Base/ power chakra question

[star]

I have used NEW and done very well so far though I can't figure out sponging for all I'm worth.

I would love for some tips to help me start to stimulate that first chakra.

I think It would be Extremely useful in kinda getting me just past the legs and arms in NEW. I just haven't been able to get any feeling from that first chakra yet.

Hi Star,

It's not at all uncommon for people to respond differently, or not respond to the techniques R.B. uses here. Just the same as we don't all learn things in the same way.

If the sponging doesn't work for you, perhaps a "grounding" excercise will. The Base chakra draws it's energy from Mother Earth. If we connect ourselves to the Earth when starting an energy meditation such as N.E.W. we are connecting to one of the greatest natural energy sources we have available.

Try this and see if you like it:
What you need to do here is use a bit of imagination. Imagine your feet becoming tree trunks. From the bottom of your feet, picture roots growing down into the earth. Imagine these roots going deep down, and they keep on growing down through the earth until the reach a huge glowing golden ball of energy - the heart of Mother Earth. As your roots grow into this beautiful ball of warm glowing energy, they start to draw this energy up.

You keep drawing this golden earth energy all the way up until it starts to flow up through your body, through your legs, where it gathers in your hips, in the base of the spine. You imagine this energy building up around your base chakra, and picture it swirling like a whirlpool. The centre of this whirlpool is focussed on your pelvic floor. Let this golden earth energy infuse your pelvic floor area until you start to feel a tingling sensation on your skin, which is when your base chakra is opening up and drawing all this wonderful energy in to your body. Even if you don't feel much sensation on your skin, or any at all, allow this energy to keep moving up through your spine, through all the other chakras until you are completely filled with the radiant energy of the earth.

You might not feel anything physically, not every one does. You probably will get a feeling of peace, of being centred and balanced. Grounding does that tou you.

From here you can go with any other exercise you wish. you can work with this energy alone, or you can open up your crown chakra and allow Divine white light to come down and mix with the earth energy to give you a balance between the earth energies and the divine spirit energies.

See how you go with this, and write back to let me know if it has helped at all. The thing here is there is no one right way to do energy meditations. Keep trying different methods, or mix and match bits of different methods until you find one that you are happy with.

Blessings,
James.

i believe it's all imagination correct? those are just examples you can use?


what i meant by that rediculiously obvious question that basically answered itself is,  basically try to imagine in any way, a connection of starting from your 1st, that builds up all the way to your crown?


and is base the root chakra??
