Today's topic is how to activate all the chakras. Seven chakras, especially. 7 chakras are described in indian system of yoga.
Yoga is a system. Remember, yoga is not a religion. So the yoga system is a system to improve yourself. We have 7 chakras.
I have shed lot of light on the chakras, their functions, what they do, what we feel. Today, you will hear how to activate them.
First chakra is called muladhara. Let me tell you. When you visualize the first chakra, base of the spine, you have to visualize red light.
Because it is a red color. So when you visualize red color, it begins to work. If it is not active, what do you feel?
If it is not active. So, you will feel if it is suppose, active, you will feel well-balanced and sensible, very stable. And very much secure.
You will not distrust people, at all. You will feel that you are present at the moment. And you are connected to your physical body.
But if it is not active at all, then what you will feel? You will feel very fearful and very nervous. And you will not welcome to anyone.
But, sometimes it gets overactive. When it is overactive, you will feel very materialistic and greedy. Greediness will not secure your life. Security will be far, far away.
So how to activate it? Very well-balanced, very well-sensible, stable, secure. So first you visualize red light or red color there. And there is a sound. It is called LAM (LANG).
LAM, LAM. L like Larry, A, M. LAM, LAM, LAM. You can recite this sound with visualizing the color red color, red light.
LAM, LAM, LAM... So, this sound will activate this chakra.
The 2nd chakra is svadhisthana. You can activate this. You have to visualize orange light. This represents very much feeling and sexuality.
If it is open, what you feel? You feel that you can express yourself without any emotions. You cannot be overemotional.
So you can express yourself. You will not have problems like people have problems with sexuality. They cannot function very well.
So if it is open you will feel that there is no problem at all. In female's body or male's body. If this chakra is not active, you feel unemotional and you are not open to anybody.
But sometimes it gets overactive. When it is overactive you become very sensitive. You become very emotional all the time. And sometimes when it is really overactive you feel lot of sexual energy.
And let me tell you how to balance it. First, you have to do it, orange light, visualize below two inches on your svadisthana, second chakra and it is a water sound.
First chakra was earth sound, like you sit around the earth or mountain, but this chakra you have to visualize orange color and water like the ocean, river, streams, fountains.
This is really seat of unconscious mind and this is also collective conscious. It has all the samskaras, it has all the instincts - this chakra.
You need to balance it. Let me give you one word. Orange light. Orange color. And the sound is VAM (VANG), VAM, VAM. V, A, M. V like Victor, A, M.
VAM, VAM, VAM... Just repeat it several times. Maybe a few minutes.
And have fountains or something water there or ocean sound. It will be active and plus it will be balanced.
3rd chakra is called manipura, in the navel. That is yellow color. You have to visualize in your navel yellow color. When it is working, it is open, what are the symptoms?
You have confidence and especially when you are in the group you are very confident. You feel you are in control. You feel very very graceful and dignity around you.
Sometimes it is underactive, it is not active at all. So what you will feel? Very passive and indecisive. But, sometimes it is very overactive. When it is overactive you feel very aggressive.
And it is problem. So, how to balance it? First of all you have to understand this is the color of yellow color and the element is fire. Because you have to visualize a fire. If you are around a fire you will see a big flame.

It is like air, wind is its element. If there is a sound of the wind, it helps to balance it. And sometimes when you are sitting in the dark room you just have a burning flame.
It will help. So this way the green light... So if it is open what can you do? You care about the other people, you love, also you have good relations with the other people.
But if it is underactive, what happens? You are cold towards anyone. Not friendly at all. Sometimes it is overactive, so overactive means you have so much love that you suffocate all the people with it.
