Chakra Cleansing and Balancing Visualization

Cleansing and balancing the chakras helps to remove energy blocks and re-energize the energy body. Over time stagnant energy can build up in the chakra system causing blocks which can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue, emotional distress and anxiety. In this visualization we allow golden source light to cleanse and balance the chakras. Golden source light is the pure energy of love that connects all living things in the universe; it is of the highest healing vibration. Practice this chakra cleansing and balancing visualization at least once a week for best results.

Note: As you practice this visualization you may find that your chakras present themselves to your minds eye in a specific manner, they may even change over time. My chakras often feel like gentle funnel clouds of energy spinning in a clockwise manner. For example, my root chakra is a large red upside-down funnel cloud that spins clockwise starting at the base of my spine and spreading out as it moves down to the earth. Allow yourself to experiment with visualizing your chakras in different forms to see what feels right for you.

Chakras: All

Benefits: Energizing, Balancing

Time: 15 minutes

1. Begin by finding a quiet place where you can sit or lay down comfortably without being disturbed. If you have a set amount of time for the visualization practice set a timer so you won’t have to worry about keeping track of the time.

2. Take 5 deep cleansing breaths, in through the nose down into the belly/base of the spine. Breath gently here, as you settle in your breaths will become deeper automatically.

3. Once you have settled imaging a beam of golden light coming down from above through the crown of your head. Imagine this golden beam of light traveling through your crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakras. Breath.

4. Imagine the golden light filling your root chakra creating a beautiful vibrant red energy center at the base of the spine. As you breath in imagine your root chakra being filled with golden light, as you breath out imagine the golden light breaking up and pushing out any blockages or low vibrational energies from the chakra. Complete two more rounds of breath in this manner.

5. Next move onto your sacral chakra, taking 3 deep breaths imaging golden light filling up the lower belly creating a bright orange energy center and releasing any stuck or stagnant energy.

6. Continue with this pattern, taking three breaths at each energy center and imaging the color associated with each energy center glowing and expanding as you go, releasing any stagnant or low vibrational energy.

   • Solar plexus/belly – bright yellow

   • Heart/chest – emerald green

   • Throat – aquamarine blue

   • Third eye/forehead between the eyes – indigo

   • Crown – light sparkling violet purple or opalescent

7. Now that you have filled each chakra with golden source light and released the stagnant energy, continue breathing in the golden light through the crown of the head down through each energy center. Allow the golden light to flow through your chakras going where it needs to. You may feel some of the light flowing out of your chakras into your aura or you may feel extra light flow to a particular chakra. Breath.

8. Continue breathing this beautiful golden light down through your chakras until you feel each chakra is full and balanced. Visualize the golden light flowing through your root chakra into the earth, grounding any energy that your chakras don’t need. Breath.

9. Remain here feeling the smooth balanced flow of energy moving through your chakras into the earth for as long as you like, breathing deeply and gently.

Thank yourself for taking time for this practice, for balancing and nurturing your chakras.

Overtime cleansing and balancing your chakras can help release and heal past traumas and reprogram stuck energy patterns. As stuck energy is released you may experience different emotions arising unexpectedly, this is normal. Let these emotions flow, don’t hold onto them but don’t try to push them away. They will naturally be released to flow into the earth and be transmuted. Drink lots of water, rest and allow yourself grace to process any emotions that may arise.
