Fifty years ago, the only people who meditated were monks living on mountain tops and a few New Age individuals who primarily kept to themselves. Today, it is a popular way to relieve stress and focus one's mind. There are convincing studies showing that meditating has a positive effect on those afflicted with Alzheimer's. Color meditation is practiced by many. It involves improving the mind body connection by focusing on the colors of Chakra.

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 root Chakra, located at your spine's base, is associated with red. This is your life force, and meditations that focus on red will release bottled up anger and frustration. Red is stimulating to your mind and body. It improves circulation. The sacral Chakra is orange. You will find it around your naval. Orange is the tone of physical pleasure and creative energy. It stimulates your nervous system.

Just beneath your breastbone is the yellow solar plexus Chakra. It signifies vitality and mental acuity. Focusing on the yellow Chakra gives you a sense of happiness and optimism. It improves analytical thought. The heart Chakra is associated with green. This is your healing Chakra found right in the middle of your chest. Concentrating your attention on green increases a sense of love and peace.

Self-expression and confidence finds its energy source in the throat Chakra. It is represented by blue. The color of the third eye Chakra is indigo. You will find it above and between your eyebrows. Peace of mind is what you may feel by focusing on indigo. A the top on your skull is the crown Chakra represented by violet. Violet is 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.

Once you have mastered the basics, you can go on to something more complicated. Find the most comfortable position for yourself first. Visualize gold light above you. Pull it down into yourself and feel the relaxation as the light fills your being. Begin by focusing on the red root Chakra and work your way up to the violet crown.

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.
