Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity

The Chakras aren't mentioned explicitly in this guided meditation but you can use this 20 minute version of the Peace, Harmony, Unity, Oneness guided meditation to activate your 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Chakras. In parallel with you physical body it is said that you have an energetic body as well. There are seven (or eight, depending on the system) centers or wheels that anchor your energetic body. These wheels of energy, or Chakras, align with a location within your physical body and have a corresponding sensibility. The 4th Chakra (Anahata or Heart Chakra) is located in the center of your chest and is associated with a deep sense of peace. The 5th Chakra (Visuddha or Throat Chakra) aligns with the center of your neck and is accompanied with a feeling of being in harmony with the universe. The 6th Chakra (Ajna or Third Eye Chakra) lies in the center of your forehead and, when opened, gives you visibility into your unity or union with infinity. The 7th Chakra (Sahasrara or Crown Chakra) sits at the top of your head and denotes your oneness with Love. This meditation will guide you through the activation and opening of each of these upper Chakras. To use it in this way, when you hear "Peace, Harmony, Unity, Oneness" visualize your heart, your throat area, your forehead, and the crown of your head, respectively. Peace = Heart Harmony = Throat Unity = Forehead Oneness = Crown of Head See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The senses and the thoughts that arise in your consciousness are so distracting that it is easy to forget that we are neither our senses nor our body nor our thoughts. Who we really are is something completely different. But just because you have forgotten your true nature is fundamentally grounded in love doesn't mean it isn't there. You can connect with the flow and foreverness of unity and oneness. Experience the stillness of peace. Deconstruct the artificial boundaries you have erected between you and the universe. And harmonize with love. Use this 60 minute version of the Oneness guided meditation to do just that. For those who like to work with chakra energies, the oneness sensibility aligns with the 7th Chakra (also called the Sahasrara or crown chakra) so you can concentrate on that part of your energetic and physical body as the meditation unfolds.
