This practice allows you to access the wisdom contained in the energy centers of your chakras. You will lend your voice to the chakra center you want to communicate with directly. The more you can relax and surrender, the easier it will be to access the wisdom of your chakras by allowing them to speak in their own unique voice. This process increases intimacy, removes blockages and improves vitality.

Reserve 30 to 60 minutes for this practice. Make sure your phone is turned off and no one is disturbing you. This can be done alone or with a partner. If you’re doing it alone, keep your journal nearby so you can take notes. You can also choose to record the experience. If done with a partner, only one person speaks and the other acts as a witness. They can take notes if both parties consider it appropriate. The witness must not interrupt the speaker while their chakra is speaking.

Start with a heartfelt salutation, sit across from your partner, and look into their eyes. Maintaining eye contact throughout the rest of the process, begin by extending your arms toward the ground, palms together. Then, inhale and keeping your hands in a prayer position, bring them to your heart. Exhale as you lean forward and acknowledge the Divine in each other with the Sanskrit greeting “Namaste.” Namaste means, I honor the Divine in you as a reflection of the Divine in me. Inhale as you straighten up. Finally, exhale as you allow your hands to return to the starting position, pointing toward the ground.

Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Now direct your attention to the chakra you are going to listen to. Take slow, soft, relaxing breaths into your belly. Relax deeply for several minutes. As you exhale, exhale any tension you are holding. As you inhale, inhale life force energy (pnana/chi/ki) and feel how your body is energized.

When you are relaxed, focus your attention on the chakra you feel called to connect with. Place your hands on the area related to that particular chakra. Breathe into it and begin to tune into the energy of this chakra. Invite him to talk to you by offering him your voice. “I invite you to speak out loud and I give you my voice.” Start by having the chakra share your name. “I Heart, I wish to share my wisdom with you.” Then allow the chakra to speak to you, in the first person, “I, Heart, want to share that I’ve been feeling ignored lately. Crystal hasn’t been listening to me… I’d like to… It would be helpful if…” Continue tuning for 5-10 minutes or more. There may be pauses as information is accessed. Stay present with the process until you feel complete. End with a greeting to the heart.
