Begin by finding a quite spot. (i suggest doing this exercise while lying down in your bed.) Close your eyes and take a few deep, focused breaths. Let your thoughts float in front of you, paying no attention to them, as you continue to inhale and exhale.
Bring you hands together in the prayer position in front of your chest, with your ffngertips touching. Rest your hands against your chest as you maintain this pose. inhale deeply...and exhale. Brethe deeply several times.
Seperate your hands, shake them vigorously, and then return them to the prayer pose. Notice the feeling of energy coursing between our fingertips--then seperate your hands very slowly maintaining this feeling. With your eyes closed, try to see if you can percieve the threads of light between your fingertips, creating a sensation of tingling or warmth.
Move your right hand over your first chakra, to it's wide mouth two inches away from your skin. Feel its energy as it spins clockwise. (Some say this feels like cotten candy, while others experience it as a light, tingling snesation.) Now begin "unwinding" the chakra by slowly spinning your hand counterclockwise ten times, imaginingyour body as the face of the clock and your fingers as the hands. Explore the inside of this funnel of light with your fingertips, sensing its energy and noting whether it is cool or warm, tingly or sludgy. Feel the stream of toxic energy flowing out of your chakra and into the earth as you "backwash" this chakra. Now return your first energy center to its normal direction of spin by slowly turning your hand clockwise ten times.
Because every chakra is associated with particular feelings, as you clense each one you may notice that certain emotions or memories arise spontaneously. Allow these sensations to wash through you without analyzing them. Your doing this work at the level of eagle, of energy, so don't distract yourself with psychological or explanations for these feelings. For example, the second chakra governs the fight-or-flight response, and when you clear it, you might remember the last itme you felt frightened or in danger, or you might reexperience the feelings themselves. If this occurs, allow the sensations to pass through you like a soft breeze. They will subside on their own after you've taken a few deep, slow breaths. (Please note that you may not feel any sensations as you do this practice. If this is the case, don't worry--the exercise is effective and powerful, whether you experience any feelings or not.)
Repeat this unwinding action with each of the seven chakras to clense them of any psychic debris, and then be sure to rewind them. Now imagine that you are hovering a few inches above your physical body. After a few minutes, cross your hands over your chest and take three deep breaths. Fully inhabit your body again. Shake your hands vigorously and knead them together. Rub your face with your hands and open your eyes.
