glowing bright white orb.
Next, visualise the ball of light at your forehead. This is your 6th chakra: the third eye or brow chakra. Again, picture a beam of pure white light entering the ball and washing away any dullness and then, when the chakra feels clean and bright, move on to the next step.
Next comes your 5th chakra: the throat chakra. Picture a bright white light coming from the middle of your neck and visualize it washing away the negative energy with the energy from the Source. Continue to do this until the chakra feels bright and cleansed. There is no set length of time it will take to do this and initially it may take some time for you to feel cleansed, however, with practice it becomes easier and quicker.
After cleansing your throat chakra move down to the 4th chakra: the heart chakra. Once again, visualise the beam of pure white light entering the ball of your heart chakra. If it helps, imagine the white light as being a beam of pure energy from the Source and when you are ready, move on to the next chakra.
This is your 3rd chakra: the solar plexus. The steps are exactly the same as before. Visualize the beam of pure energy and when you feel that the solar plexus chakra is cleansed, move on.
The next chakra for attention is the 2nd chakra: the navel/sacral chakra. These chakras is situated just below the navel and again, if it appears dull or dirty, focus on the beam of pure energy washing away all the dullness, the "dirt" and the negativity before moving on.
Lastly there is the the 1st chakra: the root/base chakra, situated between the anus and genitals. Decide whether it needs cleansing (it won't hurt to cleanse any of the chakras if you are unsure) and if so, picture the beam of white light and commence cleansing.
The very last thing to be done is to stand and visualise yourself "taking a shower" in the same beam of energy you have been utilizing throughout the exercise. Only these times, rather than visualizing it entering one of your chakras, see it washing and flowing all over you.
When you have done this exercise a few times you should start to feel an overall improvement in your emotional and physical being. You will also become better (and faster) at doing it.
