5-Minute Meditation: Chakra Garden

Sit in a comfortable position with your spine straight and your shoulders relaxed. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths. Picture yourself standing on a garden footpath, in the midst of a great flower garden...

All around you are, hundreds of rich, red roses. You stroll along the footpath, reaching out to gently touch the petals of these fragrant roses. You sense a stabilizing energy emanating from these bold roses. This energy fills your body and you feel yourself connecting to the earth...

The path is bending toward the right, so you continue along. Up ahead, you can see where the roses blend into vivid, orange poppies. As you touch these wide, sunny flowers, you feel energized and motivated...

The poppies are followed by bright, yellow daffodils, standing proudly and pulsing with power. These flowers send a charge of power through your body. You realize this is your own power. You feel focused now...

Winding still to the right, the circular path leads you through emerald green Ambrosia flowers. The tiny blooms clustered on stalks wave in the breeze like an ocean. Love and harmony surround you and penetrate you softly...

Beyond the Ambrosia are cobalt blue Irises. They almost seem to light up as you gaze at these showy flowers. Moving closer, you feel the Irises vibrating. Now, a feeling of creativity rises up within you like a blossom itself, calling out for life...

Further on, you find broadly spreading branches of deep Wild Indigo in full bloom. The Indigo blooms are like splashes of indigo paint. Your sense of vision is inspired and you can see all your concerns working out beautifully...

Then, closing the circle, you reach a luxuriant carpet of violets. These delicate flowers seem to have an understanding of you. And now, you can feel a sense of understanding pervading you too, about the world, about yourself, about your life...

Now gently return to your body, open your eyes and slowly begin to move around. You can memorize these images and use them - together or separately, any time you need a chakra boost.
