By Robert Stevens


There is more and more scientific evidence to support what enthusiasts of yoga, meditating, and other forms of channeling mind body energy have long believed. These exercises are good for you, both mentally and physically. There even seems to be some evidence that meditating can reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Color meditation involves concentrating on the colors of Chakra to improve the mind body connection.

Chakra is an essential part of many Indian religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. There are seven Chakra in Hinduism. They are each specific energy sources, and each one has a color associated with it. Focusing on a Chakra and its tone while meditating is meant to bring balance to your mind, spirit and body. In the physical, the Chakras run from the top of your head to the base of your spine.

The base of the spine houses the root Chakra. Red is associated with it and represents the individual's life force. Focusing on it rids you of frustration and anger. The root Chakra stimulates the mind and body. It increases circulation. The sacral Chakra is found in the vicinity of your naval. This Chakra stimulates the nervous system and is associated with creativity and physical attraction. Orange is the color assigned to it.

The solar plexus Chakra is associated with yellow and located below your breastbone. Yellow is a sign of mental alertness and vitality. When you focus on yellow, you improve your sense of optimism, happiness, and improve analytical thought. Green is the color of the heart Chakra. You will find it in the center of the chest. Green is for healing. Concentrating on it will increase your sense of peace and love.

Blue represents the throat Chakra, and that is where you will find it. Meditating on blue increases confidence and self-expression. Indigo is the tone of the third eye Chakra. It's found in the middle of your forehead. Concentrating on indigo gives you peace of mind. Finally, the crown Chakra located at the very top of your head is represented by violet. Violet is the color of universal consciousness.

When you first start this form of meditating, you probably should concentrate on one specific area. Experts suggest before you begin that you think about the things that of most concern to you. If you are having trouble in a relationship for example, you need to focus on red. People who have a specific physical issues need to meditate on the tone that represents that part of the body.

When you are ready to try all the colors, begin by visualizing a gold light over you. Draw it down and all the way through your body. Once you are completely relaxed, and the light is illuminating your whole being, you can begin to concentrate on the individual Chakras. Start at the root, which is red, and work your way up.

Meditating is more work than most people, who have never tried it, think it is. Meditation requires concentration and discipline. It is an ancient belief that has stood the test of time.
